Sahih al-Bukhari 4848
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4848
----------------
The Kursi is the place of the feet of Allah, and the size of Throne cannot be known.”
This was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah in at-Tawhid, 1/248, no. 154 and Hakim in Mustadrak. He classed it as authentic according to the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim and Dhahabi has agreed with him.
Question: second hadith mentions a pair of foot, first mentions only one foot.. does the second foot stay on Kursiy?

The first Shaitan (Iblis) knows Allah is real and makes humans and jinns disbelieve in Allah. When we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, the shayateen will go away from our house for a couple of days.

Was the world created from god?
If in the beginning there was only god and god is boundless and without end, then this means "nothing" didn't exist. Only finite things have boundaries outside of which that thing ceases to be.

If in the beginning there was only god and god is boundless and without end, then this means "nothing" didn't exist. Only finite things have boundaries outside of which that thing ceases to be. Even if we assume that God is separate from his being somehow it would be more like panentheism like god is a pregnant mother. And remember that god can't do logically contradictory things. This problem is talked about in sufism and I think tzimzum of isaac of luria. What is the orthodox Islamic perspective on this, how do the theologians handle this one ?

> > Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! > Send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect. **Surah Ahzaab verse 56** I have to think about this from a long time why Allah has to send his blessing toward Muhammad (saw). I mean Allah have All the power of the world and he accepts all blessing of mankind and every other living thing, then why He have to send his blessing?I am sorry if I did not get the proper translation cause I don't know how to speak Arabic.

Attributes of Allah similar to creation in purpose?
Someone asked me this and I don't really have an answer to this, they asked that if there is nothing similar to Allah (SWT) then for example speech Allah's (SWT) speech is nothing like ours but there is a similarity in purpose which is communication, so does this count as a similarity?

Does Allah have a loin or loincloth as stated in Sahih Bukhari, Book 65, Hadith 4879?
There is a tradition from [Sahih Bukhari, Book 65, Hadith 4879][1] > **حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَرَّدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ > يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى > الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " خَلَق...

According to *Almaany Online Arabic Dictionary* the Arabic word "حَقو", [means](http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=arabic&word=%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%88&lang_name=English&type_word=0&dspl=0) 'groin' and 'loin'.
*Google Translate* (which admittedly doesn't have a scholarly-authored glossary but one that reflects languages as commonly used by internet users) [returns](https://translate.google.com/#ar/en/%D8%AD%D9%8E%D9%82%D9%88) 'waist' and 'loin'.
I also looked up the word "الحقو" in an Arabic Dictionary (?) and this was the definition:
> الحقو- بفتح المهملة و سكون القاف-: موضع شد الإزار، و هو الخاصرة، ثم توسعوا حتى سموا الإزار الذي يشد على العورة" حقوا" و الجمع" أحق" و"
> حقي" مثل فلس و أفلس و فلوس، و قد يجمع على" حقاء" كسهام.
>
>is the place where the loincloth is fasten which is waist, then they extended it to name the loincloth itself ...
But in the translation offered by [Sunnah.com](http://sunnah.com/urn/45090) , it seems that the word 'حقو' is entirely ignored which could be an indication that their translation is not literal but interpretive, i.e. how this particular translator understands and interprets the hadith.
But since a physical part or object is attributed to Allah in the original Arabic version of the hadith, what does it mean? Does it meant that Allah have indeed physical parts or belongings, or else?

> The Prophet ﷺ was asked, “Where was Allah before He created His creation?’ He said: “He was above the clouds, below which was air, and above which was air. Then He created His Throne above the water.” (Sunan Ibn Majah )
According to this Hadith, before he created his creation, there was already water, clouds, and air. So, were these also created or always there?
