Abstract

Externalism, in an apparent interpretation of some Quranic phrases, such as "standing on the Throne", leads to a kind of corporeality about God that, in a rationalistic and interpretative analysis, is incompatible with the monotheism of God in various dimensions. Islamic schools usually also cite narrative books to justify their foundations. In this case, the question becomes whether those documents sufficiently support the claims. In the meantime, a comparative study of the sources of the two sects (Shiite and Sunni) that form the main discursive and allegorical fronts will provide better results in determining the predominant orientation of Islamic sources and will be a suitable test of the extent to which the narratives support the theological claim.Do the narrative sources provide sufficient support for the embodiment view? This article attempts to examine the comparative validity of the implications of the hadiths of these authoritative books for the disembodied or embodiment views, through library studies and a comparative-analytical method, by explaining the "Istwa' Ali Arsh" in two Islamic narrative sources. The findings show that these hadiths directly or indirectly imply disembodied rather than embodiment; and the embodiment inferences in both sources have been opposed
