Tafsir ibn Kathir of 7:143 says, "...(And when his Lord appeared to the mountain,) Only the extent of the little finger appeared from Him...(He made it collapse) as dust;" Ibn Kathir says that the Prophet said that Allah showed His Finger?
How can Allah have fingers?


So question 1 is how can Allah have fingers (saying that Tafsir ibn Kathir is right)? That means Allah resembles His creation according to Ibn Kathir? (Anthropomorphism?)

Question 2 is that does Allah literally have light? But light is a creation? This makes it sound like Allah is physical, no?

I hope I'm not being obnoxious but also the hafiths say that the greatest blessing of the people in Heaven will be to see Allah. Does this mean (as I said before), the heart will create an image of Allah or are these hadiths fabricated?

So now, we covered family relationships. Now we will go on to the plurals of these members. Also formulas about the plural forms of most words will be taught.

So mother was اُمٌّ in Arabic. The plural form of mother (mothers) is اُمَّهَاتٌ.

Fathers in Arabic is اٰبَاءٌ.

So now, we went over all the family relationships mentioned here and made them plural. Now some rules about plurals will be discussed.

So for male members of the family, the rule of the plural form for them most of the time is that an alif should be added before the singular word. For example خَالٌ, which means maternal uncle, its plural form will be اَخْوَالٌ as listed earlier. Notice how an alif got added in اَخْوَالٌ. That's what I mean. Also, some masculine words in some cases may have another plural. For example, اِبْنٌ, which means son, can be بَنُوْنٌ instead of اَبْنَاءٌ. This type of plural has a waaw and noon added to the later part of the word. However, this is only in the nominative case. In the accusative and genitive cases, a yaa instead of a waaw is added with the noon, so it would be بنين instead of بنون. These cases may be mentioned in this board one day, if Allah wills.

As for feminine plurals, most of the time an alif (as a madd letter) and taa is added at the end of the word. For example, how خَالَةٌ, which means maternal aunt, turns into خَالَاتٌ in the plural. Notice how the alif and taa are added.

This section is totally barren and has no topics. That is why I decided to list family relationships in Arabic.

Mother:اُمٌّ

Father: اَبٌ

Brother: اَخٌ

Sister: اُخْتٌ

Paternal Aunt: عَمَّةٌ

Paternal Uncle: عَمٌّ

Maternal Aunt: خَالَةٌ

Maternal Uncle: خَالٌ

Son: اِبْنٌ

Daughter: اِبْنَةٌ

Brother's son (nephew): اِبْنُ الْاَخِ

Brother's daughter (niece): اِبْنَةُ الْاَخِ

Sister's son (nephew): اِبْنُ الْاُخْتِ

Sister's daughter (niece): اِبْنَةُ الْاُخْتِ


Rule to remember: For many female relatives like maternal aunt, paternal aunt, daughter and more, the word remains the same as the masculine version of it except that a round taa (ة) is added after the word. For example: Son is اِبْنٌ, so daughter is اِبْنَةٌ.

Wait there is no reply glitch, I was just being stupid. The replies went to page 2 I just realized.

Wait, there is a reply glitch but I saw his video again (this time paid a lot of attention)
 and it did pretty much say what you said. The meem is a multiplier in Hal-Umma and Azraq. The only part I did not believe is that Allahumma multiplied all of his attributes together. So yeah i get it now.
