Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Do you know of any that is similar to Him?"

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, it is stated in the tafsir of the verse of Allah the Exalted, “That you may know that there is none worthy of worship except Him,” that there is no one among creation who is named with the name of the People.

Answer:
No, that is not correct. Do you know what “worthy of worship” means? It means the one who is truly worthy of that name, the one who is truly worthy of it in reality. As for merely being named, yes, just as some of creation are named with some of the names of Allah, such as Majid (the Magnificent), Ra’uf (the Most Kind), or Rahim (the Merciful), which are among the names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Is the intended meaning that no one is to be named with any of the names of Allah? No, the intended meaning is that no one is truly worthy of the names of Allah in reality, and no one resembles Allah in them, even if he is named with them, he does not resemble Allah in them. Yes.
