The statement that the recitation of the Qur'an is created

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is the statement of some people that the Qur'an and its words are the speech of Allah, but our recitation of the Qur'an is created, correct?

Answer:
You took this from the *Nuniyyah*. The writing, the paper, the mushaf, and the voice of the reciter are all created things, but what is recited is the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the recitation, it is the action of the reciter. Therefore, the recitation varies: a beautiful voice and an unattractive voice, a recitation with good tajwid and a recitation without good tajwid. The recitation is the action of the created being, while what is recited is the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). For this reason, they say: "The Qur'an is the speech of the Creator, and the recitation is the voice of the reciter."

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
