Does Allah’s – Exalted is He – joy, when He rejoices, resemble our joy? And why did the Hadith compare Allah’s joy to the joy of a servant, which suggests that His joy is like the joy of a servant, but more intense?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The attribute of joy has been affirmed for Allah Almighty, as stated in the : "Allah is more joyful over the repentance of His servant than one of you is over his riding-beast [after losing and then finding it]...", and it is a real joy befitting His majesty, not resembling the joy of created beings; for there is nothing like Allah Almighty.
