Socrates had said that the true smart person is the person who understands that he can't understand. In other words, just read and understand as written.
Once our beloved Messenger (اّللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ, وَآلِ مُحَمَّد) tested a slave-girl to see whether she was a Muslim or not, and asked her:
أَيْنَ اللهُ؟
♦ "Where is Allah?"
She responded: فِي السَّمَاءِ "Above the heavens." In some narrations, she simply pointed upwards with her forefinger.
He then asked her: "Whom am I?"
She responded: "The prophet of Allah."
So the Prophet said to her master: أعتقها فإنه مؤمنة "Free her, for certainly she is a believer."
@abdelbaasit1 There are people who say it is incorrect to believe this, because Umar (RA) had been there, & he had taken his sword to behead her, the Prophet SAW had stopped him. When I say But he is the Messenger of Allah, he would've corrected anything wrong, they say, no he stopped Umar(RA) from beheading her out of mercy, & this is a companion who knows what he is talking about. They say it is part of a sahih hadith, and i've searched for it, & 'found' it, but dont believe it.
@NoSugar85 Some Muslims are. But I'm not debating. Just explaining. Not "indicting", just inviting. We share cuz we care. I don't wanna scare... just wanna familiarize, not terrorize! :(
May Allah Bless Sheikh feiz Sh Yususf Estes Dr Bilal Philips Sh Yasin and the last brother (who I am not familiar) who has given a beautiful example which no sane person can disagree with.
me and my brother have been getting slightly redfaced about this. I say He Subahano wa Ta3la is on His Throne, but that does not make Him any less here whatsoever. He has Knowledge & Power of the slightest & smallest detail in every place. My brother says that He is beyond comprehension and to say He is on the Throne is to limit Him. All the scholars know He's not in spot- the throne.I tell him that Islam is a religion made to be comprehend by people. He says i am bounding Him like creation.
Allah has no place, and he is not on a throne, its just anology for stupid humans lik me, to understand, if you say Allah is outside of creation, it makes him limited, which is kufr. Your not allowed to imagine where Allah is and not allowed to say, he doesnt have power of his creation.
@TheToilet911 Ur right -Allah is constantly in control of each & every single thing in. ♦ But, Im only saying what that same Allah (High is He) and His last & final Messenger (• Allah's peace/salutations be on him •) stated verbatim, exactly word-for-word, without any other alterations/deletions or re-interpretations ~ their words only, which have been authenticated & which they NEVER said was an "analogy" or "allegorical"; had they said that, I would've unabashedly said similarly
@TheToilet a) I love u 4 Allah's Sake. I don't hate you and do Takfeer (call you a disbeliever) on you and describe you with "filth" and meaningless/nonsensical appellation, this wasn't My Prophet's way, it's not what MY God teaches me in al-Qur'aan al-'Majeed. :) ♦ I dunno about your God... how you choose to speak, u will be accountable.
b) "u say its no analogy" - a) I say Allah is not like His creation in any way (42:11), b) My Prophet didn't say it was allegorical, so I don't
@TheToilet Had Prophet Muhammad (peace of God be on him & his family) EVER in his life, even once, like ur claiming now in the 21st century and some others before you did ... had God's Perfect Rasool, عليه الصلاة والسلام والتحية , ever once in a single report that we have from him (authentically) said, NO, God isn't like this .. God doesn't have this for reall... it's just allegorical, a metaphor, an analogy .. or if God himself said it, I would be the FIRST one to say likewise ☺
@Toilet But they didn't. So again, I say as they said. And just as the vast majority of Scholars of Ahl as-Sunnah, and I say unabashedly and openly and explicitly -as ALL (every single 1) of the Earliest Muslims, from the 1st 3 generations after Prophet Muhammad, said so themselves in the clearest, most unambiguous Arabic words.. was the true Creed about God Almighty. Denial of his likeness to us + Affirmation, without re-interpretation or twisting, Everything He Affirmed 4 Himself
@Toilet "Both of God's Hands are right hands," as our Prophet Muhammad said (وكلتا يديه يمين). ♦ His "Hands" - He used THAT word (يَدَيْن) so we use those words out of respect for GOD's word choice, and that of His Perfect Messenger. ♦ BUT, are those "Hands" like ANY THING WE COULD EVER IMAGINE, or are they like "Human hands" or animal hands? Are they Hands as we know "Hands" in our transient, small, minuscule world?
Never. I say this unabashedly, and to say that He resembles us is disbelief!!
so if this hands are not like hands, why use the word hands ?
i know why, its to make people have little bit of understanding, we cant understand what Allah is, this is why he helps us to understand, in our language.
Allah could given the Quran in english, or in spanish to muhammad, but he wouldnt understand, Allahs mercy is to help his slaves have at least a little bit of understanding
iam clearly against the saying Allah has hands, or any physical attributes, only metaphorical
@Toilet Why? Well, I guess because GOD used those very words in Arabic, and likewise his perfect Prophet. The Quran says, God's words are لسان عربي مبين are in a clear, unambiguous, explicit Arabic tongue. So nothing there is wrong... or incorrect.
If God says, يدين (Hands), I say Hands. But I ALSO affirm ليس كمثله شيء Nothing is like God. Don't say He resembles us, or anything created, because He doesn't. He is God
He described Himself as He chose to, I accept that, and I don't fight that.
@Toilet Im also against saying Allah has ANY PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES.
However, when God says certain words, I'm not gonna be from those people who deny them and say Oh, I'm against this... and this wording is bad .... GOD chose those words to describe Himself in the Perfect Revelation (the Quran) - who are *you* now to come along & say, oh it was a bad choice... these Words are likening Allah to His creation.
Nope. I will forever affirm those words, while DENYING God's likeness to His creation!
@Toiler -- I still say Ur a) not Shaytan, but my fellow brother in faith, a believer God willing, and b) not a Mushrik (pagan), and c) not filthy .nor do I call you with meaningless appellation ... I'm more mature than that, and this is what Religion of Islam taught me (treat people as you would wish for them to treat you - said by Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him & his family!).
And the Prophet said these explicit words I cited in a Sound Hadith collected by Muslim in his 'Saheeh' (no. 4698).
you are all seriously warped and have been manipulated your entire lives to believe in something that has shown NO proof of existing. Your asking the wrong questions, because you have already made your conclusions. You ask questions to come to a conclusion, not the other way around.
@noreason2cry The great Imam of Islam - who has been called: al-Imam al-A'zham (the greatest Imam) - Abu Hanifah (d. 150. A.H.) was once asked about a person who claims that he doesn't know whether the Throne that Allah has risen over is in the skies, or on earth. Abu Hanifah (رحمه الله) replied as follows:
"He is a disbeliever [kaafir], for he has denied that Allah is above the heavens... and because du'aa' (supplication) is said to Him directed UPWARDS, not downwards."
@noreason2cry i guess acording to you because we must look at the floor then allah is on the floor? astaghfirullah. brother use your brain before you say more blasphemy. may allah guide you.
@BeMyBro if thats what i said and not you then what were you implying when you quoted the hadeeth. what is the point you are trying to make by quoting a hadeeth with no relevance to this topic at hand.
