Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is said that the highest of created things is the Throne. In a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated by Abu Hurayrah—and it is agreed upon as authentic—that when Allah finished His creation, He wrote a Book with Him above the Throne. So which is higher: the Throne or the Book?
Answer:
The Throne is the highest of created things, and the Book is placed above the Throne.
Q: So which is higher: the Book or the Throne?
A: If it is said of something that it is above the Throne, it means that it is above it, and Allah is above all, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Q: So the Throne is higher than the Book?
A: The Book is above the Throne. Do you not understand the language? If it is said of something that it is above the roof, does it mean that it is under it or above it?
Q: Is not this tablet above the Throne one of the created things?
A: They are all created, for everything other than Allah is created.
