SomaliLight,
LOL @ Dar us Salaam Publications..........
First of all the Quran says (sura shuura, aya 11):
"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. "
All attributes of God are described to us in a language we can understand, so our understanding of hands, feet, kursi, carsh are all restricted to our mode of understanding.
Mathematically, when you restrict yourselves to a certain amount of dimensions, you lose some ability to convey information..........For example, we live in a 3-dimensional world (x,y,z), how could you convey depth-perception (z-coordinate) to something with no ability to percieve depth, only understands (x,y)
Current research in physics/mathematics has established that there are at least 11 dimensions, most of which we have completely no intellectual intuition about.......these realms are not known to us.........so the physical world is not all that there is to know........we can't know everything through instrumentation & measurement devices........there's only so much current, voltage, pressure etc. can tell us.
The above-mentioned ayah in Arabic is actually more interesting and has far more implication.......
The Arabic is: "Laysa ka mithlihii shay'an wa huwa asameecul baseer"
In Arabic, the 'ka' functions as a comparator, similar to 'like'........
But so is 'mithlihi' in that ayah.........so why are those two combined when one would be enough to serve as a comparator ???
It is implying that there is NOTHING LIKE, ANYTHING LIKE ALLAH.........
You are like any other girl in terms of your attributes, I could compare another girl to you simply by describing everything about you but changing the attributes...........you are like that girl, but she is shorter, you are darker, she has bigger eyes, you have smaller lips etc.
This can't be done with Allah...........If you were capable of describing Allah, there would be nothing in the Heavens and Earth that you could use to describe Allah to someone.
