Salafis Say Allah Sits on the Throne !!!!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Its common amongst the Salafis to hide their true creed and what their scholars really believed about Allah and the Throne, So let’s unveil the hidden beliefs of the Salafs and how they are similar to the Mujasima of the past that say Allah sits on the Throne

ie: Scans below

Abdul-Rahman al-Sa’di: الأجوبة السعدية عن المسائل الكويتية Pg: 147 Btw this is the same person who wrote Tafsir Al Sadi

“We Believe that he ascended (Istiwa) over the throne in a manner befitting his majesty, whether this is explained by elevation, or his exaltation over the throne, or stability, or by sitting”

نثبت أنه على عرشه استواء يليق بجلاله ، سواءً فسر ذلك : بالارتفاع ، أو بعلوه على عرشه ، أو بالاستقرار ، أو الجلوس

Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Rajhi: قدوم كتائب الجهاد لغزو أهل الزندقة Pg: 101 This Book is also presented by Salih Al Fawzan

Question: The ayah: “Ar-Rahmanu Alal Arshi Istawa” Does Istiwa mean Sitting?

Answer: “This speech is SAHIH and there is no doubt about it! Yes, Istiwa is by sitting and this is one of the meanings of Istiwa.”

وهل يكون الا ستواء إلا بجلوس? وهذا كلامٌ صحيح لا غبار عليه , نعم وهل يكونٌ الاستواء إلا بجلوس وهذا من معاني الاستواء.

Ibn Uthaymeen: كتاب مجموع فتاوى ورسائل العثيمين Vol 1 Pg: 135

“Ibn al-Qayyim has reported in As-Sawaaiq 1303/4 from Kharijah bin Mus’ab with respect to the saying of Allah the Exalted: The ayah: Ar-Rahmanu Alal Arshi Istawa, “How can the ascension (Istiwa) be anything other than sitting?” and the mention of sitting has been reported in the Hadeeth from Imam Ahmad from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, in a Marfu’ fashion. And Allah Knows best”

أما تفسيره بالجلوس فقد نقل ابن القيم في الصواعق ٤ \ ١٣٠٣ عن خارجة بن مصعب في قوله تعالى: {الرحمن على العرش استوى} قوله: “وهل يكون الاستواء إلا الجلوس” ا. هـ. وقد ورد ذكر الجلوس في حديث أخرجه الإمام أحمد عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما مرفوعا. والله أعلم.

Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak: شرح العقيدة التدمرية Pg: 283

In some of the narrations, It is mentioned that sitting is proven to Allah the Almighty, and that He sits on His throne as He wills, Glory be to Him…. But it is better to stop using this word unless it is proven.

ورد في بعض الآثار نسبة الجلوس إلى الله تعالى، وأنه يجلس على كرسيه كيف شاء سبحانه….لكن الأولى التوقف في إطلاق هذا اللفظ إلا أن يثبت

These are just some of the many cases we find salafi scholars themselves say Allah sits, They try to prove this despicable belief by using reports that are completely weak and untrustworthy!

Let’s see what the major scholars of Ahlul Sunnh had to say about those who believe Allah sits:

Imam Al Nisaburi: الغنية في أصول الدين Pg: 73

“In contrast the Karamiyyah, the Hashwiyyah, and the Mushabihah (All the anthropomorphists), who said that Allah has a direction which is above And some of them believed in the saying that he is sitting on the throne, And Allah the Almighty is settled (Istiqara)”

للكرامية والحشوية والمشبهة الذين قالوا أن لله جهة فوق وأطلق بعضهم القول بأنه جالس على العرش مستقر عليه

Imam Ibn Asakir: تبيين كذب المفتري فيما نسب إلى الأشعري Pg: 150

“Al-Hashwiyya and Al-Mujsama (Anthropomorphits)said: He, Glory be to Him, is upon the Throne, and that the Throne is a place (Makan) for Him and He is sitting upon it“

الحشوية والمجسمة إنه سبحانه حال في العرش وإن العرش مكان له وهو جالس عليه

Now this sounds extremtly simlar to the modern day Salafi movement!!!
