IN ISLAM, WHY IS GOD INVISIBLE?

God in Islam is called ALLAH, the answer to why Allah is invisible is when we are praying so at the beginning of our prayer we say Allahu Akbar, which means ALLAH IS GREAT, in Arabic “something greater than others” There is nothing greater than this “Allahu Akbar” Allah is great indeed very big

The magnitude of GOD exceeds the magnitude of the entire universe.

God is light above light again, how do we understand that? Let's reflect on the hadith of the prophet Muhammad said the prophet “the parable of the earth you live in compared to the sky above your head is only like a ring thrown in the desert, so the magnitude of the first heaven is like a ring thrown in the desert.

In the sky (above our heads) Allah created seven layers of sky in Surah al-Mulk verse 3

الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا‌ ؕ مَا تَرٰى فِىۡ خَلۡقِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ مِنۡ تَفٰوُتٍ‌ ؕ فَارۡجِعِ الۡبَصَرَۙ هَلۡ تَرٰى مِنۡ فُطُوۡرٍ

“Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not see anything unequal in the creation of the Most Merciful Lord. So look once more, do you see any defect?”

Surat al-mulk ayat 3

From the above verse it is concluded that Allah created seven layers of heaven, and our earth is in the first heaven (1) that we live in, above us there are still six more layers of heaven

In the 18th century scientists conducted research in the universe and they found that there were a large number of stars, but what they highlighted was the most influential on our earth, the Sun.The sun gives bright light to the earth and scientists say that the sun is bigger than the earth.

In the 19th century, scientists discovered that there are billions of other suns in the universe with planets millions of miles away from the earth, so according to the hadith of the prophet, all the stars we see with our eyes and the sun are all under the first heaven.

n natural science there is a planetary name we know by the name of “Pluto” explained Planet Pluto has a distance of 274 years the speed of light from our earth, and it is impossible that we will get to planet Pluto because the distance is very far, dead on the way and planet Pluto is still far below the first sky (1).

For the second layer of heaven (2), the prophet's hadith explains the magnitude of the second heaven (2) is at the merging of the earth and the first heaven like a ring thrown in the desert.”

For the third heaven (3), the size is “earth + first heaven (1) and second heaven (2) combined together like a ring thrown in the desert”.

For the fourth heaven(4), the magnitude is “earth + first heaven(1) + second heaven(2) and + third heaven(3) combined are like a ring thrown in the desert.”

For the fifth heaven(5), its size is “earth + first heaven(1) + second heaven(2) + third heaven(3) and fourth heaven(4) combined are like a ring thrown in the desert”

For the sixth heaven(6), the magnitude is “earth + first heaven(1) + second heaven(2) + third heaven(3) + fourth heaven(4) and fifth heaven(5) combined are like a ring thrown in the desert''

For the seventh heaven (7), its size is “the earth + the first heaven (1) + the second heaven (2) + the third heaven (3) + the fourth heaven (4) + the fifth heaven (5) and the sixth heaven (6) combined are like a ring thrown in the desert.”

In the seventh heaven (7) there is a place called “Baitul makmur” or Bait baitul Makmur, this is the place where the angels worship, just as humans worship around the Ka'bah.

When Prophet Muhammad performed the Isra Mi'raj event, he said

فَأَتَيْنَا السَّمَاءَ السَّابِعَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِكَ مِنِ ابْنٍ وَنَبِىٍّ، فَرُفِعَ لِي الْبَيْتُ الْمَعْمُورُ فَسَأَلْتُ جِبْرِيلَ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا الْبَيْتُ الْمَعْمُورُ ، يُصَلِّي فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ ، إِذَا خَرَجُوا لَمْ يَعُودُوا إِلَيْهِ آخِرَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ

“we went to the seventh heaven. Then I went to Prophet Ibrahim, I greeted him and he greeted me “Welcome my son the Prophet.” Then I saw the Baitul Makmur. I asked Jibril.This is the Baitul Makmur, every day, this place is visited by 70,000 angels to pray there. After they leave, they will not return to this place.” (HR. Bukhari 3207 & Muslim 162).

When prophet muhammad carried out israt mi'rat and passed through all the heavens whose breadth was infinite, all of them were filled with Allah's creatures called “ANGELS”.

In the hadith of Bukhari “when I was going to the sky to receive the command to pray, I penetrated the seven layers of Heaven and by the One in whose grasp my head is there is no place in the sky the size of four human fingers unless there are angels who are prostrating” so this angel is very large in number imagine every sky filled with angels who are prostrating to Allah.

Then above the seventh heaven (7) there is a name “Sidratul Muntaha” and this Sidratul Muntaha is large said the prophet Muhammad “earth + first heaven (1) + second heaven (2) + third heaven (3) + fourth heaven (4) + fifth heaven (5) + sixth heaven (6) and seventh heaven (7) combined everything is like a ring thrown in the desert

Above Sidratul Muntaha there is a “OCEAN” and the Prophet Muhammad SAW said the lion of Allah is above the water.

The vastness of the ocean is “the earth + the first heaven (1) + the second heaven (2) + the third heaven (3) + the fourth heaven (4) + the fifth heaven (5) + the sixth heaven (6) + the seventh heaven (7) and plus Sidratul Muntaha combined they are like rings thrown in the desert”

then above the ocean there is the name “ARSH” This Arsh is interpreted as the footrest of Allah

The magnitude of this Arsh is “the earth + the first heaven (1) + the second heaven (2) + the third heaven (3) + the fourth heaven (4) + the fifth heaven (5) + the sixth heaven (6) + the seventh heaven (7) + Sidratul Muntaha and + ocean combined are like a ring thrown in the desert.”

God's footsteps alone cover the heavens and the earth, so why is God invisible? BECAUSE GOD IS TOO BIG TO SEE.
