( 158 ) Some of the Christians who claim the Lord's incarnating in Messiah and the Sufis who believe in the Lord's incarnating in corporealities of some of their spiritualists disagree. This faith is too ridiculous to be discussed since the credible concept of incarnation means that a being that is incapable of existing independently finds a location in another on basis of fellowship. This meaning however is impracticable for Allah the Exalted since it necessitates possibility. 14.
Denial of the Lord's combination Text: and combination Explanation: Necessity of existence contradicts combination. Previously we have explicated that necessity of existence requires oneness. In case the Necessary Existent combines with another thing it is most surely that thing should be possible. Thus qualities of the possible existent will be born by the being combining it. As a result the necessary existent will be transferring into a possible existent.
Furthermore in case of combination the two combined beings should be either independently existent; hence the combination will be null or both or one of them will be nonexistent; hence the combination will be null too or the necessity will be null. Consequently the necessary existent will be possible. This is contrast. 15. Denial of the Lord's occupying a locality. Text: and locality Explanation: This is one of the rulings required by the Necessary Existent.
The entire corporalists disputed about this point. They believed in the Lord's occupying a definite locality. Followers of Abu Abdillah Bin Al-Karram were engaged in discrepancy in this regard. Mohammed Bin Heitham claims the Lord's being in an endless region atop the Throne. He also claims that the distance between the Lord and the Throne is infinite. Some claim the finitude of that distance. Others adopted corporalists' claim of the Lord's being over the Throne.
All the previous beliefs are valueless since every occupant is demonstrated and suffering contingent manners. Contingent beings however are not necessary. Al-FAKHR ARRAZI'S THESIS OF DENIAL OF ALLAH'S CORPOREALITY Al-Metalibul Aliya volume 2 part 2 page 25: Chapter Three: Providing evidences on impracticability of Allah's being a corporeality In this regard scholars have two opinions.
Majority of Muslims compromised that Allah is promoted against having a corporeality and occupying a definite ( 159 ) space. Others corporalists claimed His being defined by a certain space.
