Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And He is the One who is God in the heavens and God in the earth, and He is the Wise, the Knowing," and the refutation of the *Hululiyyun* who say that Allah is in every place

The Shaykh : Our discussion tonight concerns two matters:
The first matter: commenting on the saying of Allah the Exalted, Blessed is He:[Az-Zukhruf 43:84] The *Hululiyyun*, the misguided *Jahmiyyah* faction, took from this ambiguous verse the idea that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is in every place with His essence. May Allah disfigure them! They did not purify Allah, Mighty and Majestic, from being in any place on earth, even if it were a place of filth, dirt, stench, carrion, menstruation, or the like. This is because they said: Allah said: [Az-Zukhruf 43:84] They also said: Allah said: [Al-An'am 6:3] And they said: Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Hadid 57:4].
They used these verses as evidence, and these verses are among the ambiguous ones that are hidden from those whose hearts Allah has blinded and turned astray[Ali 'Imran 3:7].
The first matter: commenting on the saying of Allah the Exalted, Blessed is He:
And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.
وهو الذي في السماء إله وفي الأرض إله وهو الحكيم العليمAnd it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity
وهو الذي في السماء إله وفي الأرض إلهAnd He is Allah, [the only deity] in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secret and what you make public
وهو الله في السماوات وفي الأرض يعلم سركم وجهركمand He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
وهو معكم أينما كنتم والله بما تعملون بصيرThey used these verses as evidence, and these verses are among the ambiguous ones that are hidden from those whose hearts Allah has blinded and turned astray
