Hence Surat Taha, ayah 5, in the Qur'an, does NOT mean
that Allah sits on the throne or that Allah is firmly
established on the throne, rather it means to
subjugate and preserve the throne.
*In the Arabic language, the word istawa has fifteen (15) different
meanings, among of which are to sit, to subjugate, to protect, to
conquer, and to preserve. Because sitting is from the attributes of the
creations and Allah is clear from that.

After these clarifications and proofs from the Qur’an
and alsunna and the sayings of great scholars, the
one who claims: that Allah resides in the sky, or sits
on the throne, or occupying spaces or places or
likened Allah to his creations in any way then he:
Opposed the Qur’an, and belied the
Prophet, and opposed the sayings of
the great scholars and negated Islam.
