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
