Reading and Annotation: (Clarifying the meaning of the elevation of Allah and its types: elevation of essence, elevation of dominion, and elevation of power) He is the Most High, so all types of elevation are established for Him without denial

The reader: "He is the Most High, so all types of elevation are established for Him without denial"

The Shaykh : The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that elevation is by essence and by attributes, and the attributes are of dominion and power. So His elevation is elevation of essence, elevation of power, and elevation of dominion. Elevation of essence is that He is above everything by His essence. Elevation of dominion is that He is the Subjugator of everything, the Prevailing One over it. And elevation of power is that His power is above all power, and no one reaches Him in His power. If you wish, you may say that His elevation is of two types: elevation of essence and elevation of attributes, and this is more concise, encompassing all attributes. He is high in His hearing, high in His sight, and high in all His attributes. Yes.
