 <h3>
 
 Where is Allah?
 
 </h3>
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="who-allah"></a>
 Who is Allaah?
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Allaah is the proper name applied to the true God who exists necessarily by Himself comprising all the
 excellent Divine names and attributes of perfection. Allaah is One and Unique. He has no son, no partner,
 nor equal. He is the sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Every creature bears witness to His
 Oneness, Divinity, and Ruboobiyyah<a href="#1">[1]</a>, and to the uniqueness of His attributes and names.
 
 
 His essence does not resemble the essences. He does not inhere in anything, nor does anything inhere in
 Him. "There is none like unto Him." He is the One, the Sole, the Indivisible. He is the Rubb<a href="#2">[2]</a> who
 accomplishes all affairs, Allah is the Omnipotent and the Omniscient.
 
 
 His knowledge comprehends in perfect manner all things, hidden or manifest. He is greater than can be
 encompassed by the knowledge of His creatures. He knows everything, and He is aware of all that takes
 place in the earth and the heavens. Allah, the Supreme, is the Rubb of everything and has a free hand in
 disposal of all affairs.
 
 
 His mercy encompasses everything. He is far removed from injustice or tyranny. He is wise in all His
 actions, just in all His decrees. His justice ensures order in the universe in which nothing is out of order.
 
 
 There is no one to share His dominion, nor does He take an aide or supporter from His creatures. He is
 nearer to man than man's own jugular vein<a href="#3">[3]</a>. Whenever a believer is in need or distress calls on Him, He
 responds.
 
 
 Allah has revealed His final Scripture, the Qur'aan, to that last of His Messengers, Muhammad (sallallaahu
 `alayhi wasallam) who was responsible for conveying the Message of Islam to mankind. He is the Exalted
 Allaah. Glory is due to Him.

 <h4>
 
 <a id="where-allah"></a>
 Where is Allaah?
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Allah, the Exalted, has described Himself in His Book, and by the tongue of His Messenger (sallallaahu
 `alayhi wasallam) as Sublime, Supreme, and Lofty. The Qur'aan is full of proofs relevant to the Loftiness of
 Allaah.
 
 
 Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah believe in and confirm all of the attributes of Allaah without distorting their
 meaning, and that Allaah is above His seven heavens, above His 'Arsh, and separated from His creatures,
 and His creatures are separated from Him.
 
 
 This discourse will provide the Scriptural proofs of the Loftiness of Allaah is an indivisible part of the
 inherent faculty of knowing Allaah with which Allaah has created mankind. Although the aqeedah of
 Loftiness of Allaah is part of man's innate knowledge and cannot be subjected to hypothetical of
 philosophical argumentation, there are some deviated sects who follow their whims and deny this
 intuitive and self-evident fact. For this reason, they have twisted Scriptural proofs and distorted them, and
 manipulated the texts to conform with their deviant argument.
 
 
 All of the divine attributes are intrinsically related to the attribute of divine Loftiness. Therefore, accepting
 or rejecting them must be based on accepting or rejecting the Loftiness of Allaah. Whoever believes that
 Allaah is above His 'Arsh<a href="#4">[4]</a> and separated from His creatures, also believes in the rest of the attributes of
 Allaah, and believes as well that the heaves and the earth submit to His will, and that He is the Great Rubb
 of the worlds. Allaah does whatever He wills and rules according to His Own wishes. Glory be to Him.
 
 
 Denial of the divine Loftiness is one of the basic doctrinal heresy promoted by the Jahmites<a href="#5">[5]</a> and their
 off-shoots of today in order to confuse the Muslims' minds. Denying this divine attribute also leads by
 necessity to the denial of the attribute of the istiwaa of Allaah above His Arsh. There is no doubt that the
 denial of the attributes of Allaah clashes with the clear Qur'anic verses in which the unique essential
 attributes and beautiful names of Allaah confirmed. These attributes must be affirmed as identical with
 Allaah.
 
 
 The essential divine attributes of Allaah constitute an integral part of His essence and are not superadded
 to it. They are accepted literally by Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah without questioning the 'how' of these
 attributes. To deny them is clear unbelief and heresy.
 
 
 It is for this reason this discourse has been prepared to deal with the creed of Loftiness of Allaah, or the
 question, 'Where is Allaah?' with the Scriptural evidences from the Qur'an and the authentic prophetic
 traditions, as well as the traditions of those early Muslims, the pious predecessors.
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="quran-proofs"></a>
 The Qur'anic Proofs
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Allaah, the Exalted, commands the believers to refer their disputes and differences to His Book and the
 Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) saying:
 <blockquote>
 "And when you differ in anything among
 yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and the Last Day." <a href="#6">[6]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Therefore, the words of Allaah, the Exalted, as well as the words of His Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi
 wasallam) must be held as the ultimate and decisive judgment. No judgment or decision should take
 precedence over theirs whether in issues related to the divine attributes, or any other religious issue.
 
