‘لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ’
(Qur’ān 42:11)
“Laysa Kamithlihi Shayʾun Wa Huwa as-Samīʿu al-Baṣīr”
“There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
There isn’t anything like Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. His ﷻ Essence doesn’t fit within the limits of imagination. Therefore, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, don’t investigate or ask about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Essence. Look at His ﷻ power, what He ﷻ has done and His ﷻ creations. Even they challenge your mind. It’s not such an easy thing.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is transcendent to space and time. There is neither space nor time for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are creations. They have been created too. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla Himself created time and place. He ﷻ cannot enter into what He ﷻ has created. That’s impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to know this.
There is a group of people who call themselves and others polytheists, infidels. They make Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla a place and body. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, they have fallen into kufr. A person who assigns a body for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and gives Him ﷻ weight, place and time will lose his īmān.
Therefore, nothing resembles Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is what you must know. And as we said, time and space are things He ﷻ created. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created the entire universe. His ﷻ creating is eternal.
Therefore, mankind, a believer should know his manners towards Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He must know everything our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said and explained. Those who follow his ﷺ way will be saved, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Those who do not follow his ﷺ way will lose their īmān. After that, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, they may leave this world without īmān.
That’s why, a person must be on a way. Now, most people say about every man who appears, “He is like this and like that,” and those ignorant people believe what he says without understanding.
The way of ṭarīqah is the way of truth, the way of adab, the way of knowledge, the way of spiritual awareness. And with the barakah and īmān found in ṭarīqah, a person lives in īmān until his last breath, and leaves dunyā upon īmān. Because this way is the way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The way he ﷺ showed is the way of salvation.
May Allāh ﷻ protect us from evil, from fitnah and from being deceived. Ameen. May we not see the good as bad and the bad as good, in shā’a Llāh. May we see the bad as bad and the good as good, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
