This poem by the great and knowledgeable Imaam, Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisee (d.620H), rahimahullah, promotes the correct belief of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah, Allaah is Above The Throne, With His Essence (Bi Dhaatihi), Separate and Distinct (Baa’in) From His Creation. This orthodox belief is unlike the misguided and deviated beliefs of the Jahmiyyah and Ash’ariyyah who read and translated the books of Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato and were poisoned by their thought, who they assumed were smart and sophisticated rational thinkers. The heretical doctrine of these misguided sects were based upon the flawed ideas of Aristotle’s Ten Categories (al-Maqoolaat al-Ashar) – (al-Jawhar wal-A’raad).
