Do not say "I created" but say "I made it by the permission of Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: If I make a cup, for example, can I say "I created it," or would that be an encroachment on the domain of Allah's attributes and names?
A5: Do not say "I created it," because the creation of things is the exclusive prerogative of Allah the Exalted, as He the Exalted said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:16], but say: "I made it by the permission of Allah, His power, and His strength," or "I did it." And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A5: Do not say "I created it," because the creation of things is the exclusive prerogative of Allah the Exalted, as He the Exalted said:
Allah is the Creator of all things
اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
