In this video, Imam Ali talks about God in a really beautiful way. The video is using words from his ‘Nahjul Balagha’ to explain how amazing and powerful Allah is. The video tries its best to translate the Imam’s artistic and eloquent words into English, but it’s hard to capture all the beauty and wisdom he expresses about God. Imam Ali, may peace be upon him, shares his deep insights about Allah, who is above everything and everyone. It’s a special way of understanding and appreciating the greatness of God.
Za’alab Yamani asked Imam Ali (AS): O’ Amir-al-Momeneen (the Commander of the faithful), have you seen your God? Imam Ali (AS) replied: Do I worship a being whom I do not see? Za’alab asked: How do you see God? Imam Ali (AS) replied: Eyes can never see God, but hearts with proper belief can recognize God. Allah (SWT) is close to everything, but not attached to things; is away from everything, but is no stranger to them; is a speaker, not through thinking or thought; is determined, not by desire or wish; is creator/maker, not by hands or legs; is kind and friendly, and that is not secret or hidden; is great not by oppression; can see but not with external senses; is kind, but not touchy; the heads and faces fall down (prostrate) due to God’s greatness; and the hearts are restless due to fearing God -Nahjul Balaghah, Sermon 179.
