What is the ruling on a language teacher who says regarding the statement of Allah the Exalted:
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I say: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. We have a language teacher who says: That the statement of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: is permissible from a linguistic standpoint to say: "And the command of your Lord came" We do not intend it as creed; we intend clarifying the modifier and the modified. So what is your opinion, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Our statement is: This is a mistake, a mistake on his part. This is a mistake on his part. If you say that the meaning of in the language is "And the command of your Lord came," you have lied about the language, because the language assigns the status of the doer to the verb.
So if it is said in the language "So-and-so came," the intended meaning is that he himself came. Likewise, when Allah the Exalted said about Himself: the meaning is that He Himself came, and the meaning is not that His command came.
So what he said is a lie about the Arabic language, and it is not permissible to approve of it. And what I know from Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University is that this was affirmed by Ibn Aqil (may Allah have mercy on him), who explained the Alfiyyah. They commented on it, or they alerted the professors to clarify that this is an error. Yes.
And your Lord came
