About Allah-Close To Us

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem””Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

What is meant by “Allahu ta’ala is close to us?”

Wujood and siffat not with respect to zaat (Allah is not like the creation.you cannot understand his zaat)

Divine Attributes are the shades of the Divine Person (Zat-i ilahi), and since Allahu ta’ala Himself is the original of all the originals, the Person of Allahu ta’ala is closer to the beings than the beings themselves, the Divine Deeds, and the Divine Attributes.

Created things exist because they “borrow” their existence from God. All creatures are the shades, reflections, and images of Allahu ta’ala’s deeds.

‘Nothing can move by itself. There is a power that makes every object move. This power is Allah’s power. Everything is made by Allahu ta’ala.’

As Allahu ta’ala gives angels and genies the strength to take various shapes, He also gives this strength to the souls of His born servants whom He loves very much.

ABOUT ALLAH

Allahu ta’ala exists by His zat; His existence is of Himself. As He exists now, He has always been existing and will continue to exist. There cannot be nonexistence before or after His being. His existence is indispensable. That is, He is Wajib-ul-wujud (the Indispensable Being).

For having a partner, Allahu ta’ala has to be insufficient, dependent, which are defects and faults. There cannot be deficiencies in wujub, and uluhiyyat [ ‘Wujub’ means ‘being necessary.’ It also means ‘the being whose existence is indispensable.’

‘Uluhiyyat’ means ‘being worthy of being worshipped and entreated.’

Allahu ta’ala has perfect Attributes that are not deficient. They are: hayat (to exist), ‘ilm (to know), sam’ (to hear), basar (to see), qudrat (to be omnipotent), irada (to will), kalam (to say) and takwin (to create). These eight Attributes are called Sifat-i thubutiyya or Sifat- i haqiqiyya. These attributes of His are eternal. That is, they are not (of recent occurrence). They exist separately from Himself.

The other Attributes of Allahu ta’ala are either itibari (thought of as being) or salbi (impossible to exist).

Allahu ta’ala is not a substance. He is not a state, place, time ,entered anything or settled in any place, limited or surrounded by anything, on any side or in any direction, connected with anything,resemble anything,have a likeness or an opposite, have a mother, father, wife or children. They are all signs of a defect and fault. They are all Sifat-i Salbiyya. All perfect attributes exist in Allahu ta’ala. No defective attributes exists in Him.

Paradise is also a creature of Allahu ta’ala, as everything is. Allahu ta’ala does not enter or stay in any of His creatures. But His divine lights appear in some of His creatures. all the faithful will see Allah with their own eyes but they will not perceive Him.

they will only attain two things knowledge and pleasure,will be with the vision.

witnessing or vision of God will be a transcendant, unqualifiable experience.

Condition of heart grants wilayat (deeds are supportive)

Ahle taufiq/guided are ahle muhabbat/love (ibadat with love)

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
