4.] Muhammad Abdur-Rahman – Response to Dr Wesley Muhammad
As Salaamu Alaikum,
Dr. Wesley Muhammad, It seems to me that you have done a great amount of research and I can really
appreciate your due-diligence. Nevertheless, you are presenting us with these hadiths that has no
relevance of G-d being a man in the Qur‘an. When Allah makes mention of His Hand, Tree, Animals,
Ants etcetera. These are languages that speak in metaphor, and a metaphor is the concept of
understanding one thing in terms of another.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is
conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were
glistening jewels‖. Metaphor is or was also occasionally used to denote rhetorical figures of speech that
achieve their effects.
So, Dr. Wesley Allah‘s ―Hand" is the hand that controls, and handles everything‖! Let‘s take a look at this
verse in the Qur‘an whereas Moses is asking to ―see G-d."
Surah 7 Ayat 143:
When Moses came to the place appointed by us, and his lord addressed him, he said: "o my
lord! Show (thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "by no means canst thou see
me (direct); but look upon the mount; if it abides in its place, then shalt thou see Me." when his
lord manifested his glory on the mount, he made it as dust. and Moses fell down in a swoon.
When he recovered his senses he said: "glory be to thee! To thee I turn in repentance, and I am
the first to believe.
The meanings of Ayat 143:
And when Moses came at Allah's appointed time, that is, the time at which Allah had promised to speak
to him, and his Lord spoke with him, without any intermediary, with speech which he heard from all
directions,Moses said, ‗My Lord! Show me, yourself, that I may behold you!‘Allah Said, "You shall not see
Me, but look upon the mount; if it abides in its place, then shalt thou see Me." The mount never did abide
in it's place, so therefore [he] knew at that moment that he was confronted by someone [more] powerful
than himself, and BIGGER than mankind, therefore Moses fell out! that is to say, you do not have the
power to see me. I don‘t know about you? but that is telling me and others that G-d cannot be seen and
He is beyond our comprehension.
When you find yourself associating something or someone with the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth,
then that is definitely Shirk! Let me give you the definition of Shirk, so that it's not just thrown out their
without any knowledge.
Shirk- Associate; Partner; be sharer. Making association or partner with G-d
