tashbih

In Islam, the comparison of God to created things. The practice of attributing human characteristics to the deity is regarded as a sin in Islamic theology, as is its opposite, ta'til (divesting God of all attributes). The difficulty of dealing with the nature of God in Islam arises from seemingly contradictory views in the Qur'an, which describes God as unique, yet also refers to him as having eyes, ears, hands, and face. Tashbih is forbidden out of the fear that its practice will lead to paganism and idolatry; ta'til is feared to lead to atheism.
