How do we respond to those who deny the Exaltation?

The Shaykh : Ayub

The questioner : ... the argument for ... the innovator says, "You, this is..."

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : And you have no evidence for specifying that it is the Exaltation of His Essence.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Also ... this is a sign of tawhid (the oneness of Allah).

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : It is not a sign of direction, because a sign requires the one pointing to see the thing pointed to, and ... the time, so how can he point to it?

The Shaykh : Yes, as for the first point, we say: Who told you that the intended meaning is the Exaltation of the Attribute? Who said ? Absolute and fitting the descent of the physical human is the physical Exaltation; there is no doubt that this is the fitting one. As for the sign of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), where is the tawhid? Did he say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) so that he would affirm the oneness?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : He did not mention it, nor did he say it. As for the claim that it is pointed to, it is not pointed to unless it is seen; this is incorrect. Allah the Exalted points to the Qur'an by it frequently, points to the reward of the believers by it frequently, and points to many things that are understood but not seen. Yes.
The student : The time, Shaykh

The questioner : Is it the wisdom of Allah?

The Shaykh : The time has ended.
