Allah (SWT) Has The Absolute Virtues like Absolute Knowledge of everything and Absolue Power and Absolute Wisdom and Absolute Mercy etc, while human being is full of weakness and with very limited knowledge, so how can Allah (SWT) become a human being??

How can The Absolute Powerful becomes weak? How can The Absolute Knowing becomes an ignorant??

Allah (SWT) is Above all our imaginations and we can never compare ourselves with Allah (SWT).

Worship . God (Allah)

What advice is best for Muslims who aim to please Allah (SWT) without seeking rewards for their good deeds, as stated by Imam Ali (AS), "Worship Allah (SWT) because He deserves to be worshipped"?

Those humble servants of Allah (SWT) who want to worship Allah not for seeking reward or fearing punishment but just because Allah is entitled to be worshiped, need to think more about the Great bounties of Allah on them, and His Great Tributes. This can make them love Allah more and worship Him out if loving Him as He is The Real Entitled to be worshiped.

They learn from the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt who are the bast servants of Allah, the steps and degrees of sincere worship of Allah (SWT).

Polygamy . God (Allah) . Ayat al-Tathir

How can we determine that the Ayah of Tathir excludes the Prophet's (s) wives, given that Allah mentions them in the verse?

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) called Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain and did not allow any of his wives to join when he explained who are involved in the Verse of Purification (Tatheer). Umm Salama who was the best of the wives after Khadija narrated that herself.

Arsh . Bihar al-Anwar . God (Allah) . Karbala

What is the meaning behind the Hadith mentioned in Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 98, Ch. 14, Hadith 11, that says visiting Imam Husain's grave is equivalent to visiting Allah on His Arsh?

Visiting the shrine of Imam Husain (AS) is like visiting the Arsh of Allah (Eight greatest servants of Allah who carry the Arsh).

This shows the great importance of visiting Imam Husain (AS).

What reward does the Almighty bestow upon Imam Hussain that is both befitting to his sufferings and reflects the justice, generosity, and mercy of God? Based on this, God has granted him many rewards, one of which is the honor and grandeur in this world to the extent that encourages and motivates all people to visit the sacred shrine of Imam Hussain and promises great rewards to the visitors. One of these divine promises is a hadith that Sheikh Mufid and others have repeatedly narrated. Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq said: "... And whoever visits the grave of Imam Hussain on the day of Ashura is as if meeting God on His throne." Of course, this is not strange, as we have similar narrations regarding visiting the Prophet's grave as well. Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq said: "Whoever visits the Messenger of God is as if meeting God on His throne." Imam Ridā said about the significance of visiting God: Since visiting Him is not possible, God has equated visiting the Prophet as visiting Himself. It should be noted that visiting Imam Hussain keeps alive the lofty goals of that noble Imam, which is indeed to safeguard the religion of God and the commandments of the Quran.

God (Allah) . Satan

Why did God create Shaytan if He is Just?

Satan was not created a Satan as he is now with the devilish power. For many years he was a companion and associate of the the angels. He misused his position and power, and began to rebel against goodness and truth, and started doing wrong and evil and finally turned to what it is now. On the other hand; SATAN can systematically not harm or seduce a

believer unless he is obeyed. As for those who wish to tread the path of truth SATAN is a means of manifesting, and bringing to action the possibilities and hidden power of man; for evolution always establishes through contraction and conflicts.

So creation of Satan as a Jinn who used to worship Allah for a long time before creation of Adam has nothing to do with Injustice.

God (Allah) . Qur'anic Verse . Sunni-Shi'a . Anthropomorphism

How can I use Quranic verses and Ahle Sunnah literature to counter my friend's belief in Allah SWT having limbs, where he has referenced Quran 5:64?

Quranic verses in any subject can not be taken separately from few Verses but we must read all the verses on the specific subject. Limbs in Arabic language do not necessarily means the superficial linguistic meaning but it means also the power of Allah which above all. Allah said in Quran in a very clear verse: Nothing is like Allah. (ليس كمثله شيء) Sura Al-Shura, verse 11. This verse refutes every claim of those who misunderstood Quranic verses regarding Allah (SWT).

Most if Sunni Ulama say that Allah is above materialistic imaginations of people and don't accept the claims of Mujassimah who are today the awahabi sect. Mujassimah are condemned by most of a Sunni scholars.

Sin . Forgiveness . Repentance (Tawbah) . God (Allah)

Do sins require continual repentance, or is repenting once to God enough? Should the person involved be sought for forgiveness? Does a sense of peace after repentance signify divine forgiveness or is it merely psychological relief?

We need to continuously seek forgiveness and never think that our sins have been omitted. In Quran we read blame on the person who claims that his sins have been omitted just because his hardship has gone away. Sura Hud, verse 10.
