“Yet, they, [the people] certainly did not estimate Allah’s Supreme Authority correctly, when in fact, the entire earth is in his control on the Day of Judgment, and the heavens are all folded by His infinite Grace [and overall ruling command]. Most exalted is He, and He surely transcends all alleged partners they ascribe to Him”. (Qur’an 39:67)
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّـهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ
Friday Khutba by Shaykh Al-Akili on Friday November 30th, 2018 C.E. at Annoor Jami Mosque, the 22nd of Rabi’ul Awwal 1440 Hijri.
What does the Magnificence of Allah AwJ means?
The Majesty and Glory of the Divine Presence of Allah does not accept comparison, it does not resemble the creation, it does not correspond to any similarity whatsoever, it cannot be weighed by any scale, it cannot be opposed or contrasted with what the Lord Allah SwT created alone, it cannot be measured in any dimensions, it does not accept associations, it cannot be compassed with dimensions, it does not have boundaries or borders, it does not have sides, distance, space or proximity, the Majesty and Glory of our Lord is absolute… He has absolute mastery, dominion and control of everything. Facing our Lord, the Lord of Majesty and Glory, standing before the Divine Holy Countenance is meeting with reality, it has no directions, no parts, no right, no left, no above, no below, no front, no back, no surface, no depth, no dimensions, everything is His Holy Presence SwT, and His Holy attributes and Powers are the collective non intervallic ever Operating Divine Holy Powers, that is Allah Azza wa Jalla, that the Magnificence of Allah, the Lord of majesty and Glory. This is only a hint about the Divine Magnificence of the Majesty of Allah SwT.
Forgive me my Lord.
Shaykh Muhammad Al-Akili
