The Meaning of the Poet's Statement (Explaining the First Type: Istiwa, Mentioning Its Occurrences in the Qur'an, and Refuting Those Who Said the Meaning of Istiwa is Istiwa) — Part of It Is Istiwa

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Part of it *** "
That is, from these types
"The Lord's istiwa above the Throne in *** seven occurrences in the clear Qur'an "
The istiwa is mentioned by Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in seven places in the Qur'an: in Surat al-A'raf, in Surat Yunus, in Surat al-Ra'd, in Surat Ta-Ha, and in Surat Yunus
The student: We mentioned them

The Shaykh : We mentioned them, we mentioned them, and in Surat al-Furqan, in Surat al-Hadid, and in Surat al-Sajdah. Seven places where Allah mentioned them all
He settled upon the Throne استوى على العرش
with this wording
"And likewise, it was consistent without the lam *** "
That is, all seven came with "istawa" and did not come with the lam, meaning He did not say in any of them "istawala" over the Throne, but rather He said
He settled upon the Throne استوى على العرش
and He says
"*** Even if it had been the meaning of the lam in the minds "
"It would have come with it in one place *** "
That is, if "istawa" in meaning had been the same as "istawala"
"It would have come with it in one place *** "
That is, in one place, in order
"So that the re *** st would be carried to it by the second explanation "
The second explanation referred to here is the one in which the lam was used, so the other texts lacking the lam would be carried to the text in which the lam is present
