enter Paradise.’ [3].
The Wahabi doctrine is embodied, or the
least that could be said is that their belief
about the Divine requires embodiment, for
they have made to Allah a hand and fingers
and a leg and that He sits on the throne and
… etc [2].
And their Imam Ibn Taymiyya said in the
book (Al’Aqida Al-Wasitiyya): ‘and also
[what] enters with what we have mentioned
about believing in Him and His Books and
His Angels and His Messengers, is believing
that the believers will see Him on the Day of
Resurrection, [they will] see Him with their
eyes with their own sights, just as they see
the sun shining with no clouds in it, and just
as they see the moon on the night of Badr,
they will not differ about/doubt seeing Him
(swt) when they are in the arena of the Day
of Resurrection, they will see Him after they
Notice the speech of Ibn Taymiyya ‘with
their eyes with their own sights’ and pay
attention to the fact that seeing with the eye
can not be except towards a certain direction
and for that reason one of their most
prominent scholars and he is Ibn Jibreen,
has clarified and declared with [full] clarity
that Allah is being looked towards in a
[specific] direction [4].
Thus, those people, because of their wrong
interpretation to some of the allegorical
words in the Divine Books, they have
demeaned [themselves]/gone down to this
doctrinal misguidance.
Ibn Taymiyya and the likes of him do not

the realities of the Heavenly realms in a lot
of times (I.e. Jesus, peace be upon him,
parables in the gospel), just as Allah talks to
His servants through Heavenly Inspiration
in visions (dreams, I.e. Joseph and Daniel,
peace be upon them in the Bible) [5] and
Kashf ([unveiling]), and nothing is similar
to Allah (swt) and His speech is not similar
to the speech of human beings, [so one can
not] measure/understand Allah’s (swt)
words according to the words ([and
meanings]) of the human beings, nor
interpret His words like how one interprets
the words of human beings, like those
ignorant [Wahabis] whom claim Knowledge
have done. Imam Ali (a.s) said: ‘… Beware
of interpreting the Qur’an according to your
opinion until you understand it from the
