Ibn Taymiyyah on the One Who Believes in 'al-Jihah'

(Direction) for Allaah

Taken from: www.aqidah.com

There occurs Majmoo' ul-Fataawaa (5/262), a question posed to Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn
Taymiyyah, under the chapter heading, "Issue: The one who believes in al-jihah (for
Allaah), is He an innovator or a disbeliever?"

Shaykh ul-Islaam was asked about the one who believes in al-jihah (for Allaah), is He an
innovator or a disbeliever?

So he responded:
Which translates:

As for the one who believed in al-jihah (for Allaah), then if he believes that Allaah is
within the created beings, being contained by the created things, and being encompassed
by the heavens, such that some of the created things are above Him and some of them are
beneath Him, then he is a straying innovator.

Likewise, if he believes that Allaah is in need of anything to carry Him - [in need] of the
Throne and other than it - then he is also a straying innovator.

And likewise, if he made the attributes of Allaah to be like the attributes of the creatures,
saying: The istiwaa (ascent) of Allaah is like the ascent of the creation, or His Nuzool
(descent) is like the descent of the creation and what is like this, then he is a straying
innovator.

For verily, the Book and the Sunnah, alongside [sound] intellect indicate that nothing from
the created things are like Allaah in anything from the affairs, and they indicate that Allaah
is free of need (ghaniyy) from everything, nad they indicate that Allaah is separate from the
created things, exalted, high above them.

And if he believes that the Creator, the Exalted, is separate and distinct (baa'in) from the
created things, and that He is above His heavens, over His Throne, separate from His
creatures, and that there is nothing from His essence inside the creatures, and that nothing
from the creatures are inside His essence, and that Allaah is free of need of the Throne and
everything that is besides it, not being dependent upon anything from the creatures - rather
that He, alongside His istiwaa over the Throne, carries the Throne and the carrieres of the
Throne with His power, and he does not liken the istiwaa of Allaah with the istiwaa of the
creatures. Rather, he affirms for Allaah what He affirmed for Himself of Names and
Attributes, and negates from Him any likeness to the creatures, and he knows that there is
no likeness unto Allaah, neither in His Essence, His Attributes or His Actions, then such a one
is correct in his belief, in agreement with the Salaf of the Ummah and its leading scholars.
