The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is writing "What Allah willed, Blessed and Exalted is He" on a car minor shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not shirk at all, but this practice is not done. The remembrance of Allah is with the hearts, the tongues, and the deeds; it is not by writing on walls or cars or things that do not benefit. This is not the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The remembrance of Allah is with the tongue, the heart, and righteous deeds. Yes.
