Is there anything above Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) when He descends to the lowest heaven?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This question is perhaps the one before it.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : The previous question asks: When Allah (Mighty and Majestic) descends to the lowest heaven, is there anything above Him? So here it asks: Is it correct to say that we neither affirm nor deny that there is nothing above Allah with regard to the time of descent; ... has anything been reported about it? We do not say we neither affirm nor deny; is it correct to say this?The questioner ؟
The Shaykh : How can anything be reported? He has the attribute of being above, and this is an eternal, established attribute; so we cannot deny it at any moment. So it is not said here: nothing has been reported.
Another questioner : No, nothing has been reported about the descent ... .
The questioner : It has been reported that ... .
Another questioner : Meaning we argue ... nothing has been reported if there is something above Him or if there is nothing above Him, we do not know.
The Shaykh : This is the answer. We have prior knowledge that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has the attribute of being above; is that right or not? This knowledge is established in our minds, and nothing has come to us to deny it with regard to the state of descent, so we remain with the prior knowledge of it ... .
