Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Beware of pondering about Allah, for verily pondering about Allah only increases ones bewilderment. Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, cannot be perceived by the sights or described by any type of criteria.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إيّاكُم والتَّفَكُّرَ في اللّهِ؛ فإنَّ التَّفَكُّرَ في اللّهِ لا يَزيدُ إلّا تِيهاً ، إنَّ اللّهَ عَزَّوجلَّ لا تُدرِكُهُ الأبصارُ ولا يُوصَفُ بِمِقدارٍ.
