KYA Allah Ke Body Parts Hain ya Ye Sirf Metaphor Hai?

OBJECTION EXPLAINED – Jab Quran me “Allah ka haath” ya “wajah” likha ho to kya iska matlab hai ke Allah ke paas body parts hain?

Ye objection da‘wah field me kaafi baar aata hai, especially jab Allah ke baare me “Yad” (haath), “Wajh” (chehra) jaise lafzon ka zikr hota hai. Atheist ya objector ye kehte hain ke agar Allah ka haath hai to phir woh material (maddi) kaise nahi hua? Agar Allah physical nahi hai to uske haath ya chehre ka kya matlab hua? Ye objection confusion create karta hai — literal aur metaphorical understanding ke darmiyan.

SHORT ANSWER – Allah ka “haath” aur “chehra” maddi nahi, balki sifaat hain

Quran me jab Allah ke liye “Yad” ya “Wajh” ka zikr hota hai to iska matlab human body part nahi hota. Ye sifaat hain, jo Allah ki power (madad), ya attention (tawajjuh) ko represent karti hain. Allah kisi bhi makhluq jaisa nahi — “Laysa kamithlihi shay’un” ka qanoon yehi batata hai: us jaisa koi bhi nahi ho sakta.

DETAILED ANSWER – Mufti Yasir ka do-layered jawab, dono schools of thought ko le kar

Mufti Yasir ne is objection ka jawab do theological angles se diya:

1. Literal but not like creation:
Kuch scholars kehte hain ke Quran me jo “Yad” aur “Wajh” hai, ye Allah ki sifaat hain, lekin inka matlab human limbs nahi.

• Jaise hamara haath ek body part hai, lekin Allah ka “haath” uski attribute hai — jo physical nahi hoti.
• Ye Allah ki madad aur qudrat ka izhar hai, lekin maddi shakal me nahi.
• Ye approach Quran aur Hadith ke lafzi meaning ke qareeb hai, lekin tashbeeh (human comparison) se puri tarah alag hai.

2. Metaphorical interpretation:
Dusre scholars kehte hain ke ye lafz metaphorically use hue hain.

• Jaise “Wajh” ka matlab hota hai tawajjuh — attention ya focus.
• “Yad” ka matlab hota hai madad dena, support karna.
  Yani Allah ke ye lafz unki sifaat ya action ko explain karte hain, body parts ko nahi.

Mufti Yasir personally pehle approach ko prefer karte hain — jo Quran ke text se zyada mutabiqat rakhta hai.

OBJECTION FLAWS – Is objection ke 5 major logical flaws

1. Category Mistake:
   Human body aur divine attribute ko same category me rakhna logic ka ghalat use hai. Allah physical entity nahi, to uske “haath” ka matlab bhi wahi nahi jo insaan ka hota hai.
2. Literalism Fallacy:
   Har lafz ka literal meaning lena bina context samjhe confusion paida karta hai. Quran me kai lafz metaphorically bhi use hue hain.
3. Ignoring Divine Uniqueness:
   Quran ka clear principle hai: “Laysa kamithlihi shay’un” — Allah jaisa koi nahi. Agar koi cheez Allah ke liye use hui ho, to uska matlab insan jaisa lena logical error hai.
4. False Equivalence:
   Ye maanna ke “haath” ka matlab har jagah ek hi hoga — jaise insaan ke liye aur Allah ke liye — galat assumption hai.
5. Oversimplification of Language:
   Arabic ek layered language hai, jisme ek lafz ke kai shades hote hain. “Yad” sirf haath nahi, madad, support, authority bhi express karta hai.

FINAL THOUGHTS – Allah ko samajhne ke liye comparison ka rule todna padta hai

Allah ka concept kisi bhi creature jaisa nahi ho sakta. Agar hum uske sifaat ko bhi human-style me sochne lagen, to hum Allah ko limited bana dete hain. Quran ka style hai ke wo baat samjhaane ke liye familiar lafz use karta hai, lekin unka matlab har waqt literal nahi hota. Allah ke baare me bolte waqt sabse pehla rule yaad rakho: “Us jaisa koi bhi nahi.” Agar ye line samajh aayi, to confusion khatam ho jata hai.
