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 hadith 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.
