I SEE HIM WHEREVER I LOOKGOD HAS NO PHYSIQUE

The perception of an existence other than matter is difficult for those who are entrapped in the dungeons of materialism. They are now used to it and it is very difficult for them to rise above this level in their thoughts. The first step in correction is to consider God above the attributes of the creations especially the physical attributes like time and place, change or movement.

Till such time that we believe God to be above time and place we will never be able to actually recognize Him. Basically to have a place means to have a physical existence while we know from our previous discussions that God is no body and does not have physical attributes. He has no place nor is limited to time. It is he who encompasses all time and place.

With this brief introduction we will now study the verses of the Qura’n mentioned below:

Surah Baqarah Verse 115:

To God belong the east and west; God is wherever you face; verily He is all pervading all-knowing.

Verse 84 of Surah Zukhruf:

“It is He who is God in Heaven and God on earth; and He is full of wisdom and knowledge.”

Surah Hadeed Verse 4:

He is with you wherever you may be; God is the seer of whatever you do.

Surah Mujadilah Verse 7:

There is not a secret consultation between three , but He is the fourth among them; nor between five and He is the sixth, nor between fewer nor more but He is with them, wherever they be: in the end will, on the Day of Judgment will He tell them what they did. God has full knowledge of everything.

Surah Qaf Verse 16:

It was We who created man and We know what suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

Surah Hadeed Verse 3:

He is the first and the last the evident and the hidden; and He has full knowledge of all things. (1)

Surah Waaqiah Verses 84-85:

And then you remain gazing, and We are nearer to him than you, yet you do not perceive us.

 


 

1. This is among the best of the verses mentioned and gives a composite picture for them as Surah Buruj verse 20 and Surah Anam verse 3.
