From `Abdul `Aziz Bin `Abdullah Ibn Baz to our dear brother, His Excellency the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Information for Radio Affairs, may Allah guide him to what pleases Him, amen.
Assalamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)
Please find the attached memorandum sent to me by a brother in which he mentions that he heard on Monday 28/6/1411 A.H. from 07:20 to 07:25 a person asking his father about Allah (may He be Praised). The father answered that Allah (may He be Praised) exists everywhere and at all times. There is no doubt that this is a Batil (null and void) answer. This is the claim of those who commit Bid`ah, such as AlJahmiyyah (A Muslim sect), AlMu'tazilah, and those who adopted their way.
The correct viewpoint adopted by Ahl AlSunnah walJama`ah (those adhering to the Sunnah and the Muslim community) is that Allah (may He be Praised) is established above the `Arsh (Allah's Throne) and above all His creatures as supported by Qur'anic Ayahs, Prophetic Hadiths, and Ijma` (consensus) of the Salaf (righteous predecessors)
Indeed, your Lord is Allâh, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty).
To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allâh unless and until they are followed by good deeds)
Do not you trust me though I am the trustworthy man of the One in the Heavens...?
