God as Father
Front
Why do Muslims reject the idea of God as 'Father'?
Back
Islamic theology views humans as 'slaves' ('abd) of Allah, and 'fatherhood' is seen as implying biological procreation, which is considered blasphemous toward God's transcendence.
Explanation
Christian apologists clarify that 'Father' is a metaphor for a relational, covenantal bond, not biological descent.
Source or basis: Quran 112:3; Abdu Murray
