S 7:54 Your lord is Allah who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne. He covers the night with the day seeking it quickly, and the sun and the moon and the stars--subjected by his command. Indeed, his is the creation and the command. Blessed be Allah, lord of the ‘alamin.
S 9:129 And if they turn away, say: Allah is my sufficiency. There is no god but him. In him have I put my trust. And he is the lord of the great throne.
S 10:3 Your lord is the one who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne, arranging affairs. There is no intercessor except after his permission. That is Allah your lord, so worship him. So do you not remember?
S 11:7 And he is the one who created the skies and the Earth in six days. And his throne was on the water to test you, which of you is best in deed. But if you say: You are raised after death, those who have disbelieved will say: This is nothing but obvious magic.
S 13:2 Allah is the one who raised the skies without columns that you see. Then he ascended the throne and subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a fixed term. He arranges the matter, he details the signs; perhaps you will be certain of the meeting of your lord.
S 17:42 Say: Had there been gods with him as they say, then they would have sought a way to the possessor of the throne.
Why might the presence of a number of gods necessarily lead to conflict?
S 20:5 Al-Rahman ascended the throne.
S 21:22 Had there been gods but Allah in them they would have been corrupted. So glory be to Allah, lord of the throne, from what they attribute.
S 23:86 Say: Who is the lord of the seven skies and the lord of the great throne?
S 23:116 So exalted be Allah, the king, the truth! There is no god but him, the lord of the honorable throne.
S 25:59 The one who created the skies and the Earth and what is between them in six days then ascended the Al-Rahman throne. So ask him, an expert.
S 27:23 I found a woman ruling them and she has been given of everything and she has a great throne.
S 27:26 Allah. There is no god but him, the lord of the great throne.
S 27:38 He said: Chiefs, which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me as Muslims?
S 27:41 He said: Disguise her throne for her; we shall see whether she is guided or is of those who are not guided.
S 27:42 So when she came it was said: Is your throne thus? She said: It is as though it were it. And we were given the knowledge before her and were Muslims.
S 32:4 Allah is the one who created the skies and the Earth and what is between them in six days. Then he ascended the throne. You have no protector or intercessor instead of him. So do you not remember?
S 39:75 And you see the angels bordering around the throne glorifying with their lord’s praise. And it was decided between them in truth and it was said: Praise be to Lah, lord of the ‘alamin!
S 40:7 Those who bear the throne and those around it glorify with the praise of their lord and believe in him and seek forgiveness for those who have believed: Our lord, you have encompassed everything in mercy and knowledge so forgive those who have repented and have followed your way and protect them from the torture of jahim.
S 40:15 The elevated of degrees, possessor of the throne. He throws the spirit of his command upon whom he wills of his slaves to warn of the day of meeting.
Are there degrees above Allah's? Did someone raise Allah to its degree?
S 43:82 Praise be to the lord of the skies and the Earth, the lord of the throne, from what they ascribe!
S 57:4 He is the one who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne. He knows what passes into the Earth and what comes out of it and what descends from the sky and what ascends into it. And he is with you wherever you were. And Allah is a seer of what you do.
S 69:17 And the angel on its edges and eight carry your lord’s throne above them on that day.
S 81:20 A possessor of power with the possessor of the throne, distinguished,
The 'generous messenger' is a possessor of power with the possessor of the throne?
S 85:15 The possessor of the glorious throne,
There are two verses that speak of a chair:
S 2:255 Allah--there is no god but him, the living, the qayyum. Neither slumber nor sleep takes him. His is what is in the skies and what is on the Earth. Who is the one who intercedes with him but with his permission? He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them. And they do not surround anything of his knowledge but what he has willed. His chair was wide over the skies and the Earth. And his guarding them does not tire him. And he is the high, the great.
S 38:34 And we tested Sulayman and threw onto his chair a body then he repented.
There is a hadith in which Allah's boss sees someone on 'the' throne in the air, but someone or other would have us understand that it was JIBRIL.
Yahya reported:
I asked Abu Salama what was revealed first from the Qur'an. He said:" 0, the shrouded one." I said: Or" Recite." Jabir said: I am narrating to you what was narrated to us by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: I stayed in Hira' for one month and when my stay was completed, I come down and went into the heart of the valley. Somebody called me aloud. I looked in front of me, behind me, on the right of my side and on my left, but I did not see any body. I was again called and I looked about but saw nothing. I was called again and raised my head, and there on the Throne in the open atmosphere he, i. e. Gabriel (peace be upon him) was sitting. I began to tremble on account of fear. I came to Khadija and said: Wrap me up. They wrapped me up and threw water on me and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, sent down this: you who are shrouded! arise and deliver warning, your Lord magnify, your clothes cleanse."
If this is Allah's throne, what is Jib doing sitting on it?
