The statement that the speech of Allah is ancient and eternal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on the statement that the speech of Allah the Exalted is ancient and eternal?

Answer:
The type of speech is ancient, but its individual instances are created,
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Mercifulوَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:5]
, meaning their descent is created; Allah spoke with them. So the type of speech is ancient, but its individual instances and types are created.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
