I really appreciate it when more people believe in one God. Now comes the part where we might disagree. No offense intended at all, and I don’t want to engage in any disrespectful discussion. I just want to share a small part of my view: As a Muslim reading the Quran, I find it impossible to think that Allah could in any way be compared to humans. Allah is free from mistakes. Humans are the creation; we make mistakes all the time. Allah has no needs whatsoever, while we humans depend on food, sleep, family, happiness, and so on. We are completely dependent. Allah was not created; we are the creation. Allah is the Master, and we humans, all of His creation, can only come before Him as slaves. But Allah is a loving and caring Master, not to be confused with a human master. When you count and reflect on the attributes of Allah, and then compare them with the attributes of humans, it becomes very clear that Allah cannot be compared to anyone or anything. His example is that there is no example for Him. So first, comparing God with humans, to me, shows a lack of understanding of who Allah is. Second, the Quran makes it extremely simple and comforting for me. I don’t have to struggle to understand how one God can be three persons or entities. It’s very straightforward: one Allah — that’s it, done. Nothing can be compared to Him. He knows everything, and He alone decides what will happen on the final day. I also want to emphasize that the Quran comes to defend the Torah and the Gospel. So, I naturally have respect for people who believe in the Torah and the Gospel. With all due respect, I simply wanted to share the thoughts above.
