The claim that Allah sits on the Throne
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: It is mentioned in some books of creed that Allah sits on the Throne. How accurate is this statement?
Answer:
What has come and been established in the Qur'an is[As-Sajdah 32:4], so we affirm that He rose above the Throne. As for the claim that He sits, it requires valid evidence. Whether it is said that He sits or that He is seated, it requires evidence. We affirm what Allah has described for Himself, and we do not attribute to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) what has not been established.
