What is the ruling of Islamic law on the saying, "from His Majesty the Exalted," if a created being is intended by it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden to name a person with names exclusive to Allah, as are names that denote glorification and commendation, such as "King of Kings." The Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, said: "Indeed, the most humiliating name in the sight of Allah is that of a man named 'King of Kings'." Similarly, it is prohibited to name oneself with names that imply commendation, such as "Al-Mahdi." Based on this, naming someone "His Majesty" or "The Exalted" and similar titles is a transgression of Islamic law.
