Is Allah above Paradise or inside it, and is the belief that Allah is greater than the universe part of the creed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One must believe that Allah the Most High is the Exalted, the Most High, and that He ascended over the Throne, above all things. He is the Great, the Magnificent, than whom there is none greater. He will grasp the heavens and the earth with His hands on the Day of Resurrection. It is impossible for Him to indwell in any of His creations, for He is above the Throne, which is the ceiling of Paradise. It is not permissible to contemplate the essence of Allah or to imagine His greatness, for the human intellect is incapable of grasping the reality of the Divine Essence, Attributes, and their modalities.
