في كتاب التوحيد حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي عن محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي: قال: حدثنا جذعان بن نصر أبو نصر الكندي قال: حدثنا سهل بن زياد الادمي عن الحسن بن محبوب عن عبد الله بن كثير عن داود الرقي قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " وكان عرشه على الماء " فقال لي: ما يقولون؟قلت: يقولون إن العرش كان على الماء والرب فوقه، فقال: كذبوا، من زعم هذا فقد صير الله محمولا ووصفه بصفة المخلوقين ولزمه ان الشئ الذي يحمله أقوى منه، قلت: بين لي جعلت فداك، فقال: ان الله عز وجل حمل علمه ودينه الماء قبل أن يكون سماء أو ارض أو انس أو جن أو شمس أو قمر فلما أراد ان يخلق الخلق نثرهم بين يديه فقال لهم: من ربكم؟فكان أول من نطق رسول الله وأمير المؤمنين والأئمة صلوات الله عليهم، فقالوا: أنت ربنا فحملهم العلم والدين، ثم قال للملائكة: هؤلاء حملة علمي وديني وأمنائي في خلقي وهم المسؤولون، ثم قيل لبني آدم: أقروا لله بالربوبية ولهؤلاء النفر بالطاعة فقالوا: نعم ربنا أقررنا فقال للملائكة: اشهدوا، فقالت الملائكة: " شهدنا على أن لا يقولوا انا كنا عن هذا غافلين * أو يقولوا انما أشرك آبائنا من قبل وكنا ذرية من بعدهم أفتهلكنا بما فعل المبطلون " ان ولايتنا مؤكدة عليهم في الميثاق.
A man asked Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq [a] about the verse, "It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water." (11:7)
The Imam asked the man, "What do the people say?"
The man said, "They say that the Throne is upon water and the Lord is on top of it."
The Imam said, "They have lied. Whoever alleges this has made Allah a carried thing, and described Him in the way that the creation is described, saying that He needs something stronger than Him to carry Him."
The man said, "Clarify it for me - may I be your sacrifice."
So he [a] said, "Allah had set His knowledge and His religion upon water before there was a heaven or Earth, or human or jinn, or sun or moon.
When He decided to create the creation, He brought them forth and said to them, 'Who is your Lord?' So the first to speak was the Messenger of Allah, the Commander of the Faithful, and the Imams. They said, 'You are our Lord.' So He set the knowledge and the religion upon them, then He said to the angels, 'These are My trustees and the holders of My knowledge and My religion in My creation. They are the ones responsible.'
Then, He said to the children of Adam, 'Acknowledge the Lordship of Allah and the obedience of this group.' So they said, 'Yes, we acknowledge it.'" (Kitab al-Tawhid)
A man asked Imam Ja`far b. Muhammad [a], “Are there more angels than humans?”
The Imam replied, “By the One who has my soul in His hands, the angels of Allah in the heavens are greater in number than the amount of grains of dirt in the Earth. There is not a place in the heavens except that there is an angel that glorifies and sanctifies Him, and there is not a tree or a lump in the Earth except that there is a guardian angel whose actions are observed by Allah – and Allah knows best about it. There is not one from them except that it gets closer to Allah everyday through our wilaya, the Ahl al-Bayt. They seek forgiveness for our lovers, and they curse our enemies and ask Him to send His punishment to them. And His saying, [b]‘Those who uphold the throne’ – meaning, the Messenger of Allah and the deputies after him who uphold the [revealed] knowledge of Allah [/b]– ‘and those around it’ – meaning, the angels – ‘glorify in the praise of their Lord and seek forgiveness for those who believe’ – meaning, the followers of the Family of Muhammad – ‘[saying:] Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented’ – from the allegiance of so-and-so and so-and-so and Bani Umayya – ‘and have followed Your way’ – this is the wilaya of the Vicegerent of Allah – ‘and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire. Our Lord, admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring. Surely, it is You who is the exalted in Might, the Wise.’ – meaning, those who aligned with `Ali [a], for that is their deliverance – ‘and protect them from sins. He whom You protect from sins that Day, you will have given him mercy,’ – meaning, on the Day of Resurrection – ‘that is the great victory.’ (40:7-9) – meaning, whomever Allah delivers from these (so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and so).”

O Allah I beseech You by that name which is preserved in the hidden treasurers,
which is the greatest and the most important, Proof, Truth, Protector, Pure, which is light and is from light.
It's light is with the light, and that light is above all lights, light filled with lights, brightness in brightness.
That light by which all the darkness was illuminated/shined, which destroyed all the compellers which could not be controlled by the Heavens or the Earth.
O He through whom the fear of a fearful can be averted, the magic of the magician be cast away,
the conspiracy of consipiror can be void, the jealousy of every jealous be finished, the rebellion of every rebel is stopped,
in Presence of His Greatness the mountain the dryness, the wetness split open
and if spoken then the Angels protect and if written on a ship and left then the stormy waves cannot reach it,
with it every transgressor and enemy and disobedient devil is controlled and it is Your Majestic and Greatest name which You have used for Yourself,
[b]by which You are on the Holy Throne and on Your Exalted chair. [/b]
O Allah who is Greater and the Greatest,
O Allah the honoured light unparalled Greater of the Heavens and the Earth.
O Lord of Majesty and Generosity I beseech You by Your Honour and Your Majesty and Your Power and Your Abundanc[b]e and by the Position of Mohammad and his family (s.a.w.a.).
I supplicate to You by You and by Mohammad and his family [/b]that send blessings on Mohammad and his family and free me,
and my parents and the believing men and the believing women from the fire of Hell
and send blessings on Mohammad and his family.
Surely You are the Praised the Glorious.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
I commenting on that, the Quran says "and his throne was upon the water that may try which one of you is best in acts".
The spirit of God is synonymous with Image of God which is same Name of God and it's the same throne of God or God's King or his authority or sovereignty.
I will try to prove this 2nd verse is the foundation of all that the Bible teaches about the Prophets and true Kings and their position.
This 2nd verse is so important.
