What does the attribute “Kalaam” mean?

The attribute “Kalaam” means Allah Almighty has the command of speech. He speaks to His Prophets when He wills without the aid of tongue as He hears and sees with out  the ears and eyes since these things are limbs and parts of the body and Allah Almighty is Pure and free from such things. His “Kalaam” does not need sound or voice and is eternal like His other attributes. All the Divine books and the Holy Qur-aan which we read and write are also eternal. Our reading (recitation), writing, hearing and committing the Holy Qur-aan to memory is “Haadis”(created act) and what we have read (recited), written, heard and committed to memory is “Qadeem”(eternal).

What are these afore-mentioned seven attributes called?

“Hayaat” (Life, Self-existence), “Qudrat” (Omnipotence), “Sam’a” (the All-hearing), “Basar” (the All-seeing),’ Ilm ( Omniscience), “Iraadah”(the Will) and “Kalaam” (Speech, Word) are the Self-attributes of Allah.

What does “Takveen-o-Takhleeq” mean?

“Takveen-o-Takhleeq” means creation of all the worlds. Allah Almighty is the Supreme Creator Who has created all the universes and will create what He wills. Each and every thing is His creature like “Arb’a ‘ Anaasir” (the four elements – fire, water, air and the earth of which the world and men are composed)

If He wills to create anything He simply says “Kun” (be) and that immediately comes into being. All men and their words and actions are His creation. The attributes of causing death, life, health, sickness, richness, poverty etc. which concern the mankind and other creatures are called extra,additional attributes or attributes of actions. These sub-attributes are subject to “Sifaat-e-Takveen”(the attributes of creativeness).

What is meant by “Sifat-e-Razzaaqi-yat”?

“Sifat-e-Razzaqi-yat” means Allah Almighty is “Razzaaq” (Provider of Subsistence,food). The angels are a mere means of the Divine system to this effect.

What are “Sifaat-e-Sulbi-yah”?

“Sifaat-e-Sulbi-yah” are those from which Allah Almighty is Pure and free like: He is not ignorant, powerless, incapable, blind, deaf, dumb, tyrant, He has no figure, He is free from time and space, direction, movement, changes, eating, drinking and all human needs and activities. He has no father, no son, no wife nor His likes.

Is “Deedar” (sight) of Allah possible or not?

Allah’s “Deedar” (sight) in the mortal world is an exclusive privilege for His Beloved Prophet Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ and in the next world every Muslim (true believer) will be graced with Allah’s Sight which is the greatest blessing in paradise. As for Allah’s Deedar (Sight) in dream and through the eyes of heart, the Prophets even saints have been honoured with.

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)
