The Evidence That the Speech of Allah Is Not Created
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, we cite as evidence the hadith: “I seek refuge in the word of Allah.” He is being modest in this matter as well.
The Shaykh : First, this is the position of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Imam Ahmad: that the speech of Allah is not created. This is because it is not permissible to seek refuge in anything other than the Creator. How are you?
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : Fine, if Allah wills.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Good evening.
