The ruling on saying: "Help Yourself, O Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If someone were to ask: Is it permissible to say "Help Yourself, O Lord" based on the statement [Al-Hajj 22:40]?
Answer : The answer is no; this specific wording is not permissible. The intended meaning of "Allah's help" is the help of the religion and the Book—the religion that He chose and the Book that He revealed. For this reason, Ibn al-Qayyim moved away from the phrase "Help Yourself" and instead said: "Help Your Book, the Messenger, and Your exalted religion which You revealed as a proof and which You chose as a religion for Yourself, meaning Islam, as a religion for Yourself by which Your servants worship You."
