Allah=reality?

Does God=Reality.
We ought to look at the attributes given, does reality fulfil the attributes-qualities.
Is reality always,
Kind, polite, helpful, source of peace- security - safety e.t.c
Truthfully I must say
Allah = Kind plus polite plus truth plus???????all the attributes.
If you can imagine ? which I doubt if anybody can, all these combined into one unit/cup or what ever you will ultimately see/know who/what Allah is ? I believe.
So I believe we can?t grasp the combination of all the attributes and so Allah as well.
Thanks.

if allah is the first and the last, then arn't we part of fate?
in my sunni days, i used to believe that everything is part of fate except death, marriage, food, birth and (i forgot the other one) -[
what is the quran alone understanding?
peace, rifat

Peace,
God is the First and the Last and everything in between, God is the All, wherever you look, He is there...
We have a freewill. Everything you do is by your own choice. But people always point to God, that He knows everything and then say, everything is already decided. I ask you rifat;"Even though God knows everything, does that still take away your feeling of freechoice? Do you have the feeling your freewill is gone?" Everything has already its place in the story, death, marriage and so on.........
Because i don't believe we must take in God's knowledge with this. Even though God knows the outcome of our stories, does that influence our experience or choice making? No, i don't believe so. We are still the ones who are reading the book. We must stop pointing at the writer and saying He locked us up in the story.
If i build a house, and i let you walk in by yourself. Do you complain to me, that i already knew which room you were gonna check? That i determined your choices in looking at the house? No. You knew i determined the rooms, did my knowledge of the look of the rooms, made you avoid looking at the rooms? No. So that something is already 'fixed' still doesn't take away, that you want to check the rooms. You want to see for yourself how it looks. This is the exact same thing with life. God build it, but we are still checking all the rooms one by one. Seeing how they look........
Peace

peace,
guess what, i have found my answers. bravo bravo ...
it is in the quran...
you have to realize the fact WHY we ask questions and... what is the purpose of asking questions... if you do not approach this method then you will never find your answers...
"god knows what you reveal and what you conceal"
"do they not reflect"
peace, rifat
