God’s Names and his attributes and their appearances in the semantic, ontological and anthropological dimensions are one of the most important issues in Islamic mysticism. In the Quran and Islamic tradition, the names and attributes of God are used as an immanent and transcendent way of recognizing the transcendence of time, and researchers have tried to understand and explain the relationship between the divine nature, and his names and traits. In this way, the Quran’s verse of ‘There is nothing like God’ considers Mohammad as one of His holy names which nothing can be found like him. The word ‘like’ have been considered in the verse, presumes that the Holy Prophet, peace upon him, is like Him and nothing can be like him as well.
