💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 10
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥Iman :

62- Belief consists of affirmation lay the tongue and acceptance by the heart.

Sunnah :

63- And the whole of what is proven from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) regarding the Shari'ah and the explanation (of the Qur'an and of Islam) is true.

64- Belief is, at base, the same for everyone, but the superiority of some over others in it is due to their fear and awareness of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , their opposition to their desires, and their choosing what is more pleasing to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

Awliya of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) :

65- All the believers are 'friends' of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the noblest of them in the sight of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) are those who are the most obedient and who most closely follow the Qur'an.

Articles of Iman :

66- Belief consists of belief in Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and belief that the Decree -both the good of it and the evil of it, the sweet of it and the bitter or it- is all from Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 11
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥Messengers :

67- We believe in all these things. We do not make any distinction between any of the messengers, we accept as true what all of them brought.

68- Those of the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) who have committed grave sins {except committing shirk} will be in the Fire, but not forever, provided they die and meet Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as believers affirming His unity even if they have not repented.

They are subject to His will and judgment. If He wants, He will forgive them and pardon them out of His generosity {if they didn't commit shirt} , as is mentioned in the Qur'an when He (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:

"And He forgives anything less than that (shirk) to whoever He wills." [an-Nisa 4/116] ;

and if He wants, He will punish them in the Fire out of His justice and then bring them out of the Fire through His mercy, and for the intercession of those who were obedient to Him, and send them to the Garden.

This is because Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is the Protector of those who recognize Him and will not treat them in the Next World in the same way as He treats those who deny Him and who are bereft of His guidance and have failed to obtain His protection.

O Allah, You are the Protector of Islam and its people; make us firm in Islam until the day we meet You.

Prayer behind Ahl Qiblah :

69- We agree with doing the prayer behind any of the people of the qiblah {as long as they are upon tawhid and not associating partners with Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala)} whether right-acting or wrong-acting, and doing the funeral prayer over any of them when they die.

70- We do not say that any of them will categorically go to either the Garden or the Fire, and we do not accuse any of them of kufr (disbelief), shirk (associating partners with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala), or nifaq (hypocrisy), as long as they have not openly demonstrated any of those things. We leave their secrets to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) .

71- We do not agree with killing any of the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) unless it is obligatory by Shari'ah to do so.

💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 12
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

♨️ Rebelling against the Muslim Ruler (Khalif) :

72- We do not recognize rebellion against our Imam or those in charge of our affairs even if they are unjust, nor do we wish evil on them, nor do we withdraw from following them. We hold that obedience to them is part of obedience to Allah (jalla jalaluhu) and therefore obligatory as long as they do not order to commit sins. We pray for them right guidance and pardon from their wrongs.

Ahlu's-sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah :

73- We follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and the jamaa'ah of the Muslims, and avoid deviation, differences and divisions.

74- We love the people of justice and trustworthiness, and hate the people of injustice and treachery.

75- When our knowledge about something is unclear, we say: "Allah knows best."

Wiping over the khuffs :

76- We agree with wiping over leather socks (in wudu) whether on a journey or otherwise, just as has come in the (consistent and confirmed) ahadith.

77- Hajj and Jihaad under the leadership of those in charge of the Muslims (khalif) , whether they are right or wrong-acting, are continuing obligations until the Last Hour comes. Nothing can annul or controvert them.

Kiraman Katibin :

78- We believe in Kiraman Katibin (the noble angels) who write down our actions for Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has appointed them over us as two guardians.

Malak al-Mawt :

79- We believe in the Angel of Death who is charged with taking the spirits of all the worlds.

the punishment in the grave :

80- We believe in the punishment in the grave for those who deserve it, and in the questioning in the grave by Munkar and Nakir about one's Lord, one's religion and one's prophet, as has come down in ahadith from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and in reports from the Companions (Rady'Allahu Anhu azmain).

81- The grave is either one of the meadows of the Garden or one of the pits of the Fire

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 13
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💢Resurrection :

82- We believe in being brought back to life after death and in being recompensed for our actions on the Day of Judgment, and al-Ard, having been shown them and al-Hisab, brought to account for them. And Qira'at al-Kitaab, reading the book, and the reward or punishments and in al-Sirat (the Bridge) and al-Mizan (the Balance).