 
 By their emphasis on reason in establishing religious truth, the rationalists, the modernists, and the
 Jahmites assert the preeminence of reason over the divine revelations. Whereas the Loftiness of Allaah
 which is clearly enunciated in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah, is beyond the reach of reason.
 
 
 The true believers, contrary to the rationalists, believe that the 'Arsh of Allaah is above the seven heavens.
 They also believe that having created the seven heavens and the earth and what is in them, Allaah, the
 Exalted, has mounted His great 'Arsh. Allaah says:
 <blockquote>
 "Declare your Rubb, the Supreme, to be far removed
 from every imperfection or impurity." <a href="#7">[7]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The "Supreme", linguistically, is in the superlative signifying that Allaah is higher than everything and is
 above all things in essence, power, and invincibility. Commenting on this verse, Ibn-ul-Qayyim, may Allaah
 grant him His mercy, said:
 <blockquote>
 All Muslims in the past and in the present, when supplicating Allaah or imploring His help, they always
 raise their hands with palms towards the heaven. They do not lower their hands with palms towards the
 earth, nor do they turn them right or left, nor towards any other direction. They raise their hands up,
 knowing that Allaah is above them. The Muslims also say in prayer while prostrating, "I declare my Rubb,
 the Supreme, to be far removed from every imperfection or impurity." <a href="#8">[8]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 If Allaah is everywhere, as the deviated sects allege, why then the above verse does not read, 'Declare your
 Rubb, (around you), (below you), or (everywhere)?' Allah says:
 <blockquote>
 "They fear their Rubb above them." <a href="#9">[9]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 This verse refers to the angels who are above us, and above them is our Rubb, the Blessed, the Exalted.
 Lest anyone be confused, Allaah confirms in this verse that He is above the angels who are the residents of
 the heavens:
 <blockquote>
 "The Compassionate has ascended the 'Arsh." <a href="#10">[10]</a>
 </blockquote>
 And:
 <blockquote>
 "And verily, your Rubb is Allaah who created the heaven and earth in six days, and then ascended the
 'Arsh. <a href="#11">[11]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Allah also says:
 <blockquote>
 "Are you sure that He Who is Above the heaven will not cleave the earth beneath you? Or
 are you sure that He Who is above the heaven will not send against you a stone-charged hurricane."<a href="#12">[12]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The renowned exegetes and commentators are agreed that the One Who is above the heaven is none but
 Allaah Who has mounted His Arsh and is above it in the manner which suits His Majesty.
 
 
 Those who believe that Allaah is everywhere base their argument on verses such as:"And He is Ilaah in the
 Heavens and He is Ilaah on the Earth!"
 
 
 The term, 'Ilaah' is classical Arabic means, 'the worshipped'; thus the meaning of the above verse is, "It is
 He Who is worshipped in the heaven and worshipped on the earth". It would have been redundant were
 the verse to speak about the existence of Allaah in the heaven and on the earth, for the term Ilaah' is an
 adjective of Allaah, while the pronouns, 'He' in the verse is used in lieu of the name 'Allaah', therefor, when
 the name 'Allaah' replaces the pronoun 'He', we get the proper meaning of the verse: 'And it is Allaah Who is
 worshipped in the heaven and on the earth'. But according to the deviated sect who consider the term,
 'Ilaah' as 'Allaah', we get the redundant meaning, 'And Allaah is Allaah in the heaven and Allaah on the
 earth,' a sentence which is grammatically, linguistically and logically incorrect.
 
 
 Qataadah, a renowned exegete, interpreted this verse as:
 <blockquote>'He is worshipped in the heaven and on the earth'.</blockquote>
 
 
 Imaam al-Aajurree said: <blockquote>
 'al-Ilaah, is the worshipped. He is worshipped in the heaven as He is worshipped on
 the earth'.
 </blockquote>
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="omnipresence"></a>
 The Omnipresence of the Divine Knowledge
 
 </h4>
 
 
 <blockquote>
 "And He is Allaah above the heaven and on the earth He knows your private and public affairs. And He
 knows what you achieve." <a href="#13">[13]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Those who deny that Allaah is above His Arsh, dubiously argue that this verse supports their argument.
 Their argument is refuted by realizing that this verse refers to the knowledge of Allaah, according to the
 renowned exegetes, not His essence. They further assert that this verse signifies that the knowledge of
 Allaah encompasses all things in the heavens and on the earth. The reference to the divine knowledge is
 made clearly by repeating the clause, 'He knows' twice in this verse, that is to say: "Allaah, the Exalted,
 knows the hidden and the open, and He knows what you achieve".
 
