Do a fact check of all references in this image

Assistant: Here’s a fact-check of each reference in the image you shared, based on reliable sources and texts:

Here’s a fact-check of each reference in the image you shared, based on reliable sources and texts:

✅ 1. “Muslim God has Two Hands (Quran 5:64)”

Claim: Quran 5:64 teaches Allah has two literal hands.

Fact: Quran 5:64 does contain language about “His hands being outstretched/widely open.” However, classical Islamic scholars explain this language metaphorically or in terms of divine attributes, not as physical body parts like created beings. The verse responds to a claim the Jews made about “the hand of Allah being tied up,” meaning stinginess. It says: “Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched; He expends as He wills.” The word yad (hand) here indicates power and generosity, not literally human hands. Quranopedia

So the verse does reference “His hands” linguistically, but mainstream tafsir does not interpret this as literal physical limbs.

✅ 2. “Both hands are right hand (Hadith Muslim no. 1827)”

Claim: A hadith in Sahih Muslim says both of Allah’s hands are right hands.

Fact: There are narrations in Islamic literature that discuss Allah’s attributes like His “Right Hand.” Some narrations (referenced by some scholars) describe Allah’s Right Hand being full and both hands being “right” symbolically, meaning honor/blessing. However, such narrations are debated and often not taken literally as physical body parts, and some scholars question their authenticity or meaning. Prima Quran

So the reference is to theological discussions, not to literal anatomy.

✅ 3. “Has one shin only (Quran 68:42)”

Claim: Quran 68:42 says Allah has one shin.

Fact: Quran 68:42 reads in English translation: “The Day the shin will be uncovered and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration…” The Arabic phrase literally mentions a “shin” (sāq). However, scholars differ in interpretation:

• Some take it metaphorically, meaning a severe or awe-inspiring event (as “exposure of the shin” was idiomatically linked with hardship).
• Others (from traditional tafsir) say it could refer to an attribute of Allah in a way befitting Him, without resembling human anatomy. Quran.com

So the verse exists, but it doesn’t straightforwardly establish Allah having a shin like creatures.

❓ 4. “Has two feet (al-Lajnah ad-Da’imah)”

Claim: Islamic committee (al-Lajnah ad-Da’imah) teaches Allah has two feet.

Fact: There are traditional texts (e.g., from al-Lajnah ad-Da’imah and classical scholars) that affirm some divine attributes mentioned in Qur’an and hadith such as “feet” in a theological sense, without likening Allah to creation. They advocate affirming texts as stated while affirming “there is nothing like unto Him.” That’s a theological school position, not a universally agreed modern literal meaning. Islam Guide

So, yes, there are classical positions that affirm “feet” as an attribute, but with strong disclaimers that it’s not like human feet.

❓ 5. “Has eye (Quran 52:48 j)”

Claim: Quran 52:48 teaches Allah has an eye.

Fact: Quran 52:48 says “for indeed you are under Our watchful eyes.” This does use the Arabic word for eyes (a‘yun). Islamic scholars interpret this as:

• Allah watching and seeing (His attribute of knowledge and perception).
• Not that He has physical eyes like creatures. Quran.com

So the verse exists, but the meaning is not usually taken literally as physical organs.

📌 6. “There is nothing like unto Him” (Quran 42:11)

Fact: This verse is authentic and doctrinally very important:

“There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him…”

It emphasizes Allah’s uniqueness and transcendence — that His attributes are not comparable to created things.

Wikipedia

So if someone takes Qur’anic and hadith language literally like human anatomy, this statement contradicts that interpretation.

SUMMARY — FACT CHECK

| Claim in Image | True as Literal Physical Fact? | Contextual Reality | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Allah has “two hands” (Quran 5:64) | ❌ No | Verse uses metaphorical language about divine power and generosity. Quranopedia | | Both hands are right hands (Hadith) | ⚠️ Debated/not literal | Some narrations exist but scholars debate their meaning/authority. Prima Quran | | Allah has Shin (Quran 68:42) | ❌ No | Verse exists but scholars interpret metaphorically or theologically, not physical. Quran.com | | Allah has two feet (al-Lajnah) | ⚠️ Theological position | Some classical texts affirm attributes but stress they are not like human feet. Islam Guide | | Allah has “eye” (Quran 52:48) | ❌ No | Verse uses language of “eyes” in sense of His watching — not literal, physically like creatures. Quran.com |

Key Point

Islamic theology emphasizes Allah’s attributes without likening Him to creation (“Laysa kamithlihi shay’un — There is nothing like unto Him,” Quran 42:11). Many of the texts referenced use anthropomorphic language figuratively or in ways that affirm divine attributes without implying physical form. Wikipedia