@BeMyBro lol no worries i see ther is a bit of a mix up. im with you 100% i was responding to noreason2cry my fault i should of specified to whom i was talking to. subhanullah i didnt even look at the username before i responded. next time ill be sure that im writing to the right person. forgive me brother im still new to youtube.
The Question "where is Allah?" is, besides being a bid'ah, absurd. This is because the question implies a fallacy ( ie: the assumption that Allah is in a place). Place is created. Allah is perfect, Allah existed before creation in his perfect state. to change is a quality of imperfection. Therefore Allah existed without place (He transcends all bounds),to change from that suggests imperfection Therefore Allah is as He always was eternally. And the Quran refers to His Subjection of creation.
The Prophet once tested a slave-girl to see whether she was a Muslim or not, and asked her: "Where is Allah?" She responded: "Above the skies." In some narrations of this hadith, she pointed upwards with her forefinger. He then asked her: "Whom am I?" She said: "Allah's prophet." So the Prophet said: "Free her, for certainly she is a believer."
[This prophetic statemen was reported, with various chains & various wordings, in almost ALL of the major works of Hadith, thus the attempt by certain sects to try to cast doubt on its authenticity are ludicrous. This particular wording is reported in Sahih Muslim.]
** The point of this ^^^ hadith is that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) bore witness that she was a believer, based on her simple testimony that Allah was transcendent above creation and that he was Allah's Messenger.
SUBHANALLAH! Glory be to Allah, how High, Perfect and Exalted is Allah!
This young girl was uneducated, as many are, and she was a slave, but she knew that her Lord is above heaven. Some misguided 'educated' people deny that Allah is above heaven, and say, "He is neither above nor below; neither to the right nor to the left. He is everywhere!"
@Jackspratian it isnt bidahh you are misinformed . the reason why these questions are imposed on muslims is because there answer can take them out of islam. what this brother is doing isnt bidah at all . all the proof is in the quran and sunnah. go to onewaytoparadise that brother does it as well
how is it a bid'a when the prophet (saw) asked it to the slave girl in saheeh muslim and affirmed iman to her because of it! fear Allah with this statement, it is dangerous. But this is typical batil of philosophers who are following Imam aristotle (l.a) butnot Muhammad (saw). We are saying what Allah said about himself.
Once our beloved Messenger (اّللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ, وَآلِ مُحَمَّد) tested a slave-girl to see whether she was a Muslim or not, and asked her:
أَيْنَ اللهُ؟
♦ "Where is Allah?"
She responded: فِي السَّمَاءِ "Above the heavens." In some narrations, she simply pointed upwards with her forefinger.
He then asked her: "Whom am I?"
She responded: "The prophet of Allah."
So the Prophet said to her master: أعتقها فإنه مؤمنة "Free her, for certainly she is a believer."
Messenger & Prophet are often used in the Book of God & the Prophetic Tradition, interchangeably, and sometimes they carry minor differences which make each of them unique, but never anything very major ☺
@Jack a) How is it a BID'AH when God's Prophet, the most perfect of God's creation (Allah's salutations and peace and honor be on him & his pure family), said those very words but in the Arabic Language 1400 + years ago? أين الله has been authenticated by the greatest of All Scholars of Hadith this Ummah has ever seen & the attempts to deny that r laughable!
b) UR the One makin the assumption that God is in a place! We don't say that. Don't assume. We say - only - what God said.
But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour. (55:27)
Allah has hands: (Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?" (38:75)
Allah has a foot:
Hell will keep saying, Are there more? Until the Lord of Glory will put his Foot on it
So you say its no analogy and Allah has human attributes.???
@noreason2cry That is because one must be humble with Allah and look at the ground in khusho'o. Otherwise what you are implying is that where ever one looks is the direction of Allah which means Allah is in the ground or in the Ka'ba. Nonsense.
I am paying attention to the video. They say his knowledge is everywhere, i.e. he knows everything everywhere all the time, but my question really is not if such a God exists, but how do we know the name of this God to be 'Allah'. How do we know that it is not Ya Howa (God of the Jews) or Amun (god of the Ancient Egyptians).
If Allah is above his creation, separated from us and there is no way to understand his being, how do we know he even exists?
When Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal was asked is: "Allah on the throne on the seven heavens, separate from His creation, and His power and His knowledge encompasses all things everywhere?", He replied:
"Of course, he is on the throne, and nothing escapes His knowledge."
"My faith is the same as the faith of Muslims before me, that is the creed: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is his prophet, that Allah is above the throne of the heavens. He descends to the lowest heaven whenever he wants. '"
Someone who said something like that, is a murtadd (an apostate from Islam), because Allah (t) says: 'The Merciful has ascended the throne.', And the throne of Allah is above His heavens. "Next, I asked Abu Hanifah: "What if the person agrees that Allah replied to the throne, but at the same time asserted," I do not know if the throne is above the heavens or on earth. "?" Abu Hanifah, 'If he denies, that the throne is above the heavens, he is a Murtad '. "
Ghiba is what takes place when he says something true about someone, and they don't like it. Nameemah is a lie, and thus slander. Both are private.
The evidence is from your mouth and belief, as you deny what Allaah has affirmed for himself. With that being said, I advise you to stick to the narrations and sayings of the Salaf us Saalih, and not fall for this lie of Allaah being "everywhere".
I don't want to make takfeer on you, and I didn't even call you kaafir, I am not a takfeeri. I am saying your beliefs aren't sunni. That is not equivalent ot kaafir.You need to read what I am writing.
As for slander, I am getting my definition of slander from the Sharee'ah, not from Websters dictionary. And The word Nameemah (Slander) in the Sharee'ah usually refers to the act of carrying tales from one person to another.
Excuse me? Slander is lying about someone in private, a form of backbiting, how am I doing that? SubhanaAllaah.
The idea is trying to make you understand what you are saying is baatil, how is that HATRED?
I am talking to you about a clear thing you just said and apparently believe, and I am telling you to leave it and adopt the belief of ahlus sunnah wal jamaa'ah. And you say this makes me full of hate? La hawla wa laa quwaata illa billah.
For me the hardest thing is to convince by grandpa now since he strongly believe "Allaah is everywhere." When I argued with him in this regard he said me to leave this issue coz' I have no knowledge of it. I asked him to give me an evidence from Qur'aan to support his statement "Allaah is everywhere" and he read ("And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein"-50:16). I said this could mean His Knowledge, His Power etc also, not explicitly mean "Everywhere" but he denied. May Allaah guide us!
Not long before, unfortunately I too believed "Allaah is everywhere" coz' that's what we were taught but now Alhamdulillaah I've changed my mind since you can't deny the explicit evidences in Qur'aan as showed in this vid and implicit too like, "And when Allaah said: O Iesa! I will take you and raise you to Myself" (3:55) or
"To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds lift them" (35:10)
Now clearly what is below is raised or ascends, right?
