Likening the sound of revelation to a chain on a rock and seeing the Lord
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is like a chain on a rock: is it said that he likened the heard to the heard, or how is that?
The Shaykh:
He likened the sound of the revelation or the sound of Jibril (peace be upon him), and not the speech of Allah. He did not liken the speech of Allah. He only likened the revelation that the people of the heavens hear. As for the speech of Allah, no one knows its return or its manner except Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The presenter:
We are pleased with the matter, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Like the saying that you see your Lord as you see the moon. Where does the sun set? Your conditions? They come to this. This is a likeness of the vision, that is, the vision, and not a likeness of the Lord.
