The statement of one who likens the verses of the Qur'an to music and melodies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who says that the verses of the Qur'an are like music, and like melodies?
Answer:
I do not think, if Allah wills, that anyone says this. But some of them say that the verses of the Qur'an have a musical tone, meaning that they have a resonance, meaning that they are pleasant; that the words of the Qur'an are pleasant and the ears delight in them. That is his intention, but he expressed it poorly. Had he not used that expression, it would have been sufficient for him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