SubhanaAllaah it is astounding how people will so boldly go against the clear proof, all because the idea of "Allaah exists without a place" is so appealing to them. Allaah guide those who say this. Ameen
You can call yourself sunni, however it is merely a claim, as Allaah 'aza wa jall himself has affirmed for himself that he is above the heavens upon his throne, who are you to say otherwise? This is contrary to the Sunnah.
this is why jannah is described in the kitab al allah as under the throne of allah? and various hadiths also mention this in the story of the slave girl who was asked to come in front of the messenger of allah SAW and asked where is your lord? she replied fisama! above the heavens? narrow minded people need to read a book instead of believing the lies of your fake shieks and imams
to say that allah is in the heavens is a absolute mockery of alla SWT!
lets start with the highest hevean! Firdous, now in firdous we now that the prophet muhammed saw is there along with the mujahids, now to say that allah is in the heavens you would have to say he is in the highest? so then you are saying that he is on the same level or same playing fields as a man? as the prophet muhammed SAW so what you saying is that non has the right of worship but allah but also with muhammed saw?
@nadialejandra - Allah will punish those who deny what Allah has clearly stated (and sister abuhamzaandco above has provided some proofs). it is those who play word games and ascribe their own meanings to that will be in trouble. just describe Allah has He has described Himself, and you will be safe on al-Qiyamah. i'm not sure why u are mixing completely different things...but saying Allah is everywhere is shirk and the end of that is hellfire. so *nothing* is more important.
"Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted is rising, every night when they reached the final third, to the lowest heaven and asks," Who is calling me, so I hear it? Anyone who asks me, so I give him? Who asked forgiveness from me, so I forgive him? "" (Al-Bukhari, Muslim)
i translated it with google it there can be mistakes but you will understand.
@nadialejandra - obedience to Allah requires us to worship Allah without partners or associates (whereas saying Allah is here or there in the created world setups a plethora of partners/associates). obedience to Allah requires us to describe Allah describes Himself. from al-Quran and al-Sunnah...we have clear evidence that *nothing* is like Allah (the most unique) and He is transcendent over His throne above jannah. we will be held accountable for teaching other Muslims the *basics* of our deen.
@nadialejandra - to say that Allah is without a place is to say that Allah is nowhere. it is our duty to know our faith and understand tawhid - that comes first and foremost. if we don't, then the kuffar will benefit even more! like the example of Divine law. those who say we shouldn't worry about it and that the kuffar will take advantage of us...fail to realize that it is precisely by negating Allah's attributes (like Law-Giver) that enables zion and others to infiltrate and divide the Ummah!
@nadialejandra - if Allah wants He can create another LLaah (and thus, no longer be Allah). so that point is moot. Allah is separate from and transcendent over His creation. mixing the Creator with the creation is to follow in the path of the christians, hindus, some buddhists, and so forth - i.e. into polytheism. belief that Allah is "in" something in the created world (whatever it is) leads directly to worship of that something (thus, setting up partners and associates with Allah)...or shirk.
He is IN Heaven? So where was he before Heaven was created? So he was in a different place before that? That means he moves? That means he is LIMITED, which is shirk.
There is only a handful (about 20) scholars in history who believe Allah exists in a PLACE, including Ibn Taymiyya. That is why today there are still people who say such scary things about Allah(swt).
Allah(swt) existed before He created the concept of PLACE, or before he created the 6 directions (up, down, etc.).
@wais910 - 1 - He is above the heavens and the earth. transcendent over all that is, was, or ever will be. but to say that Allah cannot do something (be it move or reveal Himself to the creation...that is also a limitation and thus, shirk). that is why there is no contradiction between saying that Allah is transcendent over the heavens, yet, He can and will reveal His face to us in jannah (the greatest joy of paradise). think of the question about whether or not God can create another god?
the directions (of above) can not contain Him. Allah(swt) exists without a place, He existed before he created the directions. He is ABOVE ALL in his power and control and omnipotence, NOT in direction. And ANYTHING in the Quran that apparently shows Allah(swt) in a direction, is taken metaphorically.
For example, he does NOT have hands. In the Quran it says: "Everything will be destroyed, except his Face." His hands will be destroyed!? A part of Allah(swt) will be destroyed?
@wais910 - 1 - to answer your question first, the explanation of that ayah is found in another ayah - Quran 55:26-27 where Allah says "Whatsoever is on it will perish. And the Face of your Lord full of majesty and honor will remain forever". all Allah is saying in the ayah u provided is that everything in the created world will be destroyed. He will remain (Allah refers to Himself through one of His attributes...just as sometimes Allah refers to Himself as "we" in other parts of the Quran).
@wais910 - 2 - other attributes (Allah's hands, love, wrath, justice, and so forth) are still a part of Allah. they were not a part of the created world to being with...so how can they be destroyed amongst the dunyah (as u are asking)?? this ayah is talking about everything in this "created world" - otherwise there would not even be an afterlife or a paradise (something that will go on for eternity by Allah's will). u have to be very careful in how u read and interpret the Quran.
@wais910 - 3 - the easy way out is to just to make everything metaphorical (as opposed to only the things we are told are metaphorical by the Prophet saaws and the generation that was with the Prophet saaws and witnessed the story of Islam and the revelations of various ayah to Muhammad saaws). to continue on with the earlier issue of Allah's face...remember that Allah does not speak in riddles nor does He (s.w.t) play word games. take what He says *directly* and leave it at that.
@wais910 - 4 - we don't have to believe that the face of Allah is like any type of face in the creation in order to believe that the face of Allah is an attribute which can literally be seen in jannah. think about the will of Allah. when we see some major world event that changes history in this life...we say that it is the will of Allah right? so we have seen and witnessed an actual attribute of Allah correct? that doesn't mean we have placed a limitation on Allah's will itself.
@wais910 - 5 - the attribute (of Allah's will) is unlike your will or my will or the will of any type of creation. likewise, seeing the face of Allah in paradise is to witness an attribute of the Creator (by His permission)...an attribute unlike anything in the creation. those attributes are not a limitation of any kind (since such attributes are outside the realm of time and space and beyond our comprehension)!
@wais910 - 6 - our very existence creation as well as the reward of jannah is a mercy from Allah to us right? but are we saying in this that Allah's mercy is like your mercy or mine or of similitude to the attribute of mercy found in any created being?? again, things that are beyond our intellect are exactly the type of things we should stay away from in terms of concentrating too much or thinking too deeply about them...
