Allah is unparalleled and unequaled. The Holy Quran has described Him in a short statement:
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ۖ
“There is nothing comparable to Him.” [Al Shura:11]
This verse clearly illustrates that there is nothing like Allah and Allah is not like anything. He is just matchless. In this world, we know very little about Him. In the Hereafter, when He will unveil Himself, we will fully know Him and see Him, In Sha Allah.
Also, it is worth noting that several attributes given to Allah in the Holy Quran resemble human attributes apparently like a hand, face, etc. but Muslim Scholars while interpreting these attributes, do not compare them with human attributes, rather they say:
كما يليق بشأنه العظيم
“As His Highness deserves” and some other sentences similar to this.
Hence, it should be kept in mind that we cannot compare Allah to anything and cannot say that He looks like this thing or that thing.

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Muslims in different parts of the world have different practices between two rakats of Taraweeh like some say: سبحان ذي الملك والملكوت، سبحان ذي العزة والعظمة والهيبة والكبرياء والجبروت، سبحان الحي الذي لا يموت، سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح others prefer: لاRead more
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Muslims in different parts of the world have different practices between two rakats of Taraweeh like some say:
سبحان ذي الملك والملكوت، سبحان ذي العزة والعظمة والهيبة والكبرياء والجبروت، سبحان الحي الذي لا يموت، سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح
others prefer: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، يحيي ويميت، وهو على كل شئ قدير
some also recites Surah Al-Ikhlas and Darood.
No doubt that all these are good deeds in themselves. However, it is worth noting that saying these Dhikrs or Duas or recitations is not narrated in any Hadith or action of a companion of the Prophet. Hence, this comes in the circle of innovation and Bid’ah and therefore it is necessary to avoid this as the Messenger of Allah says:
مَن أَحْدَثَ في أَمْرِنَا هذا ما ليسَ فِيهِ فَهو رَدّ
“Whoever introduces into our religion that is not a part of it is rejected”
[Muttafaqun ‘Alaih, Sahih Bukhari:2697, Sahih Muslim:1718]
واللہ اعلم بالصواب
