Al-Sha'rawi's statement regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: "The Most Merciful rose over the Throne"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
So he asked him, "What is the opinion of His EminenceThe Shaykh : regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Taha 20:5] Is our Lord described as having the attribute of being above? He reacted with great anger, claiming that Allah has no place and no time, and that Allah is everywhere. This is the misguidance that you know, which is not found only among the general Muslim public, but also among many of their scholars. He deviates from the creed, and he often interprets the verses with a figurative interpretation in order to make them fit the concepts of the present age.
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
الرحمن على العرش استوى
