Referring to Allah Ta'ala by saying bhagwaan

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2022-05-28 08:05

Q: One day I said Allah apke pese dilade… bhagwan apke pese dilade…

Although bhagwan is the word that Hindu's use for their God, but I said it just like that and to show Hindus that Muslims are not extremists and for brotherhood and soldiarity with them as banks ran out of money and collapased.

What is the ruling regarding it? Did I do something wrong and is it kufr? My intention was never to say bhagwan means Allah

A: The name bhagwaan has hindu connotations. Hence, you should refrain from referring to Allah Ta'ala by this name. Make istighfaar and refrain from this in the future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
