The first question of Fatwa number ( 18672 )
Q 1: The statement of the one who says: (Allah is in the hearts of the believers) . Does this mean that the speaker is a follower of the doctrine of divine indwelling, and which of the misguided sects is the one that made this statement?
A 1: It is better to avoid this statement: (Allah is in the hearts of the believers); because it suggests the doctrine of divine indwelling, and it should be replaced by saying: The believers love Allah, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:165] , and He the Exalted said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:54] , and if the one who says this means that the love of Allah is in the hearts of the believers and that they fear Him and are afraid of Him, then there is
no harm in that, as the meaning is correct, as Allah the Exalted said:[Fatir 35:28] , and He the Exalted said: [Ar-Rahman 55:46] , and He the Exalted said: [At-Tawbah 9:18] the verse, from Surat al-Tawbah. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A 1: It is better to avoid this statement: (Allah is in the hearts of the believers); because it suggests the doctrine of divine indwelling, and it should be replaced by saying: The believers love Allah, as Allah the Exalted said:
But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِAllah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him
فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُno harm in that, as the meaning is correct, as Allah the Exalted said:
Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge.
إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُBut for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens -
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِThe mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah
إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلا اللَّهَ
