    Allah has no form

    Most apt "logical" answer to ur query

    Without comparing Allah to the creation one can use mental evidences to prove the existence of the Creator. When one sees a building, one knows there is a builder; when one sees a painting, one knows there is a painter; when one sees the creation, one knows there is a Creator. Allah is the Creator. Allah exists without a place because He always existed and He created all the places. Allah existed eternally and place did not, and Allah exists now as He has been, i.e., without residing in a place, whether this place is skies, Earth, Paradise, Hell, or any other place in the six directions. Allah does not change. Change is a sign of need and need is non-befitting to attribute to God. Allah is perfect. If something changes for the bad, it is no longer perfect, and if it changes for the good, it was not perfect to begin with. Therefore, Allah does not change. He is not in Heaven. He is not in everyone. He is not everywhere. He does not occupy a space now, He never did, and He never will. Allah exists without a place.

    Allah is one; He is indivisible, i.e., He is not a body. Allah has no partner, no counterpart, no wife, no son. Intellectively, this is understood because if there were two partners and one partner willed for one thing to be and the other partner willed the opposite thing--we know opposites do not happen simultaneously--so the one who willed what did not occur is weak. Weakness is non-befitting to attribute to God; therefore, there is only one God. For the same reason, the Devil does not have control over God and evil occurs because Allah willed it. There is a wisdom behind everything--even if we do not know the wisdom--Allah knows.

    Allah has no beginning to His existence. Anything that has a beginning is creation. Allah created every creation, every movement, every rest, every thought, every intention. To have a beginning is a sign of need, and Allah is not in need. Allah has no end to His existence. To have an end is weakness; the Creator is not weak.

    Is that ok for you??

    بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشۡكَوٰةٍ۬ فِيہَا مِصۡبَاحٌ‌ۖ ٱلۡمِصۡبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ‌ۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّہَا كَوۡكَبٌ۬ دُرِّىٌّ۬ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ۬ مُّبَـٰرَڪَةٍ۬ زَيۡتُونَةٍ۬ لَّا شَرۡقِيَّةٍ۬ وَلَا غَرۡبِيَّةٍ۬ يَكَادُ زَيۡتُہَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوۡ لَمۡ تَمۡسَسۡهُ نَارٌ۬‌ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ۬‌ۗ يَہۡدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۚ وَيَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَـٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ۬ (٣٥)

    ٱللَّهُ is noor of whole sky and arz [ earth]; Like noorehee kumeeshkuwuaten ( The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah setteth forth for mankind similitudes, for Allah is Knower of all things. (35) ).

    Tell me after read above answer, "Where the teaching of spirit or body ?".

    Say: He is Allah, the One! (1) Allah, the eternally Besought of all! (2) He begetteth not nor was begotten. (3) And there is none comparable unto Him. (4)

    the bible says the same

    Mark 12:28-29 - God is one. ( there are 10'000 other places this line is in the bible if they choose to read )

    Hosea 13:4

    Yet I have been the LORD your GodSince the land of Egypt;And you were not to know any god except Me,For there is no savior besides Me. (also Isaiah 43:3)

    Numbers 23:19

    God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind

    In short God/Allah is one.. you cannot imagine what He is like nor can you find His likeness in any form or thing or creation. No one has seen Him and no one shall see Him until the day of resurrection.

    Exodus 33:20, John 1:18, 1 Timothy 6:16 - No one saw God.

    Isaiah 42:8 - Do not praise and worship images.

    Islam does teach his followers the existence of God. What beautiful is, Islam told to muslim that God is the mightiest, muslim will never ever can imagine how is God, how is His power, all of that things are beyond our thinking. if human think a figure of God, that is not God. our mind is limited to think of anything related to God

    All does is not related with and does not have any charecterstics of men such as body. He is the creator of body and thus was there before body. He is ever present when nothing (even the word nothing) was there.

    There are many interpretations of God's description but all agree that he is no match to any of his creations. He is no match to any thing you can imagine.

    the only verse that applies to what you're speaking approximately is the final one from a million Corinthians, that's addressing prayer. i could assume because of the fact of this Orthodox Christian women placed on them in church and that different Christian women do no longer see it as necessary to salvation or no count if or no longer God hears them. you need to additionally renowned that most of the cases of Muslim women being asked to get rid of their veils has no longer something to do with their faith. Take the female who tried submitting a lawsuit because of the fact she refused to instruct her face on her driving force's license; sorry, yet that's what a image on the license is for. Take different Muslim women who won't have the capacity to go into specific swimming pools or play soccer because of the fact the veils violate the two secure practices themes or dress codes; apologies if the religion they choose for calls for them to make sacrifices.

    Wouldn't it be nice if someone could ask a genuine question about islam without the trolls coming out? Ah this bigotry is so annoying.

    I bet the answer is probably in the Quaran.
