Ruling on the statement: “The Most Merciful walks with you” and “The Most Merciful visits you”
This person says: What is the ruling on saying: “The Most Merciful walks with you” and “The Most Merciful visits you”?
It is forbidden. This is not permissible and makes no sense. The Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic, is approached, and He comes to those who come to Him. “Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him running”; this is how it came in the authentic hadith. As for “The Most Merciful visits you,” who are you? Are you the Most Merciful who is being visited?—He means himself—This is not permissible, and one must forbid it.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and Glory be to You, O our Lord, and with Your praise, I bear witness that there is no deity but You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
