[quote]Assalamu Alaikum,

Dear Akhalaq,

Thank you for your post regarding my comments.I am sorry, if I had hurt you by my post.I didn't say that you intentionally blaspheme about God, but what I meant was that certain words[even as a data for research] shouldn't be used for God, These words that comes unintentionally or due to incorrect understanding may sometime amount to blasphemy.That is the mistake, I wanted to point out.We are told in the Quran that we shouldn't speak about God without divine knowledge.Allah says:

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are AlFawâhish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allâh for which He has given no authority, and[b] saying things about Allâh of which you have no knowledge.[/b]"[7:33].

According to the above verse,we shouldn't speak about God of which we have no knowledge.We are also told in the Quran that God is not like any creature[42:11].Therefore it is absolutely forbidden to think[even in the form of data] about God with human features.

If you really mean that these words must never be used even in the data as a way of regards to God then I do admit, “ I am wrong”(but still no blasphemous) and apology to God

Yes this is what I mean.I mean that words we use for God should be befitting His majesty.How can we imagine God to be just like a man?.This is completely wrong.Early scholars of Islam have condemned such anthropomorphic imagination of God and regarded it as totally unislamic.Please understand the gravity of the matter.I am not saying that you said intentionally, but it is very unfortunate you cannot admit your mistake.

In the end it is summarized as “I have expressed God in the imagination only but you have taken the powers of God in your own hands, Naubbillah”.

I have not taken the powers of God in my hand, but rather I have said that the words you have used about God, is against the commandment of Quran, in which the liking of our Creator is mentioned.
