The statement that Allah descends to the lowest heaven with His own self
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks via the network: Is it permissible to say that the descent of Allah the Exalted with His own self to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night is known by innate disposition?
Answer:
This is not known by innate disposition; rather, it is known by the truthful report from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We affirm it as it came: “Our Lord descends.” We say “Our Lord descends” and we do not say “with His own self” or “other than His own self.” We do not enter into that. We affirm it as it came: Our Lord descends however He wills, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
