Is Allah corporeal or formless? What Does Allah looks like?

Allah is the divine concept of Islam, Before answering the question of what does Allah looks like, we should look at the various questions of the divine concept.

First question, is Allah corporeal or formless?

Answer, Islamic scholars say that Allah is corporeal but no one knows what He looks like, and if we look from the Qur'an also, Islam says that Allah sits on a throne at the seventh sky, and if He sits on a throne, it means its have a form, that is, it is corporeal, and if it is corporeal, it means that it is not infinite, because the infinite can only be that which is formless.

I am surprised that, a Muslim ma told me that Allah is formless, and then he asked me that he will go to Paradise and see him, this is a contradiction, because if he sees it, then How did allah become formless?

Second question, if he is corporeal then what does he looks like?

Islam believes that, on the day they will go to Paradise, then they will be able to see him, and Mohammed Sahab had also told to his companions that on the day of doom, Allah will reveal himself to you. but, still according to The Quran and Hadith he looks something like this
