The Quran and the Sunnah contain terms such as "the Hand of Allah," "His Eye," "He established Himself," "Allah plots," and "Allah mocks," among others, which might cause some people to misunderstand these attributes in a manner that is not befitting of Allah. How should we approach these terms? Should we affirm a certain level of similarity and leave the "how" to Allah? Should we entrust the meaning entirely to Allah without delving into it? Or should we interpret them metaphorically? Is interpretation (ta’wil) considered a distortion (tahrif)? Are all these approaches accepted by Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jama‘ah*? And why did Allah place such terms in the Quran, knowing that they could lead to differences of opinion among Muslims?

I am confused about my faith because some people argue for the validity of anthropomorphism, claiming it is necessary to affirm that Allah has limbs and body parts, based on the literal meanings of numerous Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions. They say this is the view of the righteous predecessors (salaf al-salih) and well-known scholars. Others, however, say that anthropomorphism is a false and innovative doctrine, not upheld by the righteous predecessors but rather by those with weak certainty. What is the precise meaning of "the doctrine of anthropomorphism," and is it an acceptable belief in Islam? Please guide me out of this confusion in the simplest and clearest way.

I have read in some books of theology that it is obligatory for an accountable person (Mukallaf) to know what is necessary for Allah the Almighty, what is impossible for Him, and what is permissible. It was mentioned that the word "Mukallaf" includes both men and women. Is this statement correct according to Islamic law? Moreover, is it obligatory for women to learn the mentioned beliefs as it is for men, or is the authoritative opinion otherwise?
