The Ruling on Supplicating with the Attribute of the Guide

Question:
Is the attribute of "the Guide" one of the attributes of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)? And if it is not, is it permissible to use it in the context of supplication, such as a person saying, "O Guide, guide me"?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with him making this supplication: "O Guide, guide me to the truth and to the straight path." If it is used with a qualifier, such as "the Guide to the truth" or "the Guide to the religion, Islam," that is because this is among the attributes of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) guides whom He wills and leads astray whom He wills. The guidance that is the fitting of hearts to accept the truth is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He is the One who guides hearts and fits them to accept the truth. So there is nothing wrong with saying, "O Guide, guide me to the true religion, or to the truth, or ." As for using "the Guide" as one of the names of Allah, this requires evidence. I do not know of anything regarding it at the moment, but it requires further review. However, there is nothing wrong with using it in supplication. Yes.
