The Existence of the Speech of Allah, the Antiquity of Its Type, and the Occurrence of Its Instances

Question:
And his saying, "Allah informs you," what is the meaning of the scholars' saying that revelation is only for Allah the Exalted? Because it is all uncreated, and his saying that it is also uncreated, not fabricated, and not needing, are these words interchangeable, or are they different?

Answer:
This is a correct premise. The speech of Allah is existent; this is what I have not seen anyone deny. It exists, yes, it is speech that exists without doubt. But the expression of "existence" as the opposite of "non-existence," I do not know this expression at all. And saying it is "occurred" or "created," this is a false statement. Rather, the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is ancient in its type and occurred in its instances. It occurs and renews as He wills, Blessed and Exalted is He. He spoke in the eternal past, He spoke to His Messenger, He spoke to Musa (peace be upon him), He spoke to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and He will speak to the believers on the Day of Resurrection. So it occurs whenever Allah the Exalted wills.
