Is THEM Guilty of Shirk? - Dr. Wesley Muhammad

Equally curious is the way that Dr. Wesley has tried to circumvent Allah's proof in the Qur'an that He
(Allah) is not a human being. In Sura 4:1 Allah says "O men! Reverence Allah who created you and your
mate from a single soul and from them scattered like seeds countless men and women."
Then Allah says in Suratul Ikh'las that He (Allah) has no father and He is not a father of any child. Thus,
in these two verses Allah makes it plain that He created men and women, and that He is not a man (father
or child). After understanding this verse and knowing that Master Fard had a father, Alfonso, how could
you still teach that Allah is Master Fard, a human being?
But, what about Dr. Wesley's argument that Allah is a self-created human being and that Allah as a man
is different from man as a man? Dr. Wesley offers proof of such a being by pointing to a picture of a man
from ancient Egypt who is referred to as a G-d who created himself, thus indicating that he needed no
father.
Dr. Wesley's proof that this self-created G-d had no children is a picture in someone's book which refers to
a pre-Arabian black G-d named Allah who had sexual problems and therefore, did not have children. So
these are the proofs for his claim that there is nothing in Suratul Ikh'las that negates the assertion that
Allah is a man.
But, while Dr. Wesley seeks to prove his argument using the ancient Mystery system or other doctrines,
Allah tells Muslims to judge all things by the criteria of the Qur'an. What Muslim would leave the proofs
of the Qur'an and pick up another doctrine in an attempt to refute or avoid what the Qur'an clearly says?
Sura 2:16 says they trade guidance for error, but they realize it not.
Think about it, what does it really mean to self-create yourself? First of all, if G-d is a man, a human
being, where did he exist when he created himself? I mean, he would have to create himself, before he
could create the universe and the earth with water and air so he could breathe. Did he float around in the
abyss? I guess you could say that when he created himself, he created everything else at the same time. In
this way, when he manifested, so did the earth, air, and water, so he had air to breathe and water to drink
too.
To say "he" created "himself' implies that "he" existed before creating "himself." The act of creation is an
action and an action must have an actor or doer. Action cannot exist in a vacuum. Therefore, if "he"
created, "himself" as a man, "he" already existed in order to create "himself." So, there is always
something prior to that which is created.
ARGUMENT 4
Fourthly, Dr. Wesley argues his case against the prevailing interpretation of Sura 42:11, which states that
There is not like Him (Allah) any thing. He points us to the Arabic phrase, laysa ka-mithlihi shayun and
asserts that the translators have also mistranslated this verse.
He argues that the comparative particle ka, which means 'like' and the noun 'mithli', which means
likeness, parable, metaphor, allegory, indicates that Allah does have an likeness and therefore an image.
He says the translation should be, There is not like, his likeness, a thing. To Dr. Wesley this means that if
you say there is nothing like His likeness, then He must have a likeness and this likeness is what He looks
like; His image. Thus, if He has an image and it is said that He has a hand, foot, face, and eyes, and that
G-d created man in His own image, He must be a man.
