The name Allah is also used by Arab Christians and Jews to refer to the one true god. “As Hebrew and Arabic are closely related.
Imam al-Tahawi (Allah have mercy on him) states, “He (Allah) is beyond having limits placed on Him, or being restricted, or having parts or limbs. Nor is He contained by the six directions like all the created things.” (Al-Aqida al-Tahawiyya, Point: 38)
Part of this central point of aqida is recognizing that Allah Most High is not confined to time (zaman) and space (makan), since He is the creator of both and absolutely free from needing anything (ghaniyy) that He has created. “Surely Allah is independent of all the worlds.” (Qur’an 29:6) He is not to be described with having a form, body, limits, directions and a material existence that occupies a particular space or location. Limiting Allah to time and space implies likening Him to His creation, because the one who exists in a physical place would, by nature, be a body; thus attributing a body to Allah.

@@mohammedmuneeb6203 BOTH. Allah is above the throne. Allah said THE GOOD WORDS ASCEND TO HIM. Understand that statement. The good words ASCEND
TO HIM. the good words ascend... meaning they are going up... and allah says they are going up AND that they are going TO HIM. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO RECONCILE THAT VERSE. And there are other verses like that.. SUCH AS: the angels will ASCEND TO HIM 70:4. OUR LORD IS FIS SAMA.
This is why my brothers and sisters, seek knowledge from those who understand Islam the way Sahabas and the Salafs after them understood. Not like people who use their own logic to understand Islam.
Almighty Allah exist without a place, direction and time. Allah doesn't need His creations. We need HIM!
hbk711x Allâh didn't say he is above us. He said he with his subjugation above us. The prophet didnt say Allâh is in a place. He said Allâh existed and there was nothing. It means there was no place no throne. He exists without a place
The aboveness of Allah means Power Control and Subjugation, not above in terms of a place or direction. Allah existed eternally before He created anything the place and direction. People of Bid`a attribute to Allah a size, form and shape so they attribute a place and direction to Allah and try to cover it by saying 'we dont know how'. And this is the BIGGEST lie wahhabis try to justify their tajseem beleif by saying "Imam Malik was asked about Istawa and he said the how is unknown" Imam Malik DID NOT say this. Imam Malik said " It is invalid to say how, and how does not apply to Him" (How does not apply to Him,' means that His istiwa' over His arsh is without a how, i.e., it is not with a body, place, shape, or form as sitting, touching, suspending above, and the like) Istawa means the Arsh is subjugated by the Power of Allah and it is under His control. The reason the Arsh is mentioned in this ayah is because the Arsh is the biggest of Allah's creation and when one knows and understands that the Arsh (the biggest creation) is under the control of Allah then by priority everything smaller is also under His Power and Control.
@@frontlinedefence5262Salaam alaykum.
when a man asked Imam Malik about the meaning of Quran 20:5, "The Merciful established Himself over the Throne," it is related that "nothing affected Imam Malik so much as that man's question," and the Imam fervently responded: "The 'how' of it is inconceivable; the 'establishment' part of it is known; belief in it is obligatory; asking about it is an innovation.
Me personally based on that quote I wouldn't think to much about describing these things because we are speaking on things only Allah (swt) knows!!!
& by doing so we are unknowingly doing tafseer on them verses.
Forgive me if I misunderstood you.
@@frontlinedefence5262
Ahlul Sunnah wal Jamaah doesn't do Taweel regarding the attributes of Allah where there isn't evidence for doing so.
Without direction? you need to read Quran a bit more.
Allah is above his creation!! Time space quantum physics etc. .... Allah SWT is above all that
Allaah is above his throne in a manner that befits his majesty سبحانه وتعالى
But Allah says he has "risen" above the arsh, then apparently he is closer than the jugular vein????
So where is Allah?
Edit:sorry correction made

@@zakaria87100 hownis Allah closer than my jugular vein? What about your vein?
@@YNYNYNYNYNYN warid means the vein of the heart, it means he's closer to us than our hearts...
He encompasses everything in know, and that verse shows how he knows our thoughts and sincerity of our hearts.
This is proved by the previous verses,
Our methodology is explain Qur'an with Qur'an, Qur'an with haddith, Qur'an with ijtihad etc.
Allah is not physically closer to us than our jugular, it's simple, Allah knows more about man's thoughts and conditions more than he knows himself.
“And when (O Messenger) My servants ask you about Me, then surely I am near: I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he prays to Me. So let them respond to My call (without hesitation), and believe and trust in Me (in the way required of them), so that they may be guided to spiritual and intellectual excellence and right conduct.” (Al-Baqarah 2:186
"How is Allah near" hope this verse explains everything.
Allah exists without a place! He is as He was before he created place and space and He is as He was without need or change!
Hajj 5 PILLARS alhamdulilah someone finally said it
This is the aqeedah of Muslims. Allah created everything and existed eternally before creating anything. After creating the creation Allah does not change. Change is the most prominant characteristics of the creation and does not apply to Allah the Creator. Pure tanzeeh is the correct belief.
