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

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it mentioned in the exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted that that there is no one among the creation who is named with the name of Allah?

Answer:
No, this is not correct. The word "similar" (samiyyan) means one who deserves His name, one who deserves His name in reality. As for naming, mere naming is not prohibited. Some of the creation are named with some of the names of Allah, such as Majid (the Magnificent), Ra'uf (the Most Merciful), and Rahim (the Merciful), which are among the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So what is intended is that no one is named with any of the names of Allah, but what is intended is that no one deserves the names of Allah in reality. Yes. He is not likened to Him in them, and even if he is named with them, he is not likened to Him in them. Yes.
