Is it permissible for me to say to God, "You are my Father"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to say "You are my father" to Allah the Almighty, because it contains a false meaning and deviates from the path of monotheists towards resembling Jews and Christians who describe God as a father. It is better to praise Allah with His Beautiful Names and Exalted Attributes, as stated in the Master of Supplications and the invocations of the Prophets, such as His saying, the Almighty: (And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path).
