Does our saying that Allah speaks with letters necessitate likening Him to creation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: O Shaykh, you mentioned that the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that Allah speaks with letters and sound, and that the letters are of the same kind as the letters used by people.
The Shaykh : The letters that people speak with, yes.
The student: ...that this is likening Him to creation.
The Shaykh : No, it is not likening Him to creation, because these letters are not an attribute of Allah. The attribute of Allah is the sound, whereas the letters are merely uttered and are not... there is no likening Him to creation.
