Praise be to Allaah.
It seems that it is not permissible to give the name Tabaarak to any
created being, because it is an attribute that belongs only to Allaah,
may He be exalted.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
As for His attribute Tabaarak, it is His alone, as He has attributed
it to Himself. End quote.
Badaa'i' al-Fawaa'id (2/185).
Shaykh Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shanqeeti said, after quoting opinions
about the meaning of Tabaarak:
It seems that the meaning of Tabaarak from a linguistic point ofview
is that it is derived from the word barakah (blessing), as was stated
by Ibn Jareer al-Tabari. Based on that, the meaning of Tabaarak is an
abundance of blessings and goodness from Him, which implies His
greatness and holiness, being far removed from anything that does not
befit His perfection and majesty, because the One from Whom blessing
and goodness come and whobestows provision uponpeople is the only One
Who is great and deserves to be worshipped alone. The one from whom no
blessing or goodness or provision comes, such as the idols and all
those who are worshipped instead of Allaah cannot be rightfully
worshippedand worshipping them iskufr which will doom a person to Hell
for eternity.
The word Tabaraak appears in the past tenseand it is not possible to
form a present tense or verbal noun or active participle etc from it.
It isone of the attributes which belong only to Allaah, so it cannot
be said of anyone else, which is different from the view of al-Asma'i.
The word Tabaarak is used by the Arabs to refer only to Allaah and
this is known in their language. End quote.
Adwa' al-Bayaan (6/262, 263).
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez al-Salmaan (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Barakah is an attribute that is ascribed to Him asmercy and might are
ascribed to Him, and the verb derived from it is Tabaarak, hence it
cannot be said of anyone other than Him, may He be glorified and
exalted. For He is al-Mubaarik (the giver ofblessing) and His slave
and Messenger is al-Mubaarak (the one who is blessed), as the Messiah
said: "And He has made me blessed" [Maryam 19:31]. The one whom Allaah
blesses is blessed (mubaarak), but as an attribute it applies only to
Him, as He has said of Himself: "Blessed is Allaah, the Lord of the
'Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)" [al-A'raaf 7:54]. End
quote.
Al-Kawaashif al-Jalliyyah Sharh al-'Aqeedah al-Waasitiyyah (p. 283).
Based on this, it is not permissible to ascribe this attribute to
anyone except Allaah, may He beexalted, because it belongs only to
Him.
And Allaah knows best.
