Thinking of Allah Ta'ala in a specific form or shape
Question
Whenever I think of Allah, a shape like a human being comes into my mind. I try my best to remove it from my head. But it comes at once and I have no control over it. I do not believe that Allah has a form or shape. But because of this thoughts from shaitan, the image comes to my mind. But I try to reject it. Will i be sinful?
Answer
Don't pay attention to this thought, and go on remembering Allah and begging His protection.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
