A major reason why discussions on God yield less than satisfactory results is that the more fundamental task of agreeing on what God is has usually been skipped. Here, then, are some of the things the Quran indicates God is not, although all Muslims may not necessarily agree with, or even be aware of, some of what follows:For starters, God does not ‘exist’. But while we know these attributes of God, the ‘person’ of God is unknowable. Despite being outside time and space, God interferes in the natural order of things if man is interested in a special relationship. Far from physically equating God to light, it says that if God is not in your world-view (albeit outside the scheme of things) you are bound to be in darkness; that is, your-world view cannot be complete, or self-consistent.
