Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: In His saying, “Looking toward her Lord,” is there evidence for affirming the direction of elevation for Allah, the Exalted?
Answer:
Yes, they will see their Lord from above them. They will see their Lord from above them; they will not see Him among them, no, from above them. He will look down upon them, the Exalted, and manifest Himself to them so they look at Him, like the moon and the sun. They see them from above them; they see them on the earth, but they see them in the sky, above it. Yes.
