Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, in the previous lesson you mentioned that the Qur'an is from the speech, not from the preserved words, let alone from the Jahmiyyah, and you clarified that for him, so we would like you to clarify an issue from it.
Answer:
Yes, the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, from whom it originated, Glorified and Exalted is He. Allah spoke it, then He wrote it in the Preserved Tablet after He spoke it, Glorified and Exalted is He. So the Qur'an is from Allah, not from the famous tablet. The tablet does not speak. The one who spoke in it is the light of Allah, whereas the tablet is where the Qur'an is written.[Az-Zukhruf 43:4]. It is [Al-Buruj 85:21-22]. [Al-Waqi'ah 56:78-79], and the hidden book is the Preserved Tablet, and the purified ones are the angels. Yes.

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.
وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ(21) But this is an honored Qur'an (22) [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ(78) In a Register well-protected; (79) None touch it except the purified.
فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
