If we were to just take some time off right now and just ponder upon 1% or even less of the things happening right.

Let’s use the example of your bodies.

The human was created in such a way that scientists, with all the technological advance we have today, cannot be created. Let’s take a look at only like 1% of you right now.

Start with your eyes, the organ you use to see everything around you.

There is no camera in the world that can equal or come close to the human eye.

Next, the brain, I don’t want to tell you how many signals are going through and in and out every millisecond as you are reading.

Now we can try our best to break down the entire human body and how most of it operates but we can’t reproduce it nor have proper reasoning for it. Why? Because the ‘being’ behind it is much greater and powerful and smarter than any human or device in the world. Now this is just a human. One of us. The world is a small place in universe. So you do the math.  

Our Creator, as we call him “God” created the universe as many people believe. But if we were to ask a friend right now to explain who or what God is, he would have to pause and think for a moment.

Every one of us has a connection, even a small one with someone who is superior to them.

We see even the irreligious people say things like “I swear to God” or during difficult times say “Oh God please help me”.

We feel like there is someone or something up there or somewhere that knows whatever is in our hearts, can listen to us when we speak to ourselves and can actually give us good luck or help us if we’re good people and bad luck if we’re bad, basically karma.

Now where did the word “God” come from?

The earliest written form of the Germanic word god comes from the 6th century Christian Codex Argenteus. The English word itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic * ǥuđan. Most linguists agree that the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form * ǵhu-tó-m was based on the root * ǵhau(ə)-, which meant either ‘to call’ or ‘to invoke’.

Now let’s break down what the major religions think of God:
 

Christianity

Christians believe in the Trinity - that is, in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Some confuse this and think that Christians believe in three separate gods, which they don't. Christians believe that God took human form as Jesus Christ and that God is present today through the work of the Holy Spirit and evident in the actions of believers.
 

Hinduism

Most Hindus worship one being of ultimate oneness (Brahman) through infinite representations of gods and goddesses. These various deities become personified within idols, temples, gurus, rivers, animals, etc.
 

Judaism

The main teachings of Judaism about God are that there is a God and there is only one God. Only God created the universe and only He controls it. Judaism also teaches that God is spiritual and not physical.

Jews believe that God is one – a unity: He is one, whole, complete being. He cannot be divided into parts and people cannot say how He looks in words; they can only say how He is and what He does.

Jews believe that all goodness and morality is from God. God is interested in what people do and He watches what they do.

Judaism teaches that all people are made in the image of God. This is why people must be treated with dignity and respect.

Buddhism

Buddhists do not worship any gods or God. People outside of Buddhism often think that Buddhists worship the Buddha. However, the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) never claimed to be divine, but rather he is viewed by Buddhists as having attained what they are also striving to attain, which is spiritual enlightenment and, with it, freedom from the continuous cycle of life and death.

Atheism

Even though it’s not really a religion, atheists believe there is no god. They say their belief is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods. There was no God to begin with.

Now we’ll get to what Islam says God towards the end.

Now what is God exactly? What does he look like? Let’s talk about the attributes of God.

Now the attributes of course differ from religion to another as some see God as an object or can be personified through another being. But let’s name some attributes of God according to the majority of people, who believe God is the Super Creator of the Universe that cannot be seen nor felt. These attributes are mentioned in the Bible, Torah and Quran. 

• God Is Infinite – He is SelfExisting, Without Origin
• God Is Immutable – He Never Changes
• God Is SelfSufficient – He Has No Needs
• God is Omnipotent – He Is All Powerful
• God Is Omniscient – He Is AllKnowing
• God Is Just – He Is Infinitely, Unchangeably Right and Perfect in All He Does
• God Is Good – He Is Infinitely, Unchangingly Kind and Full of Good Will
• God Is Merciful – He is Infinitely, Unchangeably Compassionate and Kind
• God Is Loving – God Infinitely, Unchangingly Loves Us
• God Is Glorious – He is Infinitely Beautiful and Great
• God Is Omnipresent – He Is Always Everywhere

This last one answers what I did earlier by looking up. Now Allah isn’t only up he is found everywhere and is actually closer to us than our jugular veins as mentioned in the Holy Quran, but as a sign of respect for the Almighty we imagine He is up there.

Now something worth mentioning is that most religions refer to God with masculine terminology, using such terms as "Him" or "Father”.  Now does that mean that he is male? Of course not, but it also doesn’t mean that he is female. But the use of masculinity here also is a sign of respect.

Now one might ask, “well then who created such a being, who created God?”

This question I’ll answer very simply by saying that if we were to assume that God was created and something came before Him then basically it would an endless question like a cycle. We would then say who created that God and the one before Him…..and so on. So the question is not a proper question to begin with.

Now what does Islam say about God?

Muslims believe there is the one almighty God, named Allah, who is infinitely superior to and unequalled to humankind. Allah is the creator of the universe and the source of everything. Everything that happens is Allah's will. He is a powerful judge so to say, who will be merciful toward followers depending on the sufficiency of their life's good works and religious devotion.

Everything submits to Him and everything exists by Him. He is the satisfaction of every poor, dignity of the low, energy for the weak and shelter for the oppressed. Whoever speaks, He hears his speaking, and whoever keeps quiet, He knows his secret. On Him is the livelihood of everyone who lives, and to Him returns whoever dies.
 

"God is the Creator of everything. He is the guardian over everything. Unto Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth." (39:62, 63)
 

"God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him: For then each god would have taken of that which he created and some of them would have risen up over others." (23:91)
