Heavenly Jewels

without comparison is that if one thinks of a bird, then one's mind can comprehend a bird's physique and one will thus be able to imagine or picture a bird. The reason for this is because it is tangible which the mind can understand through reasoning and knowledge. Now, none can imagine or picture Allah (The Exalted). Thus, the human mind can not comprehend Allah (The Exalted's) Being as it is beyond the understanding of the creation. However, it has been explained that,through the Attributes of Allah (The Exalted), such as His Mercy, His Wrath etc. we are able to know about Allah (The Exalted) and His commands. AA Belbf: Just as His Being is Qadeem, Azali and Abadi (all these terms mean non-created always was, always will be); His attributes are also Qadeem, Azali and Abadi. It must be understood that Allah (The Exalted) is Self Existent. Allah (The Exalted) is "All Existing" in other words not created, always was and always will be. A.S Belief: With the exception of Allah (The Exalted's) Being and Attributes (such as Allah) being Most Merciful, The Sustainer etc. everything else is "Haadis" meaning that it did not exist and only came into existence after Allah (The Exalted) created them. In other words the Angels" Prophets, Jinns, humans and everything ·else in the universe only came into existence after being created by Allah (The Exalted), so they are all known as "Creation". In other words, all creation came into existence through Allah (The Exalted's) command. A.6 Belief: Any person who says the attributes of Allah (The Exalted) to be a creation is a mislead and corrupt person. A. 7 Belief: Any person who says anything in the universe to be Qadeem (uncreated) or has a doubt in it being Haadis (created) is an unbeliever (Kaafir). 13
