Ask a Shia

[Hadji]

Are the hands of humans and the hands of clocks the same?


From your link:

"Honor the cow, for it has not lifted its head to the sky since the [golden] calf was worshipped, out of shame (haya’) before Allah Mighty and Majestic" (Ijtima‘ al-juyush al-Islamiyya [Riyad: ‘Awwad ‘Abdullah al-Mu‘tiq, 1408/1988], 330), a forged (mawdu‘) hadith apparently intended to encourage Muslims to believe that Allah is floating about the sky.

I've looked this hadeeth up. It is not authentic. Yet, this hadeeth is not needed for Sunnis to believe that Allah (swt) is in the heavens.


I'm sure that you are aware of the hadeeth of the Prophet (pbuh) asking the <i>jariyah</i> about where is Allah (swt). She replied, "<i>Fil sama'a.</i>" Because of her answer, he accepted the truthfulness of her faith.


This hadeeth, and similar version of it, can be found in the works of Al Dhahabee, Abu Dawood, Ibn Khuzaimah, Imam Muslim and Al Haithamee.


This person obviously believes that Allah (swt) is "everywhere". If you are going to quote those from Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'a, I suggest you do so without referring to the flawed logic of Al Asha'ara and Al Ahbaash. The views of these few don't represent the rest of us.
