Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Shi'ite Encyclopedia (chapter 9) Is the God a Shape-shifter? (does God Have Finger and Leg?) The Twelver Shi'ites believe that God has no shape, no physical hand, no physical leg, no physical body, and no visible appearance. He does not change along with the time, or does not occupy any physical place. Under no circumstances, God changes. There comes no TIME frame upon him. He has created time, and physical places.

This is one of the most important bases of shiat. However, there are quite a few traditions in Sehah (specially Bukhari and Muslim) in which it is assumed that God has such attributes. Since shiat sect knows what is wrong with hadith, shiat was very kind not to declare this sect of sunni as MISGUIDED (or Kafir) so far (because of this subject only, other subjects have their own place). This article is already long due to the references I am giving.

Only a few questions have accompanied with these references, and the discussion will be for future. 1)- Does the God have finger(s)? In the first and the fourth hadith, the prophet smiles AND confirms this (from sunni sources). In the second and the third, the prophet only smiles, which is known as confirmation of the prophet toward a subject.

For your information, all of these traditions are declared as "Israeeleeat" (which are intered by jews in islamic theology) and rejected for one simple reason: They are in logical disagreement with the book of the God.

ILL.60610(USA) (3rd revised, 1977)(4th revised Edition, March 1979) Narrated 'Abdullah: A Jew came to the Prophet and said, "O Muhammad!

Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, and the mountains on a Finger, and the trees on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He will say, 'I am the King.' " On that Allah's Apostle smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then recited:-- 'No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to him....(39.67) 'Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle smiled (at the Jew's statement) expressing his wonder and believe in what was said.

Narrated 'Abdullah: A man from the people of the scripture came to the Prophet and said, "O Abal-Qasim! Allah will hold the Heavens upon a Finger, and the Earth on a Finger and the land on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and will say, 'I am the King!