 
 Had the verse ended with the word, 'earth', one might take their dubious argument into consideration, but
 Allaah, the Exalted, makes it abundantly clear that it is His knowledge, not His essence that encompasses
 all things.
 
 
 Another dubious argument is presented by those who deny the fact that Allaah, the Exalted, is above His
 'Arsh, by alleging that the following verse supports their argument.
 <blockquote>
 "Do you not see that Allaah knows all
 that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth? There is no secret counsel of three, but He is their
 fourth, nor of five, but He is their sixth, nor of fewer than that, nor of more, but He is with them wherever
 they may be. Then on the Day of Resurrection He will inform them of what they did. Surely, Allaah knows
 all things full well."<a href="#14">[14]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The above verse, they contend, signifies that Allaah is essentially everywhere. This argument is refuted by
 the prominent exegete, Ibn Katheer who says:
 <blockquote>
 "This means that Allaah is well acquainted with their
 utterances, and private talks and thoughts."
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Al-Qurtubee commented on this verse saying:
 <blockquote>
 "He knows and hears their private counsel. This is evidenced
 by the fact that the opening and concluding clauses of this verse confirm the knowledge of Allaah."
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Al-Qaasimee says:
 <blockquote>
 "The scholars among the Prophet's companions, who transmitted the meaning of the
 Qur'aan to their successors, held this verse to mean that Allaah is above His 'Arsh, but His knowledge is
 everywhere."
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The linguistic analysis of this verse proves the following points:
 <ul>
 <li>
 The opening words of the above verse speak of Allaah's knowledge, not His location.
 </li>
 <li>
 Private counsel, or secret talk, is the theme of this verse. Allaah says, 'There is no secret counsel of
 three, but He is their fourth'. He does not say, 'There are not three, but He is their fourth'. Thus the
 meaning becomes quite clear that it is the knowledge of Allaah what encompasses all His creatures.
 </li>
 <li>
 Allaah confirms that He will inform them of their secret talk on the Day of Resurrection.
 </li>
 <li>
 The verse ends, therefore, confirming Allaah's knowledge.
 </li>
 <li>
 Allah begins the soorah of al-Mujaadilah (Chapter 58), of which the verse in question is part, with the
 following verse:
 <blockquote>
 "Allaah has indeed heard the speech of the woman who pleads with you concerning
 her husband and complains to Allaah. And Allaah has heard your dialogue. Verily, Allaah is All-
 Hearing and All-Seeing." <a href="#15">[15]</a>
 </blockquote>
 </li>
 <li>
 Allah, the Exalted, states that He has heard the woman who was complaining to the Prophet
 (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) , and has certainly heard her arguing with her husband, but He did
 not state in the verse that He was their third.
 </li>
 <li>
 In the subsequent verse, Allaah emphasizes that He is well acquainted with the deeds of His slaves.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 If one were to believe that Allaah is essentially everywhere, it would follow then that He also dwells in filthy
 places. Only an insane person would dare to impute to Allaah such an attribute. Far removed is Allaah of
 what they ascribe to Him.
 
