He is exalted above the creatures but without being far from them or being in touch with them (physically). He has no limit to reach nor there is anything similar to Him to help know Him better, All things are humble before His power and might. All things, although great, are small before Him. All things respect His Greatness. They obey His authority and Majesty. Glimpses of eyes are weak and exhausted in trying to comprehend Him.

The imaginations of the creatures fall far short of describing Him. He is the first before all things and there was no one before Him. He is the last after all things and there is no ‘After’ for Him. He has control over all things with might. He observes all places without moving thereto. No touching touches Him and no sense senses Him. He is the Lord in the heavens and the Lord on earth. He is All-wise and All-knowing.

He has given firm shape and form to His creatures the way He willed but not with following previous examples or experiencing any fatigue in the creation of the things that He has created. In the cases of the two great and heavy creatures, mankind and Jinn, He began what He wanted to begin and invented what He wanted to invent, and the way He willed. He did what He did so that they would know through such evidence His Lordship. He made it possible for them to obey Him.

“We thank Him with all of His praise for all of His bounties. We ask Him for His guidance to give us wisdom in our affairs. We seek refuge with Him from the evil of our sinful deeds and ask Him to forgive our sins that we may have committed before. We testify that no one deserves to be obeyed and worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad -asws is His servant and messenger, He sent him with truth as a prophet, as a sign of His existence and a guide to Him.

We found guidance through him from straying and are saved through him from ignorance. Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger has indeed gained a great success and has earned a great reward. Whoever disobeys Allah and His messenger has indeed suffered a clear loss and is subject to a painful punishment. Do your best to succeed in obedience, listening, sincerity, good advice and proper support. Be helpful to yourselves to keep on the straight path and shun the detested matters.

Deal among yourselves with truth and cooperate thereby with me. Hold back the unjust and feebleminded hands. Make others do good deeds and prevent them from committing unlawful deeds.
