The Truth About Islam

It is recommended to fast six days of the month of Shawwâl, so after RamaDân ends and after the holiday (^Idou l-fitr) it is recommended to fast six days of that month. It is better to fast them consecutively and immediately after the holiday. However, if one just fasts any six days of the month in a way different than what was mentioned, he gets the reward of the recommendation although it is a lesser reward. It is confirmed from the Prophet that he said (Muslim):

((من صام رمضانَ وأتبَعَه سِتًا من شوّال كان كصيام الدهر))

This hadith means, “the one who fasts RamaDân and fasts six days of Shawwâl is similar to the one who fasts all the time.” That is, he gets a very big reward.

Had Allaah been a small body, God would have had many similars, and had Allaah been a huge body, God would have had many similars. Had Allaah been a light body, Allaah would resemble other bodies like light, air, darkness, angels. Had Allah been a a palpable body, Allaah would resemble other palpable bodies, like the humans, trees, etc.

Allaah is clear of all of that.

Had it been mentally possible for Allaah to be a body then it would have been permissible to attribute godhood to other bodies like the sun. But it is not permissible to attribute godhood to the sun (for example), why? Because it is a body, it has limits and a shape, thus it is not permissible to attribute godhood to anybody of the creations.

So Allaah is not a body, Allaah does not have a body.
