And likewise, they said that He is above the Throne in His essence, and His power is in every place (The use of the term "essence" and its reason)

The Shaykh :"And likewise, they said that He is above the Throne in His essence, and His power is in every place"
Likewise, they said: To whom does the pronoun refer? To the people of the Sunnah, whom these people called anthropomorphists (mujassimah). They said that Allah is above the Throne in His essence, above the Throne by His essence, (Glorified and Exalted is He). They only said "by His essence" in response to those who said that He was not above the Throne by His essence, but rather above the Throne by His type, as it is said: "Gold is above silver." But they said "by His essence" in refutation of them. Otherwise, there is no need to say "by His essence," because every action that Allah attributes to Himself is attributed to His essence. Does creating the heavens and the earth require us to say "by His essence"? There is no need; He created them Himself. And so, everything that is attributed to Allah is attributed to His essence. As for His power being in every place, they said meaning the dominion of the Throne and its subjugation. So Ibn al-Qayyim said: His power is not specific to the Throne; His power is in every place, it is not only on the Throne.
