Is it permissible to attribute thought to Allah, such as saying “Be as Allah thinks you are, or as Allah thinks well of you”?
Praise be to Allah.
I put this question to our shaykh, ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan al-Barraak (may Allah preserve him), and he replied: This expression is false and reprehensible. It is not permissible to attribute thought to Allah or to say that Allah thinks such and such, or Allah thinks well of So-and-so, and the like. End quote.
And Allah knows best.
