Allah the Exalted’s Oaths in the Qur’an by His Creations and by His Attributes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the one who says that Allah the Exalted swears by whatever He wills of His creations, so that, since He the Exalted has sworn by the Qur’an, the Qur’an would be among His creations?
Answer:
He swears by whatever He wills. Pay attention: He swears by whatever He wills of His creations, His verses, and His verses. And among His verses is the Qur’an. So He swears by the Qur’an because it is His speech, and His speech is an attribute among His attributes. So He swears by Himself (Exalted and Majestic is He), “So by your Lord,” and He swears by His attributes. And among His attributes is speech, and the Qur’an is part of His speech, Exalted is He. So distinguish between this and swearing by the creations. You must be mindful of this. Yes.
