The Shaykh :"And it indicates that its implication is not that the Essence of the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) is mixed with creation, that Allah the Exalted mentioned it in the verse of the disputants between the mention of the generality of His knowledge at the beginning of the verse and its end, saying:
Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing. أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ نَجْوَى ثَلاثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلا أَدْنَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلا أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُوا ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
[Al-Mujadila 58:7]
"
Where is the knowledge?
Have you not considered that Allah knows أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ
[Al-Mujadila 58:7]
and the second is
Allah is Knowing of all things. إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:231]
.
Here is a linguistic point: "three but He is the fourth of them," and in the Qur'an
They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." لقد كفر الذين قالوا إن الله ثالث ثلاثة
[Al-Ma'idah 5:73]
the grammarians say, and this is the meaning of the language, that if the third is of a different kind, you must say "fourth," but if it is of the same kind, you say "third." "Third of three" was said, and not "third of two," why? Because it is of the same kind, according to the claim of the trinitarians who say that the gods are three. If it were of a different kind, it would have said "third of two." Okay,
three but that He is the fourth of them ثلاثة إلا هو رابعهم
[Al-Mujadila 58:7]
why did it say "but He is the fourth of them" and not say: "There is no secret counsel of four but He is the fourth of them"? Because it is of a different kind; this is a created being and this is the Creator. Okay.
"So the apparent meaning of the verse is that the implication of this presence is His knowledge of His servants, and that nothing of their deeds is hidden from Him, not that He, Exalted is He, is mixed with them, nor that He is with them on the earth" And if this answer becomes clear to you, then that is the objective. And if it does not become clear, then you must adhere to the original principle, which is the Highness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The Highness of Allah is among the essential attributes, and the meaning of essential is that which He does not cease to possess. So He, Exalted and Glorified is He, has always been High and will always be High.
