Where is Allāh?

Allāh is Above His Throne — Allāh is Not Everywhere

‪⠀

[1]

❝Saying that :

"Allāh is everywhere"

is MAJOR SHIRK which NEGATES the TAWHEED of ALLĀH in His names and attributes.❞

⠀

[Shaykh al-Albani, Silsilah Al Hudaa Wan-Noor, p. 741-742]

EVIDENCES FROM THE QURAN :

[a]

❝Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then...

(Open your Quran, Surah Yunus (ch. 10), ayaah 3. It says : )

...استوى على العري، ...

...ESTABLISHED HIMSELF ABOVE HIS THRONE, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?❞

[Quran, Yunus (ch. 10) ; 3]

⠀

استوى : ROSE OVER

على : ABOVE

عرش : THRONE

‪⠀

[b]

❝Do you feel secure that He, Who is OVER the HEAVEN (Allāh), will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake? Or do you feel secure that He, Who is OVER the HEAVEN (Allāh), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning.❞

[Quran, Al-Mulk (ch. 67) ; 16-17]

⠀

[c]

❝The Most Gracious (Allāh) ROSE OVER (Istawā) the (Mighty) THRONE (in a manner that suits His Majesty).❞

[Quran, Taha (ch. 25) ; 10]

⠀

[d]

❝Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He ROSE OVER (Istawâ) the THRONE (really in a manner that suits His Majesty).❞

[Quran, al-Ara'f (ch. 7) ; 54]

‪⠀

"But what about these verses (below)?"

[i]

❝...and HE IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.❞

[Quran, al-Hadīd (ch. 57) ; 4]

⠀

ANSWER :

• The green highlight : Allāh is with us.

• The yellow highlight : section of the verse explains HOW He is with us.

‪⠀

[ii]

❝[Allāh] said, “Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both ; I hear and I see....”❞

[Quran, Ṭāhā (ch. 20) ; 46]

⠀

ANSWER :

• The green highlight: Allāh is with them.

• The yellow highlight: section of the SAME verse explains HOW He's with them (through seeing & hearing them).

‪⠀

"Those verses say that Allāh is with us wherever we are?"

In both verses Allāh talk about the knowledge of Allāh and the Sight of Allāh meaning HE is ABOVE His Throne ; but through His KNOWLEDGE and SIGHT... He is with us.

‪⠀

[iii]

❝And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said : “O Hāmān! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways, The ways of the HEAVENS, and I may look upon the Ilāh (God) of Mūsā (Moses)…❞

[Quran, Gafir (ch. 40) ; 36-37]

EVIDENCES FROM AHĀDITH :

[a]

❝Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

"When Allāh completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him ON HIS THRONE, 'My Mercy overpowers My Anger.'"❞

[Shahih Bukhari no. 3194]

‪⠀

[b]

❝Narrated Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه :

Allāh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say at the time of difficulty,

"None has the right to he worshipped but Allāh, The Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, the right to be worshipped but Allāh, The Lord of The Heavens and THE LORD of The Honourable THRONE.❞

[Shahih Bukhari no. 7431]

‪⠀

[c]

❝...when the Prophet ﷺ asked a slave girl, “Where is Allāh?”

He ﷺ said (to her master), “Release her, for she is a believer."❞

❝Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that this DOES NOT mean in any way that Allāh is in the midst of, or surrounded by the heavens, as none of the righteous predecessors of this Ummah (community) or its Imams ever stated that ; rather they AGREED that Allāh is established on His Throne above the heavens and is distinguished from His creation with no similarity whatsoever between Him and His creation in terms of His Attributes, Names, or Power.❞

لا أدوا Disease is not contagious . There exists _ijma'_ of the Ummah on the correctness and validity of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم pronouncement. No authority of Islam had ever dared to reject رسول الله "La adwaa" pronouncement which explicitly negates the mushrikeen-kuffaar concept of contagion. Any Muslim who entertains the slightest doubt in this regard should make his way to Hell, which is the pathway in life for the Zanaadiqah and the Munaafiqeen. Total and blind _yaqeen_ in every aspect of the Deen is imperative for the validity of Imaan. "IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR ANY MU'MIN NOR ANY MU'MINAH WHEN الله AND HIS رسول HAVE DECIDED AN ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE ANY CHOICE IN ANY OF THEIR AFFAIRS.(THEREFORE ) WHOEVER DISOBEYS الله AND HIS. رسول ,VERILY HE HAS GONE ASTRAY MANIFESTLY" (Al-Ahzaab,Aayaat 36) 'Social contact' does not transmit diseases. This is the Islamic concept stated with clarity by رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

[bintekhillafah]

When رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم said : 'laa adwaa' a Bedouin said: " ```O رسول الله ! My camels in the desert are (healthy) like wild bucks. When a scurvy camel mingles with them,they all become scurvy. "``` The mushrikeen held the same belief as the atheist of today regarding diseases being contagious. In refutation of this corrupt belief , رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم asked the Bedouin: " _Who infected the first camel ."_ That Being who gave the disease to the very first camel , Is the one Who gives the disease to the others. While الله تعالى directly caused the disease to infect the first one, He uses this one as the worldly vehicle to transmit the disease to all those whom He has earmarked . Without الله command, the disease will not befall who have not being destined to contract it . Thus the vast majority of the population generally remains unaffected.

HAQQ will always remain the HAQQ

People change, times change but the HAQQ will always remain the HAQQ whether the kafirīn, mushrikīn, murtaddīn and munafiqīn like it or not. One day you may see someone pushing the HAQQ and the next you may see them pushing batil, but this won’t change the TRUTH. The purifying process will carry on until the establishment of the Hour. Remain steadfast upon the MILLAH of IBRAHIM even if the entire world turns against you.
