LessonsClaim and Evidence: What Creed Texts Do and Do Not EstablishQuiz

وَلَا شَيْءَ مِثْلُهُ.
Nothing is like Him.

Claim under examination: A student takes “Nothing is like Allah” to mean that hearing and seeing cannot be affirmed of Him.

What the text establishes: Incomparability denies resemblance and creaturely modality, not the attributes of perfection affirmed by revelation. Transcendence and affirmed attributes stand together.

What does not follow: The phrase does not affirm human bodily organs, nor does it license a wholesale rejection of attributes. Both additions exceed its meaning.

Application: Identify the statement that affirms an attribute without assigning human modality.
