In Islam , the comparison of God to created things.
The practice of attributing human characteristics to the deity is regarded as a sin in Islamic theology, as is its opposite, ta 02BD; t 012B; l (divesting God of all attributes). The difficulty of dealing with the nature of God in Islam arises from seemingly contradictory views in the Qur 02BE; 0101; n, which describes God as unique, yet also refers to him as having eyes, ears, hands, and face. Tashb 012B; h is forbidden out of the fear that its practice will lead to paganism and idolatry; ta 02BD; t 012B; l is feared to lead to atheism.
