Avro52, you are wrong.. you keep asking the same question: Have you seen God? Have you spoken to God? Has God spoken to you?
Which are only the stupid questions repeated by atheists everywhere and at all time.
And some people insist stubbornly on such questions and whatever they are told, they return to the same point.
Can the impossible be possible?
I mean not every impossible, but the impossible impossible..
like someone asked me once: Can God take a son for Himself? This can't be because God is the absolute truth, and it is not proper for Him to have any son or daughter.
God prescribed for Himself to be Merciful, as in the Quran.
However, Imam Ali - salam to him - was asked this question: Have you seen God?
He said:
God cannot be seen by the sight of eyes, but it is hearts and minds that see God facts of the true faith: [to see His marvels in the creation ..etc.]
Moreover, if you contemplate these words ascribed to Imam Ali, he differentiated between the sight and the eye; because
the eye is the organ of seeing, while
the sight is the eye of the soul.. so
the seeing truly is by the sight of the soul, not by the eye of the body which is like a glass through which the soul sees with its sight.
But God cannot be seen by the eye of the body, neither by the sight of the soul which means:
neither can material beings see Him, nor can spiritual beings see Him.
Comment: If you see God (which is impossible in fact), then He will be restricted and limited because your sight has fallen on Him and you have seen Him .. while this is impossible.
Like other impossible things as: Can God make pastime? or amusement? Or can He have any defect: which is the impossible.
This soora includes the observation of God's marvels
N.B. If you are a wrong-doer (or transgressor insisting on your sins), you may not be guided; because God does not guide wrong-doers.
But if you are not a wrong-doer, and you regret about your sins and mistakes, then God may guide you.. All guidance and misguidance is up to God.
God is the All-Knowing about His servants; therefore, He guides whomever He pleases and misguides whomever He likes to misguide (the wrong-doers.)
