Question: The Qur’an is Allah’s speech; what, then, of a reciter’s human voice?
Answer: The Qur’an is Allah’s speech, while the reciter’s voice and recitation are acts of the human reciter. Confusing these distinct relations creates theological misunderstandings.
وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ
The Qur’an is truly the speech of Allah.
Follow-up: What practical duties follow from this belief?
Clarification: Reverence, careful recitation, understanding the meanings and following its commands. Verbal affirmation alone does not fulfill those responsibilities.
