Do you seriously take the literal meaning? )

If you didn't take the literal meaning so the Quran is simply a crooked book. The verse is stating a fact. What does eight mean? What is the metaphorical significance of giving these details???

How you know he has no physical form?????????

That is something we cannot know until the day we meet God. But I "believe" he has no physical form

Your belief do not count check out this ayat. (Quran 6917)

Ahmad_Bilal

And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them. (Quran 6917)

The word "thamaniyah"/eight is mentioned in this verse, but where does it say "eight angels"?

Also, the verse starts off by saying that the angels will be on "its" sides. What is the "it" being referred to? The previous passage says

And the heavens will be cleft asunder, so that day it will be frail. (Q. 6916)

The angels ("malaykaat"/controllers) will be on the sides of the heavens, not on the sides of God's throne. In this case, what are the "eight" things being referred to, and what is God's "arsh"/throne? Obviously it's not talking about a literal throne, since an omnipresent Being can't sit on a literal throne. So, what is it talking about? Well, a throne is a symbol of power and authority. Maybe you should start there...

Might not count to you, but they do to me.

6917 does not say anything about the physical appearance of God. Bearing the throne above them does not necessarily mean a seat or anything we would recognise.

we do not sit only because we get tired. God doesn't get tired, He does what He pleases, we cannot ask Him why He stands up or sit down.
