Clarification of the Correct Creed Regarding the Meaning of Istiwa'

The Shaykh : If you build your creed on the basis that Allah rose above the Throne, meaning He elevated Himself above it in a manner befitting His Majesty (Mighty and Majestic), it is not permissible for us to ask how He did so or to imagine the manner of it, for Allah the Exalted is above what the mind can conceive. And read the saying of Allah the Exalted: And if people give you a ruling and you give a ruling contrary to what the Qur'an and the Sunnah indicate, do not accept it. Do not be a follower who says, "I am just like the people." The common person knows the meaning of "istawa" (rose above) upon a thing, which means He elevated Himself above it. Read the saying of Allah the Exalted: Complete the verse, do you? Complete it, complete it.
