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?
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.
