    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 worRead more

    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.

    It was our Lord Esa (Jesus) [Peace Be Upon Him] who was sent before our Prophet Muhammad [Peace Be Upon Him]. In the Holy Quran, Allah Ta'ala has narrated one of His prophecies: وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيّRead more

    And when (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary said: ‘Children of Israel, I am sent to you by Allah to confirm the Torah that was before me, and to give news of a Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) who will come after me whose name shall be Ahmad. [Al Saf, 61:6]

    This verse clearly points out the statement.

    This question of who is the creator of something comes to mind about things that seem creatures to us i.e. created beings. When this is not the case, we do not ask for the creator of a thing. For example, when we see a chair made of wood, we ask for its creator, carpenter in this case, because we know that a chair can’t get made from wood by itself. But, if we see a piece of wood randomly put on the ground, we don’t ask for its creator i.e. the carpenter.

    We see the world around us that it has been made and that the whole universe is caught in a web of mathematical and physical laws and the irony is that it can’t explain itself in the sense that from where did these laws come? All this points out the presence of a full conscious being behind its creation but we don’t know anything about it. Hence, certain questions come to our minds; Who created matter? Who put life in the matter? Who put consciousness  in the matter? This all compels us to look for some external source to be the creator of this world.

    On the Other hand, in terms of God, we haven’t seen him. We don’t know whether He is a created being. Hence, the question of a creator is irrelevant in this case. Now, Who really God is? that’s a different domain. Hopes you understand!
