Is it permissible to call a created being "the one of majesty"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The word "al-Jalal" (Majesty), we said, is the attribute of one who is described with the perfection of attributes and the perfection of dominion.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Al-Jalal (Majesty)

The Shaykh : Al-Jalil (The Majestic)

The questioner : Al-Jalil (The Majestic), yes, that is correct.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : The one described with the perfection of dominion and the perfection of attributes as well.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ... the one of majesty, dominion, such and such, the one of majesty.

The Shaykh : No, this is ... first, "al-Jalalah" (Majesty) is not "al-Jalal" (Majesty); it is the feminine form.

The questioner : "The one of majesty" is in the feminine form.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is in the feminine form. And the second point is that majesty belongs to every thing according to its measure; the majesty of every thing is according to its measure. So the majesty of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is not described with majesty. Yes.
