📚 Lum'atu'l-I'tiqaad (Sufficiency in Creed)

❐ By : Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (D 620 H)
❐ Part - 6

💠The Qur'an is the Speech of Allah (azza wajal - the Mighty the Sublime) 💠

❐ 26- From the speech of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala), is the Glorious Qur'an. It is the clear Book of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His firm rope. It is His straight path and the revelation of the Lord of the universe. The most honorable spirit (i.e., Jibril) descended with it to the heart of the best of Messengers, in a clear Arabic language. It was revealed and not created[16] . From Him it began and to Him it will return[17].

❐ 27- It consists of decisive chapters, clear ayahs, letters and words. Whosoever recites it and does so properly (with Iraab), he will have ten good deeds for every letter he recites, the first and last of them."[⭕️18]

💢It (also) consists of sections and parts. It is that which is recited by the tongues, safeguarded by the breasts, listened to by the ears, and recorded in scriptures. In it are verses that are clear and unclear, abrogated and abrogating, specific and general, as well as obligating and prohibiting.

❐ "Falsehood can not approach it from before it or behind it; (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allah)." [Fussilat 41/42];

❐ "Say: If mankind and jinn were to gather together to produce the likes of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another." [al-Isra 17/88]

❐ 28- It is the Arabic Book, of which the disbelievers said concerning it:

❐ "We will never believe in this Qur'an." [as-Saba 34/31] ; •

❐ And some of them said: This is nothing but the word of a human being." [al-Muddaththir 74/25] ;

❐ So Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said: "I will cast him into the Hellfire." [al-Muddaththir 74/26]

🍃Some of them said that it was poetry, so Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said:

❐ "And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry nor is it suitable for him. This is only a reminder and a plain Qur'an." [Ya-Sin 36/69]

🔰Thus, when Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) denies that it is poetry and He confirms that it is a Qur'an, there should not remain any doubt for the one possessing intellect, that the Qur'an is that Arabic Book which is composed of words, letters and verses. This is because if it were not so, then they (disbelievers) would not have claimed that it was poetry.

❐ 29- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says: "And if you (disbelievers) are in doubt concerning what We have sent down (i.e. Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a chapter of the like thereof and call your witnesses besides Allah." [al-Baqarah 2/23]

💢It is not likely for Him to challenge them with producing something that is neither known nor able to be understood.

❐ 30- Allah (azza wajal - the Mighty the Sublime) says: "And when Our clear verses are recited unto them, those who hope not for their meeting with Us, say: Bring us a Qur'an other than this, or change it. Say (O Muhammad): It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is revealed unto me."
[Yunus 10/55]

This confirms that the Qur'an is (made of) ayahs, which are recited upon them.

❐ 31- Allah (azza wajal - the Mighty the Sublime) says: "Nay, but they, the clear ayat (i.e., the description and the qualities of the Prophet Muhammad written in the Tawrah and the Injil) are preserved in the breasts of those who have been given knowledge (among the people of the Scriptures)." [al-Ankabut 29/49]

❐ And He (azza wajal) says, after having sworn upon that: "That (this) is indeed an honorable recitation (the Noble Qur'an). In a Book well guarded (al-Lawh-ul-Mahfudh). Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e., the angels)." [al-Waqi'ah 56/77-79]

❐ 32- And Allah (azza wajal) says: "Kaf-Ha-Ya-Ayn-Sad." [Maryam 19/1] ;

❐ "Ha-Mim. Ayn-Sin-Qaf." [ash-Shura 42/1]

⭕️He commences twenty-nine chapters with divided Idler.
