wa 'alaykumas-salaamu wa rahmatullaah This question is about the specific details of how Allaah descends. So the four-part answer given by Imaam Maalik (d.179)to a similar question should suffice us: 1) Descending is something well known. 2) The actual way Allaah descends is not known to us. 3) Belief in it is obligatory. 4) Seeking after its specific details is bid'ah.

Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah Here is that athar regarding Imam Malik (rahimahullaah) that our brother Moosa alluded to: And it was narrated by Yahya ibn Yahya at-Tamimi and Ja'far Ibn 'Abd-Allaah and a group of them said: "We were with Malik when a man came and asked him: 'O Abu `Abd Allah! "The Most Beneficent (Allaah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). (Ta-Ha 20:5) How did He Istawa (rise over)?" Malik lowered his head and remained thus until he was completely soaked in sweat. Then he said:
Shaykh Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah) declared this to be saheeh. [See Mukhthasar al-Uluww Of Dhahabee, Checked by Shaykh Naasir rahimahullaah, page 141] http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=8&Topic=6176 Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.

Asalamu alykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu Even though I am not someone known for Knowledge, I thought I might share something which I read in sh. Ibn Uthaymeen Rahimullah's Book of Knowledge. I hope this might be of benefit for me and others Insha'Allaah. The book of knowledge by shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen Rahimullah page 47-48
"This Hadeeth has been narrated by the Prophet (sallallahu alyhi wa sallam), and is well known. None of the companions raised any objections by saying: "Oh Messenger of Allah! How does He descend? And does He leave His Throne or not?, and other such similar questions. However, we find some people talking like this and saying: How is He upon His Throne and descends to the lowest heaven? And that which is similar to this from the statements which reject this, even though they accept this hadeeth and say that certainly Allah (ta'alaa) has risen above His Throne, and His rising is from that which befits His Majesty, and He descends as He (ta'alaa) wishes, just so as to overcome their doubts that they are not bewildered with that which the Prophet (sallallahu alyhi wa sallam) has informed them of their Lord. Therefore, it is obligatory upon us to accept what Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alyhi wa sallam) has informed us concerning the matters of the unseen (wholeheartedly), in full submission, and that we do not reject them in favour of that which is in our minds from feelings and preconceived notions; Because the matter of the unseen are far above this. And the examples about this are many, and I do not wish to prolong the issue by mentioning them. However, the position of the believer when presented with a hadeeth like this is acceptance in full submission, by saying Allah and his messenger have spoken the truth. As Allah has informs in His statement " The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His Messengers. They say "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers"- and they say " We hear and obey. Your forgiveness, Our Lord, and to you is the return"-Surah al Baqarah v. 285 " [End of quote] Umm yahya bint muhammed

One of the most important and well-written books on these topics, Al-Qawaa'id al-Muthlaa, (Exemplary Principles) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have Mercy on him), is available in its entirity translated into English. The second printing (with some additional commentary from Sh. 'Ubayd and Sh. Muhammad Amaan Jaamee) should be available next month, in shaa' Allaah. http://www.troid.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=445&func=view&catid=16&id=531#701 Moosaa ibn John Richardson ******************** ıııııı ııııı ıııııı ıııı ıı ıı ııı ııı ııı ııııııı ııııı
