Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it possible to say that Jibril (peace be upon him) is considered the Kalim of Allah?

Answer:
The Kalim is Musa (peace be upon him). The Kalim is Musa. Allah speaks to His servants. He spoke to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night of the Mi'raj, but this title is not used for anyone except Musa (peace be upon him). He is the one whom Allah distinguished by speaking to him directly, without Jibril as an intermediary. He used to speak to him, and he spoke to him throughout his entire mission. So he is the Kalim of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), distinguished by this,
Among them were those to whom Allah spokeمِّنْهُم مَّن كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:253]
and he is Musa (peace be upon him).
