Re: various ‘schools’ of thought in Islam

Please read my last post again.

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

So, if Allah has no limits, no ends, neither he is contained by any direction (as mentioned above)… than it is clear that … Allah engulfs everything he created in all directions .. as no direction or space can contain him … that means Allah is everywhere, as being or thing that is not present everywhere is contained by direction and space to exist at a place somewhere … so how can it is possible that Allah is not everywhere and would be contained somewhere in any direction?

Actually, those who give direction to Allah, contains Allah in that direction, and those who give space (Allah is somewhere and not everywhere) contains Allah in space. In both cases, they also give perimeter to Allah … that means outer boundary or body of some sort, as such body with perimeter is needed for a being to have direction and place in space.

Those who have no direction nor any space is containing them, they are everywhere, and that being is only one, that is Allah, not contained by any direction or space … the one whose existence has no ends in time, space or distance. Actually, they are beyond direction or place … as they are beyond time, space and distance.

Peace Sa1eem

Your understanding is correct but I feel the choice of language is wrong …

As far as the logicians are concerned “everywhere” means “all places” you saying “everywhere” does not mean all places so that is fine with me … you see, this is how easy it is to accept people - and that is how you should treat others too … try to understand giving benefit of doubt to the other.

So you see I believe in the same point of aqeedah so what is the problem? Is your table correct? If so we need to understand what it is we are refuting … agreed I heard some Salafis say - Allah (SWT) is over the Throne, what they mean by that - it is better to ask them.