83- The Garden and the Fire are created things that never come to an end and we believe that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) created them before the rest of creation and then created people to inhabit each of them. Whoever He wills goes to the Garden out of His Bounty and whoever He wills goes to the Fire through His justice. Everybody acts in accordance with what is destined for him and goes towards what he has been created for.

84- Good and evil have both been decreed for people.

Tawfiq :

85- The capability in terms of Tawfiq (Divine Grace and Favour) which makes an action certain to occur cannot be ascribed to a created being. This capability is integral with action, whereas the capability of an action in terms of having the necessary health, and ability, being in a position to act and having the necessary means, exists in a person before the action. It is this type of capability which is the object of the dictates of Shari'ah. Allah (jalla jalaluhu) says:

"Allah does not charge a person except according to his ability." [al-Baqarah 2/286]

Responsibility :

86- People's actions are created by Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) but earned by people

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #Aqidah
💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 14
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥La hawla wala quwwata illa billah :

87- Allah (jalla jalaluhu) has only charged people with what they are able to do and people are only capable to do what Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has favored them. This is the explanation of the phrase:

"There is no power and no strength except by Allah."

We add to this that there is no stratagem or way by which anyone can avoid or escape disobedience to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) except with Allah's help; nor does anyone have the strength to put obedience to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) into practice and remain firm in it, except if Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) makes it possible for them to do so.

The will of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) :

88- Everything happens according to Allah's will, knowledge, predestination and decree. His will overpowers all other wills and His decree overpowers all stratagems. He does whatever He wills and He is never unjust. He is exalted in His purity above any evil or perdition and He is perfect far beyond any fault or flaw.

"He will not be asked about what He does but they will he asked." [al-Anbiya 21/23]

Ahl Qubur :

89- There is benefit for dead people in the supplication and alms-giving of the living.

90- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) responds to people's supplications and gives them what they ask for.

91- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has absolute control over everything and nothing has any control over Him. Nothing can be independent of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) even for the blinking of an eye, and whoever considers himself independent of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) for the blinking of an eye is guilty of unbelief and becomes one of the people of perdition.

💠Aqidah -The Islamic Belief - Part - 15
🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💢Anger and Pleasure of Allah (azza wajal)

92- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is angered and can be pleased but not in the same way as any creature.

Sahabah (Rady'Allahu Anhu azmain) :

93- We love the Companions of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) but we do not go to excess in our love for any one individual among them nor do we disown any one of them. We hate anyone who hates them or does not speak well of them and we only speak well of them. Love of them is a part of Islam, part of belief and part of excellent behavior, while hatred of them is unbelief, hypocrisy and rebelliousness.

Khulafa ar-Rashidin :

94- We confirm that, after the death of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) the caliphate went first to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (Rady'Allahu Anhu) thus proving his excellence and superiority over the rest of the Muslims; then to Umar ibn al Khattab (Rady'Allahu Anhu); then to Uthman (ra); and then to Ali ibn Abi Talib (Rady'Allahu Anhu). These are the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and upright leaders.

Ashara-i Mubashhara :

95- We bear witness that the ten who were named by RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and who were promised the Garden by him, will be in the Garden, as RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) whose word is truth, bore witness that they would he. The ten are:

Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Umar (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Uthman (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Ali (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Talhah (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Zubayr (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Sa'd (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Sa'ed (Rady'Allahu Anhu), Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Awf (Rady'Allahu Anhu) and Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah (Rady'Allahu Anhu) whose title was the trustee of this Ummah.

96- Anyone who speaks well of the Companions of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and his wives and offspring, who are all pure and untainted by any impurity, is free from the accusation of hypocrisy.

🔰Imam Abu Ja'far Tahawi

💥Salafu's-Saalih :

97- The learned men of the first community and those who followed in their footsteps -the people of virtue, the narrators of the Ahadith, the jurists and analysts- they must only be spoken about in the best way and anyone who says anything bad about them is not on the right path.

Messengers and the Awliya of Allah :

98- We do not prefer any of the saintly men among the Ummah over any of the Prophets but rather we say that any one of the Prophets is better than all the awliya put together.

Karamat :

99- We believe in what we know of Karamat, the marvels of the awliya and in authentic stories about them from trustworthy sources.

