Where is God when the eight angels carry His Throne, based on His saying, the Most High: "And eight will uphold the Throne of your Lord above them on that Day"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty is above all His creation, established over His magnificent Throne, and He has angels who carry it. The Throne and its bearers are created, and Allah is independent of them. It is He who enabled them to carry it through His power and will. It is mentioned in the that the bearers of the Throne are currently four, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be eight. Allah Almighty is not carried by the Throne or by the angels through their own inherent strength; rather, they carry it by Allah Almighty's power and will.
