What is the ruling on using the word "برب" (BRB - Be Right Back) in conversations, and is it forbidden because it might anger Allah Almighty, especially given the evidence from the verse "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of Daybreak" (Qur'an 113:1), which indicates that "Lord" (رب) is one of Allah's Beautiful Names?

The word "brb" is not beneficial speech, nor is it permissible to worship with it or claim that it assuages the Lord's wrath. A Muslim should worship through the established supplications and invocations (dhikr) authentically transmitted in the texts of revelation, or through reciting the Qur'an, or through seeking knowledge.