You just use the WORD HE five times / So my Question to you is why is Allah in the quran always as HE,HIM,MAN,KING AND RULER,ALSO HE has Emotions grieves,sorrows and HE sees,hears,talk,walks,stands,sits,and has eyes hands and legs,and more. and what is the spirit that or life force that HE put INTO Adam when creating him? Is that life force or spirit a part of Allah because it came from none other then Allah Him self He put it INTO Adam / Explain what You know.
FRUIT OF ISLAM NATION WITHIN A NATION liar the Quran doesn’t say MAN ... just He Us We King The Wise and so on but Allah is over the heavens and His Arsh don’t call Allah a man because that’s blasphemy Allah is close to us with His knowledge and Sees and hears everything so please learn before you insult the ALL MIGHTY CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH ALLAH
I wanna here others opinions on this
(As an Athari) we hold the opinion of Allah being above the throne in manner that we can never comprehend and in a way that would besuits Allah's majestic nature and might, without modality and likeness!
Which doesn't encompass time and space
simply;
1.) Who created time & place ?
It is confirmed in the Qur'an that Allaah created everything.
2.) Prior to the existence of time & place did Allaah exists ?
Yes, it confirmed in the Qur'an that Allaah is Eternal without a beginning, and Everlasting without an end.
Al-Bukhariyy and others related that the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and protect his Muslim nation from whatever he feared for it) said what means; " Allaah existed eternally before creating any of the creation and there was nothing other than Him. "

What did Salaf say about the Verses of al-Qur'an that are Mutashabihat?
Details
Rest assured that the way and methodologies of both the scholars of Islam from Salaf and the Khalaf are correct and neither of them attribute anything to Allah that does not befit Him.
In simple terms, one correct way of explaining the mutashabihat ayat in the Qur'an is to say one believes in them according to the meaning that Allah willed without saying what that meaning is; and without a 'how,' i.e., without attributing to Allah sitting, standing, occupying places, sensuous attributes, or any of the meanings that apply to humans and other creations. Following this method, one would say: "Allah has an istiwa' which befits Him--which is not sitting, and Allah has a yad which befits Him--which is not a hand, and a wajh that befits Him--which is not a face." This was the way of the majority of the Salaf, accepting the attributes without "kayf" without the manners of being, without likening Allah to the creations in any way and with clearing Allah from a body or bodily parts or organs.
Nevertheless, it is well known that some of the scholars of the Salaf did attribute specific meanings (Ta'weel) to the mutashabihat ayat. In his Sahih, in the chapter Tafsirul-Qur'an (the explanation of the Qur'an,) Imam al-Bukhariyy attributed a specific meaning to the term "illa wajhahu" in Surat alQasas, ayah 88. He said, "illa mulkahu," i.e., he said that word "wajh"--which is an attribute of Allah--means "Mulk" or "Dominion."
The second correct way of explaining the mutashabihat ayat in the Qur'an is to give specific meanings to them (Ta'weel) which are in accordance with the Religion and the language. Following this method, one would say: "His istiwa' means 'He preserves the throne,' His yad means 'His Care,' His wajh means 'His Self,' 'His Dominion, as al-Bukhariy said' or 'His Qiblah.' as Ibn Abbas and Mujahid said.
Both are accepted methods in Islam. As long as the person clears Allah from resembling the creations, or having a body or a form or an image, or attributing space or place or direction to Allah. And note that Ibn Hajar said that the belief of the scholars from the Salaf and Khalaf is that Allah exists without being in a place or a direction, and the aboveness when attributed to Allah it refers to aboveness in status and not in place. And as Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Allah existed eternally without being in a place and without a direction".
Examples of Ta'weel from scholars of Salaf:
1. In the chapter, Tafsir alQur'an, (Explanation of the meaning of the Qur'an), Imam al-Bukhariyy says that the term "wajhahu" in Surat alQasas,ayah 88, means "His Dominion." However, those mushabbihah who liken Allah to the creation say, "We do not interpret, but rather we go by the literal meaning," and hence (they say) wajhahu means "His face."
2. In Surat al-Qalam, ayah 42, Allah said: {يوم يكشف عن ساق} The scholars of the Salaf explained the term "saq" by 'hardship,' and the ayah to mean 'a day of anguish and hardship.' This explanation is known to have been given by: Ibn ^Abbas, Mujahid, Ibrahim an Nakh^iyy, Qatadah, Sa^id Ibn Jubayr, and a multiple of scholars.
Both Imam al-Fakhr arRaziyy in his Explanation of the Qur'an, Volume 30, page 94 and Imam al-Bayhaqiyy in his books, Al-'Asma' wasSifat, (page 245) and Fath-al-Bari, (Volume 13, page 428) related this explanation from Ibn ^Abbas. Ibn Qulayb also related that about Sa^id Ibn Jubayr who took his knowledge from ^Abdullah Ibn ^Abbas and Ibn ^Umar. Yet, the mushabbihah insist on taking the literal meaning and attribute 'the shin' to Allah, by saying saq literally means 'shin.'
