Are phrases such as: "May Allah get you into trouble," "Oh, by Allah," or "By my father, by Allah," "We enter upon Allah," "How beautiful you are, O Allah," or "I kiss Allah," and saying "Ya Allah" with emphasis on both "Lams" when angry—are these considered explicit or implicit phrases of disbelief, and does disbelief befall the one who utters them unintentionally?

It does not appear to us that the aforementioned phrases are grounds for disbelief, as they are devoid of any causes for disbelief. This is further confirmed if their usage is customary and they carry a correct meaning. However, one must observe proper decorum in speech when mentioning Allah Almighty by avoiding ambiguous or equivocal phrases, such as the expression: "I kiss Allah." The word "kissing" is indeed unfitting for the greatness and majesty of Allah Almighty.
