Did Allah create four things with His Hand: the 'Arsh (Throne), the Pen, Adam, and the Garden of Eden, then say to the rest of creation, "Be," and it was?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah the Almighty has uniquely distinguished some of His creations by stating that He created them with His "hand," unlike other creations. These include: the creation of Adam, the planting of the Garden of Eden, the writing of the Tablets for Moses, and the Pen. The Sunnis have accepted this, and it is a sign of further honor and distinction for these creations, while acknowledging this and absolving Allah from imperfection and anthropomorphism.
