(Explanation of the three categories of the Mu'tazilah regarding the Qur'an: the first view is that it is created, which is the position of the Mu'tazilah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And it has passed through their mouths, their saying: *** What is between us and Allah of a Qur'an
What is between us is only the report of it and the expression: *** That is an expression with the tongue"
The Mu'tazilah who deny the speech of Allah are divided into three categories: a group said that it is created; another group said that it is not created, but what is in the mushaf is an expression of it; and a third group said that it is not created, and what is in the mushaf is a report of it. So the "expression" is the view of the Asha'irah, the "report" is the view of the Kalbites, and the first view is the view of the Mu'tazilah who say that the Qur'an is created, not attributed to Allah as one of His attributes, but attributed to Him as a creation among His creations, just as the she-camel and the house are attributed to Allah. Did you understand? Good.
Let us look now: this Qur'an, according to the Mu'tazilah, is created, but it is the speech of Allah.
According to the Asha'irah, it is created and is not the speech of Allah, but it is an expression of it.
And according to the Kalbites, it is created and is not the speech of Allah, but it is a report of it.
And by this we know that, from this aspect, the Mu'tazilah are better than the Asha'irah and the Kalbites. Yes. He said, may Allah have mercy on him:
"This, and the reciters are not workers by it, *** for they have been content with the saying of so-and-so"
Meaning: the meaning of his words.
