There is nothing like Allah (god)

 

Allah far above is he in what they associate with him in his likeness, actions, and speech, for he has no likeness similar to his creation or to any false deities that is worshiped along side with him. This is the foundation teaching of Islam that any Muslim must believe in as it is the teaching of the honored Quran. 

    "[He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing(42:11)".

 " No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things (6:103)"

  Allah is one who is perfect in all his attributes and although  humans might possess attributes of the creator but they come with imperfection and cannot be compared to the creator.

• He is the living one - he does not die
• He is the one who hears everything he has created-  he is not one who might hear one time and not hear another time.
• He sees everything he has created - not a second will he not be able to not see something.
• He has knowledge of everything - his knowledge does not go away for even a second.
• He is the creator of all things - he does not get tired or regret his decision in what he has created, or has any feeling of not wanting to create. 
• He has perfect speech  - needing not a mouth or anything you can imagine.
•  He is free of all wants - needing not children or father, mother, or any thing that a human needs to survive for he is the creator of all things.

    Those perfect attributes we discussed and all those which we haven't , have never been compared and will never be equal to the attributes of the creator for he is one who had no beginning, having no end, possessing all that he possess eternity inquiring not and given not.

    Who is more worthy of worship to summit your will to, Allah who is free of all imperfection , or to those who are worshiped along side with him that they themselves are in need of help ?

 You see them eating food sleeping , drinking, dying, or any other imperfections .

    "Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe“- And peace upon the messengers“- And praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds (37: 180 to 182)

Why is god worthy of worship

 In life there are those people we thank every other day, if not every day, for doing something that is praise worthy. This could be feeding you when you had no money, saving your life, or they raised you when you were so small and weak. Likewise God is one who deserves more of a praises and worship but why?

Imagine your in jungle and you come across a house, and you automatically assume this is a house which was build by a person. The reasoning why you would think that is the way the house is build. you see the foundation of the house , you look at how everything is connected from the ground to upward, so that the house would not fall apart showing you, the one who build the house had the knowledge of how to build. You likewise look at the roof, which tells you that this roof is there because the one who build this house did not   want rain in the house. Another reasoning Is that what is needed to build this is house is power, because you need the strength to be able to do it. The  last reasoning is that It needs Will( meaning you take the action to do what you want to do, if you want to drink water you don’t just think about it, you will go and get the water). if you did not have The knowledge, power and the will needed would you be able to build the house? The answer is no.

   When you looked at the house you have came to the conclusion that knowledge, power , and will was needed to build this house, can you than look at the world around and come to the conclusion that the world has a creator who has all knowledge, power and will, who has created the world and what is within it?  you are one of the creation of god, you have been given life, starting from your atoms to your whole body. If one day a person offers you millions of dollars will you give him your eyes? The answer will be no, because your eyes are the Window to this world, how can you enjoy the money if you can’t see. This is just one of the blessing the creator has given you , now think about just one more which is the oxygen that you breath in every second, every minute , and every hour .

Why it makes sense that there is one creator Who is worthy of all praise ? 

The answer to this Is that if u had more than one god, than their interest would go against each other which will lead to conflict, each one of them will be raising to overpower the other. If one wants there to be a day and one wants night , what do you think would have happen to this world other than ruined. Have you ever heard of a country owning two presidents. The answer would be no, their interest would go against each other and the country would not function.

Which is more worthy , remembering your father or mother for what good things they did for you or remembering the one who has given you life and the one who has made your father and mother to be able to help you in the first place?

   I call you to study Islam for it is from the one who has created you . He has showed man and women the way to believe in him and the wrong ways . To those who follow his way, he promised them a good end which is paradise and to those who  follow their forefather and are worshipping animals, Humans and any other creation of god turning the natural desire for humans to know the truth off and believing blindly because they don’t want to let go off their father’s worship of the creation, and culture which is rooted in associating partner with god  than for this people god has made hellfire for them where they will not die or live. 

   All praise belongs to Allah ( god ) and the best of path to follow is the path he has given to his messenger Muhammed ( peace be upon him).

who god is from his attributes

 The attributes of God

God is the one who is worthy of worship and learning about the creator's characteristics is essential to knowing the one who your worshiping. This blog will discuss who god is from the shortest chapter of the Honored Quran, which there is no doubt is the speech of God, for the sincere heart and the one who is looking for guidance in his life. This chapter is named the purity of faith.

1.       Say He Allah is one who is unique.

2.       Allah is the perfect, eternal and all depends on him while he needs none.

3.       He begets not, and has not been begotten, (neither gives birth, nor born):

4.       And no one has ever been equal to him, nor like Him.

    This is chapter from the rational view is coherent in that there is no contradiction. God is one who is unique, and because he is unique and one – he is perfect where he depends on no one for his self-existing – meaning that that he didn’t come to existence which means that he is eternal. This will link to how he didn’t need a source where he came from ( father or mother) – which links to how he doesn’t need offspring ( sons or daughter) for if that was the case than he would not be unique anymore. This will finally make you understand how because of those attributes no one can ever be equal to him and how there is nothing like him.

You might ask if there is nothing like the creator (Allah) than why do you use the pronoun He. The answer for this is that it is the limitation of language. In Arabic words are either masculine or feminine and this does not indicate that these words possess something that makes them have the attribute of either being male or female. He in Arabic Comes from a pronoun in the past tenses that has two meaning. One of them means IT and the other meaning is He, so it is this word which is used in the Quran, and because you have to translate into English, you would have to use HE instead of IT. This means Always keep in mind that there is nothing like god, which would mean anything that you think of is not god.

The eye which the Muslim sees through

 In any away of life , we build our way of thinking through our foundation, which determines how we view the world . Islam likewise has foundation which is needed to know , so that how the world is seen through it’s eyes will be known. 

  foundation 101. non is worthy of worship but god and Muhammed is his slave and messenger.

what does this mean. worship means to give all praise to god and non else. This means all acts of worship belongs to God in time of good and in time of hardship and not to human, stone, tree, sun, moon , or fire. Worship includes all that is commanded from the forbidden to what is allowed , so small details that it includes smiling at your brother, to big matter such as family , inheritance of money , and how to deal with people in business.  This is found in the Quran which is the speech of the creator.

   Muhammed (peace be upon him) is then affirmed as god’s messenger and prophet. you love him , honor him , and follow him in the path that god has chosen for him and his nations. He is send as a mercy to all mankind , which means that you can be black, white, Japanese , Chinese, Indian , Spanish , and all others from every corner and background in the world . you follow the Quran which god has given him and his example which is in the Hadith.

  Understanding this you will come to know that a Muslim’ s away of life is in accordance to the path god has chosen for him  in the Quran and the path his messengers Muhammed ( peace and blessing be upon him) has lived which is in the Hadith . Any other path which contradicts this path is wrong and needs to be stayed away from .
