—absolutely—and He then singled out speaking about Allah when He said:

“Say: My Lord has only forbidden indecencies, whether overt or hidden, sin, transgression without right, that you associate with Allah anything for which He has sent down no authority, and that you say about Allah what you do not know.” (Al-Aʿrāf 33)

He also forbade following the footsteps of Satan and informed us that Satan commands people to speak about Allah without knowledge. Thus He said:

“O mankind, eat of what is lawful and wholesome on the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan; indeed, he is to you a manifest enemy.” (Al-Baqarah 168) (168)

“He only commands you to evil, indecency, and to say about Allah what you do not know.” (Al-Baqarah 169) (169)

“And when it is said to them, ‘Follow what Allah has revealed,’ they say, ‘Rather, we follow what we found our fathers upon,’ even though their fathers understood nothing and were not rightly guided?” (Al-Baqarah 170)
