WAHABISM AND MONOTHEISM

Ibn Teimiya wrote a book in which he aimed at proving that the Throne is flat, since Allah, the Exalted, shall be globular if His Throne is globular. Providing the previous, Allah's corporeality shall be encircling His creatures from every side, not only from the above.

Some cited the following hadith as their evidence on the Throne's being domal:
