The Response to the Denialists Regarding the Negation of Direction from Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The denialists hold that the necessary consequence of negation is non-existence. They respond to this by saying that directions are created things and are not permissible for Allah, neither a direction nor a place. So how do we respond to them?
Answer:
They should know that this is a simple, newly invented statement. The One who created the directions is the One who informed us that He is in the sky, that He is in the direction of height. The One who created the directions is the One who informed us, and His messengers informed us, that He is in the direction of height. Yes.
