The Quran describes Allah with physical attributes such as a face, hands, and a shin, which implies that Allah has a physical form like humans.

The Christian understanding of God is rooted in the belief that God is spirit, as stated in John 4:24, which emphasizes that God does not have a physical form. The anthropomorphic descriptions found in the Quran, such as Allah having a face or hands, can be interpreted as figurative language meant to express God's closeness and relational nature to humanity rather than a literal embodiment. This is similar to how the Bible uses metaphorical language to describe God's attributes, such as referring to Him as a 'rock' or 'shepherd.' Furthermore, the concept of God in Christianity is that He transcends human understanding and limitations, which would preclude Him from being confined to a physical form. Therefore, while the Quran may use physical descriptors, they do not necessitate a literal interpretation of Allah having a physical body like humans do.
