The following excerpt is short and to the point since it shows that the Islamic deity is nothing other than a finite, temporal humanoid figure who resembles the pagan gods rather than the one true God of the Holy Bible:

34 - Abdullah ibn Sulayman ibn al-Ash'ath al-Sijistani narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to me, on the authority of Sulayman ibn Harb, who said: Hammad ibn Zayd said: "The example of the Jahmiyyah is like that of a man who was asked: Do you have a date palm in your house? He said: Yes. He was asked: Does it have fronds? He said: No. He was asked: 'Does it have leaves? He said: ‘No. He was asked: Does it have trunks? He said: No. He was asked: Does it have a trunk? He said: No. It was said: Does it have a root? He said: No. It was said: Then there is no palm tree in your house. These are the Jahmiyyah. It was said to them: Do you have a Lord? They said: Yes. It was said: Does He speak? They said: No. It was said: Does He have a hand? They said: No. It was said: Does He have a foot? They said: No. It was said: Does He have a finger? They said: No. It was said: Does He get pleased and angry? They said: No. It was said: Then there is no Lord for you.” (A book explaining the doctrines of the Sunnis by Ibn Shahin: https://shamela.ws/book/13124/34)
