Nothing Like Allah?

Muslims like to tell us that there is nothing like Allah. It has hands, but they are not like ours; a shin, but it is not like ours, a foot, but it is not like ours.


*S 42:11 The splitter of the skies and the Earth. He has made for you from yourselves husbands and from the cattle husbands; he multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like his likeness and he is the hearer, the seer.



A platypus has a tail, limbs, a bill, like other creatures, and there is nothing in creation like it.


S 33:32 Women of the prophet’s, you are not like one of the women. If you have feared then do not be submissive in speech so that the one in whose heart is disease desires, and say decent speech.


The founder of Islam's women weren't like 'one of the women', but all will agree that they were women. There's also a grammatical error in this verse, with the author using the masculine ahad when he should have used the feminine ihda 'one (of)'.


Hands, eyes, the shin, the foot are all designed things, made for a purpose. That being so, who or what designed Allah's body parts?


*Notice that in S 42:11 we read: "There is nothing like his likeness", which suggests that Allah has a likeness.
