Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Why did the scholars shorten the word "barak" (bless) when referring to Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
Yes, because "tabarak" (Blessed) has not been used for anyone other than Allah. "Tabarak" is not used except for Allah. "Blessed is Allah, the best of creators"[Al-Furqan 25:1] "Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion." Therefore, it is not permissible to say "tabarak" (Blessed) for a created being, or "tabarakta" (you are blessed), or "tabarak 'alayna" (blessed be upon us). Rather, you say "baraka Allahu fi" (May Allah bless you) or "you are a source of blessing" (mubarak), but you do not say "tabarakta" (you are blessed). Yes.

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant
