5. Allah Ta‘ala is alive. He has existed since eternity and will remain for eternity. Allah Ta‘ala does not have any beginning or end. [1]
6. There is nothing that resembles Allah Ta‘ala in His being and attributes. He is completely unique in his zaat (being) and sifaat (attributes), and there is nothing that can equal or be compared to Allah Ta‘ala. Hence, Allah Ta‘ala does not have a colour, shape or a form, as is the condition of the creation. [2]
7. Allah Ta‘ala is not restricted to space or time. Rather, He is the Creator of space and time. [3]
8. Allah Ta‘ala is all-powerful and has knowledge of everything. There is nothing that is hidden from His knowledge. [4]
