Can anyone share the whole lecture link? May Allah bless you.

It'll likely be within his Aqidah Tahawi lessons, which is a full-on 126-part series available on the Islam Tees website. He's currently teaching Taqrib Tadmuriyyah, which covers the same topics about Allah's Attributes and has gone past 50 lessons so far, on the same website. Unable to share links in YT comments, as the algorithm auto-deletes them.

In the of the farewell pilgrimage (Hajj), the Prophet -Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ”I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say?“ They (the audience) said: “We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel.” He (the narrator) said: **“He (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the Heaven, and pointed it at the people (saying) : ”O Allah, be witness. O Allah, be witness,“ saying it thrice.** [Sahih Muslim] Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq (radhi allahu anhu): Abdullah Ibn Umar -May Allah be pleased with him- reported: “When the Messenger of Allah - Sallallahu Alaihi wa-Sallam- passed away, Abu Bakr - May Allah be pleased with him- ascended the minbar, praised Allah and said: «O people ! if Muhammad was your god whom you worship then your god has died, and if your God is the one above the heaven (fis-sama') then your God did not die. Then he recited: {Muhammad is not but a messenger. (Other) messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels (to unbelief)?…} [3:144]’ until he completed the ayah.» (1) Its isnad (chain) is hasan. Abu Hanifah An-Nu`man (d. 150 H.) : At-Tahawi said in “Al-Aqeedah At-Tahawiyah”, in which he wrote the beliefs of Imam Abu Hanifah and his two companions: Abu Yusuf and Muhammad bin Al-Hasan : “And the Throne and Kursi are true, and He is independent from the Throne and what is beneath it, He encompasses everything ( Is above it.) ”His saying: “And Is Above it” meaning: “He is above everything” is affirmation of the elevation of Allah Azza wa Jal above all of creation, including the Throne. Ibn Jarir At-Tabari (d. 310 H.) said: “and His saying {Adh-Dhahir}, He is saying: And He is dhahir over everything below Him, and He is High above everything, nothing is higher than Him. {Al-Batin} He is saying: and He is the batin of everything, nothing is nearer to anything than Him, as He said: {And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein} [50:16].” (2) How is Allah with you? Allah is with you with His Attributes, & He is Above the 7 Heavens, and He commands us to pray to Him alone! Quran 20 :46 - He (Allah) said: "Fear not, verily I am with you both, hearing and seeing.

At-Tahawiyy says in his Creed that none of the six directions contain God.

[@Salafiyahisthehaqq]

Get sheikh fawzans explanation and there is your answer. He also says that he is above the arsh.

[@Mozee854]

Direction doesn't exist outside of the creation. So Allah is Above His Throne Over His creation, separate and distinct from it.

[@KandahariHadithLover]

The cardinal directions are a human invention for travel. The 6 cardinal directions do not include anything outside the earths atmosphere. Allah ﷻ is above the throne above the creation. East west north south is only in relation to earth and a human invention.

[@AbuNooh2]

Because direction doesn’t exist, if something is to the right, if you go to the right far enough now it is on the left etc

Prophet peace and blessings be upon him went past Angel JIbreel Alehas Salam in sidratul Muntaha at one Point where no creation has gone before and spoke to Allah, Allah's Hijab is Nur! And Beleivers will see Him on judgement day and In Jannah. Allah is separate from creation and limitations, as For Tawhid Asma wa Siffat, the Ahlul Kalam greek philosophy followers predicted in hadiths just like the sufis imitating magian shias need to return to Quran... Quran 53 : 12. Will you then dispute with him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about what he saw [during the Mi'raj: (Ascent of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to the seven heavens)] 13. And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] at a second descent (i.e. another time). 14. Near Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (a lote-tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass). Plenty of Hadiths Mention Miraj as well! With Regards to Tawhid Asma wa Siffat or Names and Attributes : Quran 20 : 8 - Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names. There were various Ayat/ Quranic Verses mentioning Allah's Names, Attributes &/ Actions. The term, Bism - illahir Rahmanir Rahim - With the Name of Allah The Most, Gracious Most Merciful of another translation : Surah 1 : 3 - Ar Rahmanir Rahim ( Full of Mercy /Grace , Bestower of Mercy.) Surah 1: 4 - Master (Maliki) of the Day of Judgement! - The belief in the After life is in its core based on this. Surah 55 : 27 - And the *Face* of your Lord full of Majesty and Honour will remain forever. The 4 basic Principles points for Tawhid Asma wa Siffat : So we Affirm Allah's Names & Attributes & avoid 1) Tatil - or don't Deny Allah's Names and attributes. (Quran 7 :180) 2) Tasbih - or don't Likening Allah but Affirm Allah's Speech. (Quran 42 :11) 3) Tahrif - or don't distort Allah's Names & attributes outside of text. (Quran 7:33) 4) Takyif - or don't ask how about Allah & the ghaib what Allah hasn't revealed (How would the creation even know?) - (Quran 17 :36). In this Life Allah is from the unseen Above the Throne, though we will see Allah in the hereafter! Quran 67 : 12 - Verily, those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His punishment in the Hereafter), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise). Quran 16 : 50 - They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded. Quran 20 : 5 - The Most Gracious (Allah) rose over (Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). Quran 75 : 22 - Some faces that Day (Judgement day) shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant). 23 - Looking at their Lord (Allah). Among the first attributes many of us learn is Allah is the Most high above the Throne, Even Musa taught this to Firaun. Those who Negate Allah's highness is like Firaun. Quran Surah 40 Ghafir 36. And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "O Haman! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways - 37. "The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses): But verily, I think him to be a liar." Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path; and the plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him). We Worship Allah the way He has commanded (For Allah Alone) : Quran 6 : 162 - Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (all that exists). 163 :"He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims." The Most pivotal command is to call to worshiping Allah your Creator Alone, making Him your God alone, understanding & serving Him as He taught! This is of course based on Quran and Sunnah. Quran 2 : 1. الم Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.] 2. This is the Book (the Qur'an), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun. [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].
