Dear
Readers,
In my previous article, I stated that Allah
(swt) corrected all the wrong information and comments about Him with the last
book that was sent to human through His Messengers.
Qur'an gave a true and real insight that is appropriate to the facts to attributes
of Allah besides correcting the wrong
"God" comments of the previous periods.
"All that is on earth will perish: But will
abide (forever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honor." (Rahman, 26-27)
"He is the First and the Last, the Evident
and the Hidden: and He has full knowledge of all things." (Hadíd, 3)
"Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who
knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." (Hashr, 22)
# The real owner of the universe
Allah (swt) is unique in power and strength. Allah is the source of all
peace and perfection. Allah is the One who is free
from all imperfections and
defects.
"Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;-
the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian
of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the
justly Proud. Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to
Him." (Hashr,
23)
"He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator, the
Fashioner. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens
and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in
Might, the Wise." (Hashr, 24)
"He is the Living (One): There is no god but He.
Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the
Worlds!" (Mu'min,
65)
"No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over
all vision: He is Subtle well-aware (of all things)." (Anaam, 103)
Dear Readers, there are many other verses Qur'an that explain Allah
(swt). Most of the verses were explained with hadiths of Rasulullah (s.a.w) and
the
uncertain issues became clear with the interpretations
of Islamic scholars and glossators. Now there are no hesitations about the creator, ruler, owner,
and educator of the worlds. The people who have hesitations are uncertain because they do not pay
attention to Allah and try to reach the knowledge.
Of course, the most valuable knowledge that a person can have is "Marifatullah"
which means "knowledge of Allah".
A person who does not have knowledge about Allah cannot understand any other
relative reality properly. The
source of knowing Allah is Qur'an. We must know Allah (swt) according to the
definition in Qur'an given by Allah. Otherwise, everyone
can make up a "God" definition.
Dear Readers,
Allah (swt) had provided information about Himself with hundreds of his qualities as He ordered in Qur'an and defined
Himself as to clear all the hesitations.
Allah (swt) bestowed some of His
attributes to human and other creatures as
being alive, seeing, hearing, knowing, talking, having power and strength,
organizing, managing and some of the ethical
attributes as mercy, compassion, justice,
goodness, kindness and patience partially in order to make them know Allah better.
On the other hand, some of the attributes of Allah does not exist in any known or
unknown, visible or invisible creatures. These are Personal Attributes
of Allah. The divine attributes of Allah are
existence (Wujud), pre-eternity, eternal existence in the
past (Qidam), eternity, immortality (Baqa) , Oneness,
having no partner (Wahdaniyyah),
the
continuation of His existence stems
from nothing but Himself (Qiyam bi nafseehee), creating (Takween) and His essence and attributes do not resemble those of His
creatures (Mukhalafathun lil
hawadith). These attributes are the distinctive characteristics of Allah
(swt). Believing that the other creatures have these attributes or qualifying created things with these attributes
are resulted from not knowing Allah (swt) correctly and exactly and
inability
to comprehend the divine order created by Allah adequately. Such a
behavior is to hide
the truth, and unbelief. Therefore, all of the believers must be aware of these in a best way.
# None of the characteristics of Allah (swt) are like the ones He created
Dear Readers,
Indeed, none of
the characteristics of Allah (swt) are like the ones He created because Allah
is absolute, perfect and eternal. Therefore, the attributes of Allah are also
absolute, perfect, and eternal. The other creatures are created by Allah and
they are relative and temporary, and their existences are dependent of Allah.
Their existences are at imagination level. The features of the creatures that
are created afterwards are defined and created by
Allah (Swt) according to their creation purposes and needs as their existence. Therefore, comparing their characteristics to attributes of
Allah (Swt) will not be appropriate. It is ordered in the verses from the Qur'an
that:
"Invent not similitudes for Allah. for Allah knoweth, and ye
know not." (Nahl, 74)
Just as a real thing and a dream or view
cannot be compared, all the
created worlds, which are at imagination level, cannot be compared to Allah
(swt) which is an absolute reality. Human beings are aware of the absolute
reality after they die.
"All that is on earth will perish: But will abide
(forever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honor." (Rahman, 26-27)
"On that Day Allah will pay them back (all) their
just dues, and they will realize that Allah is the (very) Truth, that makes all
things manifest." (Nur, 25)
Be entrusted to Allah.
