Is it permissible to call Allah (Mighty and Majestic) a person?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The validity of calling Allah (Mighty and Majestic) a person.
The Shaykh : What we call it, my brother, meaning if we want to inform about Him, we say as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and we do not say "Allah is a person," nor in informing do we say "Allah is a person." We say: "No one is more unique than Allah." This is if the wording is not anomalous, because most of the narrators have it as "No one is more unique than Allah."
