”Our Lord descends every night to the heaven of this world when the last third of the night is still to come and says, “Who will call me so that I may answer him? Who will ask Me so that I give him? Who will ask forgiveness of Me so that I may forgive him”- Saheeh Bukhari.
- Allaah descends without Him leaving the Throne, He remains above the Throne (which is above the seven heavens)
- Allaah descends without coming under or beneath the heaven – and as the Salaf said to the Jahmiyyah who raised such doubts in relation to the nuzool (coming down), “We believe in a Lord who does whatever He wills”
- To all people in all parts of the earth, alongside the variation in the night and day, Allaah’s descent is for them during the last third of their night – and we are not able to understand the kaifiyyah (howness) of that – just like we are not able to understand the kaifiyyah (howness) of how Allaah will do the hisaab (accounting) of all the people at the same time.
