Tauheed-Attributes Of God

“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)

Attributes of God:

“Say: Call upon Allah, or Call upon Rahman:By whatever name you call Upon Him, (it is well): For to Him belong The Most Beautiful Names.”[ 17/110] (7/180) (20/8) (59/24).

Each attribute of God is unique and possessed by Him alone:

The attribute of Almighty God should be unique. If I say God is the constructor of buildings, it is possible and true, but it is not unique. Thousands of people can construct a building. But each attribute of Allah is unique and points to none but Allah. For example, God is the creator of the universe.

Almighty Allah:”Ar-Raheem”, the Most Merciful” Ar-Rahman”, the Most Gracious” Al-Hakeem”, the Most Wise .So when one asks, “Who is ‘Ar-Raheem’, (the Most Merciful)?”, there can only be one answer: “Almighty Allah”.

One attribute of God should not contradict with other attributes.

All attributes should point to the one and same God:

Since there is only one God, all the attributes should point to one and the same God. Similarly to say that the Creator of the universe is one God and the Cherisher is another God is absurd because God possesses all these attributes combined together.

Unity of God

if there were more than one God, they would dispute with one another, each god trying to fulfill his will against the will of the other gods.

If a ‘God’ is defeated or unable to defeat the others, he is surely not the one true God. There cannot be an ignorant and incapable God.

If there were more than one God it would surely lead to confusion, disorder, chaos and destruction in the universe. But the universe is in complete harmony.

“If there were, in the heavens And the earth, other gods Besides Allah, there would Have been confusion in both! But glory to Allah, The Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above What they attribute to Him!” [ 21/22]

If there were more than one God, they would have taken away what they created.

The Qur’an says:”No son did Allah beget, Nor is there any god Along with Him: (if there were Many gods), behold, each god Would have taken away What he had created, And some would have Lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) From the (sort of) things They attribute to Him!”[23/91]Thus the existence of one True, Unique, Supreme, Almighty God, is the only logical concept of God.

“There is nothing Whatever like unto Him, And He is the One That hears and sees (all things).”[ 42/11]

“Say: ‘Who is it that Sustains you (in life) From the sky and from the earth?Or who is it that Has power over hearing And sight? And who Is it that brings out The living from the dead And the dead from the living? And who is it that Rules and regulates all affairs?’ They will soon say, ‘Allah’. Say, ‘Will you not then Show piety (to Him)?’ “[ 10/31]

“If thou ask them, Who Created them, they will Certainly say, ‘Allah’: how Then are they deluded Away (from the Truth)?” [43/87]

“And most of them Believe not in Allah Without associating (othersAs partners) with Him!” [ 12/106]

“Allah forgives not That partners should be set up With Him; but He forgives Anything else, to whom He pleases; to set up Partners with Allah Is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.” [4/48]

“Allah forgives not (The sin of) joining other gods With Him; but He forgivesWhom He pleases other sins Than this: one who joins Other gods with Allah, Has strayed far, far away (From the Right).” [4/116]

“They do blaspheme who say: ‘Allah is Christ the son Of Mary.’ But said Christ: ‘O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord And your Lord’. Whoever joins other gods with Allah – Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire Will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers Be no one to help.” [5/72]

Say: “O people of the Book! Come To common terms As between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; That we associate no partners with Him; That we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” If then they turn back, Say ye: “Bear witness that we (at least) Are Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will).” [3/64]

“And if all the trees on earth were pens And the Ocean (were ink), with seven Oceans behind it To add to its (supply), yet would not the Words Of Allah be exhausted (In the writing): for Allah Is Exalted in power, Full of Wisdom.” [31/27]

If ruh occupies heart =angelic and if nafs occupies heart =hywani/animal instinct.

Human =becomes high above angels (with ilm)  or falls below animals (with nafs).

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)
