Explanation of Ibn al-Qayyim's Alfiyyah-09a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: " that He, the Exalted, *** is the Speaker through the revelation and the criterion
And He has informed us that His Book *** is in the breasts of the people of knowledge and faith
And He has informed us that it is written in *** purified pages from the Most Merciful
And He has informed us that it is recited and read *** when a human being recites it
And all of it is one thing, not that *** it is four and three and two
And the recitation of the Qur'an is our actions *** and so is the writing, for it is the writing of our hands
But the recited and the written *** and the preserved is the speech of the One, the Most Merciful
And the servant recites it with a good voice *** and its opposite, so for him there are two voices
And so he writes it with good handwriting *** and its opposite, so for him there are two handwritings
Our voices and our ink and our performance *** and the parchment "
The Shaykh : The parchment
The reader: " Our voices and our ink and our performance *** and the parchment, then the writing of the Qur'an
And indeed, in his composition, one who spoke the *** truth and justice, not a coward, said
That which is fixed in the mushafs *** by the fingers "
The Shaykh : ...
The reader: That which is in the mushafs
The Shaykh : in the mushafs is fixed
The reader: " That which is in the mushafs is fixed *** by the fingers of the elders and the young
is the speech of my Lord, its verses and its letters *** and our ink and the parchment are two created things "
The Shaykh : The parchment,[At-Tur 52:3]. The parchment is the servant, yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Wrong, wrong.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What is in it?
The student: The phrase "the truth" is missing
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning it is missing, there is a lacuna, I don't have it attached in my copy.
The reader: " is the speech of my Lord "
The Shaykh : Attach it, attach it, yes.
The reader: " is the speech of my Lord, its verses and its letters *** and our ink and the parchment are two created things
So he healed and distinguished between the recited and the made *** and that is the reality of gnosis
And all of it is created, and it is not that His *** recited speech is created; here are two things
So you must detail and distinguish, for the *** generalization and the summary without explanation "

In parchment spread open
