Does "the highest description" in the verse: (And to Him belongs the highest description in the heavens and earth) mean a likeness?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The meaning of "the highest ideal" is the ultimate description in all aspects. Allah Almighty is described with absolute perfection, as He said: (There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer) and (Say: He is Allah, [the] One. Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him).
