وَلَا شَيْءَ مِثْلُهُ
Nothing is comparable to Allah Most High.
Treating Allah's essence or attributes as equivalent to created things is tashbīh (likening). An illustration offered to clarify a meaning does not necessarily establish real similarity. A Qurʾanic illustration may help explain an idea without equating the Creator with creation in essence or attributes.
Two errors must be avoided: imagining Allah as resembling something created and negating the attributes that have been affirmed. This keeps affirmation together with transcendence.
