The Nature of God

kay Mom, let’s now talk about Him, the One Who has demanded from us to worship Him without any partners, the One Who returned our souls to us this

morning so that we can awaken praising Him for that revival, seeking again His forgiveness and begging for His guidance.

You should know Mom that He, the One True God, has a nature, characteristics, qualities, traits and attributes that are uniquely dissimilar from everything else that exists. He possesses qualities which are unique to Him, and we also have characteristics, attributes, traits and qualities that are unique to us.

And we as His creatures have no share, no affiliation, no partnership, no similarity or even the remotest likeness in the least to Him, and all of these qualities that we possess are vastly limited and restricted. We “share,, with Him in the qualities of names and attributes in name only. For example, Allah hears and we hear. He sees and we see.

He knows and we know (haveknowledge). But regarding the degree or extent of that seeing, hearing or knowledge there is no comparison, similarity, equality, resemblance or likeness at all. This can be applied to any and every characteristic or quality He possesses. Thus, this “sharing” between the attributes of the Creator and the attributes of His creation is of a general, unrestricted type.

Therefore, when we read or hear of an attribute of any kind, the meaning or definition of that attribute and the “relationship” between us and our Creator is going to be what immediately comes to mind.

In other words, when we say for instance, the quality of a hand, “Uncle Albert’s hands are beautiful,” then those hands and their beauty is relative to the one they are connected to, who in this case is none other than Uncle Albert.

Those hands are going to be commensurate with and befitting Albert since they belong to him and him alone, even though there are other creatures who also possess hands.

Likewise, we also know that God has hands. We know this because He has informed us of this and we would have never known that if He had not apprised us of that fact. We also would not have been able to assign those hands to Him had He not informed us of them via Divine Scripture. We would have either been lying on Him or fabricating something about Hirn without justification.

I am sure you agree that that would be a tremendously, great sin: to attribute or assign something to Him which He did not attribute or assign to Himself. In the legal sense of the word, this on one side is called slander, while on the other side it is libel.

Let’s take the attribute of knowledge, for example. We as human beings have been endowed with this amazing gift. It allows us to do incredible things and affords us with great benefits. At the same time, that incredible quality of knowledge is very limited.

In fact, we are in need of another created thing to have that knowledge; the brain. But Allah’s (God’s) knowledge is unlimited and unrestricted. It is not subjected to time, conditions, space or circumstances. He has always possessed the attribute of knowledge and will always be described as the One Who knows.

He knows everything in the most intricate way, with the finest details. His knowledge is not preceded with having to learn or be educated about what He knows nor is He subjected to forgetting what He knows. His knowledge, as I’ve already mentioned, befits His vast greatness, sublimity, and majesty.

So it would be unbefitting to relegate to Him the inability of knowing, lack of knowing, or defective knowledge. Anyone or anything that has even one of those limitations m just this one quality-of knowledge-cannot be considered the One worthy of absolute and exclusive, love and worship. They cannot be considered the All-Knowing, Supreme Being, Lord of the Worlds.

My dear mother, one of those things that He and only He knows with the finest, most intricate detail is the Day of Judgment. The Prophets and Messengers of old, like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad did not even possess this knowledge.

They informed us of its many signs, but no man knew or knows the exact hour of its occurrence. The only One that has that exact information is Allah (God). Look at what Allah (God) says in the Qur’an in the chapter called “The Sincerity”:

“Say: He is Allah, the One and Only God, the Eternal, the Absolute. He begets none, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.” [Al-Ikhlas 112:I-4]

You know something Mother, there is an interesting word I came across not too long ago, while reading an article, called syllogism. According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary the word syllogism means: “a formal argument in logic that is formed by two statements and a conclusion which must be true if the two statements are true” or “a deductive scheme of
