Please comment on the Salafi teaching that Allah Ta'ala is only on the Throne.

Answer

In brief, the belief of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah is that Allah Ta'ala is not confined to space or to a particular spot in space such as the created Arsh. The Arsh and space are creations of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala is not confined to His creation. The belief that Allah Ta'ala is sitting on the Throne is baseless. This idea attributes human form, limitation and defect to Allah Ta'ala. The safest is not to probe issues which are beyond the understanding of our created, finite and limited minds. No one can ever fathom the infinite Zaat (Being) and Sifaat (Attributes) of Allah Ta'ala, The Eternal Being.
