Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the meaning of the statement of the people of the Sunnah (may Allah have mercy on them) that the Qur'an is ancient in type but occasional in instances?
Answer:
They said, the Qur'an, my brother, they say it is the speech of Allah. The speech of Allah is ancient in type but occasional in instances. As for the Qur'an, they do not say it is ancient; they say it is occasional.[Al-Anbya 21:2] So the Qur'an is among the instances of the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), among the instances of the speech of Allah, and among the individual instances of the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but the type is ancient, meaning that Allah is described as speaking from eternity. Yes.

May Allah reward you
