Is it permissible to design an image for the Google homepage, changing the word "Google" to "Allah" in the same font and color as the logo, writing "He has all the answers to all your questions" in the search bar, and quoting "Call upon Me; I will respond to you" beneath the image, with the aim of inspiring Muslims?

Allah is too magnificent to be likened to Google, and such a comparison may be forbidden and entail a diminishment of His exalted being. People can be connected to Allah and encouraged to rely on Him through Quranic verses such as: "And your Lord says, 'Call upon Me; I will respond to you'" [Quran 40:60], or "Is not He who responds to the distressed one when he calls upon Him" [Quran 27:62]. For the Quran contains admonition, healing, richness, and sufficiency that make these strained analogies unnecessary. The Companions were always commanded to adhere to the Quran.
