The Ruling on Saying "Divine Providence Saved Me"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abd al-Rahman from Unayzah says: A friend of mine constantly repeats a phrase on his tongue, saying that divine providence saved him from that accident and from that situation. What is the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding this phrase?
Answer:
This is not attributed to the attribute; rather, it is attributed to Allah. One should say, "Allah saved me from such-and-such by His providence and mercy," or "Allah saved me by His providence, mercy, and kindness from such-and-such." Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