 
 It would also follow that Allaah is mingling with His creatures in the heavens and on the earth. Such belief
 has paved the way for panatheism<a href="#16">[16]</a>, and promoted the myth of god incarnate. Allaah is far removed
 from what they ascribe to Him. It should be clear in the minds of the true believers that there is nothing to
 surround Allaah, the Exalted, nor is there a place to contain Him. Things and places are creatures, and
 Allaah is above all His creatures. All creatures need Him, while He is separated from His creatures, and
 stands in need of none of them.
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="qiblah"></a>
 The Heaven is the Qiblah of the Du'a
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Muslims supplicate Allaah with their palms upheld because they believe Allaah is above the heaven. When
 confronted with this fact, those who deny the Loftiness of Allaah allege that Muslims supplicate in this
 manner only because heaven is the qiblah of du'aa or supplication.
 <ul>
 <li>
 The above allegation, to begin with, has no proof in the Qur'aan or the Sunnah, and it cannot be
 related to any of the Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) nor to any of the
 Taabi'een, who succeeded them. There is no mention of this statement in the Book of Allaah or the
 Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) . The issue of the qiblah is central to the
 religion of Islam, so every Muslim must be aware of it and especially the scholars of the Muslim
 ummah should have known it.
 </li>
 <li>
 It is an established fact, that the Ka'bah is the qiblah of formal prayer as well as the du'aa or
 supplication. To declare the heaven or anywhere else to be the qiblah of du'aa is a gross bid'ah
 (innovation) and a clear breach of the Qur'aan, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the ummah,
 because the Muslims have one single qiblah, the Ka'bah.
 </li>
 <li>
 The qiblah is the direction to which Muslims turn or face in prayer, and to face something is to look
 toward it. If the heavens were the qiblah, the Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) would have
 commanded his companions, with whom Allaah is pleased, to face the heavens in their prayer. On
 the contrary, the Muslims are forbidden to uphold their eyes while praying, but are to concentrate
 on the spot upon which their faces rest during prostration. The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu
 `alaihi wasallam) warned:
 <blockquote>
 "Let those who uphold their eyes while praying stop doing so, lest they
 become blind." <a href="#17">[17]</a>
 </blockquote>
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 The Qur'anic verses allow no room for such opinions. Allaah, the Exalted, specifically commanded His
 Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and his ummah to face the direction of the Ka'bah in their
 prayers, saying:
 <blockquote>
 "And from wherever you come forth, turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque." <a href="#18">[18]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Then Allaah addresses the Muslims:
 <blockquote>
 "And wherever you may be, turn your faces toward it."<a href="#19">[19]</a>
 </blockquote>
 The Loftiness of Allaah is also proven by the following verse:
 <blockquote>
 "To Him ascend the good words, and He exalts
 the righteous deeds." <a href="#20">[20]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 This verse contains the clear words of Allah, in which the verb "ascend" is used to indicate that Allaah is
 above and separated from His creatures. The ascendance of deeds is also proven by the words of the
 Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) describing the excellence of the period of time that falls after zawaal
 of zenith. He said,
 <blockquote>
 "This is a time when the gates of the heavens are opened, and I hope that a good deed
 of mine would ascend to Allaah."
 </blockquote>
 The verb "ascend" in the text signifies that the good deeds are raised up to
 reach Allaah, the Exalted. And Allah says:
 <blockquote>
 "The angels and ar-Rooh<a href="#21">[21]</a> ascend to Allaah in a day which is fifth
 thousand years long."<a href="#22">[22]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The Loftiness of the Creator is made clear by the great distance that separates the angels who inhabit the
 heavens from their Rubb above them. And Allaah says:
 <blockquote>
 "He manages all affairs from the heaven unto the
 earth." <a href="#23">[23]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 It should be borne in mind that this verse is preceded by the words of Allaah: "He mounted the Throne."
 
 
 And Allaah also says:
 <blockquote>
 "O, Eesaa (Jesus)! I shall cause you to die, and raise you up to Me."<a href="#24">[24]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Since Allaah addressed Eesaa saying: "I will raise you up to Me", what would those who believe that Allaah is
 everywhere answer when they are asked: "Where is Eesaa now?" They would say either Eesaa is everywhere,
 or he is in heaven. If they claim that Eesaa is everywhere, they would apostatize as a result of their equating
 Eesaa with Allah in accordance with their claim that Allaah is everywhere. A claim which resembles the
 Christians' myth of god incarnate. But if they say, "Eesaa is in the heaven," they would admit that Allaah did
 raise Eesaa up to the heaven, and that Allaah is above the heavens.
 
 
 Allaah says:
 <blockquote>
 "Surely, your Rubb is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days; then He
 istawaa<a href="#25">[25]</a> on the Throne." <a href="#26">[26]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 This is one of the seven Qur'anic verses in which Allaah, the Exalted, refers to His istiwaa' on His 'Arsh.
 Ahl-us-Sunnah are certain that the great 'Arsh of Allaah is above the seven heavens. They also believe that
 Allaah, having created the earth and apportioned its provisions, ascended above His great 'Arsh. Only those
 who believe otherwise hold these verses to be allegorical. Allaah, they say, "is everywhere", denying that He
 is above the 'Arsh. Exalted is Allaah, and far is He removed from their ascription.
 
 
 Quoting all or even most of the verses signifying Allaah's attribute of Loftiness would only enlarge the
 volume of this issue. There are about 215 verses in the Qur'aan containing the verb sent down with
 reference to either the Qur'aan, the previous Scriptures, or the angels.
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="prophetic-traditions"></a>
 Proofs from Authentic Prophetic Traditions
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Authentic Prophetic traditions, as well as traditions of the Prophet's companions, with whom Allaah is
 pleased, and works of the Four Imaams and of the rest of the pious predecessors contain many textual as
 well as inferential proofs of Allaah's Loftiness. Allaah, the Exalted, praises His Messenger (sallallaahu
 `alayhi wasallam) and confirms his veracity and truthfulness by saying:
 <blockquote>
 "Nor does he speak of his own
 desire. It is only revelation revealed (to him.)" <a href="#27">[27]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 And Allah says:
 <blockquote>
 "And whatsoever the Messenger commands you, adhere to it, and whatsoever he forbids
 you, abstain from it."
 </blockquote>
 
