Describing Allah as having a tongue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: In the book *Introduction to the Study of the Noble Qur'an* by Dr. Muhammad ibn Muhammad Abu Shuhbah (may Allah have mercy on him) (p. 98), the following text appears: “They are verses that came on the tongue of the Exalted, the Glorified.” Is this phrase permissible in the expression “on the tongue of the Exalted,” if we say this about Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
A: There is no harm in describing Allah the Exalted as al-Haqq (The Truth), for Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hajj 22:6], and Allah the Exalted said: [An-Nur 24:25]. As for attributing a tongue to Allah, it has not come in the Book of Allah nor in the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so Allah is not described with it; because the names and attributes of Allah are based on revelation.
A: There is no harm in describing Allah the Exalted as al-Haqq (The Truth), for Allah the Exalted said:
That is because Allah is the Truth
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّand they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect in justice.
وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ
