We believe that a true and comprehensive
understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the
Prophetic Tradition and the Prophet's Household. And Allah is the Source of Strength.
And None Is Like Him
" The Quran has very clearly described how or what Allah is or looks like. Therefore you should be on the look out for Allah and find Him. As Surah Ikhlas states, none is like Him.
This means whatever we can imagine, feel, perceive with any of our feelings, whatever we can experience, can not be Allah because nothing is like Him. The moment we can comprehend the existence of any being, it cannot be Allah for the very reason that it can not be like Allah.
You should realize that every single matter, energy, being, in this entire universe is subject to change.
Every thing in this universe is in a state of motion and change. The stars, the planets, the galaxies, the blackholes, the electrons. All matter is in a state of decay. When all the stars will die and the universe will black out, in 100 trillion years, the universe will have no light and only blackholes will exist. In 10 followed by 100 zeros or more years, all the blackholes will also evaporate.
Only one does not change its state, neither grows, nor decays. He was what He was before, He remains exactly the same, He remains as perfect and omnipotent as He always was and is. Everything except Him will be subject to change.
In your volatile and uncertain life and challenges, when you feel lost and your relationships also evolve, latch on to the only constant in your life, He (Allah), who has ordered all creation to be in a state of motion and change, so that the creator remains distinguished from the creation always.
