What is the ruling on saying the word "Akaber" with the intention of showing respect and appreciation for a person, and is the one who says it sinful?

There is no harm in describing someone as respectful, religious, and ethical, provided that the description is free from falsehood and does not lead to the praised person becoming arrogant. It is more appropriate to say: "I consider him to be so, but I do not sanctify anyone before Allah."