The Signs of the Hour :

100- We believe in the signs of the Hour such as the appearance of the Dajjal and the descent of Isa ibn Maryam (Alaihe wa sallam) from heaven and we believe in the rising of the sun from where it sets and in the emergence of the Beast from the earth.

Magicians :

101- We do not accept as true what soothsayers and fortune-tellers say, nor do we accept the claims of those who affirm anything which goes against the Book, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslim Ummah.

the Reward and the Punishment :

102- We agree that holding together is the true and right path and that separation is deviation and torment.

Islam :

103- There is only one religion of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) in the heavens and the earth and that is the religion of Islam. Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:

"Surely religion in the sight of Allah is Islam." [Al-i Imran 3/19]

And He (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) also says:

"I am pleased with Islam as a religion for you." [al-Maidah 5/3]

104- Islam lies between going to excess and falling short, between Tashbih (likening of Allah's attributes to anything else), and Ta'til (denying Allah's attributes), between fatalism and refusing decree as proceeding from Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and between certainty (without being conscious of Allah's reckoning) and despair (of Allah's mercy).

105- This is our religion and it is what we believe in, both inwardly and outwardly, and we renounce any connection, before Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , with anyone who goes against what we have said and made clear.

We ask Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) to make us firm in our belief and seal our lives with it and to protect us from variant ideas, scattering opinions and evil schools of view such as those of the Mushabbihah, the Mu'tazilah, the Jahmiyyah the Jabriyah, the Qadariyah and others like them who go against the Sunnah and Jamaa'ah and have allied themselves with error. We renounce any connection with them and in our opinion they are in error and on the path of destruction.

We ask Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) to protect us from all falsehood and we ask His Grace and Favour to do all good."

💠Aqidah of Muhammad ibn `Isa at-Tirmidhi

❖❐“Abu Hurayrah (Rady'Allahu Anhu) narrated that RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:

❖❐ Indeed Allah (azza wajal-the Mighty and Sublime) accepts charity, and He accepts it with His Right (Hand) to nurture it for one of you, just like one of you would nurture his foal, until the bite (of food) becomes as large as Uhud. The Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime testifies to that:

❖❐"He accepts repentance from His worshipers, and accepts charity." [at-Tawbah 9/104]

💠And:

❖❐"Allah will destroy ribaa and will give increase for charity." [al-Baqarah 2/276].”

❖❐ Abū ‘Īsá Muḥammad ibn ‛Īsá as-Sulamī aḍ-Ḍarīr at-Tirmidhī (d. 274H) narrated this hadith and then said:

❖❐"This hadith is (hasan) sahih. It has been reported from Aishah (Rady'Allahu Anha) from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) similarly. It has been stated by more than one person from the people of knowledge regarding this hadith, and about the likes of it from the narrations concerning the Attributes, and that Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, Descends to the lowest heaven of this world every night.

❖❐ They said: Affirm the narrations concerning them; have faith in them; do not imagine them (laa yatawahhamu); nor ask how they are (wa laa yuqaalu kayf). The likes of this has been reported from Malik ibn Anas, Sufyaan ibn Uyaynah and Abd-Allah ibn al-Mubaarak.

❖❐ They said concerning these ahadith: Leave them as they are, without asking how they are (amirruhaa bilaa kayf). This is the saying of the people of knowledge from Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah.

❖❐ As for the Jahmiyyah, then they reject these narrations and say that this is resemblance (tashbih). However, Allah the Most High has mentioned in various places in His Book (His Attribute of) Hand (al-Yad); Hearing (as-Sam) and Seeing (al-Basir), but the Jahmiyyah give a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) to these verses and explain it in a manner other than how it is explained by the people of knowledge.

❖❐ They say: Indeed, Allah did not create Adam (Alaihe wa sallam) with His Hand. They say: Indeed, the Hand (of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala) actually means His Power! Ishaq ibn Ibrahim said: Resemblance (tashbih) is when someone says the Hand (of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala) is like my hand, or His Hearing is like my hearing. So if someone says this, then this is resemblance.

❖❐ But if someone says what Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says, Hand, Hearing, Seeing; and he does not ask how these (Attributes) are, nor does he say that Allah's Hearing is like my hearing, then this is not resemblance. Rather, it just like what Allah the Most Blessed, the Most High, said in His Book:

❖❐"There is none like Him; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing." [ash-Shura 42/11] .”

