What is the ruling on saying: "The meaning of creativity is making the impossible, and I make the impossible. Imitators are always behind me"?
A servant has no power unless Allah grants it to him, and he must always attribute grace to his Lord, as Allah Almighty says: "And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah." Therefore, the phrase "we made the impossible" should be avoided, as it indicates self-admiration. It is more befitting to say: "This is by the grace of my Lord," as Sulaiman and Yusuf (peace be upon them) said. However, the phrase "made the impossible" in the context of being able to do what others are incapable of, there is no harm in using it. Linguistically, innovation (ibda') is the invention of something without a prior example.
