Of, 2 issues that the Allah
is with us
and that the Allah
is above the throne? Okay.
There is a verse in the Quran that
says, He
is with you wherever you are.
And then we have other ahadith and other
ayan from the Quran
to show us that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is above his throne.
How can we combine between the 2? And
there's a lot of controversy regarding it.
Before I mentioned the actual narration that combines
between the 2,
we need to know brothers and sisters that
we must announce saying that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is everywhere,
and leave it like that unrestricted.
What does that mean? That Allah is everywhere.
And everywhere is what? The toilet, the sewage.
Allah
is in the feces. Allah
is everywhere and anywhere.
And we must have keep it unrestricted like
that.
That Ayah itself, brothers and sisters,
when we look at the beginning of the
Ayah and at the end of the Ayah,
what is he speaking about?
He's speaking about hail.
Allah says,
Do you not know that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala knows
what's in the heaven and
the beginning of the ayah is speaking about
what? Il, knowledge. And the end of the
ayah is speaking about il again.
So what the scholars said in order to
combine because we can't just take one and
leave the other. We have to get the
ayat and try to reconcile between them all.
Now the world
win us through his knowledge.
Topics, we have the Quran and the Sunnah.
Right?
And whose understanding do we take? Do I
take my understanding?
My uncle?
My granddad? My teacher? My chef?
Because we know
that
the people's intellects, they differ. Everybody has different
levels of intellect.
And because of this today, brothers and sisters,
we see there is a big signal amongst
the ummah.
People wanna use their brain to explain or
interpret a certain line.
Rather, that we should that which we should
stick to is not my understanding or your
understanding or understanding of the Sahaba.
How they understood these Mus'us. They lived with
the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and they
lived what was being revealed upon him.
When we now look
at how the companions, they understood this issue
of whether Allah kept you or whether Allah
took off his throne.
Abdullah
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is above his throne,
and he knows what you are above.
See how he combined between the 2.
Is it an ordinary person saying this?
Rod is a great companion. Right? And you
know, Abdullah ibn Abdul Jabez said when he
came to the tafsir of the Quran,
he was.
Him and ibn Abbas,
they were higher when it came to other
companions.
And even one time, Abdullah ibn al
There's not a person upon except that I
know where it came down and who it
came down upon.
There is someone
who knows more than me about the Quran
and the right in Kamal can read it,
I would have took my right in Kamal
and I would have come.
This Abdullah was commenting
on this verse.
So he takes precedence over my,
my intellect, or someone else is going to
come and give interpretation of the Quran.
I love it, my brothers and sisters.
So this is how we combine between the
2, and this is our position when it
comes to the Asma, the names and attributes
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that we speak
to the Quran and the Sunnah
Your families go you don't marry off. She's
boasting to the rest of the wife.
Are you with me, brothers and sisters?
So Zayd bin Jahash is saying, Allah called
me Marika from they should say from everywhere.
From me? Focus on this.
Now when Allah is the wajun knows this,
again we have another salaf,
another great companion, a Sahabiya
commenting on this issue. And that's what we
stick to when it comes to all these
aspects. I'm named Anadu Bismillah Alaihi wa jal.
Done. Sheikh, we know that this, the question
about the third issue
That's when it comes to,
kifa stawah.
When he's talking about the kafiyyah.
Okay?
You know Allah subhanahu wa'ala was gonna do
this well? Allah subhanahu
wa'ala that rose up on his throne.
Did he tell us anything else how he
got it?
No.
When Imam Ali
was asked, he was asked the question,
how did he
rise above the throne?
This is what we don't get involved in.
What Allah told us, we stick to it.
Don't ask how,
why
you know, whatever does not happen in.
So, Imam Malik
responded by saying,
when can you fear
to?
Sir. The fact that Baba rose over his
throne is known. How it happened, it is
not known. Because they don't have the Torahs.
And to ask the question of how, it's
an innovation.
Because the companions never asked this question, rather
they used to take it literally.
Be the zen and Arabic, move in.
Allah told them in a, you know, with
a Arabic tongue. He told him like that.
The the prophet told them. Hamas, they took
him like that. This really
no.
