And you made above the highest heavens *** a direction, and you have attributed to this the negation of it by weight (another example of a word that carries both a true meaning and a false meaning, namely "direction")

The Shaykh : He said: "And you made above the highest heavens *** a direction, and you have attributed to this the negation of it by weight"
You said: If we say that Allah is above the heavens, it necessitates that He is in a direction. And if He is in a direction, then the direction encompasses Him. This necessitates that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is encompassed by it. So we deny that He is above the heavens, because that necessitates a direction. And glory be to Allah, those who say that either say that Allah the Exalted is not above the creation, nor below it, nor to the right, nor to the left, nor connected, nor separated. We say to you: What have you now denied? The existence of Allah. Or they say that Allah is in every place by His essence. In that case, they have made Allah the Exalted contained within the created things. If He is in the room, the walls of the room are what? They encompass Him. So you fled from one thing and fell into something worse. Yes.
