You will never learn it from him, and nothing is from God in anyone, and it is not permissible for him in any way, so no one knows it from himself and his mind.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “God is hidden from the minds just as He is hidden from us.” On the authority of sight, and that the Most High are seeking Him just as you are seeking Him.

Then he, peace be upon him, was told that the mind did not perceive it with its thought or with the eyes of its insight, just as sight did not perceive it. This is what we referred to in the previous chapter. Praise be to God for what He inspired, even if He taught us what He did not We do not know, and God’s grace is great.

[ Exaltation and the denial of resemblance and resemblance ]

Thus let it be exaltation and the denial of resemblance and resemblance. And whoever goes astray from the resemblance does not go astray except by interpretation and interpretation. What was reported in the verses and narrations on the basis of what preceded them was brought to the understanding without considering what God Almighty requires of exaltation, and that led them to pure ignorance and outright disbelief, even if they sought safety and left the narrations and verses as they came, without turning away from them to anything at all and entrusting the knowledge of that to God Almighty and His Messenger, and they say, “We do not know,” and it was sufficient for them to say that God Almighty said, “There is nothing like Him.” So when a hadith comes to them in which there is an analogy, God has likened something, and He has denied the similarity from Himself, Glory be to Him. So what remains is that that report has a basis.