3. In Surat-ul-Baqarah, ayah 115, Allah said: فأينما تولوا فثم وجه الله Imam Mujahid, the student of Ibn ^Abbas, said that the word wajh means 'qiblah,' i.e., the direction of prayers during the voluntary prayers while traveling and riding on an animal. Yet, the mushabbihah insist on taking the literal meaning; they say the term, wajh, means 'face.'
4. Ayah 22 in Suratal-Fajr: وجاء ربك If taken literally, ayah 22 in Suratal-Fajr:Ayah 22 in Suratal-Fajrwould mean: "Your Lord comes."!! It was related that Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, who is among the authorities of the Salaf, said that this ayah means: [An indication of the Power of Allah has come.] In his book, ManaqibAhmad, Hafidh Imam alBayhaqiyy, established that the sanad (chain) of narrators is sahih (authentic).

Give me just one Ayaat or one authentic Hadith which explicitly states that Allah is ONLY restricted to being above the throne. I await your reply. What is so ridiculous to me is that this issue is exactly the same as the way the Christians treat the subject of Jesus being God incarnate. In that they quote ambiguous verses from the Bible to try and prove their position. This is exactly the same method being used by those who claim that Allah is only restricted to being above the throne. SubhanAllah. Leave this subject alone you foolish individuals.

I say that
Al-Bukhariyy, al-Bayhaqiyy and Ibnul-Jarud related that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
روى البخارىُّ والبيهقىُّ وابنُ الجارود أن رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "كان الله ولم يَكُنْ شَىءٌ غَيْرُهُ".
which means: Allah existed eternally and nothing else existed.
This hadith proves that only Allah existed without a beginning, i.e., before creating any of the creation. There was nothing with Allah: no place, no space, no sky, no Earth, no light, and no darkness. It is determined in the rules of the Religion and the judgments of the sound mind that Allah, the Exalted, does not change. Hence, it is impossible that after having been existing without a place, Allah will change and dwell in a place, because this is a development. The development is a sign of needing others, and the one who needs others is not God.
How is it a development and development a sign of need?
Allah existed without man or any single creation. Just bcz He created man, would that entail that it is development and creation of man entail a sign of need?
Allah is above the throne....and that doesn't entail Allah is in need of the throne.

Mike Woodman
The universe exists as a place. If you say Allah exists in a place you are saying Allah is like his creation which contradicts the ayah you quoted. Seems you have to engage is some cognitive dissonance just to convince yourself of such a belief.
Fahad Ali
Firstly I'm not assuming anything. Until you can provide evidence that things can exist in different ways, whatever that means, then I have no reason believe so. So your argument falls flat there.
Secondly Allah exists and we exist. To say we exist in a different way is unjustified and without evidence. So by the definition of "exist", both Allah and we exist in the same way. If you disagree provide some evidence not feelings or thoughts.
Thirdly the reason I do tanzeeh is not because I tashbih. In fact I don't do tashbih. You and those who subscribe to your belief do tashbih. The reason I do tanzeeh is because Allah said there is nothing like him. The reason you do tashbih is because Allah seemingly uses anthropomorphic language like hand and face. If you properly understood tanzeeh you would see how tashbih is impossible for Allah.
Fourthly I don't assume all hands or the other things you listed are equal. They can mean different things in different contexts. You are the one saying they are equal or the same but 'like no one else. Do you not see your own cognitive dissonance?
Allah cannot literally have a hand but it's not like anything hand we can think of. It's impossible. In fact the words hand or face become meaningless in those contexts because a hand is only a physical object that occupies space and time. If you want to change that when it comes to Allah then hand doesn't mean anything.
Anthony, If I am understanding correctly, you and Mike Woodman are in agreement. He is saying Allah is without a place.
Fahad - you cannot simply add the qualifier "like not one else" about Allah and it becomes valid. If someone attributed God with sleeping but said "like no one else" then it is still clear blasphemy. Furthermore, you are directly translating words like "Yad" from Arabic to english. Yes, it CAN mean hand. But in Arabic, it can also mean "power" and since I assume you are not a scholar or the arabic language or Islam, it is not for you (or for me) to attribute meanings to words in the Quran any way we deem. Salam.
I am not a scholar and neither are you. We shall say that when "Yad" is mentioned referring to Allah, then it is something befitting to Him. The scholars of Islam such as Tahawiyy cleared Allah from being in any of the directions. Therefore, He cannot have an anthropomorphic hand or any sort of literal hand because it would be contained in a space. And He (glory be to Him) is clear from such weakness. As you are aware, Arabic is quite complex and English is relatively simple by comparison. For example, "As-shadu" as in the beginning of the testification of faith means "I know, believe, and declare." Please use your sound intellect brother.
