The ruling on attributing to Allah the enjoyment of supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man spoke in one of the mosques about the virtue of persisting in supplication, then said that Allah loves the servant’s persistence in supplication to Him and takes pleasure in it. When I spoke to him after this sermon and told him that this is not permissible, he said that this is a matter of reporting about Allah. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. It is a great sin to attribute to Allah that He takes pleasure. We do not say about Allah except what has come in the Book and the Sunnah. If it had come in the Book and the Sunnah that Allah takes pleasure in such and such, or that He loves such and such, we would not limit ourselves to that. Yes.
