How can we define God? do He have certain attributes? What are His absolute ones? and can the limited man understand God the unlimited?

How can we define Him?

(He is the being from Himself, the must to exist, the simple Spirit, the infinity, The unlimited in time and in place, the Almighty in doing everything, the unchangeable, the procurer of the Lives of every man, animal and plant and all the creatures He has created to Achieve the objective He has created for. The Holy, the perfect, the independent and the inclusive in Himself all the Perfect Unlimited Godly divines.)

1- Attributes of God ( intro)

We do not mean by knowledge of God the complete knowledge Because He has no limit and the mind of man is limited, so, how can the limited understand the unlimited?
So, God the one whom We believe in, and His existence fills the earth, the Heavens and the Universes has lots of attributes, which, we cannot count or confine because of the perfect and unlimited attributes that He has alone.
It’s commonly said about Saint Augustine (Fourth century) while he was thinking in the mystery of Him. That he dreamt that a child is trying to transfer the water of the sea into a small hole by his hand, so, he wandered So much.
So, we would divide these attributes into absolute attributes that exist in Him alone, and relative ones that we as humans might have but in much lesser degree than Him.
