Q: When I read about Allah’s attributes, especially Face, Hand, Laughter etc, I think/speak what I think it means. Then I think what if I did anthropomorphism. I immediately get scared and say Ya Allah if I did kufr then please forgive me and say kalimah. If my interpretation is true, will I have committed kufr for thinking of it as kufr?
A: The requirement in imaan is to believe in the words and don’t formulate any shape or form in your mind because the Qur’aan says that there is none like unto him.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
