Peace be upon you and your loved ones!
Humbly, I try to present some words on this limitless subject:
Allah / God is the light of the heavens and earth. Every light that is seen, be it high or low, whether it belongs to souls or pertains to bodies, or it substantive, or attributive, whether hidden or evident, be it subjective or objective, it is a mere bounty of His Grace.
God is the source of all Grace and is the ultimate cause of every light, the Founatin head of all mercies. His being is the support of universe and the refuge of all, high and low. He is who brought everything out of the darkness of nothingness and bestowed upon everything the mantle of being. He exists by itself; all other beings are recipients of His grace.He is alive from ever to ever. He speaks even now whom He choses to for it.
God hears as He used to hear.All His attribtes are eternal and everlasting.He can reveal Himself in dream or in dream-in-awakening or in revelation but he has no body, nor any shape. He is Comprehensive,we have lesser dimensions so He,if he wills, manifest to us in subtle form. He is purest,one has to be pure in thoughts and deeds to get the blessings of His-experience, as He wish.He is sum total of all perfect attributes.He is the One to whom everything returns.All particles and all souls are made by Him.One can attain Him only by Him.
God creates from nothing. A sample of this is shown in our system of dreams where we tarvel in worlds which are not present in physical worlds. True dreams is faculty, given to us by God so that we can taste the aspect of spirituality. When true dreams are refined to highest form of purity they become revelation. Prophets get true dreams in the beginning. Then they were blessed with talks from God or revelations. Life of holy prophets is a mirror in which God reflects.
More aspects of this subject.
=====================
Attributes of Allah / God - Verses from holy Quran about Allah and much more
IDEA OF GOD IS NOT MAN MADE.
========================
According to some scholars:
1- The ancient naïve people assumed the natural phenomenon to be manifestations of deities out of fear and greed and their thought process evolved from many smaller gods to a single God while smaller gods existed too.
2- And at a later stage, some people started claiming to have communication with God/gods.
ABOVE THEORY has flaws:
------------------------
1=Thought of such scholars is based on presumption that no God exists. Their assumption is not based on any real research.
2= History of past lifestyles began about 200+ thousand years ago as compared to the actual history of religious development which began hardly some thousand of years in past. Thus, some scholars’ theories about religion’s development are only prefixed suppositions.
3= Greed and fear do not make one to worship. During heavy storms, the ancient man would try to find cover, not start worshiping the storms.
4= When the scientists discuss about evolution, they try to work out the step by step advancement of life through noticeable path back to a billion years but the above mentioned some scholars have not used such scientific methods for their hypothesis about evolution of religion……..There is no proof of evolution in the image of God…...No idolatrous society ever evolved to monotheistic religion!
BELIEVE IN GOD IS NOT EVOLVED FROM SMALLER GODS:
-------------------------------------------------------------
1- Belief of holy Noah in the Unity of God was degenerated by his distant progeny into the earthly myths of many gods by the time of holy Abraham.
2- Holy Abraham, like all prophets, once again launched a huge struggle for the re-establishment of belief in Unity. It succeeded at last, and the torch of Unity was held high by his descendants and others who followed him for many a generation to come.
3- The old fateful trend of decadence set in eventually with the same disastrous consequences…..Within a few hundred years from the time of Abraham, practice of idol worship sneaked in……This continued until the time of Moses.
4- Although holy Moses was an outstanding champion of the cause of Unity among prophets, idolatry kept infiltrating and defiling the faith of his followers during the subsequent centuries.
5- Please remember the claim of some scholars as they said that Unity was evolved from many small gods BUT we observe reverse happenings of human belief decaying from Unity to idolatry.
6- Another example is house of God, built by holy Abraham, dedicated only to the Unity of God. It did not take the idols very long to reenter this illustrious House of God……Except the name everything was changed. It was ultimately occupied by no less than three hundred and sixty idols……There was room for all of them, but no room for God.
7- Eventually, the flag of struggle to re-establish the Unity of God passed on to holy prophet of Islam by revelation. Early followers were dragged on awfully hot sand of Arabia with heavy stones placed on their chests to force them not to testify the Unity of God --- God is One, God is One. This message of Unity of God was forecasted to get rebroadcast to six directions in latter days by holy promised reformer.(@ alislam.org)
8- Now, a question arises. Why message of Unity decays after getting established? Human are born with noble but raw faculties and they have to toil upward towards moral stage of self controls. Then comes the stage in which soul comes to peace with God. This journey within the self requires effort. The message of Unity of God is manifested through His teaching which descends and is revealed upon the most pious person of the time. He single handedly brings the message to people and part of his message is against the popular evils of the time. He gets success against all odds. His message reminds the hearts of people the imprinted-in hearts testimony of Unity of God. That message go through and a society of pious natured people start to cluster around the Man of God. Just as gravity pulls the things which are not held by any support, after long time from that man of God, people start forgetting the teachings and slide down back to raw-state of selves. Message of Unity of God loses its vehicles (i.e. people who previously progressed from raw state to moral state or in peace-with-God state). The result is decay of message of Unity of God. After a critical limit, Unity of God is again reminded.
9- Hence, idea of many gods to One God is not correct. Unity of god descends.
Allah bears witness, being firm upon justice, that there is no God but He and (also do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge. There is no God but He, the Mighty, the Wise. (3:19 HOLY QURAN)
