To explain what God is not like, the Glorious Qur’an negates any attribute that is contradictory to or incompatible with God’s Glory and Perfection, for example:

• Neither slumber nor sleep overtake Him. (Qur’an 2:225).

• It is He Who feeds but is not fed. (Qur’an 6:14).

• Nothing in the heavens or the earth is hidden from God. (Qur’an 3:5).

• Never think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. (Qur’an 14:42).

• God does not commit an atom’s weight of injustice; and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it. (Qur’an 4:40).

• “Did you think that We* (God) created you aimlessly and that you shall not be brought back to Us?” (Qur’an 23:115).

• He (God) created seven heavens in layers. You see no flaw in the creation of the Most Beneficent. Look again! Do you see any rifts? (Qur’an 67:3).

• They say, “God has taken a son.” Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. (2:116).

* Royal We used by God in the Qur’an to denote majesty and power.
