Explanation of the author's statement: "And the meaning of their saying: 'From Him it began' is that Allah spoke with it in the beginning, and in it is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah who claim that He created it in another."

The Shaykh :"And the meaning of their saying: 'From Him it began,' is that Allah spoke with it in the beginning, and in it is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah who claim that He created it in another. As for their saying: 'And to Him it returns,' it carries two possible meanings: The first is that the attribute of speech with the Qur'an returns to Him, meaning that no one is described as having spoken with it other than Allah, because He is the One who spoke with it, and speech is an attribute of the One who speaks".
So to Him it returns as an attribute by which no other is described.
"And it carries another possible meaning: that it is raised to Allah the Exalted, as came in some reports that it is withdrawn from the mushafs and the chests, and that only occurs, and Allah knows best, when people turn away from acting upon the Qur'an completely, so it is raised from them as an honor for it, and Allah is the Helper".
... and the Qur'an is a thing, so it must be created, and we refuted them by saying: then Allah is created because He is a thing, yes, and we clarified that "every thing" can be intended to mean specifically, meaning: every thing other than Him, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: But perhaps you were not present?
The student : No, I was present, ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : And "made" is used in the sense of "created."

The Shaykh : No, this is a doubt that is not valid; this is the strongest argument they use. As for "We made it an Arabic Qur'an," its meaning is that We revealed it in the language of the Arabs; the second verse explains it: Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
