Re: various ‘schools’ of thought in Islam
Peace Sa1eem brother
It is all well and good that you know “your” aqeedah better than me … but the problem is you are not referring to your “Ahl-us-Sunnah - Barelvi” books of aqeedah - instead you have given me your own ijtihad on the matter by presenting me the verses. As far as I know the Barelvis I know accept Aqeedah At-Tahawiya like I do and this is what is states in there:
63 – He is clear of being attributed with having limits, nor ends, nor having parts, nor organs, nor limbs. Nor is He contained by the six directions as all created things are
Explanation:
This is clear in stating the Muslim’s belief that unites of measurements cannot apply to Him, whether it is distance, time or otherwise. No ends, no restrictions, no confinement in space or place, no organs, no parts, no limbs, nor do the six directions apply to Him. The six directions are above, below, front, back, right and left. All these things are a creation of Allah, and a creation cannot be an attribute to The Creator. That would mean that The Creator and the creation are equal in that attribute which contradict the Qur’an, Sunnah, the sound intellect, and the meaning of God.
