Question:
Assalamualaikum sheikh,
Alhamdulillah as we know Allah taala is beyond space/time, beyond parts and limbs and absolutely unique.
I watched a sohbat of Mawlana once trying to wake up people with his words by saying that in hajj we don’t bow to kaaba but to the one in kaaba if I’m not mistaken. Now I’m sure that Mawlana Shaykh does not believe in hulul and it is a language of state.
Sometimes i feel that most of the intrinsic belief of believers are true but through pinpointing certain aspects a distance is created in the heart of the believers to their Lord. Like the story of Moosa alaihis salam and the man who asked, “Where is Allah’s feet that i may massage it?” and Moosa alaihis salam was angry at him. Now I’m not sure if this tradition is authentic, Allah taala knows best.
What is your take on the whole topic?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
The One ‘in’ the House is another way of saying the Lord ‘of’ the House.
