"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearer, the
Seer." (42:11)
This Holy Verse confirms the quality of hearing and the quality of sight for
Allah, without resemblance to others, and similarly He said:
"That which I have created with Both My Hands,' (38:75) and He also
said: 'The Hand of Allah is over their hands.' (48:10).
This confirms the Hand, for Allah, but there is no similarity for it. Also
another example, Allah said:
"The Beneficent (i.e. Allah) arose over the (Mighty) Throne."
(20:5)
So He arose over the Throne really in a manner that suits His Majesty. And
Allah is over His Throne over the Heavens, as the slave-girl pointed towards the
Heavens, when Allah's Apostle (Muhammad) asked her as to where is Allah? It is
not like that, as some people say that Allah is present everywhere and in the
creatures (i.e. human beings, etc.) This is strongly contradicted by Allah and
His Apostle, Muhammad. Almighty Allah is not present in any of His creatures,
Jesus the son of Mary, Gabriel, or any of the angels, they are only souls etc.,
created by Allah. Allah Himself (Dhat) is not present with us but He is present
with us by His Knowledge, He sees and hears all what we do or utter, etc. And
this is called (your confession for the) "Unity of the Names and Qualities
of Allah", and this is the Right Faith, the faith which was followed by the
apostles of Allah (from Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus to Muhammad
and all the others) and the companions of the Prophet Muhammad and the righteous
followers of these apostles.
POINT IV. A confession with your heart that you have to say: "O Allah! I
testify that Muhammad is Your Apostle," that means that none has the right
to be followed after Allah, but the Prophet Muhammad as he is, the last of His
Apostles.
As Almighty Allah said: "Muhammad is not the father of any man among you
but he is the Apostle of Allah and the last of the prophets and Allah is Aware
of all things (33:40).
"And whatever the Apostle (i.e. Muhammad) gives you, take it and
whatever he forbids you, abstain (from it)," (59:7)
and also Almighty Allah said:
"Say (O Muhammad!): "If you (mankind) really love Allah; then
follow me." (3:31)
As for others than Muhammad their statements are to be taken or rejected as
to whether these are in accordance with Allah's Book (i.e. the Qur'an) or with
the Tradition of the Prophet i.e. "Sunna" or not. As the Divine
Inspiration has stopped after the death of the Prophet Muhammad and it will not
resume except at the time of the Descent of Jesus, son of Mary and he (i.e.
Jesus) will rule
