The Ruling on Saying "We Have Fallen from the Eye of Allah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the one who says, "We have fallen from the eye of Allah"? Is it appropriate to say this? Please inform us, may Allah forgive you.

Answer:
As for affirming the attribute of the Eye for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and affirming sight for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), this is established in a manner befitting the majesty of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), just as all His attributes are. However, saying "We have fallen from the eye of Allah," I do not consider this an appropriate expression, because it involves passing judgment on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and there is no evidence from the Shari'ah indicating this. But if one says, "We fear the anger of Allah, we fear the punishment of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) because we did such and such, how contemptible we are in the sight of Allah when we do such and such, how contemptible creation is in the sight of Allah," there is nothing wrong with that. But to say, "We have fallen from the eye of Allah," I do not consider this appropriate.
