The third question of Fatwa number ( 16483 )
Q3: Is it permissible for us to supplicate to Allah with names that did not come in the Qur'an, as the English do with (GOD), considering it a translation of the name of Allah?
A3: Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:180] , so Allah is supplicated to with His names and attributes established in the Book and the Sunnah, and He is not supplicated to with anything else that did not come in the Book and the Sunnah. And if it is possible to pronounce them with the Arabic wording, it is obligatory; because it is the language of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. And if it is not possible, it is permissible in the language that one is able to use; because of His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them
وَلِلَّهِ الأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَاAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَا
