*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Names and Attributes of Allaah,- Is the Throne above the seventh heaven? .
Is the Throne above the seventh heaven?.
Praise be to Allaah.
One of the things concerning which there is no doubt is that the
Throne is above the seventh heaven; indeed it is the highest of all
created things.
There is clear evidence that points to this:
It was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2581) that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: The Messengerof Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "In Paradise there are one hundred levels
that Allaah has prepared for the mujaahideen who strive for the sake
of Allaah. (The distance) between each two levelsis like the distance
between the heavens and the earth. When youask of Allaah, ask Him
foral-Firdaws for it is in the middle of Paradise and is the highest
part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful and from
it spring forth the rivers ofParadise.
It is affirmed by all the Muslims that Paradise is above the seventh
heaven, so if the Throne is above Paradise, then the Throne must also
be above the seventh heaven.
This idea is further supported by the report narrated by Muslim in his
Saheeh (4136) from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbaas who said: A man from among
the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), one of theAnsaar, told me that the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "… But when our Lord, may
His name be blessed and exalted, decrees something, the bearers of the
Throne glorify Him, then the people of the heaven that is closest to
them glorify Him, until the tasbeeh reaches this lowest heaven
(al-sama' al-dunya). Then those who are closest to the bearers of the
Throne say to the bearers of the Throne: 'What did your Lord say?' So
they tell them what He said. Thenthe people of the heavens ask one
anotheruntil the news reaches this lowest heaven.'" This very clearly
indicates that the Throne and its bearers are above all the heavens.
Ibn Khuzaymah narratedin his Saheeh (9105) andin his Kitaab
al-Tawheed(no. 594) that Ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: "Between the lowest heaven and the one above it is (a distance
of)five hundred years, and between each heaven and the next is (a
distance of) five hundred years marching." According to another
report: "The thickness of each heavenis a distance of five hundred
years marching. Between the seventh heaven and the Footstool
(al-Kursiy) is (a distance of) five hundred years. Between the
Footstool and the water is (a distance of) five hundred years. The
Throne is above the water and Allaah is above the Throne, and none of
your deeds are concealed from Him." It was classed as saheeh
byal-Dhahabi in al-'Alw (p. 64) and by Ibn al-Qayyimin Ijtimaa'
al-Juyoosh al-Islamiyyah, p. 100.
Al-Dhahabi narrated in al-'Alw (al-Mukhtasar, 35) that 'Abd-Allaah ibn
'Amr said: Allaah created the water above the seven heavens, and He
created the Throne above the water." Shaykh al-Albaani said: Its
isnaad is saheeh.
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) have stated that the
Throne covers all of creation and is above it. Ibn al-Qayyim (may
Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma'aad (4/203):
The Throne is the roof ofcreation and the greatest of created things.
The same was stated by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah in Majmoo'
al-Fataawa, 6/581, 25/1998.
It was also stated by Ibn Katheer in al-Badaayah wa'l-Nahaayah, 1/9,
11; and by Ibn Abi'l-'Izz in Sharh al-'Aqeedah al-Tahhaawiyyah, 1/311.
See: Mukhtasar al-'Alw by al-Dhahabi; al-Tawheed by Ibn Khuzaymah;
Ijtimaa' al-Juyoosh al-Islamiyyah by Ibn Al-Qayyim.
Praise be to Allaah.
One of the things concerning which there is no doubt is that the
Throne is above the seventh heaven; indeed it is the highest of all
created things.
There is clear evidence that points to this:
It was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2581) that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be

that Allaah has prepared for the mujaahideen who strive for the sake
of Allaah. (The distance) between each two levelsis like the distance
between the heavens and the earth. When youask of Allaah, ask Him
foral-Firdaws for it is in the middle of Paradise and is the highest
part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful and from
it spring forth the rivers ofParadise.
It is affirmed by all the Muslims that Paradise is above the seventh
heaven, so if the Throne is above Paradise, then the Throne must also
be above the seventh heaven.
This idea is further supported by the report narrated by Muslim in his
Saheeh (4136) from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbaas who said: A man from among

Throne say to the bearers of the Throne: 'What did your Lord say?' So
they tell them what He said. Thenthe people of the heavens ask one

What are the meanings of Allaah’s names al-Muqaddim and Mu’akhkhir? .,Names and Attributes of Allaah,-
What are the meanings of Allaah's names al-Muqaddim (the Expediter,
the One Who brings forward) and al-Mu'akhkhir (the Delayer, the One
Who puts back)?
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah is the One Who gives precedence to whatever has to be given
precedence with regard to rulings and the order of things, as and how
He likes. Whatever He gives precedence to should begiven precedence,
and whatever He gives less priority to should be given less priority.
He is the One Who puts back what has to be put back,and there is
wisdom andgoodness in whatever He does, even though the purpose of
that wisdom and goodness may be hidden from us.
Allaah is the One Who sends down events, expediting or delaying them
as He wills, in accordance with His decree which came before He
created all things. He gives preference to those among His close
friends (awliya') whom He loves over others among His slaves; He
raises some of His created beings aboveothers in status; He brings
forward those whom He wills to higher ranks and He keeps down those
whom He wills; He postpones things from their expected times because
in His wisdom He knows the consequences of the delay. None can bring
forward what He puts back and none can put back what He brings
forward.
Taqdeem (expediting, bringing forward) includes:
Al-taqdeem al-kawni (universal bringing forward): such as creating
some created beings over others, making cause precede effect,
conditions precede results, etc.
Al-taqdeem al-shar'i (preference in status): such as giving a higher
status to some Prophets over others, and giving all Prophets a higher
status than other people,and giving a higher status to some people
than others, all in accordance with His Wisdom.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
He is the Expediter and the Delayer, and these are two qualities of His deeds
As well as being attributes of His Essence.