[Jami Sunnan Tirmidhi, 3/266-268, # 662]

💢No deity except Allah; La-ilaha illallah"

💢as an Arab with the knowledge of his language understood it:

💢no sovereignty except Allah's,
💢no law except from Allah,
💢and no authority of one man over another,
💢as the authority in all respects belong to Allah.

The 'grouping' of men which Islam proclaims is based on this faith alone, the faith in which all peoples of any race or color-Arabs, Romans or Persians, are equal under the banner of Allah. And this is the way.
💠The Principles of Aqidah :

🔰Shaikhu'l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

❖❐"Everything which is in accord with the Book and the Authentic Sunnah is accepted by them and everything which is in opposition to it is treated as false by them. The first thing which distinguishes the Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah from all those besides them is the methodology with which they acquire their sciences (of the Din) and the source of the Truth from which they derive their beliefs, concepts, actions of worship, dealings (with the people), their mode of conduct and their manners.

❖❐ The source of Knowledge and Truth in all the various branches of knowledge with the Ahlu's-Sunnah is the Book of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). No words other than the words of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) come first and no guidance other than the guidance of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) comes first.

❖❐ There is no one who is free from making mistakes (in the Din) except RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). The Ahlu's-Sunnah do not regard anyone as being safe from error as regards the Din except RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

❖❐ The scholars are not free from making mistakes but rather the words of everyone can either be accepted or rejected except those of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). Therefore the words and statements of the scholars of the Ahlu's-Sunnah by necessity follow or are in accordance with the Sunnah of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and do not precede or go ahead of it.

❖❐ The Ijmaa (concensus) of the Salafu's-Saalih (Pious Predecessors) is regarded as a Shari'ah proof which is necessary to hold on to for those who come after them. And the Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah believe that the most knowledgeable of the creation as regards the Din of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) after RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) are the Companions (Rady'Allahu Anhum) and the Salafu's-Saalih.

❖❐ Whatever they united/agreed upon from any of the affairs or matters of the Din is free from being wrong and it is not (permissible) for anyone to leave it. Their Ijmaa is a Shari'ah proof which it is obligatory to hold on to for those who come after them. All those who stick to their Ijmaa are (therefore) those who adhere strictly to their Jamaa'ah (group).

❖❐ They do not accept or affirm any speech or Ijtihaad (Jurisprudence) except after having thrown it against these three sources: The Book, the Authentic Sunnah and Ijmaa of the Salaf.

❖❐ The Ahlu's-Sunnah hold on to the (Sunnah) which RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) came with and adhere to the (Jamaa'ah) of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and they are the Companions (Rady'Allahu Anhum) and whoever follows their way and adopts their methodology.

❖❐ They do not accept any ijtihaad or any speech regardless of whom it comes from except after having referred it to the Book, the Authentic Sunnah and the Ijmaa of the Salaf.

❖❐ They do not contradict the Qur'an or the Sunnah with their Aql (Intellect) or opinions or analogies. And (therefore) the Ahlu's-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah do not rely upon, follow or cling except to the knowledge and the practice of the Salafu's-Saalih and whoever takes from them, sticks to their jamaa'ah and travels upon their trail and binds (and restricts) himself to their principles/foundations.

❖❐ And this is because the Companions (Rady'Allahu Anhum) learnt the Tafsir (explanation) of the Qur'an and the Ahadith from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), then taught it to the Taabi'in but did not put themselves before Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) with an opinion, ones taste, ones intellect, sudden enlightenment (like that of the sufis) or other such things.

❖❐ The Jamaa'ah (The Group that is united upon the Truth, which the Messenger came with, in terms of speech and action) is the means of Deliverance in this life and in the Hereafter.
❖❐ The Ahlu's-Sunnah therefore, hold fast to the Jamaa'ah of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) turning away from the places of separation and difference, clinging tightly to the totality of the Book, the Sunnah and Ijmaa (unanimous agreement of the companions), whilst being far from the places of obscurity and unclarity (in the Book and the Sunnah) which separates and divides the united. And (this is because) the Jamaa'ah in (their estimation) is the means of Deliverance in this life and the Hereafter.

❖❐ They do not make obligatory the acquaintance with a particular type of knowledge upon he who is incapable and which is befitting for the capable person only. And the Ahlu's-Sunnah believe in what RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) came with in its entirety, however, they differentiate between the one who is capable and the one who is not with regards to knowing what RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) came with in a detailed way. And this is a mighty principle: many trials have befallen (the Ummah) due to absence of its understanding.

