    The Prophet [SAW] said: “Those who are just and fair will be with Allah, Most High, on thrones of light, at the right hand of the Most Merciful, those who are just in their rulings and in their dealings with their families and those of whom they are in charge.” Muhammad (one of the narrators) said in his Hadith: “And both of His hands are right hands.”

    God talked to us in human language. This is the limitation of language because it is based on our empirical observations and experience. Transcendental realities have no parallels in our language. Therefore transcendental expressions borrow words and concepts of human language to convey a transcendental concept. They are not taken in their literal sense.
