This is blasphemy in the names of God, and likewise, if he named God by any name that He did not name Himself; then he is a blasphemer in the names of God.

The reason for that is that the names of God, the Almighty and Exalted, are restricted; therefore, it is not possible for us to establish for Him except what is established by textual evidence; therefore, if you named God with what He did not name Himself; then you have blasphemed and inclined away from the obligation.

And naming God with what He did not name Himself is bad etiquette with God, injustice and aggression in relation to Him; because if someone invited you with another name or called you by another name; you would consider him as having committed an offense against you and having wronged you, this in the created; how then about the Creator?

The second type: to deny something from His names; the opposite of the first; for the first is that God with what He did not name Himself, and this deprives God of what He named Himself; then he denies the name; whether he denies all the names or some of them that are established for God; then if he denies them; then he has blasphemed in them.

And the reason for blasphemy in them is that when God established them for Himself; it is necessary upon us to establish them for Him; therefore if we deny them; it was a blasphemy.

And there are those among the people who deny the names; like the extremists of the Jahmites, they said: there is no name for God ever! They said because you, if you establish a name for Him; you have made Him similar.
