Then He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Qasas 28:30] In this verse, there is the affirmation of the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), because Who is the one being called? It is Allah, as He, the Exalted, said in another verse: [An-Nazi'at 79:16].
And among its points is that the speech of Allah, the Exalted, is with a voice, as He said: And calling out is done with a voice to the distant one, and intimate conversation is with a voice to the near one.
And among its points is the refutation of the Asha'irah, who say: "The speech of Allah is the meaning that subsists in His Self." And there is no doubt that a meaning subsisting in the Self is not called speech, and the speech of Allah, the Exalted, is not heard.
And among its points is also the refutation of the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah, who say: "The speech of Allah is created." The point of this is that it is established that ... and the call is a voice, and speech is not taken except from a speaker, so the speech is the speech of Allah. And every attribute among the attributes of Allah is not created, because it is a description ... He is described with it. So if it is a description of the Creator, it is not created. And in the verse, there is a refutation of both groups: the Ash'ari and the Mu'tazili.
And among its points is also that ... is blessed ... as He said:[Al-Qasas 28:30] Who is the blessing here for? For Musa ... as the author said.
And among its points is also the affirmation that the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is with letters, from His saying:[Al-Qasas 28:30] Because are sentences composed of letters. And in this, there is a refutation of whom? The Asha'irah, because they said: "Speech is the subsisting meaning." So when I ... this implied [word] is the action, and what is heard is not the speech itself, but an expression of the speech ... The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 8:133 So he clarified that speech is not the talk of the mind. Clear, good.
And among its points is the affirmation of the lordship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), as He said:[Al-Qasas 28:30] ... What is the reconciliation between this verse and what came in many verses ... lordship ... is divided into two types: general and specific, just as servitude is also divided into two types: general and specific, like His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Hijr 15:42] Is this from the general or from the specific?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : .. General?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The exception ... so it becomes specific, but it is established that if ..... [Maryam 19:93] General?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Good,[Al-Furqan 25:63] this is specific.
[Al-Qasas 28:30-31]

A call came
