Al-Manaahi al-Lafziyyah (forbidden expressions)
Ruling on some people saying “Time is treacherous”
SaveCan it be said of the deceased that he is in the care of Allah?
There is nothing wrong with saying of a believer who has died that he is under the care of Allah, although this protection is not unique to the deceased, as we have noted from the hadith quoted above that the one who prays Fajr is under the care of Allah. For more details, please see the long answer.SaveRuling on saying “Life is no good”
It is proven that it is prohibited to inveigh against time, and the reason for this prohibition is that this inveighing includes one of two grave evils: by saying this, the one who is inveighing is either attributing the creation of events to time, in which case he is associating something else with Allah, may He be exalted, or he believes that these events, for which he is inveighing against time, are decreed by Allah, may He be exalted, in which case he is condemning Allah, may He be exalted – we ask Allah to protect us from that. The reason for the prohibition mentioned above is not applicable in the case of saying “Life is not good,” so there is nothing wrong with saying that or condemning this world, by way of highlighting how insignificant it is and how bad it is to be distracted by it from seeking the pleasure of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and by way of [??] feeling sad for what one misses out on of its glamour and gains.SaveRuling on calling a charity “Makers of the Future”

SaveCan We Say that a Person Has Wronged His Lord?
What is commonly said by some people, that it is possible for a person to wrong his Lord and to wrong himself and to wrong others is not correct. Rather the correct thing is to say that the person did wrong with regard to his relationship with his Lord.SaveWhat is the ruling on saying “Jesus!” when one is astonished or amazed or startled, as the Christians do?
It is not permissible for a Muslim to say “Jesus!” when he is astonished or amazed or startled, as the Christians do, because what they mean when they say it is “Oh my God!”, because they believe that Jesus (‘Eesa – peace be upon him) is God, but Jesus is not God; rather he is the slave and Messenger of Allah. Whoever believes that ‘Eesa is in any way divine is a disbeliever.SaveRuling on describing oneself or someone else as deserving something
