How to reconcile the hadith (Our Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven...

The Shaykh : If we understand this, we return to the authentic hadiths that establish that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night and says, as you know: . This divine descent is the answer to the question just raised from two aspects: the first aspect is a general one, and the second is a detailed one. As for the first, general aspect, it is not permissible for any Muslim to ask about the manner of any of the divine attributes: how He descends, how He hears, how He sees, how He provides for the creatures of jinn, humans, animals, plants, and so on. No "how." Therefore, Allah (the Exalted) said: . The premise of this question is based on misguidance, namely likening the Creator to the created. When we recall this hadith that He descends every night, and as mentioned in the question, in every moment of the night, how does this descent take place? This is a difficult question for us humans. For example, if you are listening to me speak, and there is another person speaking, and a third, and a fourth, you do not understand anything, neither from me nor from the others. Why? Because we humans, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said in the Qur'an: . We do not have the capacity in our ears and hearing to comprehend all sounds at one moment. This is for us. Is it correct to ask how our Lord hears the desires and requests of people? It is not correct. The question itself is wrong: to ask how Allah descends every night and in every moment, when there is night in one place and day in another. This is the general answer, and its basis is that the Muslim should keep in mind that the Creator is not measured by the created, so one does not say how He hears, how He sees, how He comes, or how He descends. No "how." . As for the detailed answer, which is detailed relative to the first: We say that the night in every region is divided, for example, we say "the third of the night." In every place where there is night, there is a third. This third is expansive, so there is no problem. Even from the perspective of measurement for us, there is no problem that Allah (Mighty and Majestic), if He descends here, for example, in Amman in the last third, Amman is vast, but the third of the night is also vast. So we do not imagine it to be just this one moment. The difficulty arises from our limited and very narrow conception of unseen matters. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth when he said: and so on. This is the answer to this question.
