Question:
His saying, the Exalted: [Ar-Rum: 27]. Does *al-mathal* mean a likeness?
Answer:
It means that *al-mathal* is the highest description in every respect; so He, the Exalted, is described with absolute perfection in every respect, as He, the Exalted, said: [Ash-Shura: 11], and He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Ikhlas 112:1] Allah, the Self-Sufficient. He has not beget nor been begotten, and there is none comparable to Him. [Al-Ikhlas: 1-4]. And success is from Allah.
His saying, the Exalted:
To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُSay, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
