Clearing Confusion

Part I
Abu Muhammad
 Starting Point
Clearing Confusion is a Part I of this presentation intends
great book authored by our to address the heretic
interpretation of some verses of
master, Sheikh Ibrahim the Holy Qurn by Ibn
Inyass(RA). Taymiyyah allerging:
This work is not a God Almighty mounts (sits) on
the divine throne!

God Almighty resulting from the
work, as done in other above, lives in the Heaven!!
fashions. Other anthropomorphic
It is extending the noble attributes were assigned to the
belief of God by Wahhabis
goal of the work to issues (followers of Ibn Taymiyyah)
that cause confusion in
Muslim World!
 The verses in focus

Quran 57:4

Quran 7:54
Quran 25:59
 The verses in Focus
There are several other
verses in similar fashion in
the holy Quran, however,
we illustrated only three
due to the following resons:
Qurn 7:54 grouping all the
verses where Divine name of
splendour i.e. Allah is
attached with the confused
phrase phrase
Quran 57:4 grouping all the
verses where no name of
God is mentioned rather the
pronoun HE attached with
the confused phrase.
Qurn 25:59 grouping all the
verses where the Divine
name Arrahman(The most
Gracious) is mentioned
attached with the confused
 The Heretic Interpretation
Ibn Taymiyyah puts the heretic
interpretations saying:
Allah
mounted(sat on) the
(Divine) throne.
In his collection of edicts
clearly defined
istiwah(which he referred to
as mounting) as synonym to
Julus(Sitting).
Muhammad the
messenger of God, His
God made him to sit on
the throne beside Him Ibn
Taymiyyah
 Analyzing the confused
Phrase
Alal Arsh istiway
) ( \ \ \ Subject Lord/ Allah/
( ) The Most Gracious/ He
Verb - To be well
- proportioned
Object Throne
Preposition over
This is the first step to understanding the phrase, next we move to derivatives of
these words that make up the phrase.
 Understanding the subject
The phrase is having three or In the four, only two are
four subjects anywhere it among the beautiful names
comes in the holy Qurn: of God that connects
He directly to His Essence
Allah (Allah and The Most
Gracious)
The Most Gracious
which is the dominant subject, He is a pronoun that can
then stand for any of the two.
Lord is sometimes joined Lord is a title that can be
with Allah joined with the two also.
So, conclusively, we have
two subject.
 Understanding the Subject

Allah The Most Gracious

All the 99 Divine names of Evidence of the two origin is
God can be traced back to found in Quran 17:110
only two names serving as Say (O! Muhammad SAW)
origin to the rest, these Invoke Allah or The Most
names are Allah & The Most Gracious .
Gracious.
 Understanding the subject
Sheikh Muhyiddeen bn Arabi (RA) while
commenting on Quran 17:110 explained the two
names stand for the rest of the divine names and
can therefore be their origins:
Names of Splendour ( )are traced back to
Allah which is the greatest name of splendour.
Names of majesty ( )are traced back to The
Most Gracious which is the greatest name of
majesty
 Understanding the subject
Allah
All divine names in this category are
showing divine attribute that :
is reserved to God alone, never
given to any creature in part or
temporal.
Any action through such attribute is
reserved for those reserved.
The attribute is not similar to that of
any creature.
Its judgement is final.
Its power is absolute and in full force
over everyone that is not God.
The Most Gracious
All divine names in this category are
showing divine attribute that:
Is not reserved, God can give part of
it to His creatures temporal or
permanent.
Any action through it is given out as
grace to every creature without
reservation.
The attribute can be similar to that of
some creatures.
Its judgement is NOT final
Its power is not absolute and not in
full force over all creatures

 Understanding the subject

The Most Gracious as a Divine name which other Divine
names of grace, traced back to it.
The names relevant to this phrase are: (The evolver,
creator, flawless Sharper, total Provider, Supreme Solver,
Extender, of creatures) in 6 days. In each day and each
creature the Divine grace becomes manifestly perfect.
The creatures are grouped into three sphere:
The Earthly creatures & Earth itself ()
The Heavenly creatures & Heavens ()
The creatures of Divine Throne & Divine Throne itself ()
 Understanding the verb
( )- To be well
proportioned
In the language of the
Holy Quran the verb
signifies comparism
between two or more
Qur; an 39:9
items to see which one
is more glamorous. As
seen in Quran 39:9
and,
Understanding the verb
Comparism for glamour
(No defect) between seeing
person and blind?

