are we vessels to be filled with Allah, thus act more in accordance with Him/It?

[357]

How do you see Him Then?

[Israfeel]

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

إِنَّ  لِلَّهِ آنِيَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ، وَآنِيَةُ رَبِّكُمْ قُلُوبُ عِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ , وَأَحَبُّهَا إِلَيْهِ أَلْيَنُهَا وَأَرَقُّهَا

"The Vessels of your Lord are the Hearts of His pious worshipers, and the most beloved to Him are the softest and tender ones"
(reported by Imam Tabarani)

[AbdulAziz Mohammed]

No!

Allah doesn't need a vessel to fill himself in, if you really think of God this way you are actually limiting God, God is infinite, unlimited, beyond any of our imaginations, different from all his creatures. 

You cannot see God because you are a creature, not God, if you were God who is equal to Allah then you would be able to see him. God made it very clear in the Quran:

"Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted."

[JavaLatte]

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

إِنَّ  لِلَّهِ آنِيَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ، وَآنِيَةُ رَبِّكُمْ قُلُوبُ عِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ , وَأَحَبُّهَا إِلَيْهِ أَلْيَنُهَا وَأَرَقُّهَا

"The Vessels of your Lord are the Hearts of His pious worshipers, and the most beloved to Him are the softest and tender ones"
(reported by Imam Tabarani)

What if prophet Muhammad never said that??

[JavaLatte]

I quote these for the people who think that they can see God.

You cannot see God because you are a creature, not God, 

God made it very clear in the Quran:

"Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted."

Salām.

[amin]

If God wills, yes you can see him and understand what he wills.

Loving and caring for others is a property of God, so we are part of his magnificence.

[JavaLatte]

What if God wills that we (fallible humans) cannot see Him?

Sorry, I don't believe that there are people who can see God while they're still live in this world. If they claim to see God, then I don't take that claim as truth, for me that's only their conjecture.

Now I decide to listen to what God teaches me through the Qur'an, instead of following other people's conjectures. Enough is enough.

Salām.

[Man of Faith]

Okay Java Latte,

At least I hope that you are at terms that behavior and deeds is of the essence in our faith. Other than that you can think whatever you like.

Be of one with God

[Ahmad Bilal]

Peace.

This is actually a two-part question... According to the Qur'aan, ALLAH blew His spirit into Adam (man), and then He commanded the angels to prostrate to him (Q. 15:28, 29). If the angels are commanded to prostrate solely to God, and not to anyone or anything else, then wouldn't this imply that ALLAH was somehow IN (e.g. inside) Adam? And, if He wasn't, then was God commanding the angels to practice a form of idol-worship? In other words, was Adam a vessel that ALLAH was using to 'house His spirit'?

The reason I said that this is a two-part question is because of the context. Also according to the Qur'aan, Adam committed an act of rebellion and sinned against himself, even though he had this 'spirit of God' in him. That spirit didn't make him act more like God, because, if it did, he wouldn't have been able to commit a sin (unless we're also implying that God Himself can 'sin').

Could we be vessels for (the spirit of) ALLAH? Perhaps. The Qur'aan, as well as the Bible, imply this in many places. However, this doesn't mean that we instinctively act in accordance with Him, or do things the way He'd do things. Whether we are vessels or not, we still have the ability to choose our paths and impact our eventual outcomes.

Peace,

Ahmad

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

إِنَّ  لِلَّهِ آنِيَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ، وَآنِيَةُ رَبِّكُمْ قُلُوبُ عِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ , وَأَحَبُّهَا إِلَيْهِ أَلْيَنُهَا وَأَرَقُّهَا

Indeed, Allah has Vessels from among the people of the Earth, and the Vessels of your Lord are the HEARTS of His pious worshipers, and the most beloved ones to Him are the softest and tender ones (Musnad Shamain of Imam Tabarani)

So to answer your question, not all of us are vessels of Allah, but only the hearts of His pious worshipers (the People of Sunnah), and the softer the heart, the better the vessel it is.
