Does affirming the coming of Allah contradict His exaltation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. If we affirm that Allah comes, whether by running or otherwise, would that not contradict His exaltation?
The Shaykh : No, no, may Allah bless you. This is correct with regard to the created being, but with regard to the Creator, there is no contradiction, for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] is in all His attributes. As the Shaykh al-Islam said in al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah: "He is High in His nearness, and near in His height". Yes, shall we continue?
The Shaykh : No, no, may Allah bless you. This is correct with regard to the created being, but with regard to the Creator, there is no contradiction, for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
