Is praising other than Allah in any one of the praiseworthy attributes considered as diverting something specifically reserved for Allah, if the definite article "al-" in "Al-hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin" (All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds) signifies exhaustiveness, and that "all praises belong to Allah alone, to the exclusion of any other created beings"?

The definite article "al" in "al-hamdu lillah" (all praise is due to Allah) is said to denote comprehensiveness (istighraq), while others say it denotes the essence (mahiyyah). Al-Razi states that if we say it denotes comprehensiveness, then this means that all praise and commendation belong to Allah. However, if we say it denotes the essence, then this means that the essence of praise is rightfully Allah's and His alone. In both cases, praise belongs to Allah alone.

When a creature praises, the praise, in reality, belongs to Allah the Exalted, because He is the One who created that which prompts the благословение (blessing), created the blessing itself, and enabled the beneficiary to benefit from it. Furthermore, the "al" in "al-hamdu lillah" signifies comprehensiveness, meaning all praise belongs to Allah. He is the One who deserves praise, commendation, and glorification, due to His being described with attributes of perfection. As for the praise of a creature, it is not intrinsic to them, but rather bestowed upon them by Allah.
