Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The minds have not understood from it a throne of Balqis" Yes, the one who denies the attributes says, come, [Taha 20:5] upon the throne of Balqis, and she had a great throne. Does anyone understand this? Never. And for this reason he said:
"The minds have not understood from it a throne of Balqis, nor a house upon pillars"
The word Throne is applied to a ceiling and to pillars. Do people understand from the saying of the Exalted:[Taha 20:5] that He rose above a ceiling upon pillars? Never, they do not understand that.
"No, nor a throne upon the sea" The throne upon the sea is the throne of Satan. Satan sets up his throne upon the sea and sends his soldiers to mislead people. Does anyone understand that the Throne upon which the Most Merciful rose is the throne of Satan which is upon the sea? No. "Nor a throne for Jibril without a building"
They also do not understand from it the throne of Jibril. And that is because when the revelation was delayed from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the first thing that came down to him, he heard a sound, so he raised his head, and there was Jibril (peace be upon him) on a chair between the sky and the earth. This is the throne of Jibril. Yes.
"No, nor the throne which, if it were to crumble" In your dialect, if it crumbles, with the taa, with the tha, if it crumbles means it is destroyed. "A servant would fall to the lowly depths"
Who is it whose throne this is? The throne of the sultan. The king has a throne, but if someone from below him pulls it, it falls. Do people understand[Taha 20:5] that He rose above the throne of the sultan?
"No, nor the throne of the grapevines, and these grapes in a field and in a garden"
They did not understand that He rose above the throne of the grapevines, the grapes. Never. All these names for the Throne cannot be understood from the saying of the Exalted:[Taha 20:5] Therefore, their repetition of this speech and their saying that the Throne is capable of many meanings is invalid. And is it anything other than invalid? It is invalid, because all these meanings that they mention are not understood from the saying of the Exalted: [Taha 20:5].
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