 
 And the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "I have been given the Qur'aan and similar
 to it therewith." <a href="#28">[28]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The purified Sunnah is what the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) meant by saying: "and similar to it
 therewith". The Sunnah is the second source of the Sharee'ah of Islamic laws. Many traditions deal with the
 attribute of Allaah's Loftiness. The following are selected authentic traditions to whose authenticity all
 scholars of the hadeeth at all times have testified.
 
 
 The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) reported his eventful journey from Makkah to Jerusalem (al-
 Mi'raaj)<a href="#29">[29]</a> and from there up to the heavens as follows:
 
 
 Jibreel took me up to the lowest heaven and requested its guards to open its gate. He was asked, 'Who is
 this?' He answered, 'Jibreel.' 'Who is with you?' They inquired. 'Muhammad (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)'
 He answered. They inquired. 'Has he been invited?' 'Yes'. Jibreel replied. Then someone greeted saying,
 'He is most welcome'. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) continued, when the gate was opened, I
 entered and met Aadam there. Jibreel said to me, 'This is your father, greet him'. Aadam greeted me back,
 saying: 'Welcome, pious son and pious Prophet'. Then Jibreel ascended to the second heaven and
 requested its guards to open its gate.
 
 
 The questioning that took place in the lowest heaven was repeated before the gate was opened. The
 Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) described what he saw in every heaven, until finally he was taken
 up to the seventh heaven where obligatory prayers were prescribed to him. This authentic mutawatir<a href="#30">[30]</a>
 hadeeth speaks clearly in plain words and straightforward manner which is not liable to misconstruction or
 farfetched interpretations. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) was taken up to his Rubb from one
 heaven above the other. The Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah believe that the Mi'raaj was neither an illusion nor
 a vision, rather real and essential. Had Allaah been everywhere, why would the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi
 wasallam) be taken all the way up to the seventh heaven? Allaah would have prescribed to him the Salaah
 on earth rather than in the seventh heaven.
 
 
 Abdullaah ibn Amr reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "Be merciful to those on
 earth, so that the One above the heavens will be merciful to you." <a href="#31">[31]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Aboo Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "The angels of death usually
 attend the dying person. If he is pious, they would address his soul saying, 'O good soul! Come out of the
 good body, and rejoice in the annunciation of mercy and provision from the Rubb Who is well pleased
 with you'. The angels would keep coaxing it with these words until the soul emerges from the body. Then
 it would be taken up to the heaven where permission to open the gates of the heaven would be sought. The
 guards would inquire, 'Who is this?' 'So and so', the angels would answer. The guards would say: 'O good
 soul! You are welcome'. The soul would be flattered by such words and finally be taken up to heaven above
 which is Allaah." <a href="#32">[32]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 It is quite evident that Allaah, the Exalted, is above the seven heavens. Otherwise, why would the souls and
 the believers deeds be taken up to the heavens to reach Allaah?
 
 
 Aboo Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "The angel of death used to
 appear to people whose souls he would collect. When he came to the Prophet of Allaah, Moosaa (alayhissalaam) to
 collect his soul, Moosa punched out his eye. The angel of death ascended to his Rubb, the Glorious, and
 said to Him, My Rubb! You have sent me down to Moosa who punched out my eye. Had he not been
 honored by You, I would have given him hard time..."
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The angel of death descended to Moosa from the heaven to collect his soul. He did not come to him from
 east, west, north, or south, nor did he emerge from the earth, and then he ascended to His Rubb Who is
 above the heavens.
 
 
 Aboo Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "There are hundred levels in
 Jannah which Allaah has prepared for the Mujaahideen who fight in His cause. Between on level and
 another is a distance which is equal to that between the earth and the heaven. When you ask Allaah, azza
 wajall, ask Him for Firdaws, because it is situated in the midst and Highest point of Jannah from where
 the rivers of Jannah spring, and above it is the 'Arsh of the Most Merciful." <a href="#33">[33]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Mu'aawiyah as-Sahmee reported:
 <blockquote>
 "I had some sheep which I kept between Uhud and Juwaniyyah with a
 slave-girl to look after them. One day, I went out to check on my sheep and discovered that a wolf had
 devoured one of them. Since I am just a human, (I became angry) and struck the girl. Later on, I came to
 the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and reported to him the incident. He terrified me with the
 gravity of my action. I said, 'Messenger of Allaah'! Shall I free her (as an expiation of my sin.) He said 'Call
 her over'. When I did, he asked her, 'Where is Allaah?' She said, 'Above the heavens'. Then he asked her,
 'Who am I?' She said, 'The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) '. Thereupon, the Messenger
 of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) ordered me, 'Free her. She is a believer'." <a href="#34">[34]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The above hadith, according to Shaykh Kahleel al-Harraas, is a luminous proof of the Loftiness of Allaah, the
 Exalted. Here is a man who wronged his female slave by striking her, and wanted to expiate his sin by
 giving her freedom in return. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) chose one particular question,
 'Where is Allaah?' Then the slave girl gave him the correct answer, 'Above the heaven'. The Prophet
 (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) declared her to be a believer.
 
