The meaning of the poet's statement: "And He is above the Throne, Exalted is His Majesty *** So we and their party are adversaries"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And He is above the Throne, Exalted is His Majesty *** So we and their party are adversaries"
"We" means the Mu'tazilah and the Asha'irah, and "their party" is whom? The people of tajsim (ascribing a body to Allah), in their claim, and among them is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they are the people of the Sunnah and the community. "But we are at peace, and you ***"
It means that between us and you there is peace, not war, because you assist us in denying the elevation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The one who assists the one who is wrong in his falsehood has peace between them, but on the Day of Resurrection there will be war between them, as Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zukhruf 43:67] And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-A'raf 7:38] He said
"You did what is the very essence of the impossible, and there is no *** Lord or Judge above the Throne"
I seek refuge in Allah. "Its elevation is the very essence of the impossible ***"
And we say that His elevation is the very essence of perfection. The elevation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is undoubtedly the very essence of perfection, and it is part of His perfection (Mighty and Majestic) that He is above everything. There is no god but He. He said
"Do not set up opposition with us, for it has no *** taste, for we and you are at peace"
It means do not oppose us and do not dispute with us, because opposition has no taste, since it is not a valid disagreement.
"*** And we are at peace" meaning we are peaceful toward one another.
"This is what, by Allah ***"
"This is what, by Allah, is deposited in their books *** So look, O one who has two eyes, and you will see"
(may Allah have mercy on him) Yes.

Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous
الأخلاء يومئذ بعضهم لبعض عدو إلا المتقين[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister
قال ادخلوا في أمم قد خلت من قبلكم من الجن والإنس في النار كلما دخلت أمة لعنت أختها"You did what is the very essence of the impossible, and there is no *** Lord or Judge above the Throne"
