(15/17) The Sunni Belief over the Centuries - Islam

Among The Sunniyy Scholars of the 13th Century is the great Malikiyy Scholar, Shaykh Abul-Barakat Ahmad Ibn Muhammad ad-Dardir who died in the hijri year 1201. He said In his well-known poem called 'al-Kharidah al-Bahiyyah' :Allah is clear from occupying a place and a direction. Moreover, In his book 'Sharh al-^Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah' (The explanation of at-Tahawiyy creed) the great Hanafiyy scholar from Damascus, Shaykh ^Abdul-Ghaniyy al-Ghunaymiyy al-Maydaniyy who died in the hijri year 1298, said: Allah, the Exalted, is not a body, therefore to see Allah is different than to see the created bodies. Any seeing must be in accordance with the attributes of what is seen. Therefore, the creation which is in a certain place and direction cannot be seen except in that place and direction as part of its attributes. However, Allah, who does not have a body or shape and who exists without a place or direction is seen without Him existing in a place or in a set direction. This is --the belief- that the muslim sunni scholars unanimously follow!! ALLAH EXISTS WITHOUT A PLACE.
