How Does God Look Like ?

Many people have this very common question : How was God look like and where is he ?
I myself came across this question in my early childhood. I could finally have some peace when I discovered the answer, myself. The answer to “where” is in my other post.

God has no material or physical form or existence. He is metaphysical. He is Noor (Bright White Light & Energy). This doesn’t imply that God cannot take a physical form. He is the almighty and He has power over everything.
In place Allah says: On the day of judgement, a man will ask what did I do wrong ? and Allah will reply, I once came to your door in the world for help and you denied to help me. At that point the man will say: “O mighty Allah, when and how did you come to my door ?”. Allah will reply: “I once came in the form of my creation and you denied to help me”.

Allah has certain attributes that we know of. Man has five senses and cannot feel any other sensation, so it is very difficult to imagine what sort of sensations do other senses have? Man may be incapable to even think about them. Allah has certain attributes that have been gifted to man as well has like listening, seeing etc… One of the other attributes is forgiveness. In the Quran, it is mentioned at numerous places that Allah is the all knowing, all wise Who can see and listen. He knows what we do and that what is inside our hearts.

Prophet Musa (Moses) used to talk directly with Allah. One day he wished to see Allah.
He went to Koh-e-toor (The Toor Mountain) and asked Allah to show Himself. Allah said Musa(A.S), you won’t be able to sustain this. Musa (A.S) insisted to see just a part of Allah. Allah showed him just a micro-microscopic glance of Himself, the whole mountain of Toor, burned down to ashes and Prophet Musa (A.S) was unable to sustain just this tiny fraction of the glimpse and fainted away.

Allah is majestic and is everywhere in the Universe. He exists everywhere and in everything. Scientifically, Allah may be the Energy in the universe. There exist two things in the universe: Matter and Energy. All matter is getting converted to Energy and Energy is Light and Energy. Our spirit is our Energy, without it; even a perfect biological system won’t work. Energy is present in every corner of the universe.
At microscopic level we know the ‘atom’. In the atom, we have electrons that keep on orbiting the centre (Nucleus). Knowledge of Physics and Chemistry can tell us all how the electrons are arranged, how they move and what is their behaviour; however all knowledge fails to explain why the electron keeps orbiting ? and from where does it get this continuous energy ? This energy maybe the Creator himself. As electrons & atoms are the basic building blocks of every single thing in the universe and exist in the whole universe.

Once the Prophet Muhammad (sws) went to the skies to meet Allah. On his return the companions asked “What does Allah look like?” Prophet Muhammad (sws) replied “He looks like me, those who have seen me have thus seen Allah” The Prophet Muhammad (sws) is known to posses to a lot of Noor and can be regarded as the closest to Allah in appearance and in attributes. He is the reflection of Allah on Earth. Some people are not aware of the fact that the Prophet Muhammad (sws) did not have any shadow of his own.
