What is the ruling on naming products "Nature's Gift" or similar phrases, and what are the implications of that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to attribute a gift to nature, neither literally nor metaphorically. This is due to the potential illusion of the infidel meaning believed by atheists, that nature controls the universe. A Muslim must safeguard their tongue and pen from such phrases that resemble the slogans of atheists. Nevertheless, this statement is not considered major disbelief (kufr akbar), because its utterer usually does not intend its true disbelief meaning, and intention is a condition for accountability, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has forgiven my Ummah for their mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do."
