Explanation of the author's statement: "...Chapter Twelve: Reconciling the texts regarding Allah's rising above His Throne and His being with His creation"

The Shaykh :"Reconciling the texts regarding Allah's rising above His Throne and His being with His creation". This chapter, and chapters like it, are important for the student of knowledge, whether in the practical sciences of rulings or in the theoretical sciences of creed. This is because some texts are ambiguous, leading to the perception of a contradiction between the texts of the Book and the Sunnah, which is not the case. They strike the Book of Allah with parts of itself, saying, "This contradicts that, and this refutes that," and the like. Or they resort to affirming one text and negating the other. However, the people of faith and knowledge follow a different path: there is no contradiction in the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), nor is there a contradiction between the speech of Allah and the authentic Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is because all of it comes from Allah, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) speaks only the truth and never speaks falsehood. Contradiction implies invalidating one text with the other, which would necessitate that one of them is false. But Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is such that all His speech is truth and veracity, and it does not contradict itself.
