How to reconcile the fact that the speech of Allah does not resemble the speech of creation with the fact that Allah revealed the Qur'an in our language?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... between the fact that the speech of Allah does not resemble the speech of creation and the fact that Allah revealed the Qur'an in our language. If it were not our language, we would not have understood it. Likewise, Allah spoke to Musa in his language. The people of the Sunnah and the community also said that Allah speaks as He wills, that Allah willed a manner, and that Allah willed the manner of the speech of creation, so He spoke in it. The letters are the letters; He speaks with letters, but the attribute of speech is what does not resemble the speech of creation. For example, we are speaking now, and our speech differs. This one's speech is strong, loud, and high-pitched, while this one's speech is as if he is speaking to you in a whisper. The intended meaning is the speech itself, whereas the letters are just the letters.
