Speaker 1 discusses the physical body and how it is impossible for Allah to have a physical body. The physical body is dependent on the matter and location, and physical bodies have limits. Allah's actions are seen as impermissible and his actions are seen as disrespectful.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Does Allah have a physical body at all?
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			A physical body indicates dependency,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			and there is no indication
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			that Allah has a physical body, and it's
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			forbidden to believe that he has a physical
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			body. Physical bodies
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			are dependent on the matter they're composed of
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			and on the location in which they rest.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Physical bodies have limits, and Allah does not
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			have a limit. Hence, a tajsim is an
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			impermissible
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			and heretical belief
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			to say that Allah has a physical body.