@wais910 - 7 - can lead to a very dangerous situation where we eventually change the religion and fall into sectarianism (as the shia and their metaphorical interpretations are an example of). yes, the magnificence of the heavens will be a great joy to behold in eternal paradise (which is not bound by space or time). yet, why would (with Allah's permission of course) we not be able see and meet Allah there ( in some capacity) if He wills?
@wais910 - 8 - there is a fourth and a fifth dimension right (and perhaps dimensions beyond that)? if Allah wills for a thing to be, then it is. who knows what will be possible in the afterlife (by Allah's permission and under His supreme authority and power). to say that Allah cannot will for His creation to meet him (in some shape or form) in the afterlife...that is itself a limitation!! and as the heroic brother bemybro pointed out...
@wais910 - 9 - it is a type of kufr (but not necessarily shirk). we have been given a great gift to know (to whatever our limited minds can understand) - the names and attributes of Allah. don't limit or change or deny these (and fall into kufr as well as in some cases, shirk). remember - Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him too, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him"
@wais910 - 2 - to say yes would open the door to shirk. but to say no would place a limitation on Allah as well! the answer is that God can do anything and everything He wants...but would *never* will to do anything that would take away from His power and authority (like creating another divine being). but, as a reward for the dwellers of the seven heavens...allowing us the gift to see some part of the essence of Allah does not take away from His power or authority nor does He limit Himself.
When you limit Allah(swt) it is Shirk, because you are giving the creations qualities to Allah(swt). Shirk in the Tawheed of Allah's Asmaa' wa Sifaat.
Brother, are you serious, you are giving Allah(swt) a PLACE, you are giving Him a DIRECTION. This is LIMITING Him. Allah(swt) exists WITHOUT a place. The 6 directions can NOT contain Him.
The 4 Imams did not believe this. Today's 'salafis' are not being honest with their words
@wais910 Salam 1. im not brother im a sister. 2. i dont limit Allah, nobody can limit Allah. 3. Allah gives himself a place/direction in Koran and hadith.
That Allah is above the heaven dont mean that he cant hear and see you. All starters of the 4 big madhebs believe this i can prove it.
Had Allaah been everywhere, why did the Prophet (sallaAllaahu alayhi wa Salaam) have to be taken all the way up to the seventh heaven on Al Mi'raj?
And no, there is no where near just a handful affirming this. In fact, this is the standpoint of ahlus sunnah wal jamaa'ah, even the 4 renowned imaams say this.
But I notice you are raafidhi, so perhaps this is of little importance to you.
@wais910 Look, if Allah s.w.t. says himself in his book the Koran with his own words that he is above the heavens than he is there. Do you want to know it better than Allah where Allah is, or what?
@beydounislam - there is no such thing as a wahabi. this term was used by the british and others to spread fitnah and divide the Ummah. and "wahhab" is one of the special names of Allah. salafis don't believe in playing word games with the Quran. if Allah says that He (swt) has a hand, then we simply say that this is one of Allah's attributes - but it is unlike any "hand" in the created world. simple. anthropomorphism is to say that an attribute of Allah is "like" something in the created world.
@bullet1bill9 but why are you denying what he said.He clearly states that allah has body parts how can you denie what he had said.And why are there wahabi sheikhs if its a conspirecy and wahabi was founded over 200 years ago its a new sect attached to ahlus sunnah dont deny what feiz said
@beydounislam - does shaykh feiz call himself a wahhabi? one has to research the history european colonialism and its conspiracies (which were different in different parts of the Islamic world) before rushing to any judgment. secondly, whatever Allah says is an attribute of His according to Quran...we accept that but say it is an attribute unlike anything in the creation (and then stop wasting time trying to think deeper about that which is beyond our thinking capacity to begin with).
Imam Abu Hanifah, the Faqih of as-Salaf, said in his book Al-Fiqh al Absat: "Allah existed eternally and there was no place. He existed before creating the creation. He existed, and there was no place, creation, or thing; and He is the Creator of everything."
Abu Hanifa said: " If he denies that He is in the Heavens then he became Kafir because the Exalted is he is Above Illyeen and nad that He is called from Highness not from lowness."
(AlFiqh Al-Kabeer -Al-Qaeda Al-marakishya -Al-Ulu for Al-Thahabi-Ejtima aljeyoosh alislamya)
A place constitutes as part of creation so o say Allah is subject and bound to a particular place (be it beyond the heavens) is still limiting. The best way is to accept what the Qur'an says without delving into interpretations. That does NOT mean we take it literally either because if we cannot comprehend then how can we take things to be literal.... we simply accept with our limited knowledge.
Imam Abu Hanifa was part of the Salaf and I accept what he said obviously
MashAllah just yesterday I was thinking that why brother SFA and Bemybro are not uploading videos..and now today, mashAllah both the brothers uploaded their videos :)
Thats a weak athar with a fabricated ending that you claimed as evidence which you obviously hold in higher regard than the Quran and Sunnah.
If I asked you to bring me this Ejma you claim of scholars of Islam you wont be able to nor will you be able to bring me the sanad of the athar you mentioned.
This verse from the Quran is enough as a proof
Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
2 extremes arose in the Muslim Ummah -- on one end of the spectrum, some Muslims deviated into thinking that Allah is literally everywhere, in every place (e.g. Ibn 'Arabi the heretic, Al-Hallaaj, etc). * And the other extreme, is to assume that Allah is (in fact) No Where. No place. No where. + We agree (you & us) that Allah is not IN THIS WORLD, He is not in our realm.
But this extreme... to say Allah is not even OUTSIDE of our universe; essential, He's no where is a heresy!
The balance is in the middle of these extremes: (a) Allah doesnt indwell in His creation, or in a physical worldly location. (b)But at same time, we dont go as far as saying Allah is NOWHERE; He's not in any existing place. Essentially your saying that Allah is not in existence!
The proper creed held by All 4 Imams, & the early pious forefathers was: Allah is Beyond this universe, ABOVE the 7 heavens, Above His Throne (in a way suitable for His Majesty which we cant comprehend the reality of)
@xMudinhox ALLAH SAID:[They all revere their Lord, high above them, and they do all that they are commanded. (16-50) ]
[Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to Allah. Unto Him good words ascend, and the pious deed doth He exalt;....(35-10)]
[Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allâh), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning. (67-17) ]
Among those who documented the scholarly consensus that Allah is not confined in a place was the noble Imam ^Abdul-Qahir ibn Tahir al-Baghdadiyy -- known as Abu Mansur al-Baghdadiyy who died in the hijri year 429 which means one thousand years ago. In his book 'alFarqu bayna lFiraq' --published by Darul-Ma^rifah, the Third Edition- on page 292 Imam Abu Mansur said what means: "..and the noble Islamic scholars unanimously agreed that no place confines Allah, nor is He subjected to time;
jazakAllah khair bro. the asharis have been very active online recently spreading their fitna and insulting the salafis with names such as 'mujassim' and 'ghair muqalid' and other non-sense.
i think the reason why the ashari fitna is spreading is because of ignorance in aqeedah and blind attachment to personalities (their friends online.)
it's funny because a lot of these ppl hate salafis yet don't even know what the aqeedah of athariyya is about. lol.

