What is the ruling on continuing to read novels that contain phrases which may be impermissible, such as the author's statement: "The will of God was embodied through him"?

The statement, "The will of the Lord was embodied through him," contains harshness and boldness towards the مقام الربوبية (station of Lordship), and is a statement about Allah without knowledge. Therefore, it should not be uttered, even if its absolute prohibition cannot be definitively asserted.

As for the narration containing it, it is judged by its content, objectives, and effect. If it does not contradict the purposes of Sharia (definition) and morals, there is no harm in reading it; otherwise, there is.
