(Explanation of the belief of the Jahmiyyah, the refutation of them and their doctrine of indwelling, the denial of the elevation of Allah, and the explanation that the disbelief of the Jahmiyyah is greater than the disbelief of the Jews and the Christians)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This group is the Jahmiyyah, and whoever says what they say, they say: "Allah the Exalted is in every place by His essence, not by His knowledge." They say that Allah is in every place by His essence: in the mosque, in the market, in the house, in the car, in the airplane, in the latrine, in the bathroom, I seek refuge in Allah, in every filthy place, Allah is in every place by His essence. And there is no doubt that this is disbelief, pure disbelief, and I seek refuge in Allah. No one who has a grasp of intellect or religion can describe Allah with this description. The Christians, may the curse of Allah be upon them until the Day of Resurrection, said that Allah indwelled in 'Isa ibn Maryam until 'Isa became a god, so He descended to the earth to redeem the poor and the oppressed and to spread love among the people. This is the belief of... these people did not say that He indwelled in one of the creations; He indwelled in what? In every place. And this undoubtedly necessitates either the multiplication of the Creator or the division of the Creator. Either He is parts and limbs, with each part of Him in a direction, or He is multiple, not one. This is apart from the fact that conceptualizing this issue is a great deficiency regarding Allah, for this statement necessitates a great deficiency regarding Allah. The author, may Allah have mercy on him, says that they have principles, that they have other doctrines besides this, and I mentioned their principles when I mentioned Jahm in the meters. This means it will come, if Allah wills, because he will devote a section to the Jahmiyyah in a single chapter.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, these are the Jahmiyyah and whoever follows their path, they say that Allah indwells by His essence in every place. Yes.