Imaam Maalik, Imaam of Daaril-Hijrah [d.179H]
`Abdullaah bin Naafi` reports that Maalik bin Anas said, “Allaah is above the sky And His Knowledge is in every place, not being absent from anything.”
[Reported by ‘Abdullaah ibn Ahmad in as-Sunnah (p.5), Aboo Daawood in al-Masaa’il (p.263), al-Aujurree in ash-Sharee’ah (p.289) and al-Laalikaa’ee (1/92/2). Its isnaad is Saheeh].
Love you sheikh Hamzah all wisdom mashllahالله, ليس كمثله شيء بديع السموات والأرضا
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَاۖ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He knows what goes into the earth and what comes forth from it, what descends from the heaven and what ascends thereto. And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be. And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
I hope and pray that all the arrogance and stupidity leaves me before I go to my beloved delusional state Allah knows best if you are going to preach then it goes against what happened to Ibrahim and Muhammad may Allah bless them and all the families inshallah just a reminder read the Quran and it will speak to you and show you everything and you will be untouchable inshallah ❤
Where is Allah?
Allah, the Exalted, has described Himself in His Book, and by the tongue of His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam as Sublime, Supreme, and Lofty. The Qur'an is full of proofs relevant to the Loftiness of Allah.
Ahlus-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah believes in and confirms all of the attributes of Allah, and that Allah 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 Allah is an indivisible part of the inherent faculty of knowing Allah with which Allah has created mankind. Although the 'aqidah of Loftiness of Allah 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 to 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 Allah. Whoever believes that Allah is above His 'Arsh [The Throne of Allah] and separated from His creatures, also believes in the rest of the attributes of Allah, and believes as well that the heaves and the earth submit to His will, and that He is the Great Rabb of the worlds. Allah 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 heresies promoted by the Jahmiyyah 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 istiwa of Allah above His 'Arsh. There is no doubt that the denial of the attributes of Allah clashes with the clear Qur'anic verses in which the unique essential attributes and beautiful names of Allah are confirmed. These attributes must be affirmed as identical to Allah.
The essential divine attributes of Allah constitute an integral part of His essence and are not superadded to it. They are accepted literally by Ahlus-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'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 Allah, or the question, 'Where is Allah?' with the Scriptural evidence from the Qur'an and the authentic prophetic traditions, as well as the traditions of those early Muslims, the pious predecessors.
Zidan Faris Pratama this is quote of the misguided Ibn taymiya. Allâh exists without a place. In Qur'an Allâh didn't say he is above throne. But it says creator of the throne. Other ayat are explained by Ahlusunna scholars. The one who is in heaven is angel Jibril. Allâh is not a body and he exists without a place
Zidan Faris Pratama Dear brother, this is the aqeedah of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, not Ahlul Bidah. Leave this ignorant Sufi to himself.
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the slave girl “Where is Allaah” She replied, “He is above the sky”. He asked her “Who am I?” She said “You are Allaah’s Messenger.” He said to her master, “Free her, for she is a believer” [Muslim 1/537]
@@MAli99923 the slave girl said "in" the sky (fi-samaa) not above the sky, but somehow people interpret "fi" to mean above. And if this hadith was to be taken in the literal sense, it would be a direct contradiction of the salafi belief that Allah is above the throne with his "dhaat" because the sky is below the arsh. Abdullah ibn Masood said the arsh is above the kursi which is above the skies. So saying Allah is in the skies is contradicting your own belief that Allah is above the arsh. If u want to use that hadith to establish a point of Aqidah, you are disproving your own belief that Allah is above the arsh. And Allah knows best.
@@abraarjamaluddin It is important to point out here that the literal translation of 'fis-sama' is 'in' the heavens. The scholars of tafseer have explained it according to the Arabic language for 'fi' in this context to have the meaning of above as it is not possible for Allaah to be surrounded by His creation i.e. the heavens. Also, sometimes the word 'fi' is used in the meaning of 'ala' (on) as mentioned in another verse:
"I will surely crucify you 'fee' (on) the trunks of palm-trees." [Soorah Ta-ha 20:71]
Now, obviously the 'fee' in this verse refers not to 'in' but to 'on' as one cannot be crucified within a trunk!
The other interpretation is based on the variant meanings of the word 'Sama' which in Arabic can refers to that which is elevated-the higher, or uppermost of anything (the Muhkam). It can also refer to the ceiling of a house, to the sky, to the heavens and to elevation and transcendence. The meaning should not be, hence, confused with its predominant acceptation, a word of well-known meaning: the sky-the canopy of the earth (taj al-aroos). Hence, the verse could be translated as the one Who is in transcendence to all creation which in essence, has the same meaning of being above the heavens.
16. (Iblis) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path.17. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)." [Soorah Araf 16-17]
Ibn Abbaas was authentically reported as saying: “Satan did not say (above them) because he knew that Allaah is above them.
