Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on their saying, “Paradise longs for you,” when it is said to someone, “We have missed you”?
Answer:
Does he know that Paradise longs for him? But he should say, “We hope that Allah will make you among the people of Paradise, or that He will admit you to Paradise.” Now, to report about Paradise that it longs for him—this is saying something about Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
