Answer:
The methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community is to believe in the exaltation of Allah, and that He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is above the Throne, above all creation, as He, Exalted and Majestic is He, said: [Ghafir: 12]. He, Exalted and Majestic is He, said: [al-Baqarah: 255].
And He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [al-A'raf: 54]. And He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [Ta-Ha: 5]. And He, Exalted and Majestic is He, said: [Fatir: 10]. And the verses in this meaning are numerous.
So the people of the Sunnah and the community believe with absolute certainty that He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is in the exaltation, above the Throne, above all creation. There is no disagreement among them in this, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
