Bila Kayf
| Quran |
|---|
The Arabic phrase Bila Kayf, also pronounced as Bila Kayfa, (
The concept is referred as Quranic literalism or Islamic literalism.An example is the apparent "contradiction" between references to God having human characteristics (such as the "hand of God" or the "face of God") and the concept of God as being transcendental. The position of attributing actual hands or an actual face to God was known in Arabic as tajsim or tashbih (corporealism or anthropomorphism).[6][7][8]
Another was the question of how the Quran could be both the word of God, but never have been created by God because (as many hadith testified) it has always existed.[9][10]
History
Muʿtazila. Instead of explaining that God has a literal face, which would anthropomorphize God, he explained that the earliest Muslims simply accepted the verses as they stand - without asking how or what.[10]

Interpretation
The term "bi-la kayf" is the belief that the verses of the
Qur'an
with an "unapparent meaning" should be accepted as they have come without saying how they are meant or what is meant, i.e. not attributing a specific meaning to them.
