There is nothing like unto Himلَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
He asks about likening Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to His creation or comparing Him in that regard?

Answer:
It is not permissible to liken Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to His creation, because none of His creation resembles Him (Glorified and Exalted is He),
There is nothing like unto Himلَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
