Abu Taymiyyah – Q&A Is Allah Everywhere

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.
