Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Do the Asha'irah say that the Qur'an that is in our hands is created, while the meaning is not created?
Answer:
No, they say that the Qur'an that is in our hands is a report of the speech of Allah. The speech of Allah is the mental speech, the mental speech that subsists with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and this is an expression of that mental speech or a report of it, and this is also a false statement. It is close to the statement of the Mu'tazilah that it is created. Yes.
