Allah’s Cosmic Speech and His Legislative Speech
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is Allah’s cosmic speech greater than His legislative speech?
Answer:
Allah is the Greatest. Allah’s speech is infinite. Say: “If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord are exhausted, even if We were to bring the like thereof to its aid.” And if every tree on earth were a pen, and the sea were ink, replenished seven times thereafter, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Allah’s verbal speech, and His legislative speech, are inexhaustible.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