Once our beloved Messenger (اّللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ, وَآلِ مُحَمَّد) tested a slave-girl to see whether she was a Muslim or not, and asked her:
أَيْنَ اللهُ؟
♦ "Where is Allah?"
She responded: فِي السَّمَاءِ "Above the heavens." In some narrations, she simply pointed upwards with her forefinger.
He then asked her: "Whom am I?"
She responded: "The prophet of Allah."
So the Prophet said to her master: أعتقها فإنه مؤمنة "Free her, for certainly she is a believer."

@abdelbaasit1 There are people who say it is incorrect to believe this, because Umar (RA) had been there, & he had taken his sword to behead her, the Prophet SAW had stopped him. When I say But he is the Messenger of Allah, he would've corrected anything wrong, they say, no he stopped Umar(RA) from beheading her out of mercy, & this is a companion who knows what he is talking about. They say it is part of a sahih hadith, and i've searched for it, & 'found' it, but dont believe it.

He has Knowledge & Power of the slightest & smallest detail in every place. My brother says that He is beyond comprehension and to say He is on the Throne is to limit Him.

@Toilet "Both of God's Hands are right hands," as our Prophet Muhammad said (وكلتا يديه يمين). ♦ His "Hands" - He used THAT word (يَدَيْن) so we use those words out of respect for GOD's word choice, and that of His Perfect Messenger. ♦ BUT, are those "Hands" like ANY THING WE COULD EVER IMAGINE, or are they like "Human hands" or animal hands? Are they Hands as we know "Hands" in our transient, small, minuscule world?
Never. I say this unabashedly, and to say that He resembles us is disbelief!!

