During my research I found a perfect speech by Sheikh Ibn Uthaiman (Allah grant mercy upon his soul ), he was asked about the meaning of Prophet’s (Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him) speech that : “Allah created Adam in His own image” ?
He replied:
This hadith, I mean Prophet’s (Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him) speech : “Allah created Adam in His own image”, is confirmed in Sahih (Corrects), it is known that the expression's appearance is not what intended and all the Muslims the wise heads confirm this; cause Allah the Almighty His Seat (Kursi) extends over the heavens and the earth , all the heavens and the earth are like a ring thrown in to desert land if compared to a position of feet in the Seat, and the greatness of His Throne if compared to Seat (Kursi) is like the greatness of the desert land if compared to the ring , so what do you think of Allah the Lord of the worlds ? no one can comprehend this neither through describing nor imagination, and from this quality of His, He can not be like Adam’s appearance sixty cubits, but it has possibly two meanings:
First :
Allah created Adam in an image He chose, and added it to the Almighty Himself for the purpose of honoring and respecting.
Second:
What is intended from “Allah created Adam in His own image” is the sentence only , and just being in His image does not necessarily mean likeness and the evidence is his (Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him) speech: “The (members) of the first group to get into Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night, and the next to this group would have their faces as bright as the shining star in the sky” it does not mean they look full moon exactly; because the moon is bigger than the people of Paradise, while they enter the Paradise their length is sixty cubits, so they are not like the moon.
It is understood from what mentioned : his (Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him) : “Allah created Adam in His own image”. Means : an image of the images Allah the Almighty created and formed ;
Allah the Almighty says: “And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"” Al Ahraf(11), the one who was formed was Adam ; so Adam in Allah the Almighty’s image I mean: Allah the Almighty created Adam in this image that He the Almighty liked, and it is regarded as the best image of the creatures; Allah the Almighty says: “We have certainly created man in the best of stature;” Altin (4), Allah the Almighty added the image for the sake of honoring, Allah the Almighty cared about this image, and because of this and other reasons slapping at the face which is a harmful feeling is prohibited, and cursing (make ugly) it is prevented like saying: Allah make your face ugly, so finding fault within a face which is the same as your face means criticizing your own……
In brief:
Allah the Almighty has face, eye, leg, laughs and becomes happy…. But this does not mean those qualities are like what human being has, there is a some likeness but not exactly, like the first group of Paradise are like the moon but not all the same, and this is the faith of Sunnis and the community……

قل هو الله احد * الله الصمد * لم يلد و لم يولد * و لم يكن له كفوا احد
Dis : " Lui, Dieu, est Un ! * Dieu est le Soutien universel ! * Il n'engendre pas et Il n'est pas engendré, * et Il n'a pas d'égal. "
