Rather, the speech of the Lord of mankind is not a reality *** in what you possess, O you who possess knowledge (Their claim that the Qur'an is created and the difference between the Asha'irah and the Jahmiyyah in this regard)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Rather, the speech of the Lord of mankind is not a reality *** in what you possess, O you who possess knowledge"
The speech of the Lord of mankind means the Qur'an. It is not a reality [in the sense of being an eternal attribute], because the Jahmiyyah say that the Qur'an is created and distinct from Allah, and the Asha'irah say: The Qur'an is created, and the speech of Allah is the meaning that subsists in His own self. Thus, all of them agreed that what is between the covers of the Qur'an is created, but the Jahmiyyah said: It is the speech of Allah, and the Asha'irah said: It is an expression of the speech of Allah.
