Almighty God- Part 4
So how does the creation know its Creator without knowing His form?
Well we know Him through His attributes. As discussed earlier, He is neither human nor does He resemble any part of creation. We do not try to understand Him by His features but rather by His attributes. How can we understand Him by His features when no vision can grasp Him?
Allah says in the Qur’an (the meaning of which is),
“No vision can take Him in, but He takes in all vision. He is the All Subtle, the All Aware”. (Quran 6:103)
We know Him by His attributes.
Translation:
“For Allah is the highest attribute.” (Qur’an 16:60)
“Allah is He, besides Whom there is none worthy of worship; – Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”. (Quran 59:22)
“He is Allah, other than whom there is no true deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him”. (Quran 59:23)
“He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He `is the Exalted in Might, the Wise”. (Quran 59:24)
Allah is Eternal. The entire creation has a beginning. Allah has no beginning.
Allah is Everlasting. The entire creation will come to an end. Allah has no end.
Allah is All Hearing, All Seeing and All Knowing. Nothing is ever hidden from Him.
Allah is All Powerful. His power is infinite and beyond human imagination.
The Attributes of Allah do not change. The attributes of the creation change,
develop, and transform from one state to another by the will of Allah.
Allah is the Creator of the entire universe and everything that is in it. He is not part of the creation. The creation cannot contain Him.
Allah is One with no partners. He is the only one Who has the right to lordship, worship and attributes of perfection.
Allah is not in need. He does not need or depend on the creation. The creation needs the Creator.
Allah is the only one Who deserves to be worshipped. None is worthy of worship but the Creator alone.
A Muslim is the one who submits his will to the will of the Almighty God.
Submit to Allah.
