Ruling on saying: The Qur'an is a symphony or a piece of music
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your ruling, Your Eminence, on one who says: The Qur'an is a divine symphony, or a piece of music, as they express it?
Answer:
As for the symphony, I do not know what a symphony is. As for a piece of music, this is a denunciation and an invalid statement. It is not of music, nor does it have anything to do with music. Rather, it is the speech of Allah, which is the best of speech, the most beautiful of speech, and the best of stories. I see that the one who says this—Allah knows best—is an apostate; because this is a disparagement of the Qur'an and a defect attributed to it. As for the symphony, I do not know what a symphony is.
