How can Allah's descent to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night be reconciled with the fact that the heavens and the earth are smaller than His Footstool, and how is this descent conceivable when the last third of the night is perpetual in different parts of the earth?

The questioner is thanked for his eagerness in seeking religious knowledge and comparing religions. He should begin by learning knowledge from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah (definition) of His Messenger under the guidance of a scholar. After mastering religious knowledge, he can then proceed to compare religions, while observing the principles of debating with the people of falsehood and directing them to the fundamental issues of faith.

There is no doubt about the greatness of Allah Almighty. Allah's descent is one of His actual attributes, the modality of which cannot be comprehended. The error lies in imagining the attribute of a created being and attributing it to the Creator.

Convincing disbelievers about matters of faith is a good thing, but it is not the primary responsibility of a Muslim; rather, his duty is to clarify. Many disbelievers witnessed miracles, yet they remained obstinate and arrogant.

A Muslim must be astute when debating with people of falsehood, drawing them towards what indicates the greatness of Allah. For if they acknowledge His greatness, they may then submit to His tidings.