 
 Does not the above hadeeth stand as a solid proof that Allaah is above the heaven? Doubtlessly, that slave
 girl, the shepherdess, knew her Rubb more than those ignorantly claim that Allaah is everywhere!
 
 
 Aboo Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "Our Rubb, the Blessed, the
 Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night, during the last third of the night, and says: 'Anyone
 calls Me, I will respond to him? Is there anyone asking for anything? I will give it to him? Is there anyone
 seeking My forgiveness, I will forgive him?'" <a href="#35">[35]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 The words of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) : 'Our Rubb, the Blessed, the Exalted, descends to
 the lowest heaven', clearly indicate the essential Highness or Loftiness of Allaah, the Exalted. Were Allaah to
 exist everywhere, there would be no need for the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) who knew Allaah
 best, to say, 'Allaah descends', nor would there be a reason to distinguish one portion of the night from
 another. There is only one answer to this: Allaah, the Blessed, the Exalted, is above the seven heavens, and
 above the great 'Arsh.
 
 
 Aboo Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "Allaah will descend to His
 slaves on the Day of Resurrection." <a href="#36">[36]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 It is the Day when Allaah will come down to pass His judgment.
 
 
 In another tradition, the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said:
 <blockquote>
 "Allaah will gather the first and the
 last of His slaves for an appointed certain Day, when they will remain for forty years with their eyes
 uplifted towards heaven waiting for the decisive judgment. Allaah will then descend in coverings of clouds
 from His 'Arsh to the Kursee."
 </blockquote>

 The Standpoint of the Companions (May Allah be pleased with them)
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Zainab, the wife of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) , used to claim excellence over the rest of his
 wives by telling them, 'It is only your parents who gave you in marriage to the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi
 wasallam) , while it is Allaah Who gave me in marriage to him from above the seven heavens.'<a href="#37">[37]</a>
 
 
 In another narration, she said to the Prophet (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) , 'It is the Rahmaan, the
 Merciful, Who married me to you from above His 'Arsh.'
 
 
 Ibn Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said to Aa'ishah, the wife of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu
 `alayhi wasallam) when she was on her death bed: "Of all his wives you were the most beloved to the
 Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) , and he used to live only the pure. Allaah, the Exalted
 sent down your exoneration from above the seven heavens which was brought down by Jibreel. There is
 not a single masjid of the masajid of Allaah but the verses of your exoneration<a href="#38">[38]</a> are recited in it day and
 night."
 
 
 Aa'ishah, the wife of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) in this world and in the world to come,
 Mother of the Believers, whom the pervasive-minded sect tried to dishonor, but Allaah, the Exalted,
 exonerated her honor and condemned those who spread the lies against her.
 
 
 In his speech subsequent to the death of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) , Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq
 said: "He who was worshipping Muhammad (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) , (let him know that)
 Muhammad is dead, and he who was worshipping Allaah, (let him know that) Allaah is above the heaven
 Ever-Living, never dies'." <a href="#39">[39]</a>
 
 
 Ibn Umar passed by a shepherd and asked him, 'Do you have a sheep fit for slaughter?' 'Its owner is
 around', the shepherd answered. 'Tell him that the wolf devoured it'. Ibn Umar said to him. Thereupon,
 the shepherd uplifted his head towards the heaven and said, 'Then where is Allaah?' Ibn Umar responded,
 'By Allaah. It is I who should have said, 'Where is Allaah.' He later on bought off the sheep and the shepherd
 and freed the latter and gave him the sheep.<a href="#40">[40]</a>
 
 
 Abd-ur-Rahman al-Mahdee <a href="#41">[41]</a> said: "There is no one more evil among the people of whims than the
 followers of Jahm. All their deviant beliefs revolve around one theme; 'There is no one above the heaven.'
 I believe, by Allaah, that they should not be married from, nor to inherit Muslims nor to be inherited by
 Muslims."
 
