The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner :[Al-Fath 48:10] .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It is known from other evidence that He, Blessed and Exalted is He, is in the sky with His attributes, so does that mean the verse has no meaning?
The Shaykh : No, it has meaning. May Allah reward you. Its meaning is to magnify this pledge of allegiance and to warn against violating it. It has a great meaning, just as one might say to a person, "Fear the One above you," meaning "Fear Allah." The intent is to magnify this pledge of allegiance and to be cautious about breaking it.