so if this hands are not like hands, why use the word hands ?
i know why, its to make people have little bit of understanding, we cant understand what Allah is, this is why he helps us to understand, in our language.
Allah could given the Quran in english, or in spanish to muhammad, but he wouldnt understand, Allahs mercy is to help his slaves have at least a little bit of understanding
iam clearly against the saying Allah has hands, or any physical attributes, only metaphorical
TheToilet911 1 month ago
@Toilet Why? Well, I guess because GOD used those very words in Arabic, and likewise his perfect Prophet. The Quran says, God's words are لسان عربي مبين are in a clear, unambiguous, explicit Arabic tongue. So nothing there is wrong... or incorrect.
If God says, يدين (Hands), I say Hands. But I ALSO affirm ليس كمثله شيء Nothing is like God. Don't say He resembles us, or anything created, because He doesn't. He is God
He described Himself as He chose to, I accept that, and I don't fight that.

The Question "where is Allah?" is, besides being a bid'ah, absurd. This is because the question implies a fallacy ( ie: the assumption that Allah is in a place). Place is created. Allah is perfect, Allah existed before creation in his perfect state. to change is a quality of imperfection. Therefore Allah existed without place (He transcends all bounds),to change from that suggests imperfection Therefore Allah is as He always was eternally. And the Quran refers to His Subjection of creation.

If Allah is above his creation, separated from us and there is no way to understand his being, how do we know he even exists?

