Transliteration:( Ar-Rahmaanu 'alal 'Arshis tawaa )
6. The word ARSH denotes the throne of the king, while ISTAWA denotes sitting on it.. Allah Almighty is free and pure from both of these acts. Hence, this verse is from the ambiguous verses viz. the type of sitting and establishment which is befitting to the dignity of Allah Almighty, and not the manner of sitting like that of ours.