The seeing man is more
perfect than a blind and
Quran 16:76 not the seeing man
mounted the blind!
measurement of
equality while well
Quran 35:19 proportioned
measurement.
Understanding the verb
The verb appears in
past tense in Quran
18:96 until when he
proportionally filled
the gap between the
Quran 18:96 two mountain-cliffs(with
Molten iron) and not
until he mounted
the gap between the
two mountain-cliffs.
 Understanding the verb
If is a Divine action by God, not just
measurement of perfection, then we would
have the 100th name of God He who
mounts as Ibn Tayyimiyyah erroneously
interpret the verb.
All Divine actions are linked to Divine
names Sheikh Shareef Saleh(RA).
Understand the verb
Let us not use any derivative or
tense not as it appears in the
confused phrase/sentence, of the
verb in our understanding of
the verb, let us see how the Holy
Quran used it as it is, elsewhere
and whether the meaning is sitting
or mounting Quran 48:29.
and their description in the
Gospel is like a (sown)seed which
send forth its shoot and
straightened it and it stands firm on
its stalk, delighting the sowers .
No sitting, no mounting yet the verb
is . The growing of seed comes
to its fullest proportion when a fruit
stands on its stalk delighting
(glamour) the farmer, that is where
Ibn Tayyimiyyah could have looked.
Understanding the verb

Started as a sown seed,

Germinated and shot out, straight as a tree,
Then proportionally reached its glamour
when fruits grow and stand on the stalk
Understanding the verb

If Istiwa is mounting alias sitting then take

a look at the fruit is it sitting on the stalk?
And if it means sitting, will fruit sitting on
its stalk delight sowers(farmers) as the verse
mentioned?
Understanding the verb

If Ala means on top as Ibn Taymiyyah

alleged, is the fruit on top of the stalk, since
ala is used here too?
And will fruit on top of stalk delight sowers
(farmers) as the verse mentioned?
Glimpses of correct meaning
so far
The Divine graces of
creating the Heavens
and the Earth and what
is between them in six
days, by the Most
Gracious, becomes
proportionally perfected
with the creation of the
Divine Throne.
 Understanding the object
If the Earthly creatures, Earth,
Heavenly creatures and
Heavens are removed what is
left is the Throne and creatures
of the Throne.
The removed are so tiny like a
needle compared to throne and
creatures of the throne.
The divine graces started
creation of Earth & Earthly
creatures. Its perfection started
manifesting as creation proceeds
to Heaven & its creatures.
The Divine perfection in The Most
Gracious evolving and creating the
Divine Throne and its creatures is
fullest and that is where The Most
Gracious is used as subject.
The Most Gracious can be traced
back to the name Allah, and the
fullest grace wouldnt be final and
reserved to God alone if only The
most Gracious is used as subject,
that is why the name Allah &
sometimes with title Lord is used
as subject Final and Reserved to
God alone!
 Understanding the object
The Throne is a mighty horizon,
mightier than the Heavens and
Earth put together and creatures
found with the Throne are
themselves mighty.
Quran 23:86
The grace of The Most Gracious
in evolving and creating them is Say (Muhammad SAW): Who is the
proportionally perfect. Lord of the seven Heavens and the
Proportional because it starts Lord of the Tremendous Throne
from Earth, then Heaven and
finally fullest on Throne!
Understanding the object

Quran 20:5
 Understanding the preposition
Quran 2:29
He is the one who created for you every
creature on Earth and proportionally
progress to (the creation of) Heaven and
He fashioned it into seven Heavens.
The prepositions from(), to()
and over( )are special Arabic
prepositions in the context of the
holy Quran, they assume
meaning based on the sentence
they found themselves.
If precedes then it
means the peak or zenith of a
progressive and proportional
item.
When it precedes it means
the glamour has not reached
its peak, but it has progress.
When it precedes it means
the starting point of glamour.
Understanding the preposition
The Most Gracious graces
of evolving and creating the
Earth and Earthly
creatures, is the beginning
of divine glamour.
His creation of the Heaven
and Heavenly creatures is
with more glamour.

His creation of Throne and
creatures of the throne is
glamour at its peak.

Understanding the preposition
6 Days ? He created the Earth in 2
God in His Divine graces,
days and Earthly creatures
evolved and created the Earth, in 2 days.
Earthly creatures, Heavens & The Heavens and
Heavenly Creatures in 6 days, Heavenly creatures that
what happened with the last day,
since 7 days make a week.
are more mightier and
This confused Christians when
complex in 2 days.
they read it in Books of The Throne and its
Moses(AS) and they said He rest creatures that are mightiest
on the 7th day. and most complex in 1 day
God did not rest(for He is never
7 days complete
tired and does not need rest)
 Full understanding

The Most Gracious graces (of evolving and

creation of creatures) proportionally becomes
perfect and alluring with (the creation of) the
Throne.
English language cannot take the full rhetoric of the composition of the Qur anic
Arabic sentence , because is only four words that convey the lengthy explanation.
Confusion cleared!
