Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on this statement: “Allah Glorified and Exalted is He and Satan are two sides of the same coin”? Because some say that it is merely bad manners toward Allah and not disbelief. What is the truth of this?
The Shaykh:
Who says this?
The questioner:
Yes, may Allah forgive you. He says: What is the ruling on this statement?
The Shaykh:
No, what is the ruling on the one who says it? Yes, because some say that it is merely bad manners toward Allah and not disbelief. The one who says this does not know what disbelief is. Therefore, this is the greatest of disbelief and atheism, may Allah protect us from it. But the one who says this statement does not know what disbelief is, or he is a person of desire and misguidance, may Allah protect us from it. Yes.
