A response to Non-Muslims
1. God is the greatest and highest in honour and position:
“And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent.”
(Al-Quran, 3:189)
When Allah(God) is the greatest and highest in honour, then it is not worth for Him to do such deeds which degrade His position. Now if He takes incarnation, He has to take inferior worldly form which is a degradation of His highest position.
2. God is not comparable:
“And there is none comparable unto Him”
(Al-Quran, 112:04)
God is so high that we can not compare Him with anything. For this reason, our limited dimension can not measure Him and also our limited power of eye sight can not hold His image as God has no worldly image. But if He takes any worldly form, He will then be compared with our limited dimensional forms. So God will then lose His Godly character.
3. God is above all worldly limitation:
We human being stays at the level of worldly limitations. We have positive and negative issues. We depend on food, rest etc. We become impure, we become pure. We get birth, we die. Such worldly limitations are around us.
The One Who controls everything, is not worth for Him to be equal to our limitations. For example, if God takes incarnation, or we consider that incarnation is a part of God taking a worldly form, then God has to accept impurity as our world is full of much dirt and filth. Again if God takes incarnation, it is logical that He has to depend on food, rest etc to maintain His worldly body. He has to be born and has to die. So it will not hold God’s highest position which will result that God has worldly limitation. We Muslim consider such God Who is above all worldly limitations.
“If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: [High is He] above what they attribute to Him”
(Al-Quran, 21:22)
4. God understands and controls everything:
As an engineer makes a machine, he can then understand the situation of that machine and can be able to control it. Similarly God has created us, so He can also understand our feelings and emotions and has control over us. So it is not worth for God to take incarnation to come on earth and understand our feelings as then it will indicate that God is not highest in control and power. We Muslim believe in such God Who can understand our feelings and can control everything.
“Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.”
(Al-Quran, 3:29)
5. Practical examples:
According to Indian philoshophy, God takes incarnation to destroy evil people and save the good ones. If it is so, then where was God in incarnated form, when the first world war occured, when the second world war occured? Why He did not come on earth to save people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Why He did not come to save india from the long time British bondage???
Ask yourself, are you worshipping the true God!
In islam we believe that this worldly life is a test and the complete result of our deeds will be given in the hereafter. And so God is not unjust but he tests us in different ways.
“[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed – and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving”
(Al-Quran, 67:02)
“Allah does not inflict an atom’s weight of injustice. On the contrary, He multiplies the reward manifold for the righteous work, and grants from Him a great recompense.”
(Al-Quran, 4:40)
“The Day(Day of Judgement) is approaching when every soul shall find itself confronted with whatever good it has done and whatever evil it has wrought. It will then wish there is a wide space between it and the Day!…”
(Al-Quran, 3:30)
