Is it permissible to say "Be, and it is" to a person in his factory or his authority?
It is not permissible to exaggerate in praising someone by describing them with attributes that only befit God, such as the statement "So-and-so, in his factory, if he wills something, he says to it 'Be,' and it is." This is because it falls under the excessive praise forbidden by Islamic law, and is considered polytheism (shirk) and disbelief (kufr). For God alone is the One who says to a thing, "Be, and it is," and He is the Absolute Doer. As for the will of a servant, it is subordinate to the will of God.
