The Qur'an frequently invites believers to contemplate the creation of the universe as evidence of God's wisdom, power, and sovereignty. Among its remarkable expressions is the statement that God's Throne was upon the water, a verse that has inspired centuries of theological reflection and Qur'anic interpretation.
About the Book
His Throne Was on Water explores the Qur'anic description of creation and divine sovereignty by examining the meaning of the verse referring to God's Throne upon the water. Drawing upon Qur'anic exegesis, prophetic traditions, and classical scholarship, the book discusses theological, cosmological, and spiritual dimensions of this profound expression.
The author examines subjects such as the creation of the heavens and the earth, divine authority, symbolic language in the Qur'an, the concept of the Throne ('Arsh), water in the creation narrative, and the relationship between creation and divine wisdom. Readers gain insight into how Muslim scholars have interpreted this important Qur'anic passage throughout history.
A major emphasis throughout the work is that reflection upon creation strengthens awareness of God's greatness and wisdom. The book demonstrates how Qur'anic descriptions of the universe invite believers to contemplate divine power while avoiding speculative interpretations that exceed the limits of revelation. Through careful textual analysis and scholarly discussion, readers develop a richer understanding of one of the Qur'an's most thought-provoking passages.
The discussion also encourages appreciation of the Qur'an's balance between theological reflection and humble recognition of the limits of human knowledge.

His Throne Was on Water

This book, Trialogue of the Abrahamic Faiths, edited by the late Dr. Isma'il R. al Faruqi, is certain to be hailed as a historic milestone in Muslim-Christian-Jewish dialogue. Perhaps not since the early Middle Ages when the grand courts of Damascus, Baghdad, and Qurtubah (Cordova) witnessed numerous dialogues and debates between the adherents of these three Abrahamic faiths has there been such a successful effort made by religious scholars to communicate with one another on matters of faith and understanding. This book, readers may note, goes beyond the modern-day ostensible studies in comparative religion, and each of the contributing scholars evinces and appreciation and more-than-cursory knowledge of all three faiths.The book also offers a unique forum for dialogue between Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars as they discuss issues of faith, the nation-state as a form of social organization and the faith-community as a transnational actor for justice and peace.
