The Shaykh :"That which is above the highest heavens *** and the Throne, and which is distinct from the creations"
"is our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He *** truly, He rose above the Throne, al-Rahman"
There is a grammatical issue with al-Rahman here. Either we say that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) broke the final letter to accommodate the rhyme, meaning to fit the meter, and some grammarians have permitted changing the grammatical case for the sake of the rhyme; or we say that al-Rahman here is not the subject of "rose above" (istawa), but rather an apposition or an explanatory addition to the pronoun in "Glorified" (subhānahu), i.e., "He is our Lord, Glorified, al-Rahman," or to the pronoun in "and by His praise" (wa bi-ḥamdih). Yes, that is correct.