Aboo Sa’eed Al-Khudree reports that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said “Do you not trust me and I am the trustworthy servant of Him who is above the sky. The news of the heaven comes to me in the morning and in the evening. [Bukhaaree 8/67 and Muslim 2/742]
Muhammad s.a.w.s. says in du'a: "ya Allah, You are az Zahir and ther is nothing above You, You are al Batin and there is nothing below you." Imam Abu Hanifah says: whoever says i don't know if Allah is on earth or in the sky has commited kufr, for he has inscribed place unto Allah. Also word fi sama in Muhammads s.a.w.s. time meant not only skies but in Glory/Sublimity. Do not think you have found some concrete proof.
@@amersekic8535 Can you reference your speech please
@@MAli99923 simply;
1.) Who created time & place ?
It is confirmed in the Qur'an that Allaah created everything.
2.) Prior to the existence of time & place did Allaah exists ?
Yes, it confirmed in the Qur'an that Allaah is Eternal without a beginning, and Everlasting without an end.
Al-Bukhariyy and others related that the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and protect his Muslim nation from whatever he feared for it) said what means; " Allaah existed eternally before creating any of the creation and there was nothing other than Him. "
ALLAAH EXISTS WITHOUT A PLACE!!! We can proof it just using our sound mind without even giving proof from Qur'aan and Hadith. The Creator must be existing before creations. This is obvious! So, Allaah existed eternally and nothing else existed with Him. No ^Arsh, no light, no darkness, no heavens ,no earths, no places, no human-nothing. Allaah brought everything from the state of non existence into the state of existence. Then why He would need a place after creating it? Creations need places to exist. Some creations are above us such as the seven skies, the angels who are the inhabitants of these skies, Paradise, Al-^Arsh( the Throne)etc. , Some creations exist under like the seven earths, living things in it, the hell etc. ; and we also see or don't see many creations on the earth. In addition, each creation is specified with a particular place, shape, body and other different attributes; and another very important sign that proofs all these are created is CHANGE. The creation changes! Who specified each creation with its own unique attributes? Who makes changes in the creation? Of course, the only Creator Allaah, the Exalted. So, how the Creator can be like creations? Don't we see creations have beginning and ending? Don't we see the creations are weak because it change i.e it has no will. Don't we see creations are dependent and has limitations? Then How can a person with a sound mind do this stupid comparison between God and His creations? If one say, " God resides on the Throne or God is up above somewhere or God is everywhere" then this person is also believing God is in need of something to exist just like the creation and something that is in need is weak. We are in constant need of something and we are affected by it greatly. God is perfect and this attribute befit Him. According to the basic beliefs of Islaam, attributing Allaah with any attribute of creations is shirk/ exiting Islaam which is also called associating partners with God. Whoever had/ has this wrong belief, reject it right away and say the 2 justifications of faith ( ash- shahadatain) in order to enter Islam which" No one deserves to be worshipped except Allaah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah." May Allaah guide us and keep us steadfast on Islaam and protect us from so called " sheikh" who lead people to the path of hellfire just like the one speaking in this video. Aameen

The word "God" somehow does not sink on my heart and does not please it. Why do some speakers who are talking about some topics in Islam keep repeating "God, God, God?" Why do they not say Allah, Allah, Allah or Rab, Rab Rab or any other of his Assmaul Husna that are mentioned in Koran.
No, No, No, God is not an English word for Allah (Azzawajal). God has different meaning than Allah (Azzawajal). God means three in one and one in three, Allah (Azzawajal) is ONE and ONLY ONE. God has a Son, Allah (Azzawajal) is free of having a Son or any associate and partner. Allah (Azzawajal) is addressed by the names "Parwardegar," or "Khooda," in Farsi and in Urdu language. Parwardegar and Khooda means exactly the same as Allah. Parwardeqar is Allah but God is not.
When a Christian says "God Bless You," they mean the blessing coming from "Jesus," the son part of the the God. When a Christian hears the word "God" coming from a Muslim they assume that the Muslim is talking about their God. That is, the God of Abraham, the God of Moses and the father God part of Jesus. The Christians do not
consider Allah to be an Arabic name for God despite of most of the similarities in the attributes between Allah and God. Attributes such as the Creator, the Sustainer and the Ruler of all the affairs in the Universe.
When you say to a Christian that God is the creator of the Universe and and the ruler of all the affairs in it, they agree. When you say to a Christian that God is the Lord of Abraham, Moses and Jesus, they agree. They also agree when you say "God is One." This is because to them "three is one." However, to a Christian, Allah is not God.
Now a days, the period of Greediness, Fitnah and Turmoil, there are many manipulators who claim to be Scholars. They give false Fatwas mostly for their own worldly interest. They bent to any direction that the wind blows in order to get a free ride from it. Do not say or accept Buttel in order to please the other side. Declare "Haq" despite of all the rejections.
