"Allah created the throne to show his Power and did not take it as a place for Himself"

والصَّلَاةُ والسَّلاَمُ عَلَى سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَشْرَفِ اْلمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ الطَّيّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْن

Allah is attributed with all proper perfection. He is clear of any imperfection. That is, He is clear of all that which do not befit Him such as ignorance, powerlessness, place, space, colour and limit.

Imam ^Aliyy, May Allah raise his rank said: “'Allah created the throne (ceiling of paradise: al-^Arsh ) to show his Power and did not take it as a place for Himself'.

Imam Abu Mansur al-Baghdadiyy mentioned that statement in his book “Al-farqu bayna l-firaq” after he had conveyed the consensus about clearing Allah of places and limits.