❖❐ Peace and Blessings upon RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) , upon his Companions (Rady'Allahu Anhum ) and all those who follow in their footsteps until the Day of Resurrection."

☝️ The asluddin is to take it only from Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala)

💠When describing asluddeen Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahu'Allah) states:

☝️"Asluddeen is the acceptance that there is no other waajib from what Allah (azza wajal) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees waajib,

☝️ there is no other haraam from what Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees haraam,

☝️ there is no other makruh from what Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees makruh,

☝️ there is no other halaal from what Allah (azza wajal) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees halaal and there is no other mubah (neutral) from what Allah (azza wajal) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees mustahab (favored).

☝️ halaal is what Allah (azza wajal) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees halaal and haraam is what Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) sees haraam.

☝️ Deen is the laws Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) have put forward.

♨️For this reason Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) had condemned the mushrik and others for making halaal, considering haraam and the things like regulation they reveal among themselves in deen without His consent.

[fatawa 29/345]
💢Al-Fiqh al-Akbar : Part - 1

💠Abu Hanifah an-Nu'man ibn Thabit al-Kufi (rahimahullah)

❖❐ In the Name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful

❖❐ The root of the affirmation of Allah's unity, and that which is correct conviction, consists of this, that one says:

1️⃣ I believe in Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , and His angels, and His books, and His messengers, and resurrection after death, and that the good and evil of destiny are from Allah the Most High. I believe too in the accounting and the scales, hell and paradise. All the foregoing is reality.

2️⃣Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is One, not in a numerical sense, but in the sense that He has no partner:

❖❐"Say: He is God, One; God the Eternally Subsistent and Besought; He begets not, nor was He begotten; and there is none like unto Him."

❖❐ He resembles nothing among His creation, nor does anything among His creation resemble Him.

❖❐ He has been, unceasing, and He is, unceasing, with His names and attributes, both those relating to His Essence and those relating to His acts. As for those relating to His Essence, they are life, power, knowledge, speech, hearing, sight, and will. As for those relating to His acts, they are creativity, sustenance, originating and fashioning ex nihilo, making, and other active attributes.

❖❐ He has been, unceasing, and He is, unceasing, with His attributes and names; neither attribute nor name was created. He has always and unceasingly been a knower, by virtue of His knowledge, and His knowledge is a pre-eternal attribute. He has always and unceasingly been powerful, by virtue of His power, and His power is a pre-eternal attribute.

❖❐ He has always and unceasingly been speaking by virtue of His speech and His speech is a pre-eternal attribute. He has always and unceasingly been a creator, by virtue of His creativity, and His creativity is a pre-eternal attribute. He has always and unceasingly been an agent, by virtue of His activity, and His activity is a pre-eternal attribute; the object of His activity is creation, and His activity is uncreated.

❖❐ His attributes existed in pre-eternity, without being created or called into existence at a particular moment. Whoever says that they are created or summoned into existence at a particular moment, or is uncertain about the attributes and doubts them, is an unbeliever in Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).

3️⃣The Qur'an is the Word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , written on collections of leaves (masahif), preserved in men's hearts, recited on men's tongues, and sent down to the Prophet, upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings. Our uttering of the Qur'an is created, and our recitation of the Qur'an is created, but the Qur'an itself is uncreated.

❖❐ That which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) mentions in the Qur'an as a narration from Musa (alayhi wa sallam) and other of the prophets and also from the Pharaoh and Iblis, all of it is Allah's word, and constitutes a report concerning them. Allah's word is uncreated.

❖❐ It is the Qur'an which as the word of Allah Most High is uncreated, not their words, Musa (alayhi wa sallam) heard the Word of Allah Almighty, as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:

❖❐"Allah addressed Musa (alaihe wa sallam) in speech." Thus Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) was the speaker, and Musa (alayhi wa sallam) did not speak. Allah Most High was a creator in pre-eternity, even without having brought creation into existence:

❖❐"There is naught like unto Him; He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing." When Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) addressed Musa (alaihe wa sallam) He did so with His word that was, like all of His attributes, an attribute existing from pre-eternity, unlike the attributes of created beings.
