Quran and comparison

Throughout the Quran, the superlative word of comparison is used to describe Allah, beginning by saying "Allah the most beneficent, most merciful". These are qualities of humans also. It is the law of comparison that all comparisons must be between things or qualities of the same kind. Further, the pronoun He is used in reference to Allah. There is no escape from the fact that one way or the other Allah is linked to his creation. While some religions acknowledge this link by celebrating the anthropomorphizing of Allah or God, Islam at one level denies it for fear of committing “shirk”.
