Nothing is equal to Allah Ta'ala
Question
Can the concepts of length breadth height etc be applied to Allah?
Answer
Allah Ta`ala is beyond all this. Laa yuhaddu wa laa yutasawwar. When there is nothing equal to Him and like Him then why should you put your mind into things that are beyond your imagination and understanding. Isn't that stupidity and foolishness.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
