Salafi belief that Allah [swt] cheats and mocks (God forbid)
We read in Sefat Allah by Alawi al-Saqaaf, page 89:
الخداعُ صفةٌ من صفات الله عَزَّ وجَلَّ الفعليَّة الخبريَّة الثابتة بالكتاب والسنة
“Cheating is a quality of Allah proven by the Quran and Sunnah”
On page 116, we read:
السُّخْرِيَةُ بِالكافِرينَ من الصفات الفعليَّة الخبريَّة الثابتة لله عَزَّ وجَلَّ بالكتاب والسنة.
“Mocking the disbelievers is a quality of Allah, proven by Quran and traditions”
Cheating involves acting dishonestly such as practice fraud. One that indulges in cheating is deemed as a person of bad character. Those convicted of cheating offences suffer long term consequences such as a bar on gaining certain types of employment or getting a good credit rating. Society looks down on cheats, the common man would steer away from any individual with a dishonest character, yet the Salafis want us to believe that this is a character of Allah (swt)! Should we aspire to be like Him (swt) and indulge in cheating for personal gain? If not, why not? After all if Allah (swt) possesses this quality, why shouldn’t we?