Allah is not God and God is not Allah. Allah (Azzawajal) is one and he is unique. Allah (azzawajal) is not three. Allah (Azzawajal) does not have a Son. God is not unique. God is three and God has a Son. Fear Allah, Fear your Rab and do not call him by a different name that has a different meaning.
Allah (Azzawajal) is the Lord of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad where as God is the Lord of Abraham, Moses and Jesus and God is the father part of Jesus.
In case you are not aware, Arabic-speaking Christians use Allah just like the muslims. Using the word God when describing Islam to a western audience is important to bridge the mental gap that exists in the west.
There is no need to become an Arab to become a Muslim. Of course learning Arabic to better understand the Quran is always good idea.
@@mohamedoudah7724 lol. They were a little enthusiastic and ignorant. I'm glad he uses God. More non muslims want to listen to him and be inspired by hearing God from his tongue that they convert and instill Allah in their hearts. !!!

A simple refutation to those who believe Allah is in a place:
Didn't Allah create light and darkness?
Didn't Allah create the earth, humans, places, spaces, and directions?
Didn't Allah create everything?
Of course. This is evidenced in the Qur'an, Hadith, and mind.
So, since Allah existed before everything - before time, place, and directions, such as above and below - Allah exists without them after creating them.
Didn't Allah exist without a place before creating the places? They have to answer yes!
Otherwise, where was Allah before the 'where' (locations) existed???

The attributes of Allah سبحانه و تعالى are matters of the unseen, and the matters of the unseen have no room for interpretation.
The people of Tawheed and sunnah take the basic meaning of the words that Allah سبحانه و تعالى used to affirm for Himself. Without likening them to the Creation
Example:
Allah سبحانه و تعالى sees. And humans see. But the seeing of the human has defects, and is unlike the seeing of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He sees)
Allah سبحانه و تعالى hears. And humans hear. But the hearing of humans has defects, and is unlike the hearing of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He hears)
Allah سبحانه و تعالى has Hands. And humans have hands. But the Hands of humans have defects and, are unlike the Hands of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He has Hands)
Allah سبحانه و تعالى is above His Throne (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He is above His Throne)
We know about Allah سبحانه و تعالى, what He told us in the Qur’an. And we know about Allah سبحانه و تعالى, what the Prophet ﷺ told us in the Hadith.
Sadly, the people of misguidance have placed human constraints on Allah سبحانه و تعالى using Greek philosophy/Aristotle to reject/change/empty the attributes of what Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed for Himself

As Salamou ^alaykoum dear brother ramadan moubarak hope you’re having a wonderful Ramadan.
With respect to this hadith (hadith al-nuzul) and the like of it of the hadiths about the Divine attributes and their verses, there are two well-known approaches: the approach of most of the Salaf and some of the speculative theologians [mutakallimun] is to believe in their true nature according to what befits Him, Exalted Be He, and that their literal meanings that are commonly acknowledged with reference to us [dhahiriha] are not intended. We are to not discuss their meanings but all the while believing in God’s being exalted, Glory to Him, from having all the other characteristics of creation such as transference from place to place [intiqal] and movements [harakat] and the other states of the creation.
The second is the approach of most of the speculative theologians and a portion of the Salaf. It is narrated from Malik and Awza’i that they said they are to be interpreted in a way befitting them according to their non-literal meanings. Accordingly, the report is to be interpreted with two [different forms of] interpretations. One of them is an interpretation by Malik ibn Anas and others, who said: it is His Mercy (rahmah), His Order (amr) and His angels who descend, as it can be said: ‘the Sultan did so and so’ when actually [the task] has been performed by those under his command [and not by him personally] The second type of explanation is that this is a figurative meaning, i.e. the meaning would be that those who supplicate to Allah will be rewarded, that [their supplication] will be granted, and that they will receive ‘good things‘ (al-lotf).
Points to remember:
Imam an-Nawawi died in 676 after Hijrah, i.e. more than 700 years ago. He was from Nawa, a village approximately 80km away from Damascus. He was a Shafi‘ i scholar and wrote several jurisprudence manuals in this school. He did notwrite this particular explanation to refute Ibn Taymiyya (who was about 15 years old when an-Nawawi died), or the Wahhabis (who appeared during the twelfth century after the Hijrah).
He is the author of “The Gardens of the Righteous” ( Riyaad as-Saaliheen) and the collection of 40 hadiths which is so well-known nowadays. He has always been considered as a great scholar.
In this quote, he summed up the two correct ways to approach this kind of non-explicit narrations, and what these methods have in common is that they do not take the literal meanings of those texts.
He also narrates the interpretations made by scholars from the Salaf. in a nutshell he explains that sometimes, the subject of a verb is not the one who performs the action, as when it is said in Arabic ‘Banal-Amiru l-Madinata” i.e. literally ‘The Prince built the town’ even though he did not put himself bricks above other bricks. However ‘the prince’ can be the subject of ‘built’ in the sentence, because he is the one who ordered that the town be built. Here it is the same reasoning, i.e. ‘Rabbuna’ is the subject of ‘yanzilu’ but this does not mean that it is Allah who descends. This is a way of speech in Arabic (even in English it works, for example if you say ‘Manchester City Council built three schools’, everyone knows that it is not the Lord Mayor Harris Lyons, together with the councillors, who went to build them, but that the Council ordered for them to be built).
