God does not perform ungodly acts:

The attributes of Almighty God preclude any evil since God is the source of justice, mercy and truth. God can never be thought of as doing an ungodly act. Hence we cannot imagine God telling a lie, being unjust, making a mistake, forgetting things, or having any such human failings. Similarly God can do injustice if He chooses to, but He will never do it because being unjust is an ungodly act.


 

The Qur’an says:


“Allah is never unjust In the least degree.”   [Al-Qur'an 4:40]


God can be unjust if He chooses to be so, but the moment God does injustice, He ceases to be God.


God does not make mistakes


God can make mistakes if He wants to, but He does not make mistakes because making a mistake is an ungodly act. The Qur’an says:


“…my Lord never errs.”  [Holy Qur'an 20:52]


The moment God makes a mistake, he ceases to be God.


God does not forget


God can forget if He wants to. But God does not forget anything because forgetting is an ungodly act, which reeks of human limitations and failings. The Qur’an says:


“…my Lord never errs, nor forgets.”  [Al-Qur’an 20:52]


PHILOSOPHY OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM


Many religions at some point believe, directly or indirectly, in the philosophy of anthropomorphism i.e. God becoming a human.


Their contention is that Almighty God is so pure and holy that He is unaware of the hardships, shortcomings and feelings of human beings.


In order to set the rules for human beings, He came down to earth as a human. This deceptive logic has fooled countless millions through the ages. Let us now analyze this argument and see if it stands to reason.
