not for him.

own consent.
- Knowledgeable: That He knows everything at its root, without any
aid. He don't have any need of eyes, ears, hands, nose, etc. or any other
means for His knowledge. He knows everything from ever and is never
forgetful of anything.
- Truthful: That He is Truth Worthy.
- One: God is Absolutely One and only One, having no parts of any
kind. He is Unique, nothing is similar to Him.

Absolute and Perfect Creator. He created everything from nothing.
The Almighty Creator brings to existence everything with utmost Perfection and nothing in
His Universe is imperfect.

Qualities that does not Exist in God
- Partnership: He has no partner or colleague of any kind and at any
stage.
- Composition: God is not a compound of any kind. Every thing may be
made up of atoms or sub-atomic particles. These atoms and sub-atomic
particles are its creations, then how He can be made-up of these?
- Location: We cannot locate God in space, yet He is present
everywhere. His position can never be specified. It is His creations that
can be located in space at some particular position.
- Assimilation: That He cannot be mixed, merged or fused with any
other thing.
- Alteration: He is free from alteration. He is same every time and
every place. Change of any kind cannot be with God. He is never child, old,
asleep, awaked, napping, etc.
- Perceptible: That He is invisible and not detectable directly.
However, He can be seen through His creations only. No one can see him,
anytime and anywhere. No entity in His
Universe can ever comprehend His true state. No one in the world can ever
physically define Him. Ascribing a shape to the One who is beyond our limited perceptions
would be tantamount to lying and giving a false appearance and a false representation. In
addition, to believe that one can see God in the physical sense of sitting on a throne
like some mythical being is certainly an untrue statement and should never be accepted.
- Needy: He is never in need of anyone. Everyone has need of
Him, always.
- His qualities are not part of Himself. He and His qualities are not
different thing. It is also specific to God only. Every other thing has

to be the God, then it is not God.

- Death: He will never be dead.

Location above.
- Time: He has no effect of time. See alternation above.
- Sex: Sex cannot be defined for God.
How the God is One
- If there was partner of God, it would have created disturbance in
Universe.
- Partnership is a defect of God, that cannot be in God.
- All Messengers of God (Prophets) are from one God. They all said that He
is one. If there were other god, then he must have sent his messengers.
- If we suppose two gods, then one of them will be able to remove other or
not. If first is able to remove other, then the second is not god. If first
is not able to remove other, then he cannot be god.
- God told his Prophets that He is one. If He tell them a lie, then lie is a
defect, defect cannot be in God.
