Peace be upon you,
When every description of God ultimately leads to magnifying Him and declaring Him transcendent, what role do human language and expression play in knowing the oneness of God, and how can we move beyond their limitations?
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
Language and expression in knowing the oneness of God are bounded by magnifying and declaring Him transcendent—an approach that is itself the essence of pure tawhid. The conviction that the Lord cannot be described leads one to acknowledge, plainly, one’s inability to describe Him.
Language and expression are bound by the same declarations of God’s greatness and transcendence in describing the Exalted Lord—an expression of pure divine unity!
Certainty that the Lord cannot be described adorns and constrains the human spirit of description, leading it to acknowledge His greatness and proclaim His transcendence. Thus, at its heart, all human speech is a pure admission of our inability to describe Him.
