(Explanation of the Ta'tilah's statement regarding the Exaltedness of Allah) There is no Lord above the Throne, and the Merciful did not speak with the Qur'an. If there were a Lord above the Throne, it would necessitate...

The Shaykh : Yes, this passage says: In what came before, if the universe had a Lord, a Creator, and He was described with His various attributes, it says: If this were a fixed reality, then the truth would be with whom? With the people of Tajsim (ascribing a body to Allah), the Mujassimah, and the people of Tajsim are the people of the Sunnah and the community. And you say that Tajsim is invalid. So if Tajsim is invalid, then the existence of the Lord is invalid, and the existence of His speech is invalid, and that He is established above the Throne is invalid, and that He is described with attributes is invalid. And at that point, the best thing is to leave these matters and these assumptions, and to deny the Creator, deny the resurrection, and deny everything, and to be free and unbound from everything, and to leave the lawful and the forbidden. What does it mean to leave them? It means to leave adhering to them. Do not say, "This is lawful, so I do it," and "This is forbidden, so I leave it." Be free and break through this fence, which is the lawful and the forbidden, because the lawful and the forbidden are a fence, like a wall around a garden, that supports it and encloses it. So the lawful and the forbidden, my brothers, are a wall that encloses faith and prevents it from being harmed from the outside. And so you find that when a person leaves the forbidden for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), his faith strengthens, and when he performs the obligatory to draw near to Allah, his faith strengthens. So these limits, as Allah named them, are limits that preserve the heart, and the stronger this fence is, the more preserved the faith is. He says, "Break through it." The author says:
"Break through it and enter, and you will see within it *** That all colors have been prepared for you"
Meaning, if you break through this thing, you will find that all colors have been prepared for you. From where? From what one desires of the adornments of this world and its pleasures, which have no limits. And at that point, what happens? If one adopts this description, he becomes a Zindiq (heretic) and a Mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), who does not acknowledge a Lord, nor the lawful, nor the forbidden. Reflect on how Ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) led intelligent people to Kufur (disbelief) in Allah, because these intelligent people... as is understood from the author's words, looked into the methodology of the people of Ta'til and found it to be nothing. They looked into the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community and found it also, according to the people of Ta'til, and... found it incorrect as well. Yes, so what did they say? They said, "Then we will not be with these people nor with those people. So throw... and leave everything, do not make anything lawful, do not forbid anything, and be free." And this, may Allah protect us from it, is the height of heresy and denial. Yes.
