Is there anything wrong with saying, "And the eye of Your star does not betray," in praise of Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Informing about Allah is broader than describing Him, and it does not necessitate strict adherence to texts. However, proper etiquette with Allah requires caution in informing about Him and avoiding ambiguous phrases. The phrase "and the eye of your star does not betray" is unclear, and even if it does not carry a corrupt meaning, it suggests a meaning that is not befitting to attribute to Allah. Therefore, it should be avoided.
