Explanation of al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyya – Lesson 46

Lesson 46:[THE OBLIGATION OF BELIEF THAT THE QURAN IS THE SPEECH OF ALLAH IN REALITY]Imaan in Allah and His Books entails the belief that the Quran is Allah's Speech, it is revealed (by Him) and is not created. From Him it came and to Him it shall return. Allah spoke it in reality; this Quran which He revealed to Muhammad ﷺ is the speech of Allah, in reality. It is not the speech of another.It is not permissible to state that it is an account of the speech of Allah or an expression of it. Indeed, even when people recite it or write it in books, it still does not cease to be the literal speech of Allah, Most High. This is because speech, in its real sense, is attributed to the one who originally uttered it, not to the one who said it by transmitting and conveying it from Him.It is the speech of Allah in its words and its meaning. The speech of Allah is not words without meanings nor meanings without words. Lesson Notes: ⁠⁠sc.isb.org.au/aw-nts⁠Lesson Date: 05/06/2024
