Is it correct to say that the words of the Qur'an are created or uncreated? And the meaning of the poet's statement: "So you must proceed with detail and distinction."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, if someone were to ask: Are the words of the Qur'an created? Huh? It requires detail. If you mean the words as uttered, they are uncreated. If you mean the words as your act of uttering them, they are created. We said the first because "words" (lafzi) is a verbal noun, and a verbal noun can mean its object or the act of doing. So if "words" means "what is uttered," it is uncreated. If "words" means "my uttering," it is created. He said:
"So you must proceed with detail and distinction *** For generalization and vagueness, without clarification,
Have corrupted this existence and confused *** The minds and opinions in every age"
(may Allah have mercy on him), yes, sometimes generalization and vagueness corrupt things.
"So you must proceed with detail and distinction *** For generalization and vagueness, without clarification,
Have corrupted this existence and confused *** The minds and opinions in every age"
(may Allah have mercy on him), yes, sometimes generalization and vagueness corrupt things.
