The ruling on using certain phrases in reference to Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And his saying, "Do not leave without..."
The Shaykh:
Hammad is there. Hmm?
The questioner:
And His saying, the Exalted, "secretly without ablution," means the prayer upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
In this false speech, it is not permissible to use these things. If one says, "I am greater than Allah," or "Allah makes me great," or "the one who makes me great," this false speech is not permissible, because it contains harm and bad manners toward Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
