ما هو الفرق بين "تبارك الله" و"أن يبارك العبد أو النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم"؟

The description "Tabaraka" (blessed be He) is exclusive to Allah Almighty, indicating the perfection, greatness, and vastness of His blessing. Ibn al-Qayyim explained that blessing is of two types: 1. Blessing of action: This is what Allah does, as in His saying: "Baraka" (He blessed), and its object is "Mubarak" (blessed), like the Messiah (peace be upon him): {And He has made me blessed wherever I am} [Maryam: 31]. 2. Blessing of attribute: This is the attribute "Tabaraka" (blessed be He), which is exclusive to Allah Almighty, as stated in the Qur'an: {Blessed be Allah, Lord of the worlds} [Al-A'raf: 54]. This attribute signifies the abundance and perpetuity of goodness, and that all goodness is in His hands.

The word "Tabaraka" is structured to convey vastness and hyperbole, similar to "Ta'ala" (Exalted be He) and "Ta'atham" (Magnified be He). It signifies the perfection and greatness of blessing, the elevated status and majesty of Allah, His magnificence, the abundance and perpetuity of His goodness, and the convergence of all perfect attributes within Him.
