الشرح المختصر
“Tajseem” (Anthropomorphism) is a general term invented by the people of scholastic theology. It could be understood in different ways. If it refers to an essence with attributes that do not resemble the creation, or a self-sufficient and independent being that possesses such attributes that befit the Almighty Lord, then this term is correct. However, if it is used to refer to a being having such attributes that resemble created beings, or an entity composed of limbs, flesh, and blood, with its components being in need of one another, then this term is wrong and fallacious.
التعريف اللغوي المختصر
“Tajseem”: assembling, collecting, putting something into a body that gathers all its parts. It is derived from “jism”, which means body.
