There  is  nothing  whatever  like  unto  Him,  and  He  hears  and  sees  [all things],(42:11)

He has no form, like, or peer, and there is nothing resembling Him or similar to Him. However,   according  to  the  meaning  of  the  following  verse  and  its  parabolic comparison,

And His is the highest similitude in the heavens and the earth, and He is

Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom,(30:27)

His actions, attributes, and names may be considered. That is to say, allegory and comparison may be used in connection with His actions. One of the many things intended by the above-mentioned Hadith is: “Man is in a form that displays the divine name of All-Merciful in its entirety.” Yes, as we explained before, the divine name of All-Merciful is manifested through the rays of a thousand and one names on the face of the universe, and is  apparent through the innumerable manifestations of God’s absolute dominicality on the face of the earth. Similarly, its complete manifestation is apparent in a small measure in man’s comprehensive form, the same as on the faces of the earth and universe.

The Hadith  suggests also  that  the evidences of the Necessarily Existent  One offered by such proofs, mirrors, and manifestations of the Most Merciful as animate creatures and  man are so certain, clear, and obvious that just as it may be said of a shining mirror which reflects the image of the sun: “That mirror is the sun,” indicating the clarity of its brilliance and evidence, so it has been said and may be said: “Man is in the  form of the  All-Merciful One,”  indicating the  clarity of his  evidence  and completeness of  his  relation.  It  is  in  consequence  of this  mystery that  the  more moderate of those who believed in the Unity of Existence said: “There is no existent but He,” as a way of expressing the clarity of this  evidence and perfection of the relation.

O God! O Most Merciful One! Most Compassionate One! For the sake of “In

the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate” have mercy on us as befits Your Compassionateness, and allow us to understand the mysteries of “In  the  Name  of  God,  the  Merciful,  the  Compassionate”  as  befits  Your Mercifulness.  AMEN.
