He is with His creation by His Knowledge, while He is above them, not within HIs created realm Himself.

Allah is with some of His creation in a special way (of support and assistance).

Being with them necessitates that He shares the same physical space with them.

He is with His entire creation by way of His Knowledge.

Allah is not really "with" His creation; it is only a figure of speech.

He is with the disbelievers, by way of His Seeing and Hearing.

4 / 9

Which of the following is correct regarding the belief that Allah actually descends to the lowest heaven every night?

We believe in it, as it was authentically reported, without asking, "How?"

The meaning of Allah's "descending" is that His Command descends.

When Allah descends, He is no longer above His Throne.

Allah cannot descend, since He is above the creation.

5 / 9

Is it a valid and legitimate question to ask someone, "Where is Allah?"

No, this is never appropriate.

Yes, it was a good innovation introduced in the third century.

No, this is only appropriate for scholars of theology.

Yes, it was a method used by the Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) to verify the correctness of a person's belief.

6 / 9

What is correct about the attribute of Allah's "laughter" which has been reported in some Hadeeth narrations?

To affirm such an attribute would require tash-beeh, that we consider Allah to be similar to His creation.

Those reports are not authentic.

He truly laughs in a manner that befits His Majesty.

He does not actually laugh; it is understood to be His divine approval.

7 / 9

What is the meaning of Allah's Name, al-Baatin (الباطن)?

This is not actually one of His Names.

The One who is close/near.

The One who is absent and hidden.

The One who is the Lowest, while He is the Most Lofty.

8 / 9

When does the Hellfire say, "Enough! Enough!"?

After the first person is thrown into it.

When Allah places His Foot over it.

When it is full of people and Jinn.

This does not happen; the Hellfire cannot speak.

9 / 9

The authentic narrations from the Sunnah which describe Allah:

must be accepted and believed in, all of them.

are good to read, but not necessary.

are sometimes in contradiction to the Quran.

are incomprehensible, and so we accept them without understanding their basic meanings.
