Dear
Readers,
Believing
in Allah (swt) means believing all Personal and Subuti
attributes of Allah (swt) as they are stated in Qur'an which is the main
source of religion and its best interpretation and
explanation, Hadiths. His attributes do not resemble the characteristics of
those He created. They cannot be compared. It is ordered in the verse from the Qur'an
that:
"Invent not similitudes for Allah" [Nahl, 74].
# Allah (swt) doesn't resemble anything He created
Allah
(swt) exists. His existence is absolute. Allah is
unique in terms of existence, attributes, works and
orders. His existence is forever and eternal. He is
self-existent which means He exists with His power. Allah (swt) doesn't
resemble anything He created.
He
is alive. He knows everything which is secret or open in the past or in the
future. He does what he wishes. He has the power over
everything. He sees, hears and speaks. He creates, organizes and manages everything as
He wishes. These are
stated in the verses of Qur'an:
"That
is because Allah is the Truth,"
[Luqman,
30]
"Say:
He is Allah, the One." [Ikhlas, 1]
"That
is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things." [Anaam, 102]
"He
is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Hidden: and He has full
knowledge of all things." [Hadíd, 3]
"There
is nothing whatever like unto Him."
[Shura, 11]
"Allah,
the Eternal, Absolute;" [Ikhlas, 2]
# The essence of Allah's attributes are different
Although He bestowed the creatures He created
the subuti attributes of Him partially or symbolically as being alive, seeing, hearing
and speaking, these characteristics of the creatures are on a
representation level. They are not like Allah's attributes in terms of their nature
and essence. They cannot be compared.
"Allah. There is no god but He, the Living,
the Self-subsisting, Supporter of all." [Baqarah, 255]
"And put thy trust in Him Who lives and
dies not; and celebrate
His praise" [Furqan, 58]
"Yea,
to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; " [Al-Imran,
189; Nur, 42; Shura, 49; Jathiya, 27; Fath, 14]
"Allah
is the Creator of all things."
[Zumar,
62]
"But
Allah has created you and your handwork." [Saffat, 96]
"Allah hath power over all things." [Al-Imran,
189]
"The Originator of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth
a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is." [Baqarah, 117]
# Allah (swt) knows
everything
Allah (swt) has infinite
knowledge. Trillions of events that took place in the visible and invisible
realms always takes place under His information.
"Allah
has full knowledge of all things." [Mujadala, 7]
"Not
a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge." [Anaam, 59]
"Whether
ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all." [Al-Imran, 29]
"Allah
is He Who hears and sees (all things). " [Hajj, 75]
"It is not fitting for a man that Allah
should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil," [Shura, 51]
"Say: If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean
be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean
like it, for its aid." [Kahf, 109]
We must know Allah with these attributes. We must accept and approve the attributes but we must not try
to understand their content. It is never possible for human to understand
Allah (swt) or the content of His attributes because
of that human sees, hears,
knows and learns but these depend on
the material relations and interactions.
# The attributes of Allah notified in His beautiful names
Dear
Readers,
Some
of the attributes of Allah (swt) are heralded to human
with verses of Qur'an. However the attributes of Allah can never be compared
with the characteristics of human. Each attribute of Allah is away from deficiencies.
They are perfect and complete. The qualities of human,
which are created out
of soil, are defected by the desires of their nafs.
We forgive the people who harm us if they
realize and apologize but every time we see them we remember the bad
behaviors of the people. We feel sad. Even though we completely forgive them,
it will never be a complete forgiveness with what our nafs whisper. Is it the
same with the forgiveness of Allah?
Some of the beautiful names of Allah
(swt) are ordered in three verses of Al-Hashr.
"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]
"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]
