Allah has an IMAGE

Allah has an IMAGE:

Prophet Muhammad said: "My Lord came to me in the most beautiful image"

Al-Tirmidhi (3234) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “My Lord came to me in the most beautiful image and said, ‘O Muhammad.’ I said, ‘Here I am at Your service, my Lord.’ He said, ‘What are the chiefs (angels) on high disputing about…’” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Prophet Muhammad said to his asabas [associates]: "We take our colour from Allah."

This means that the colour of the Arabs analogously resembled Allah's colour. From the representation of Allah's complexion by the Arabs, we can safely conclude that Allah is of a beautiful dark complexion.

Of course, this colour of God is not material but spiritual. When Prophet Muhammad met Allah (Vishnu or Krishna), he saw dazzling effulgence emanating from God. Therefore, Allah has a dazzling dark colour-contradictory to mundane senses but transcendentally beautiful.

According to recognized Vedic scriptures, Allah or Krishna has a spiritual, dazzling, dark colour, beyond the perception of the material senses and the imagination of the mundane mind.

Sibgatallah wa man 'ah - sanu minallahi sibgah: "Allah possesses beautiful dark color", "We take our Color from Allah. Who is better than Allah at coloring?"

Actually Allah being the source of everything it is no wonder that some color of this material world should resemble His, although His color is not material.

From the above verse if Arabs analogously resembles the color of God then we can safely conclude that color of God is a beautiful dark complexion. But God has been described as full of dazzling effulgence and no dark color in this world is dazzling. This seems contradictory. Actually there is no contradiction if we realize that this dark color of Allah is spiritual but not material. Being a spiritual color it is transcendental to perception and mind and can afford to throw out flashing effulgence. Similarly Krishna is famous as Syamsundara or one whose complexion is darkish but at the same time is full of most dazzling splendor. See this verse from Brahma Samhita:

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth, substantiality and is thus full of the most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses in Himself, the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane." (Brahma Samhita 5.32)
