Is it correct to use the word "feels" with the majestic name of God, as in the saying "Our Lord feels me"?

Linguistically, 'feeling' (إحساس) means knowledge of a thing and perception, encompassing what is perceived by the five senses and the inner self. Scholars have stated the permissibility of using it to describe Allah, because the domain of describing Allah is broader than that of naming and attributing. What is applied to Him, Exalted be He, in the domain of names and attributes is tawqifi (revealed and not subject to human reasoning), whereas describing Him does not require it to be tawqifi. Thus, it is permissible to describe Him with anything that is proper to attribute to Him, Exalted and Majestic is He.
