What is the ruling on saying: "There is no god but Allah, and no beauty except you"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This saying is ill-mannered towards Allah Almighty, as it links the mention of the Shahada (testimony of faith) to describing a woman's beauty, which is an ugly analogy that ties the exclusivity of beauty to women with the exclusivity of divinity to Allah. This statement is a lie and a fabrication, and if said to a non-mahram woman, it is an act of flagrant transgression that introduces the name of Allah in an forbidden context. It is obligatory to show reverence towards Allah, magnify the Shahada, and abandon lying and exaggeration.
