Allaah descending last third of the night.

And some deceived “intellectuals” say, this subjects Allaah to always being descending to the heavens because the last third of the night is always present in different parts of the world.

We say: How ignorant you are of Allaah and His attributes! Do you think this matter that you mention was hidden from Allaah when He informed His Prophet? If these people answer Yes (we think that knowledge of this matter was indeed hidden from Allaah) then they become disbelievers and there is no need to debate with them whatsoever.

However if they answer of course (Allaah indeed knows everything!) Then we tell them, we believe in the textual evidence the way it reached us. And we do not subject Allaah to the rules of nature (since He is the creator of these rules) rather we believe in the hadiths that reach us and we do not make things difficult upon ourselves, forcing us to deny that which is established (by Allaah and His Messenger).
