প্রশ্নটি ইংরেজীতে ও লেখা ছিল। বাংলাতে উত্তর দিলেও ইংরেজি বা বাংলা জেকনভাবে রিপ্লাই দিলেই উপকৃত হবো।
Question: We firmly believe Allah exists and is not an abstract, formless void, but can we take the literal dictionary meaning of surah (صُورَة) from the authentic hadith as "form, shape, or image" for Allah[while affirming laysa kamithlihi shay' (nothing is like Him)]and is it correct to describe Allah as "formful" (bi-la kayf / without knowing how)? And what is the precise methodology of the Salaf regarding the sifah of surah(صُورَة), and do the scriptures definitively state whether Allah is formful, formless, or something else entirely?
