[The ruling on the phrase: (The justice of the sky and the light of the sky) and the like]
What is the ruling on phrases that come from contemporary writers in their writings, such as saying: the justice of the sky, or the guidance of the sky, or the upper light, and also describing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a genius, and that he is the best leader in the world? Is it permissible to use these terms in a general sense?
They mean by the light of the sky and the guidance of the sky the light of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His guidance; because it is in the sky, but it is better that they refrain from these words and say: the light of Allah and the guidance of Allah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (except that the One in the sky is angry with it) He said: (the One in the sky) So using such expressions requires a person to pause and consider, and it should be said: it is better that you attribute the thing to the one to whom it truly belongs; because the sky itself does not contain guidance and does not contain light, rather it is the light of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the guidance of Allah.
As for describing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a genius, if the man means that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) possesses knowledge regarding the affairs of life, such as courage, generosity, and the like, then there is no harm. But if he means that he is a genius, but he did not attain this status except by his genius, not by being the Messenger of Allah, then this is not permissible. The Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, without doubt, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the most courageous of people, the most generous of people, the most bountiful of people, and the best of people in character.
