The Qur'an is Allah's Kalam (Speech)


We talked before, in the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah (chapter 2) about the meaning of the letters that appear in the beginnings of some chapters in the Qur'an. We stated that every Surah that starts with separate letters, affirms that the Qur'an is miraculous and is an evidence that it is a revelation from Allah, and that there is no doubt or denying in this fact. This is why Allah said next,

﴿Êöáúßó ÂíóÜÊõ ÇáúßöÊóÜÈö﴾

(These are the verses of the Book), the Qur'an, which Allah described afterwards,

﴿æóÇáøóÐöì ÃõäÒöáó Åöáóíúßó﴾

(and that which has been revealed unto you), O Muhammad,

﴿ãöä ÑóÈøößó ÇáúÍóÞøõ﴾

(from your Lord is the truth,) Allah said next,

﴿æóáóÜßöäøó ÃóßúËóÑó ÇáäøóÇÓö áÇó íõÄúãöäõæäó﴾

(but most men believe not.) just as He said in another Ayah,

﴿æóãóÂ ÃóßúËóÑõ ÇáäøóÇÓö æóáóæú ÍóÑóÕúÊó ÈöãõÄúãöäöíäó ﴾

(And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly.) ﴿12:103﴾ Allah declares that even after this clear, plain and unequivocal explanation (the Qur'an), most men will still not believe, due to their rebellion, stubbornness and hypocrisy.

﴿Çááøóåõ ÇáøóÐöì ÑóÝóÚó ÇáÓøóãóÜæóÊö ÈöÛóíúÑö ÚóãóÏò ÊóÑóæúäóåóÇ Ëõãøó ÇÓúÊóæóì Úóáóì ÇáúÚóÑúÔö æóÓóÎøóÑó ÇáÔøóãúÓó æóÇáúÞóãóÑó ßõáøñ íóÌúÑöì áÃóÌóáò ãøõÓóãøðÜì íõÏóÈøóÑõ ÇáÇøñãúÑó íõÝóÕøöáõ ÇáÂíóÜÊö áóÚóáøóßõãú ÈöáöÞóÂÁö ÑóÈøößõãú ÊõæÞöäõæäó ﴾

(2. Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then, He rose above (Istawa) the `Arsh ﴿Throne﴾. He has subjected the sun and the moon, each running (its course) for a term appointed. He manages and regulates all affairs; He explains the Ayat in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.)
