The question

What is the best book for non-specialists that discusses the attributes of Allah Almighty, and why can't a created being comprehend Allah Almighty through knowledge, as stated in the noble verse: "And they do not encompass Him in knowledge"? Is that absolutely impossible, and can a servant comprehend the essence of Allah in Paradise?