 
 This opinion of Ibn Mahdi is shared by many among the pious predecessors.
 
 
 Wahb ibn Jareer said: "Beware of the opinions of Jahm's followers, for they try to convince people that
 there is nothing above the heavens. Their statements are only from Iblees's revelation, and it is only
 infidelity". <a href="#42">[42]</a>

 The Standpoint of the Four Renowned Imaams
 
 </h4>
 
 
 <h6>
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 <a id="abu-hanifah"></a>Imam Aboo Haneefah <a href="#43">[43]</a>
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 </h6>
 
 
 Aboo Mutee' Al-Balkhee reported:"I asked Imam Aboo Haneefah about a person who says, 'I do not know
 whether my Rubb is, above the heavens or on earth?' Aboo Haneefah, may Allaah grant him His mercy, said:
 'A person who makes such a statement becomes an apostate because Allaah, the Exalted says, 'The Merciful
 has ascended above the 'Arsh, and the 'Arsh of Allaah is above His heavens'. I further asked Aboo Haneefah,
 'What if such a person admits, Allaah is above His 'Arsh, but exclaims, I do not know whether His 'Arsh is
 above the heavens or on earth'. Aboo Haneefah responded: 'If he denies that the 'Arsh is above the heavens,
 he is an apostate." <a href="#44">[44]</a>
 
 
 If the person apostatizes by saying that he did not know where is the 'Arsh of Allaah, then by right a person
 who denies the Loftiness of Allaah altogether is definitely worse than an apostate.
 
 
 <h6>
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 <a id="malik"></a>Imaam Maalik <a href="#45">[45]</a>
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 </h6>
 
 
 Abdullaah ibn Naafi' reported: Maalik ibn Anas said: 'Allaah is above the heavens, but His knowledge
 encompasses everything. Nothing escapes His knowledge.' <a href="#46">[46]</a>
 
 
 <h6>
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 <a id="shafiee"></a>Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee <a href="#47">[47]</a>
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 </h6>
 
 
 
 Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee said:"The creed which I hold is the same creed the Muslims before me were holding,
 namely, the Testimony of Faith: "There is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allaah, that
 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, and that Allaah is above His 'Arsh, above the heavens. He descends
 to the lowest heaven whenever He wishes." <a href="#48">[48]</a>
 
 
 Imaam ibn Khuzaymah, a Shaafi'ite himself, said: "Whoever disacknowledges that Allaah is above His 'Arsh,
 above His seven heavens, and that He is separated from His creatures, is a Kaafir, (unbeliever). Such
 person must be ordered to repent and disavow his belief, or else he must be beheaded and thrown on a
 garbage dump so that neither Ahl-ul-Qiblah<a href="#49">[49]</a> nor Ahl-udth-dthimmah<a href="#50">[50]</a> be annoyed by the foul odor
 of his carcass." <a href="#51">[51]</a>
 
 
 Aboo Bakr Muhammad at-Tameemee, a Shaafi'ite imaam of Naysaaboor, said: "I do not pray behind a person who
 denies the attributes of Allaah and does not recognize that Allaah is above His 'Arsh." <a href="#52">[52]</a>
 
 
 <h6>
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 <a id="ahmad"></a>Imaam Ahmad <a href="#53">[53]</a>
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 </h6>
 
 
 He was asked: "Is Allaah above His 'Arsh, above the seventh heaven, separate from His creatures, and is
 His knowledge and power encompassing everything everywhere? He replied: 'Certainly, He is above His
 'Arsh and nothing escapes His knowledge." <a href="#54">[54]</a>
 
 
 All of the above show that the entire Muslim ummah, in the past and present, is in unison regarding the
 belief in the Loftiness and Supremacy of Allaah, the Exalted.
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="arguments"></a>
 Dubious Arguments
 
 </h4>
 
 
 Adherents of certain deviant sects promote a false belief that Allaah is omnipresent Who inheres in His
 creation. Rational arguments are deadly available to refute the blasphemy of the Jahmites and those who
 try to revive their belief today. To prove that Allaah is above His 'Arsh, and above the seventh heaven in a
 manner that suits His Majesty, the Imaam of Ahl-us-Sunnah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, may Allaah be pleased with
 him, refuted their belief more than one thousand years ago, when he wrote: "Where Allaah is and Where
 He is not - An exposition of the denial of the Jahmites that Allaah is above the 'Arsh."
 
 
 We asked them "Why do you deny that Allaah is above the 'Arsh when He has said: 'The Merciful has
 mounted the 'Arsh?<a href="#55">[55]</a> And again,' 'Who in six days created the Heavens and the earth then ascended the
 'Arsh,'<a href="#56">[56]</a> They replied: "He is under the seven earths as He is on the 'Arsh; He is in heaven, on earth and
 in every place; there is no place where He is not, nor is He is one place to the exclusion of any other." And
 they quoted the verse: "And He is Ilaah in the heavens and He is Ilaah on the Earth!"
 
