"Tajseem" is Void and Prohibited to Follow I`m confused because some people argue that Tajseem {Anthropomorphism} is valid and that it is obligatory to affirm that Allah has body parts through the apparent meanings of many verses and Hadiths.

My question is: Does having an inner conviction in the existence of God, without having actual evidence, suffice as proof that a Muslim believes in God, and will be admitted to paradise as a result? • Read More