@nadialejandra - obedience to Allah requires us to worship Allah without partners or associates (whereas saying Allah is here or there in the created world setups a plethora of partners/associates). obedience to Allah requires us to describe Allah describes Himself. from al-Quran and al-Sunnah...we have clear evidence that *nothing* is like Allah (the most unique) and He is transcendent over His throne above jannah. we will be held accountable for teaching other Muslims the *basics* of our deen.
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@nadialejandra - to say that Allah is without a place is to say that Allah is nowhere. it is our duty to know our faith and understand tawhid - that comes first and foremost. if we don't, then the kuffar will benefit even more! like the example of Divine law. those who say we shouldn't worry about it and that the kuffar will take advantage of us...fail to realize that it is precisely by negating Allah's attributes (like Law-Giver) that enables zion and others to infiltrate and divide the Ummah!
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@nadialejandra - if Allah wants He can create another LLaah (and thus, no longer be Allah). so that point is moot. Allah is separate from and transcendent over His creation. mixing the Creator with the creation is to follow in the path of the christians, hindus, some buddhists, and so forth - i.e. into polytheism. belief that Allah is "in" something in the created world (whatever it is) leads directly to worship of that something (thus, setting up partners and associates with Allah)...or shirk.

He is IN Heaven? So where was he before Heaven was created? So he was in a different place before that? That means he moves? That means he is LIMITED, which is shirk.
There is only a handful (about 20) scholars in history who believe Allah exists in a PLACE, including Ibn Taymiyya. That is why today there are still people who say such scary things about Allah(swt).
Allah(swt) existed before He created the concept of PLACE, or before he created the 6 directions (up, down, etc.).
wais910 1 year ago
@wais910 - 1 - He is above the heavens and the earth. transcendent over all that is, was, or ever will be. but to say that Allah cannot do something (be it move or reveal Himself to the creation...that is also a limitation and thus, shirk). that is why there is no contradiction between saying that Allah is transcendent over the heavens, yet, He can and will reveal His face to us in jannah (the greatest joy of paradise). think of the question about whether or not God can create another god?
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@bullet1bill9
the directions (of above) can not contain Him. Allah(swt) exists without a place, He existed before he created the directions. He is ABOVE ALL in his power and control and omnipotence, NOT in direction. And ANYTHING in the Quran that apparently shows Allah(swt) in a direction, is taken metaphorically.
For example, he does NOT have hands. In the Quran it says: "Everything will be destroyed, except his Face." His hands will be destroyed!? A part of Allah(swt) will be destroyed?
wais910 1 year ago
@wais910 - 1 - to answer your question first, the explanation of that ayah is found in another ayah - Quran 55:26-27 where Allah says "Whatsoever is on it will perish. And the Face of your Lord full of majesty and honor will remain forever". all Allah is saying in the ayah u provided is that everything in the created world will be destroyed. He will remain (Allah refers to Himself through one of His attributes...just as sometimes Allah refers to Himself as "we" in other parts of the Quran).
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@wais910 - 2 - other attributes (Allah's hands, love, wrath, justice, and so forth) are still a part of Allah. they were not a part of the created world to being with...so how can they be destroyed amongst the dunyah (as u are asking)?? this ayah is talking about everything in this "created world" - otherwise there would not even be an afterlife or a paradise (something that will go on for eternity by Allah's will). u have to be very careful in how u read and interpret the Quran.
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@wais910 - 3 - the easy way out is to just to make everything metaphorical (as opposed to only the things we are told are metaphorical by the Prophet saaws and the generation that was with the Prophet saaws and witnessed the story of Islam and the revelations of various ayah to Muhammad saaws). to continue on with the earlier issue of Allah's face...remember that Allah does not speak in riddles nor does He (s.w.t) play word games. take what He says *directly* and leave it at that.
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@wais910 - 4 - we don't have to believe that the face of Allah is like any type of face in the creation in order to believe that the face of Allah is an attribute which can literally be seen in jannah. think about the will of Allah. when we see some major world event that changes history in this life...we say that it is the will of Allah right? so we have seen and witnessed an actual attribute of Allah correct? that doesn't mean we have placed a limitation on Allah's will itself.

@wais910 - 5 - the attribute (of Allah's will) is unlike your will or my will or the will of any type of creation. likewise, seeing the face of Allah in paradise is to witness an attribute of the Creator (by His permission)...an attribute unlike anything in the creation. those attributes are not a limitation of any kind (since such attributes are outside the realm of time and space and beyond our comprehension)!

@wais910 - 6 - our very existence creation as well as the reward of jannah is a mercy from Allah to us right? but are we saying in this that Allah's mercy is like your mercy or mine or of similitude to the attribute of mercy found in any created being?? again, things that are beyond our intellect are exactly the type of things we should stay away from in terms of concentrating too much or thinking too deeply about them...

@wais910 - 7 - can lead to a very dangerous situation where we eventually change the religion and fall into sectarianism (as the shia and their metaphorical interpretations are an example of). yes, the magnificence of the heavens will be a great joy to behold in eternal paradise (which is not bound by space or time). yet, why would (with Allah's permission of course) we not be able see and meet Allah there ( in some capacity) if He wills?

@wais910 - 8 - there is a fourth and a fifth dimension right (and perhaps dimensions beyond that)? if Allah wills for a thing to be, then it is. who knows what will be possible in the afterlife (by Allah's permission and under His supreme authority and power). to say that Allah cannot will for His creation to meet him (in some shape or form) in the afterlife...that is itself a limitation!! and as the heroic brother bemybro pointed out...