Dear brother believing that god move comes up or down it’s an apostasy meaning the person has corrupted his iman and has to do his two testimonies again by saying I bear witness there is no god except ALLAAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Sáduddīn Masúūd al-Taftāzānī al-Ĥanafī [712-793 AH / 1312-1391 CE] writes in Sharĥ al-Maqāşid, whilst describing the Sunni creed:
“He is not attributed with movement or changing position.”
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī al-Ĥanbalī [d. 597 AH / 1201 CE] writes in Kashf al-Mushkil regarding the narrations which mention Nuzūl:
“Indeed I have mentioned earlier...in things similar to this, that it is an obligation upon us to know what it is possible [to be an attribute] of Allāh, and what is impossible [to be an attribute of His]. Among the things that are impossible for Allāh [that He be attributed with] is movement, translocation and change. The scholars have two approaches to with regard to what has been narrated in this:
One: Is to remain silent [without assigning a specific meaning]. Abū Ýīsā al-Tirmidhī narrated from Mālik ibn Anas, Sufyān ibn Úyaynah, and Ábdullāh ibn al-Mubārak, that they said, ‘Narrate it on, without [saying it has] a modality’. This was the approach of the Salaf in general.
Second: Is to assign an acceptable meaning, knowing that what is implied by descent in terms of movement is impossible [to be an attribute] of Allāh. Indeed, Imām Aĥmad said “وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ” means, ‘His Command came’.”
Imām Ibn Ĥajar al-Ásqalānī al-Shāfiýī [773-852 AH / 1371-1448 CE] writes in Fat’ĥ al-Bārī:
[The ĥadīth] has been used by those who believe Allāh is [ascribed with being] in a direction, and said, “[He is] in the direction above.” This was denied by the majority, because this saying implies Him being in a space, and Allāh is greatly above [and clear] of that. The statements regarding Nuzūl have differed:
جزاك الله خير الحبيب شيخ حمزة يوسف
The aboveness of Allah means His aboveness in Status Rank Power Control and Subjugation, not above in terms of a place or direction. Allah existed eternally before He created the place and direction. People of Bid`a attribute to Allah a size, form and shape so they attribute a place and direction to Allah and try to cover it by saying 'we dont know how'. And this is the BIGGEST lie wahhabis try to justify their tajseem beleif by saying "Imam Malik was asked about Istawa and he said the how is unknown" Imam Malik DID NOT say this. Imam Malik said " It is invalid to say how, and how does not apply to Him" (How does not apply to Him,' means that His istiwa' over His arsh is without a how, i.e., it is not with a body, place, shape, or form as sitting, touching, suspending above, and the like) Istawa means the Arsh is subjugated by the Power of Allah and it is under His control. The reason the Arsh is mentioned in this ayah is because the Arsh is the biggest of Allah's creation and when one knows and understands that the Arsh (the biggest creation) is under the control of Allah then by priority everything smaller is also under His Power and Control.
Please quote Imam Malik in Arabic to substantiate your claims. The four imams had the aqeedah of the salaf which is that Allah is above His throne in a way that befits His majesty. Moreover Imam Malik said that ASKING about the 'how' is an innovation so you are ascribing words to him he did not say which is slander. Even worse you are trying to use his words to suggest that he is supporting these evil innovated beliefs.
Read the hadith of the slave girl wherein the prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam asks the slave girl 'where is Allah'. That proof is substantial if you cannot gather that Allah is above His throne from the glorious Qur'an, where He has made it obvious for us to understand with clear words.

@@MAli99923 So Allah is in the sky of HejaZ?You guys are so blind and ignorant that you're forgetting the fact you're making Allah limited by saying He's limited to a place...Place is Makhlukh,Allah is Khaliq.These are metaphorical ayats,we believe these are From Divine.But in Metaphorical way not in literal sense as Allah mentioned in ayat 7 surah.Even Allah said Allah is close to us than we can imagine.Does that mean He's physically near us?Hell no.Islam was a very metaphysical way of thinking.We need to understand the Arabi balawigh of 6th century not in 21 century sense
Give me just one Ayaat or one authentic Hadith which explicitly states that Allah is ONLY restricted to being above the throne. I await your reply. What is so ridiculous to me is that this issue is exactly the same as the way the Christians treat the subject of Jesus being God incarnate. In that they quote ambiguous verses from the Bible to try and prove their position. This is exactly the same method being used by those who claim that Allah is only restricted to being above the throne. SubhanAllah. Leave this subject alone you foolish individuals. You are doing the work of shaythan by causing confusion amongst the Ummah and division based on differences of opinion amongst the scholars on verses of the Muthashaabihat. In fact these cultists deceive it's followers into thinking this was the way of the Salaf when it was only the stance of later Scholars Ibn Taymiyyah and some of his students. So if you really want to learn the way if the Salaf then know that they did not interpret such verses but completely consigned the meanings to Allah. Please learn from beyond what your narrow strand of scholars teach you and only then will you're eyes truly open!
