Does Allah resemble humans?

Delete this pls because it depicts the hand of humans as the hand of Allah and that's kufr because Allaah subhaanahu wa taala says (Nothing resembles Him)

This is called anthromorphism of ahlul kalam ok

Astaghfirullah

We Muslims we don't liken Allah’s attribute to that of human beings

We confirm the Hand(s) of Allah, and we deny any interpretation of this Attribute as being metaphorical.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala says

There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer” [ash-Shoora 42:11]

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

to affirm this attribute, not to liken it to human attributes. Similarly, when he recited the words

“Truly, Allah is Ever All‑Hearer, All‑Seer” [al-Nisa’ 5:58]

and put his hands on his eyes and ears, this was an affirmation of the divine attributes of hearing and seeing in a real and not metaphorical sense.

End quote from Mukhtasar as-Sawaa‘iq al-Mursalah (p. 391)

“Allah, may He be glorified and elated, will take His heavens and His earths in His hands and will say: I am Allah – clenching and unclenching his fist – I am the Sovereign,” and I looked at the minbar and saw it shaking at the bottom, and I thought that it would fall with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him

Muslim (2788) narrated

And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!” [az-Zumar 39:67]. And the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was gesturing like this with his hand, moving it back and forth. “The Lord will praise Himself, (saying): ‘I am the Compeller, I am the Almighty, I am the Sovereign, I am the Supreme, I am the Most Generous.’” And the minbar shook with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) until we thought it would fall with him. Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) in as-Silsilah as-Saheehah (7/596

Imam Ahmed 5414

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked:

Is it permissible to gesture with the hand when explaining hadiths that speak of the attributes of Allah, such as the hadith, “Hearts are between two of the fingers of the Most Merciful”?

He replied: No. What is not narrated in the hadith is not to be said. The divine attributes are a matter of tawqeef [i.e., they can only be known through divine Revelation and sound texts of hadeeth, with no room for ijtihad] and it is not permissible to introduce anything from one’s own mind and say “This is to explain it.” Rather they should be narrated as they are. As for the hadith in which the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) referred to Allah being All-Hearing, All-Seeing, and he pointed to his ears and eyes, this is something that is unique to this hadith, so it is to be quoted as it was narrated. As for adding something from your own mind, that should not be done. End quote

Response to this description that some claim on Allah that both His Hands are right!!!

LET US TEACH YOU A FREE ISLAMIC LESSON

Free Aqeeda lesson to Jahils by Ridouan Soumaa

Hadeeth doesn't say both hands on the right side

Hadeeth says both Hands are right for us not to think of any directions because that does not befit the Majestic being of Allah the Almighty

We can never encompass His Majestic being

Yes Allah Has too both right and left hands but

Either side of the Being is the right side both being equally mrneritorious. (The Dispensers of justice are)

Sahih Muslim 34 : 4825

Sheikh Ibn Uthaimin says Allah had both right and left hands but the Hadeeth says both his Hands are right just to refer to blessings and virtue of His both Hands because Allah does just the good not like us humans

We are told in Sunnah that the right hand is better to eat with

We are always told that the right is the right and left symbolizes evil and devil.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a man of the Ansar who was admonishing his brother regarding shyness. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of Iman."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

So that's why prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said both His Hands are blessing (right)

والشيخ محمد بن صالح العثيمين ـ رحمه الله ـ علم من أعلام أهل السنة، ويحسن بنا في هذا المقام أن ننقل كلامه، قال فضيلته: والجمع بين الحديثين واضح، أن الله تعالى له يمين وشمال، لكن كلتا اليدين يمين أي: يُمن وخير وبركة، فلا يتوهم واهم أنه إذا كانت له يد شمال أن يده الشمال قاصرة كما هي في المخلوقين، فالخلق أشرفهم البشر، والشخص يده الشمال قاصرة عن يده اليمين، ولهذا نهي الإنسان أن يأكل بشماله، أو يشرب بشماله، أو يأخذ بشماله، أو يعطي بشماله، فلما كان البشر هذه صفة اليد الشمال عندهم، رُفع هذا الوهم بقول الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم: كلتا يديه يمين. لقاء الباب المفتوح.

Names and Attributes of Allah

The scholars of ‘‘Ahlu Sunnah wal Jamaa`ah’’ (Sunna and consensus) say that the correct faith in Allah's attributes means

a. believing in them without denying them or their meanings (ta`teel),

b. Without interpreting them and changing their meanings (tahreef)

c. Without explaining how they are (takyeef)

and

d. Without likening Allaah's attributes to those of the creation (tamtheel).

The consensus of the predecessors and leaders of this Ummah (nation) follow this creed of course even though many sects deviated in understanding the names and attributes of Allah

Thus, the scholar Imam Malik answered a man when he asked him about how does God rises over his Thrown !!??

He said :’Istiwa (Elevation) is not unknown, and its how [manner] is not conceivable.

To ask the question about this topic is an innovation, and to believe in it is an obligation; and I believe you are among the [bad] innovators”.

Therefore we believe that Allah or God has 99 beautiful names and more and has Almighty and High attributes that are above measure, beyond our imagination, unconceivable and uncomparables with His creations’ .

God also Pleases Displeases has Sight but not the Known eyes to us has Hearing but not necessarily ears ..etc

He Has All good Names and Attributes only some we know

We believe in Allah without images known to us (exactly as in Bible )

No images known to us but known only by Him

But then Bible is spoilt by Paul it has both falsehood and liiiiiitle truth

We know from prophetic sayings that are preserved like the Qur’an that God has Eyes Face Leg Foot.

However whatever comes to your mind he’s unlike it as he said in the Qur’an ;

((Nothing is like Him but he’s all Seeing all Hearing))