@wais910 - 9 - it is a type of kufr (but not necessarily shirk). we have been given a great gift to know (to whatever our limited minds can understand) - the names and attributes of Allah. don't limit or change or deny these (and fall into kufr as well as in some cases, shirk). remember - Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him too, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him"
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@wais910 - 2 - to say yes would open the door to shirk. but to say no would place a limitation on Allah as well! the answer is that God can do anything and everything He wants...but would *never* will to do anything that would take away from His power and authority (like creating another divine being). but, as a reward for the dwellers of the seven heavens...allowing us the gift to see some part of the essence of Allah does not take away from His power or authority nor does He limit Himself.

When you limit Allah(swt) it is Shirk, because you are giving the creations qualities to Allah(swt). Shirk in the Tawheed of Allah's Asmaa' wa Sifaat.

Brother, are you serious, you are giving Allah(swt) a PLACE, you are giving Him a DIRECTION. This is LIMITING Him. Allah(swt) exists WITHOUT a place. The 6 directions can NOT contain Him.
The 4 Imams did not believe this. Today's 'salafis' are not being honest with their words

Had Allaah been everywhere, why did the Prophet (sallaAllaahu alayhi wa Salaam) have to be taken all the way up to the seventh heaven on Al Mi'raj?
And no, there is no where near just a handful affirming this. In fact, this is the standpoint of ahlus sunnah wal jamaa'ah, even the 4 renowned imaams say this.
But I notice you are raafidhi, so perhaps this is of little importance to you.

@BosnianSunni Ok first are you a wahabi? and secondly how can you say that yous dont when he just said that alh has body parts
beydounislam 1 year ago
@beydounislam - there is no such thing as a wahabi. this term was used by the british and others to spread fitnah and divide the Ummah. and "wahhab" is one of the special names of Allah. salafis don't believe in playing word games with the Quran. if Allah says that He (swt) has a hand, then we simply say that this is one of Allah's attributes - but it is unlike any "hand" in the created world. simple. anthropomorphism is to say that an attribute of Allah is "like" something in the created world.
bullet1bill9 1 year ago
@bullet1bill9 but why are you denying what he said.He clearly states that allah has body parts how can you denie what he had said.And why are there wahabi sheikhs if its a conspirecy and wahabi was founded over 200 years ago its a new sect attached to ahlus sunnah dont deny what feiz said
beydounislam 1 year ago
@beydounislam - does shaykh feiz call himself a wahhabi? one has to research the history european colonialism and its conspiracies (which were different in different parts of the Islamic world) before rushing to any judgment. secondly, whatever Allah says is an attribute of His according to Quran...we accept that but say it is an attribute unlike anything in the creation (and then stop wasting time trying to think deeper about that which is beyond our thinking capacity to begin with).

@BeMyBro
A place constitutes as part of creation so o say Allah is subject and bound to a particular place (be it beyond the heavens) is still limiting. The best way is to accept what the Qur'an says without delving into interpretations. That does NOT mean we take it literally either because if we cannot comprehend then how can we take things to be literal.... we simply accept with our limited knowledge.
Imam Abu Hanifa was part of the Salaf and I accept what he said obviously

Thats a weak athar with a fabricated ending that you claimed as evidence which you obviously hold in higher regard than the Quran and Sunnah.
If I asked you to bring me this Ejma you claim of scholars of Islam you wont be able to nor will you be able to bring me the sanad of the athar you mentioned.
This verse from the Quran is enough as a proof
Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?

No the established belief by most Muslim scholars for over a thousand years is that Allah has no place.
MrGrandDragon 1 year ago
2 extremes arose in the Muslim Ummah -- on one end of the spectrum, some Muslims deviated into thinking that Allah is literally everywhere, in every place (e.g. Ibn 'Arabi the heretic, Al-Hallaaj, etc). * And the other extreme, is to assume that Allah is (in fact) No Where. No place. No where. + We agree (you & us) that Allah is not IN THIS WORLD, He is not in our realm.
But this extreme... to say Allah is not even OUTSIDE of our universe; essential, He's no where is a heresy!
abdelbaasit1 1 year ago
The balance is in the middle of these extremes: (a) Allah doesnt indwell in His creation, or in a physical worldly location. (b)But at same time, we dont go as far as saying Allah is NOWHERE; He's not in any existing place. Essentially your saying that Allah is not in existence!
The proper creed held by All 4 Imams, & the early pious forefathers was: Allah is Beyond this universe, ABOVE the 7 heavens, Above His Throne (in a way suitable for His Majesty which we cant comprehend the reality of)

Among those who documented the scholarly consensus that Allah is not confined in a place was the noble Imam ^Abdul-Qahir ibn Tahir al-Baghdadiyy -- known as Abu Mansur al-Baghdadiyy who died in the hijri year 429 which means one thousand years ago. In his book 'alFarqu bayna lFiraq' --published by Darul-Ma^rifah, the Third Edition- on page 292 Imam Abu Mansur said what means: "..and the noble Islamic scholars unanimously agreed that no place confines Allah, nor is He subjected to time;

jazakAllah khair bro. the asharis have been very active online recently spreading their fitna and insulting the salafis with names such as 'mujassim' and 'ghair muqalid' and other non-sense.
i think the reason why the ashari fitna is spreading is because of ignorance in aqeedah and blind attachment to personalities (their friends online.)
it's funny because a lot of these ppl hate salafis yet don't even know what the aqeedah of athariyya is about. lol.