Ya Allah do not allow the ignorant, arrogant and treacherous to divide the Ummah. Ameen
Ameen.
Interesting
Allah سبحانه و تعالى said He is above His Throne
The Prophet ﷺ said Allah سبحانه و تعالى is Above
You are talking about co-signing meanings? So you are insinuating that the most important knowledge that mankind should know about: The Creator, the Creator co-signed another meaning (repeatedly in the Qur’an)
May Allah سبحانه و تعالى guide you
No one says He is restricted when they are saying what Allah has told us. Your limited mind that can't see behind you is taking you to that restriction.
This guy is well educated and in the 21st century.... He would laugh at a 7th century man who claims to be a prophet from God, claims about the universe and say he isn't a prophet from God because the childish claims about the universe

This man is deluded himself.
No..Allah is on his Arsh..
Battery Charger, you need to charge your battery.
reflectimage ...Already done😂
so if Allah is on arsh then his Arsh must be greater than him and this belief is not good
Desi angraiz ..Once A student of the great Imam Malik was sitting around him and then a man asked him .ya imam..How Allah Rose to his throne.?..And Imam Malik got angry and he looked down .his students mention that the sweat was dropping from his forehead..And He said that Allah says ار رحمانو علل عرشستوا. That Allah rose to his throne...
And he said..We know that he is on his Arsh,Kaifiyat is majhool,and questioning about this is a bida't.
Now why do u get into this thing that is unknown...Allah says he is on his arsh thats it...we dont know how.....he is there according to his shan...All of the muhaddiseen and mufassireen write that Allah is on His arsh...The first Man who said that Allah is everywhere was Abu Mansur al Maturidi..And he was A sufi with the aqiida that we dont know...And muhaddiseen didnt use to take ahadiths from him...
Battery Charger sahaba never asked this question. They asked the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhis salaam where their lord is? The prophet remained silent and an ayah was revealed where Allah Himself responded. Allah said if my servants ask you about me say I am near. This is the answer Allah have Himself. It's enough for a Muslim. We believe in all Qur'an verses on istawa but we leave the meanings to Allah. Go and check tafsir ibn kathir on the ayah tell my servants I am near. The verses of istiwa were not revealed to answer Aina rabbuna ( where is our lord). Stick to Allah's answer and believe in everything Allah says about himself and leave the meanings to Allah. Allah enjoined worship and remembrance of Him and contemplation on his creation. Allah knows best.
Allah is above the seven heavens if you want prove debate me fools this guy is calling you to another place then Janna
A simple refutation to those who believe Allah is in a place:
Didn't Allah create light and darkness?
Didn't Allah create the earth, humans, places, spaces, and directions?
Didn't Allah create everything?
Of course. This is evidenced in the Qur'an, Hadith, and mind.
So, since Allah existed before everything - before time, place, and directions, such as above and below - Allah exists without them after creating them.
Didn't Allah exist without a place before creating the places? They have to answer yes!
Otherwise, where was Allah before the 'where' (locations) existed???

Read Quran: "God Gives the Holy Land to Israel
[5:21 "O my people, enter the holy land that GOD has decreed for you, and do not rebel, lest you become losers."
Also Quran was editted by Muhammad, no orginal Quran:
[2:106] "When we abrogate any miracle, or cause it to be forgotten, we produce a better miracle, or at least an equal one. Do you not recognize the fact that GOD is Omnipotent?"
"forgotten" - Muhammad forgot some ayats, Quran is not complete.
Also there is a polytheism, because "we" - it means many GODs.
Muslums are polytheists.
ilyas toxanbayev What in the world are you going on about? What do these 2 ayat have to do with each other or with the video?
And you do know there's such a thing called a royal we. You do know what a royal we is, right?
Ilyas toxanbayev - please troll christian or jewish videos and leave us alone.
Hi
You just said Quran said Quran said( O my people enter the holy land ) this is true but never forget God people is not a free check. If the Chinese obey God they will be his people and they can govern the holy land with justice. Not to say we are children of God and then argue, complain and kill prophets. If they are beloved of God why they are in state of torture by God and insecurity all these centuries.
- Yes God can abrogate any miracle he wants. You are a miracle ( no human can create you) he can just make you die. God can do whatever he want.
I am not a Shia and you are stupid
Where is Allah subhana wata ala, your answer is with prophet muhammad pbuh and the salaf, the understanding of the best generations, Above the throne, sufis are a misguided sect

Who is the REAL awliya of Allah? Does it includes non-Muslim?
