Lesson 38:

[AFFIRMING THAT ALLAH IS ABOVE HIS CREATION AND THAT HE IS ASCENDANT OVER HIS THRONE]

And like his saying ﷺ concerning the performance of ruqya for the one who is ill: ‘Our Lord, Allah, who is above the heaven, may Your name be sanctified. Your command is in the heaven and on the earth; just as Your mercy is in the heaven, place it on the earth as well. Forgive us our misdeeds and our sins for You are the Lord of good people. Send down some of Your mercy and some of Your cure on this ailment that it may be cured.’ [Abu Dawud – Hassan]

And like his saying ﷺ: ‘Do you not trust me when I am trusted by Him who is above the heaven?’ [Bukhari, Muslim]

And like his saying ﷺ: ‘The Throne is above the water, and Allah is above the Throne; He knows what you are doing.’ [Abu Dawud – Hassan]

And like his saying ﷺ to the slave girl: ‘Where is Allah?  She answered: ‘Above the heaven.’ He asked: Who am I? She replied: ‘You are the Messenger of Allah’. He said: Free her for she is a believer.’ [Muslim]
