That is because the names of Allah the Exalted are exclusive to Him, as He the Exalted said: {And to Allah belong the most beautiful names, so invoke Him by them}.

The Shaykh :"So they named their idols with them, and that is because the names of Allah the Exalted are exclusive to Him, as He the Exalted said: [Al-A'raf 7:180] And His saying: [Taha 20:8] And His saying: [Al-Hashr 59:24] Therefore, naming anyone other than Him with them in the manner that is exclusive to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is a deviation from what is required of them."
So the categories now, or the types, are four, and the author says of all of them: "And deviation (ilhad) in all its types is forbidden, because Allah the Exalted threatened the deviants by His saying:[Al-A'raf 7:180]"

The Shaykh : It is not there; include it, include it, because Allah threatened the deviants by His saying[Al-A'raf 7:180]. The word "leave" (dhuru) is an imperative verb, and its intended meaning is threat, just as a person who has seized a criminal says, "Let him go, let him go, let him go," meaning what? That he will deal with him harshly; he wants to deal with him harshly. So His saying: means, "Leave them; I will punish them." And for this reason He said: [Al-A'raf 7:180]. Is this "sin" (sīn) for realization or for delay? It is for realization, meaning for the one who brings a nearness. And know that the "sin" conveys two meanings: the first meaning is realization, and the second meaning is proximity.
Yes,[Al-A'raf 7:180].
"And among it is what constitutes deviation (ilhad) that becomes shirk (associating partners with Allah), or kufr (disbelief), according to what the Shari'ah evidence requires". So it is forbidden; this is the principle. And it may be shirk, and it may be kufr, according to what the Shari'ah evidence requires. Now, the rule is finished. The rules regarding the names have become seven, and praise be to Allah.
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them
وَلِلَّهِ الأسماء الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَاAllah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.
اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الأسماء الْحُسْنَىto Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him
لَهُ الأسماء الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضSo the categories now, or the types, are four, and the author says of all of them: "And deviation (ilhad) in all its types is forbidden, because Allah the Exalted threatened the deviants by His saying:
And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَThe student: ... .
