The ruling on specifying the location of the Preserved Tablet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The author of Tafsir al-Jalalayn, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Buruj: 22] said: It is in the air above the seventh heaven. Is it permissible to specify this, or is it not permissible?
No.
The issue of it being in the air is not permissible. We do not know whether it is in the air or settled upon the sky. Then, we advise our brothers, our young students, not to delve deeply into matters of the unseen; because regarding the unseen, we have only what we have been taught, and as for the rest, it is obligatory to remain silent about it. This is the methodology of the Salaf.
[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
