- Allah (The Exalted)'s existence

1) Allah (The Exalted) is Pure from body and parts. Meaning He is not a body nor are any things connected to Him that you would find in a body, in fact this is impossible to Him.
2) He is pure from place or boundary, direction, face, weight, breadth, gain, loss, joint with something, to mix in something, to be born to give birth, to move from one place to another place, to change in shape or size, or any other thing which may relate to a body.
3)  In the Qur'an and the Hadith where many words that have been used to explain Allah (The Exalted), for example 'Yadd' meaning hand, 'Wajh' meaning face, 'Rijl' meaning leg, 'Dihac' meaning to smile etc. which according to the dictionary relates to the body, to take this type of meanings is to go astray or one who has bad beliefs (because Allah (The Exalted) does not have a body).

4)  These types of words are interpreted according to the dignity of Allah (The Exalted), because to take these words literally is impossible for Allah (The Exalted). For example Yadd's interpretation is Power and Wajh is interpreted as self and Istiw'a is interpreted as to power over someone. However, it is better that one should not even consider interpretation without cause. In fact one should believe it as correct and leave the meaning to Allah (The Exalted), i.e. He knows better.

5) Our faith is on the quote of Allah (The Exalted) and is beloved Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Istiw'a is correct, Yadd is correct but this Istiw'a is not like the Istiw'a of a creation. His Yadd is not like the Yadd of a creation. His speech, His sight, His hearing is not like the speech, sight, and hearing of a creation.
