The Meaning of the Poet's Statement Regarding the Qur'an: "And Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it as a revelation." And Mentioning the Disagreement on Whether the Speech of Allah Is Created or Not
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, he says: "And Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it as a revelation, and that these , and , and , and , and are the very speech of Allah in reality", and so on. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) repeated this because people have disagreed regarding this Qur'an. The Jahmiyyah said that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, revealed, but it is created and attributed to Allah by way of honor; so its attribution is an attribution of honor and creation, not an attribution of an attribute to its possessor. The Asha'irah said that the Qur'an is an expression of the speech of Allah, which Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created to express what is in His self. In reality, they have met with the Mu'tazilah in what they held. Yes, indeed, the Mu'tazilah may be better than them in some respects, because the Mu'tazilah say: What is this that is in our hands in the mushaf? Is it truly the speech of Allah? Those [the Asha'irah] say it is not the speech of Allah, but an expression of the speech of Allah. All of them have agreed that what is in our hands in the mushaf is created. But the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah said it is the speech of Allah, while those [the Asha'irah] said it is an expression of the speech of Allah. This is because among the false principles of the Asha'irah is the belief that speech is the meaning that subsists in the self, and is not the letters and the sound. They said that it is impossible for Allah to speak with letters and sound. So look at how they contradicted the language and judged Allah the Exalted with their corrupt minds.
The monotheist: We are now in the position of a debate between what? Between a denier of the divine attributes and an affirmator. This is the view of the denier, correct? This is the view of the affirmator regarding the speech of Allah. Yes.
