The ruling on describing a person as being in love with Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to say so-and-so is in love with Allah, because *'ishq* is one of the levels of love?
Answer:
To Allah belongs all praise, and there is no power except with Allah. No, this is not permissible. One says so-and-so is in love, and he is likened to Allah. It is not said that he is in love (*'ashiq*).
