00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,640
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,640
The attribute of Speech belonging to Allah the Exalted.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,980
Affirming the attribute of Speech for Allah the Exalted.

4
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:19,980
This is part of affirming the Names and Attributes of Him, glorified be He.

5
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:22,980
Just as it is also part of believing in the Divine Books.

6
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:24,980
And offering sincere counsel regarding them.

7
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:28,980
For Allah, glorified be He, has affirmed Speech for Himself.

8
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:30,980
As the Exalted has said:

9
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:33,979
“And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses;” (4:164)

10
00:00:33,979 --> 00:00:35,979
And the Exalted has said:

11
00:00:35,979 --> 00:00:41,979
“And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had spoken unto him, he said: My Lord! Show me (Thy Self), that I may gaze upon Thee. He said: Thou wilt not see Me, but gaze upon the mountain! If it stand still in its place, then thou wilt see Me. And when his Lord revealed (His) glory to the mountain He sent it crashing down. And Moses fell down senseless. And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers.” (7:143)

12
00:00:41,979 --> 00:00:47,020
The Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah are in agreement that the Qur'an is the Speech of Allah.

13
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:51,020
Which He spoke and revealed to His Messenger, peace be upon him.

14
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:54,020
And that it is uncreated.

15
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:58,020
Whoever recites it, recites it with his own voice.

16
00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:00,020
For the speech is the speech of the Creator.

17
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:02,020
And the voice is the voice of the reciter.

18
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:06,019
That with which Allah spoke to Musa, peace be upon him, is real speech.

19
00:01:06,019 --> 00:01:11,019
Musa heard it with his own ears, in the very voice with which he heard it.
