In the KHALAF period, the danger now is that the ignorant
people are mistakenly assuming or interpreting their meaning,
literally. Thus the necessity for TA’WIL to ensure they have the
correct understanding.

blatant lie, as though ‘implying’ that – there was not even a single

so now is deviancy according to them.

Therefore correct way of explaining the MUTASHAABIHAT aayat in
the Qur‘an is to say one believes in them according to the meaning
that Allah willed or intended it, without implying literally what that
meaning is; and without a 'how,' i.e., without attributing to Allah
‘sitting, standing, occupying places, sensuous attributes’, or any of
the meanings that apply to humans and others in creations.

The NEO-SALAFIS often use this statement to accuse
(or insinuate) the traditional Islamic scholars today
who accepts and apply TA’WIL , are committing BID’AH.
This is malicious because actually the BID’AH is
when ordinary people began to ‘question’ the apparent
anthropomorphic implication of these verses – as
warned by Imam Malik r.a. : “and the questioning about
it is (reprehensible) innovation –BID’AH.”
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2015))
So our traditional scholars are only responding to this
BID’AH by ensuring that such misinterpretation is avoided.
While it is those NEO-SALAFIS or whosoever who allow such
‘misinterpretation’ to these “MUTASHAABIHAT” verses to
persist, not giving the correct TA’WIL (some even preventing
by condemning others who are giving it’s correct
interpretation), they are the ones who are being irresponsible
to the ummah and indeed, condoning the real BID’AH.

“Whithersoever ye turn, there is Allah's

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 115)
Imam Mujahid, the student of Ibn ‘Abbas r.a., said that the word
WAJH means ‘QIBLAH,' i.e., the direction of prayers during the
voluntary prayers while traveling and riding on an animal. Yet, the
literalist (anthropomorphist) insist on taking the literal meaning; they
say the term, WAJH means 'face.'All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2015))

When taken literally, it may mean that “Allah blew part of His
Soul” into Mary to conceive ‘Isa (Jesus) a.s. However, this is wrong
thus the scholars said that this ayah must be understood to mean:
“Allah ordered arch-angel Jibril to blow into Mary the soul ‘Isa a.s.
which is honorable to Allah.”

The Arabic word “YAD” literally do means ‘hands’, yet here it is
clearly being used as a figure of speech, in a metaphorical sense.
