And it is made explicit that those who said this *** interpretation are people of misguidance, by proof (Proof that the rising of Allah above the Throne is a specific rising)

The Shaykh :"And it is made explicit that those who said this *** interpretation are people of misguidance, by proof"
There is no doubt that they are misguided, and what greater misguidance is there for a person to say, yes, the most eloquent, and what greater misguidance is there than the misguidance of a person who says: Allah did not rise above His Throne, meaning: He did not become high above it. We believe that Allah is above the Throne, meaning high above it, but is this height the general height over all creation? The answer? Is it the general height encompassing all creation, the rising of Allah above the Throne? No, no, this is a specific height.
We give an example, and to Allah belongs the highest example. If a person places a chair on the roof and sits on it, he is above the chair, and at the same time he is high above the chair and the roof. So the rising of Allah above the Throne is not the height encompassing all creation, but it is a specific height that pertains to the Throne. For this reason, it is not appropriate to say that Allah rose above the sky or above the earth, even though He is high above them.