 
 If you wish to prove the falsehood of the Jahmites who claim that Allaah exists everywhere, not in one
 particular place, ask them, 'Is it not true that Allaah was existent when there was nothing in existence?' The
 Jahmites' answer would be: "Certainly, there was nothing before Allaah." Then ask them, "Did Allah create
 the creation within Himself or outside of Himself?" The Jahmites would be compelled to choose on of the
 following three answers:
 
 
 If the Jahmites assert that Allaah created the creation within Himself, they would then become apostate
 instantly by claiming that the Jinn, humans and Satans are all dwelling within Allah.
 
 
 If the Jahmites assert that Allaah created the creation outside Himself but dwelled in them afterwards, they
 would also become apostate instantly by claiming that Allaah dwells in His creatures.
 
 
 But if the Jahmites say that Allaah created the creation outside Himself and has never dwelled in them,
 they would by giving this answer, join the folds of Ahl-us-Sunnah, for by giving this answer they denounce
 their own deviant beliefs.
 
 
 Allaah, the Exalted, described Himself in the Torah too that He is above His creatures. Ka'b-ul-Ahbaar said:
 "Allah, azza wajall,<a href="#57">[57]</a> said in the Torah, 'I, Allah Am above My salves, and My 'Arsh ia above My
 creatures, and I am upon My 'Arsh running the affairs of My slaves. Nothing is hidden from Me neither in
 heaven nor on the earth." <a href="#58">[58]</a>
 
 
 Finally, it may be worthwhile to say that even the enemy of Allaah, Fir'awn (Pharoah), who flagrantly
 claimed to be a god of his people, knew where Allaah is more than the followers of Jahm today. Allaah says:
 <blockquote>
 "And Fir'awn said, 'O, Haamaan, build for me a tower that I may reach the ways; the ways to heavens so that
 I may have a look at the Ilaah of Moosaa." <a href="#59">[59]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Now consider the words of Fir'awn who wanted Haamaan to build a tower for him that he might climb all
 the way to the heavens to see the Rubb of Moosaa, for Moosaa already told him that Allaah to Whom he is
 inviting him is above the heavens, and compare this with the groundless argument of the Jahmite offshoots
 of today.
 
 
 A Muslim wonders how could those who believe that Allaah is Omnipresent rationalize such assertion
 knowing that Allaah, the Omnipotent, will collect the earth in His hand and fold the heavens in His right
 hand, as evidenced by the following divine stern warning.
 <blockquote>
 "And they have not venerated Allah with the veneration that is due Him, for on the Day of Resurrection,
 the earth will be collected in His hand and the heavens will be folded up in His right hand." <a href="#60">[60]</a>
 </blockquote>
 
 
 Were the above verse to be the only proof of Allaah's Loftiness, it would have been more than sufficient. It
 is certainly sufficient to those who fear Allaah and give Him the true veneration that is due to Him.
 
 
 <h4>
 
 <a id="conclusion"></a>
 Conclusion
 
 </h4>
 
 
 The first three Muslim generations whose righteousness the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi
 wasallam) testified for, and whose merits surpassed the merits of all succeeding generation. They are the
 Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and the two generations that followed them.
 They all believed in the apparent meaning of the Qur'anic ayaat that deal with the divine attributes
 without giving them farfetched interpretations based on Greek philosophies.
 
 
 The Believer must believe that there is none like unto Allaah, the Exalted, in His essence, attributes, nor
 His actions. He must also believe that Allaah stands in need of none of His creatures. Neither a thing nor a
 place encompasses Him. He is above His 'Arsh, above the seventh heaven, and above all His creature
 essentially and realistically not allegorically. There is none of His creatures that touches Him.
 
 
 Based on this it is not permissible to say that Allaah is everywhere, or He inheres in any of His creatures,
 for Allaah was when there was nothing. He who asserts that Allaah is not outside the universe, not only
 denies the existence of Allaah, but he worships a non-existent god.
 
 
 We ask Allaah to keep us on the straight path of His Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and his
 Companions and to make us join their company on the Day when neither wealth nor offspring would
 avail. Walhamdu lillahi Rabbil-aalameen.
 
 
 
 This discourse has been based mainly on two books: Ithbaat Uluwwillah, by Usamah bin Yusuf al-Qassas,
 may Allaah grant him His mercy, and Ar-Rahman alal Arsh Istawa, by Dr. Awad Mansoor.
