The Cosmic Speech of Allah and His Legislative Speech

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the cosmic speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) greater than the legislative speech?

Answer:
Allah knows best. The speech of Allah is infinite.
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ
[Al-Kahf 18:109]
... what is exhausted. Even if what
upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allahفِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
[Luqman 31:27]
is the cosmic speech and His legislative speech.
