Praise be to God, the Great, the Most High, the Most Powerful, the Almighty, the Possessor of Vengeance, whom we greatly praise, to whom we give thanks with greater gratitude, and I bear witness that there is no other god besides God. , to Him be the praise, to Him be the judgment, and to Him be the thou shalt be, in the world before and in the world to come. [القصص: 70]I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger; the one who knows Almighty God best and who fears Him most, so Almighty God has elevated his memory, exalted his status, given him a praiseworthy position, chosen him as the holy basin, raised him to the height of heaven, and made it mandatory for him to perform five prayers, may God bless him and his family, companions and followers on the Day of Judgment.
It is this: Fear God Almighty, obey Him, honor Him as He is due, worship Him in the true form of worship. For He, to Him be the glory, is Most High, All-Wise, All-Knowing, All-Mighty, Merciful, All-Knowing, All-Hearing, All-Seeing. He created you, provides for you, guides you, He will cause you to die, then raise you to life, then He will hold you accountable. If it is a good deed, He will multiply it and give a great reward from Himself.” [النساء: 40].
O people: when the glory of the Lord is with Him, the heart of the servant is settled, and he obeys the law; he knows his Lord through revelation, and glory be with Him. The Quran and the Sunnah are filled with the most beautiful names of Almighty Allah and His highest attributes. They stick to the text, do not go beyond it, and are too lazy to understand what is concealed in the text, so they confirm what he proves for himself and deny what does not suit him.
According to what is widely discussed in the Quran and Sunnah, and shown by reason and common sense: God Almighty is exalted over all His creation in His essence and attributes, glory be to Him, the Most High, the Most Exalted, and there is nothing higher than Him, the Almighty. Some scholars even mention a thousand proofs for this. There are various proofs:
There are clear evidences describing Him as the Most High and calling Him the Most High, such as when the Almighty says: “He is the Most High, the Most Great.” [سبأ: 23]God Almighty said: “Indeed, Ali is the wisest.” [الشورى: 51]God Almighty says: “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High.” [الأعلى: 1].
There are clear evidences in it that He (glory be to Him) is in heaven, such as when the Almighty says: “Are you secure in heavenly things, lest the earth swallow you up, lo! [الملك: 16]The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Do you not believe in me when I am the trustworthy one in heaven? Two sheikhs have brought news from heaven.”
There are clear evidences of His supremacy, and glory be to Him, such as when the Almighty says: “He is the Almighty, and He is above His servants.” [الأنعام: 18] God Almighty says: “They fear their Lord.” [النحل: 50].
There is clear evidence that He is above the Throne, meaning: He is above the Throne, as the Almighty says: “Indeed, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and then He placed Himself above the Throne.” The Throne. [الأعراف: 54]God Almighty says: “The Most Merciful God has placed Himself on the throne.” [طه: 5]The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If you ask Allaah, ask Him for Paradise, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest of Paradise, and above it is the throne of the Most Merciful, as he narrated in Al-Bukhari. Ibn Masood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “There is a journey of five hundred years between Paradise of this world and Paradise of the Hereafter, and there is a journey of five hundred years between each paradise, and there is a journey of five hundred years between the seventh paradise and the seventh paradise. … There is a journey of five hundred years between the thrones, and the throne is in the sky, and above the throne is Allaah, the Most High, and He knows what you are going through.”
There is clear evidence of His ascension, glory to Him, as the Almighty says: “He directs matter from heaven to earth, and it ascends to Him in a day equivalent to a thousand years.” What do you think? [السجدة: 5]It also includes the ascension of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to Paradise on the Night of the Navratri, and what the Almighty said to him.
There are clear evidences among them that He has ascended, and glory is to Him, such as when the Almighty says: “The good word ascends to Him.” [فاطر: 10].
There is clear evidence that Jesus (peace be upon him) has risen, glory be to him, as the Almighty says: “When God said, ‘O Jesus, I will indeed put you to death and raise you to life. A large book.'” [آل عمران: 55] “On the contrary, God has resurrected him,” said the Almighty. [النساء: 158].
