Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: What is the ruling on some people saying that the servants wrong Allah the Exalted through shirk?
Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. This is a false statement. Allah is not wronged, but they wrong themselves; they wrong themselves through shirk and through disobedience. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), He is not harmed and He is not wronged (Glorified and Exalted is He). “You will not reach My harm so that you could harm Me, nor will you reach My benefit so that you could benefit Me.” Yes.
