The first thing you need to know is what does it mean to do

Taspi of Allah, T do tasbih of Allah

tasbih of the name of Allah sabbihizmarabik al-A-a-a so let me get into that a little

bit with you first and foremost it's different from saying Allah is perfect.

Now you're thinking about the descriptions of Allah, and so the first thing we're going to appreciate here is don't make names up for Allah.

Like if you're going to maintain the perfection of

Allah's names, that don't make up your own names for Allah. In other words, you know people

for example talk casually about Allah or God and they say he's like my best friend,

he's my buddy, he me and people say things like that about

casually like he and I we just get it you know you can get chummy with a lot you can get

friendly with a lot but there are parameters.

That's the point of revelation.

Revelation will teach you what are the intimate names you can use for Allah.

What are the formal names you use for Allah?

So even if you're going to feel something towards Allah, you cannot just talk

about him like you talk about any other relationship. There has to be a certain decorum you

have to maintain. That's the first implication of some Bihismar Abbikala. Then of course the other one, the second one, very important,

is that there are many names of Allah that we use for ourselves also.

And that sounds bad, but it's true.

Allah, for example, is alim, he's knowledgeable.

That's a word we use for ourselves also.