There are clear evidences of this from His revelations in the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur’an (glory be to Him), such as the statement of Allah Almighty: “There is no god except Allah, the Everlasting, the Everlasting Gospel, which provides guidance and prescribes rules for the people. [آل عمران: 3- 4]These books were sent down from Almighty God, a descent from above to below, which shows the transcendence of Almighty God himself over his creation.
One of the innate signs is that in times of fear and hope the soul turns to God Almighty and lifts up its hands to Him in supplication, which is an innate thing a person does in times of fear, need, and supplication.
One of the marks of reason is that the high are praised, and the low are condemned. Therefore, the book of the righteous is in the highest heaven, and the book of the wicked is in the prisoner, and the prisoner is in the low earth, because God Almighty is more worthy of exaltation than his creatures, no matter who they are.
The nation’s predecessors, including the later companions, successors and Imams, all agreed to exalt the essence and attributes of Almighty Allah, that there is nothing higher than Him, and glory be to Him. Imam Ishaq ibn Rahawih said: “The consensus of the knowledgeable people is that He is placed on the throne and He knows everything at the bottom of the seventh earth.” Imam Abu Hanifa said: “Whoever says, ‘I do not know my Lord in heaven or on earth’ is a disbeliever.” Imam Malik said: “Allah is in the heavens and His knowledge is everywhere. There is no place without His knowledge.” Imam Shafi’i said: “Allah the Almighty sits on the throne in the heavens and He can approach His creation as He pleases and He can descend to the lowest heaven as He pleases.” Someone said to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal: “Is God above the seventh heaven, sitting on His throne, distinct from His creation, His power and knowledge of every place?” He said: Yes, He sits on the throne and there is nothing that He does not know.
We pray to Allah Almighty to guide us to the truth and to observe the Sunnah, we seek refuge in Him, glory be to Him, innovation, for He is the Hearer and the Answerer.
I say this to ask God’s forgiveness…
Second Sermon
=======
Praise be to Allah, a very good and blessed praise, as beloved and satisfied by our Lord, I bear witness that there is no god besides Allah, no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, may the Messenger of Allah be blessed. Prayers and peace be upon him and his family, companions and all those who are guided by them until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows: So fear God Almighty and obey Him, “and fear that one day you will return to God; then everyone will receive the full reward of his due, and they will not be wronged.” [البقرة: 281].
O Muslim: One of the effects of believing in the supremacy of Allah Almighty over His creation is: the servant’s identification with the Sunnah, observance of the Scriptures, following the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his following in the footsteps of the righteous predecessors of the Sahabi, successors and their followers. They all adhere to this belief; because the frequency of the texts is high and it is free from the words of heresy and misguided innovators who seek to mislead people about their faith and corrupt their religion for them.
Misguided innovators are those who until recently denied the supremacy of Almighty God over His creation. They do not openly preach this corrupt belief and do not spread it to the Muslim public at large, because they and those who took it from them are in evil. Yet today they actively mislead people about the faith, distorting the meaning of what they know from the texts of the Quran and the Sunnah, which prove the transcendence of Almighty Allah, and accusing them of philosophical obscurity and corrupt claims. They do not know that they claim this as rational evidence, even if they are not worthy of Almighty God and do not lead to glorifying Him, they deny the supremacy of Almighty God Himself over His creation, deny His place on His throne, distort the meaning of the verses and Hadiths contained therein, and lie to the righteous predecessors to make the public believe their heresy. They spread heretical beliefs through sermons, lectures, seminars, books and articles, and spread them through mass media. Some even turn the corrupted beliefs into circumambulation prayers, and some teach them while providing food and clothing to refugee children. Taking advantage of their needs and corrupting their faith with what he offers them. Therefore, people of true faith and monotheism must protect themselves and their children from listening to these corrupt innovators. The human heart is a hook for doubt and Almighty God has commanded us to stay away from people of lies. Almighty Allah says, “When you see those who delve into My verses, stay away from them until they delve into other conversations, otherwise Satan will make you forget, so do not remain silent after that and hate those who are immoral. [الأنعام: 68]Therefore, be careful not to sit with them or listen to their misleading ideas in any way, lest your heart be led astray by their doubts.
Pray and greet your Prophet…
