Is it permissible to describe Allah as "treasure of him who has no treasure," "store of him who has no store," and "cave of him who has no cave"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah is not named or described except by what He named and described Himself with in His Book and the of His Prophet (peace be upon him). However, the door of informing about Allah is wider. And the supplicant's saying: "O Treasure, O Reserve" is permissible, because it does not imply any deficiency. As for the word "O Cave," it suggests an unsuitable meaning, so Allah Almighty is not described with it. Nevertheless, its utterer is not ruled to be an disbeliever.
