Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between saying "peace be upon Allah" and "peace from Allah," and is either of them permissible?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. Do not say "peace be upon Allah from His servants," for Allah is As-Salam (The Source of Peace), and one does not invoke safety for Allah; rather, He is As-Salam (Glorified and Exalted is He). One only says "peace be upon" the created beings, upon the humans, and upon the angels. Yes, one invokes safety for them. Yes.
