Bismillah.


IMAM SHAFI'I

Imam Shafi'i states in his "al-Fiqh al-akbar"; Whoever says; "Al-Rahmanu ala al arsh istawa", it is said to him; this verse is one of the mutashabih (ambiguous matter) concerning which one is preplexed to give an answer, and the same is said regarding similar verses.


IMAM GHAZALI

Imam Ghazali said in his "al-Iqtisad fi al-i'tiqad"; "The Hashwiyya asserted direction for Allah while guarding themselves from divesting Allah of His attributes (ta`til), falling thereby into likening Allah to creation (tashbih)".


IMAM ABUL-QASIM 'ALI IBNUL-HASSAN IBN HIBATILLAH IBN 'ASAKIR

Imam Abul-Qasim 'Ali Ibnul-Hasan Ibn Hibatillah Ibn 'Asakir said in his "Aqidah": "Allah existed before the creation. He does not have a before or an after, an above or a below, a right or a left, an in front of or a behind, a whole or a part. It must not be said when was He, where was He, or how was He. He exists without a place."


IBN HAJAR AL-ASQALANI

Ibn Hajar states in his "al-Fath al-Bari; "Some of the Mu'tazila have claimed that Allah was everywhere on the basis of the Hadith "if one stands in prayer, let him not spit in front of him for Allah is in front of him". This is evident ignorance, because the hadith then states that he should spit under his foot, which invalidantes their principle. The hadith also constitutes a refutation of those who say that Allah is on the Throne in person.

And he also states in the same book; "The fact that the two directions of "above" and "below" are inapplicable and impossible for Allah does not preclude His being described with the attribute of elevation (`uluw), for such description is only from the standpoint of the meaning of elevation, not that of sensory perception".


IBN AL-JAWZI

Ibn al-Jawzi says in his "Daf' shubah al-tashbih"; "Some claim the verses "Good words ascend to Him" (35:10) and "He is the Omnipotent over His servants" (6:18, 6:61) as proof that He is above in sensory fashion, forgetting that sensory aboveness is only applicable to bodies or atoms, and that aboveness can also be expressed for loftiness of rank".


IMAM AL-QURTUBI


Imam Al-Qurţubi (the famous mufassir) said; “It is said to them [the anthopomorphists who believe Aļļaah is in a place or direction, etc.]: “If Allaah was specified by a specification, formed by a form, limited by a limit and end, existing in a specific direction, [or] changing by emergent [previously non existing] attributes in Himself, then He would have been emergent and specified by whatever He was specified with in terms of quantity and form, and [thus] requiring a specifier [for the quantity and form], and if He required a specifier, then He would have been in need and emergent. And if this is invalid, then it is true that He is without a limit or an end, and that He is Self-existent in the sense that He does not need a place to confine Him or a body to be in, or something to hold Him, or another that He gets help from. His attributes of His self do not change by His actions or leaving them (Al-Asnaa, 2/21).”


MULLA 'ALI AL-QARI

Mulla 'Ali al-Qari states in "Sharh 'ayn al-'ilm"; "It is obligatory that you believe that your God... is not contained in any place or direction".

And He also states in "Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar"; "Allah is not located in a place, whether above or below, or any other than these, and time is inapplicable to Him, unlike what the mushabbiha and mujassima and hululiyya or incarnationists believe

He also cites in "Sharh al-Mishkat" al-hafiz Zayn al-Din al-'Iraqi's statement that all Four Imams agree that anyone who believes Allah lies in a specific direction has committed disbelief.


IMAM ZAYN AD-DIN IBN NUJAYM

Imam Zayn ad-Din Ibn Nujaym, the famous Hanafi scholar in his book "Al-Bahr ar­Ra'iq", on page 129 said: "Whoever says it is possible that Allah would do a doing in which there is no wisdom commits blasphemy, and also he commits blasphemy by affirming a place to Allah, the Exalted.


IBN HAZM AL-DHAHIRI


Ibn Hazm al-Dhahiri (d. 456), the arch-enemy of Ash`ari and the Ash`ari school, says in "al-Fasl fi al-milal"; "By no means whatsoever is Allah in a place or in a time. This is the position of the vast majority of the scholars (al-jumhur) and ours as well, and other than this position is not permissible, for anything other than it is false".


ABU BAKR IBN AL-'ARABI AL-MALIKI

Abu Bakr ibn al-'Arabi al-Maliki (d. 543) labels the believers in Allah's direction "followers of Pharaoh" in his "'Aridat al-ahwadh"i: "Your conclusion shows that you are indeed the followers of Pharaoh, who believed that the Creator lies in a certain direction, and so he desired to climb up to Him on a ladder. He congratulates you for being among his followers, and he is your imam!".


IMAM AL-HARAMAYN

Imam al-Haramayn said in his book "al-Irshad"; "The madhhab of the People of Truth (Ahl al-Sunna) is absolutely unanimous on the question that Allah is exalted above boundaries and above being characterized by directions. The Karramiyya and some of the Hashwiyya have said that He is bounded and that He is characterized by the direction of aboveness... and each of these two positions is tantamount to declaring that Allah has a dimension or that He has parts, and constitutes pure disbelief".


SULAYMAN IBN ABD ALLAH IBN MUHAMMAD IBN ABD AL-WAHHAB

Sulayman ibn Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (The grandson of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab) states; "Whoever believes or says; Allah is in person in every place, or in one place; he is a disbeliever. It is obligatory to declare that Allah is distinct from His creation. Established over His Throne without modality or likeness or examplarity. Allah was and there was no place,then He created place and He is exalted as He was before He created place".(al-Tawdih an tawhid al-khallaq fi jawab ahl al-iraq),


And Allah Knows Best.
