There is no similarity whatsoever between the Creator and His creation in essence, in attributes or in deed.

[1412] See footnotes to 17:1.

The Originator of the skies and the earth, the One Who created them [without precedent]. He has made for you, from your own selves, pairs, when He created Eve from Adam's rib, and [also] pairs, males and females, of the cattle: He multiplies you (read yadhra'ukum) by such [means], by the mentioned 'making', that is to say, He multiplies you through this [means] by way of propagation (the [suffixed] pronoun [-kum in yadhra'ukum, 'He multiplies you'] refers to both human beings and cattle, but predominantly [to humans]). There is nothing like Him (ka-mithlihi: the kaaf is extra, as there is no likeness of Him, exalted be He). He is the Hearer, of what is said, the Seer, of what is done.
