The ruling on reflecting upon Allah?

Question : May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, in response to the question, many people believe that khushu' (humility) is reflecting upon the essence of Allah, which leads to waswas (whispers of doubt). What is your comment on that?

Answer : Khushu' is the humility of the heart before Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. However, do not reflect upon the essence of Allah, His essence. Reflect upon His names and attributes, His greatness, His majesty, His exaltation, His power, and His dominance. As for the essence, if you think about the exalted essence, you will fall into one of two things: either negation or likening Allah to creation.
Both are dangerous for a person. Worship a great Lord whom imagination cannot encompass and whom a human being cannot visualize. Whatever you visualize in this regard, Allah the Exalted is greater than what you visualize, because Allah the Exalted says: So, my brother, you should reflect upon the names of Allah and His attributes and His greatness, and you should never try to grasp the modality of His essence, because that is among the impossible things.
