Peace be upon you,
Thank you so much for the beautiful article.
[39:67] They can never fathom the greatness of GOD. The whole earth is within
His fist on the Day of Resurrection. In fact, the universes are folded within
His right hand. Be He glorified; He is much too high above needing any partners.
May God guide all of us,
M. Irtaza

What Is God?
God is the Absolute and Perfect Creator. He is absolute in the absolute sense.
God is absolutely One and only One, having no parts or partners of any kind. He
is unique, and nothing is similar to Him. He created everything from nothing.
The Almighty Creator brings everything to existence with utmost Perfection. He
is the Originator of all causes and effects with no effect on Him. His presence
is absolutely ever-present. He is absolutely independent of anything and
everything that exists. He is the most knowledgeable. He possesses knowledge
beyond human comprehension. The Holy Qur'an mentions the relationship among
the sections of the universe as evidence of the oneness of its Creator. It
advises us to look at the order which exists in the universe, and the fact that
such an order could not exist if there were more than One Creator. More than
one administration for the universe is like more than one administration for a
country. It produces confusion and disorder. If God
had a partner, it would¢ve created disturbance in Universe. If there were
in them (the heavens and the Earth) gods besides the Almighty God, they would
have been in a state of disorder. Glory be to Him. He is above what they
describe. -- Qur'an Partnership is a defect of God, it cannot be in a true
God. Partnership implies the fact that there are certain things even God can
not do, and for that God needs a partner. In that case it would be very
difficult to determine which God is better. He who needs a partner is not
worthy to be worshipped because his need of partnership strongly and obviously
demonstrates his weakness, and someone who is worshipped cant be weak because a
weak God is without authority, and a God without authority is no God at all. If
we suppose there are 2 Gods, then 1 of them should be able to remove other. If
first is able to remove other, then the 2nd is not God. If 1st is not able to
remove other, then he cannot be God. God is not a
physical entity. God is infinite. God is Eternal. He is from ever and will be
forever. Death is not for him, but rather death is a creation of His. God is
free from alteration. He is same every time and every place. Change of any kind
cannot be associated with God. He is never a child, old, asleep, awake, tired,
etc. He was not born from anybody, nor has anybody been born from him. No
entity in the Universe can ever comprehend His true state. No one in the world
can ever physically define Him. Assigning a shape to the One who is beyond our
limited perceptions would be to lie and giving a false appearance and a false
representation. God is incomprehensible and unimaginable. He is not similar to
anything. If anything comes to mind to be the God, even then it is not God.
