I do hope I am not asking a stupid question.I would like to know how a
believe in Islam should imagine Allah to be. I know He is invisiblebut
should I visualize him in a human form or a light. Please help me.
Thank you very much beforehand. May Allah's Blessings be always upon
you. Wassalaam.
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, All-Seer."
[al-Shoora 42:11].
There is nothing like unto Him, nothing that isequal or comparable to
Him or that can rival Him. He is far above any resemblance to any
created being. Whatevercrosses the mind of the son of Adam with
regardto his Lord, He is greater than that. No creature can encompass
Him, mayHe be glorified and exalted, or imagine what He looks like.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"… and they will never encompass anything of His
Knowledge." [Ta-Ha 20:110]
The Muslim is not supposed to try to imagine or picture Allaah;
rather, he has to believe in the sublime attributes which befit His
Might and Majesty in which there is none like unto Him. Part of the
'aqeedah (basic beliefs, creed) of the Muslims is that Allaah cannot
be seen in this world, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"No vision can grasp Him" [al-An'aam 6:103]
But the believers will seeHim in the Hereafter, in the gathering-place
where judgement will be passed, and in Paradise. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wasasked – as it was reported in
Saheeh Muslim – "Did you see your Lord?" He said, "I saw Light."
According to another report: "Light, how could I see Him?" This is in
accordance with what Allaah said to Moosa in Soorat
al-A'raaf(interpretation of the meaning):
" 'You cannot see Me'" i.e., in this world.
Neither the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) nor
anybody else has seen Allaah with his own two eyes. In the Hereafter,
when the people see Him in the place of gathering, they will fall down
in prostration before His Might and Majesty. Seeing Him in Paradise
will be the greatest of all the joys that the people of Paradise will
experience.
You have to recognize Allaah by the Names and Attributes which He has
told us about in His Book, and which His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us about.Do not occupy yourself
with something that is beyond you; devote yourself instead to
doingwhat your Lord has commanded you to do. Put aside these
whispersfrom the Shaytaan, and may Allaah help you to do that which
pleases Him.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
