but, according to your claim, He brings the Resurrection. And His words:
‘Allah comes to them in canopies of clouds’
mean that Allah brings His command in canopies of clouds, but does not come Himself.
You then claimed that this has the same meaning as His words:
‘Allah came upon their building from its foundations’
(Surah al-Nahl: 26)
and:
‘Allah came upon them from where they had not expected.’
(al-Hashr: 2)
To this al-Marīsī we say: May Allah slay you! How audacious you are toward Allah and His Book, without knowledge or insight! Allah has told you that this is a coming, yet you say that it is not a coming, but is merely like His words:
‘Allah came upon their building from its foundations.’
(al-Nahl: 26)
You have indeed separated what Allah has joined together and joined together what Allah has distinguished. Only someone ignorant of the Quran and Sunnah would conflate these two interpretations, for the meaning of each is indicated by its context in the recited text. Only someone like you would fail to recognize this.
The Muslims have unanimously agreed that Allah is above His Throne, above His heavens, and that He does not descend before the Day of Resurrection to punish any of His creatures. They have had no doubt that He will descend on the Day of Resurrection to judge between His servants, call them to account, and recompense them. The heavens will split apart that Day for His descent, the angels will descend, and your Lord’s Throne will be borne
