The Descent of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to the Lowest Heaven

Question:
The position of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) descends to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains. So how do we respond to those who say that the last third continues throughout the earth?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, Allah is capable of everything. He is the One who created the heavens and created the earth and measured the night and the day. And He informed His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that He descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, and He says: “Is there anyone asking, that I may give to him? Is there anyone calling, that I may respond to him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him?” So we believe in this and we also act upon it. We make supplication in the last part of the night, at the time of the dawn, and we seek forgiveness and ask Allah for our needs, because it is a great opportunity that Allah has made available for us. As for the question about the difference in the third of the night due to the difference in the earth, this is a question about the manner. We do not say how He descends. We say He descends (Glorified and Exalted is He) with an attribute befitting His Majesty (Glorified and Exalted is He), like His other attributes.
