Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah Amma ba'd The Ruling on the Statement: "He Was the Qur`an Walking on the Earth"
Question: We hear the tongues of some of the lecturers (when describing the character) of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), "He was the Qur`an walking on the Earth." Meaning, he implemented the rules and regulations of the Qur`an. What is the ruling of this statement? |
| Shaikh Rabee bin Hadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) answered:
| quote: |
It is incumbent that we say, "His character was the Qur`an," [1] like 'Aa`isha (radiAllahu 'anha) said. The Qur`an is the speech of Allaah and not created; whereas Muhammad is a human being who is created. It is not incumbent (nor proper) to say, ("He was the Qur`an walking on the Earth") or things similar to this. This is because we are at war with the Mu'tazilah and other than them over their statement that the "Qur`an is created," so how can we (the people of the Sunnah) utter statements like this?! We say the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam) implemented the rules and regulations of the Qur`an, and his (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam) character emanated from the Qur`an; he (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam) acted in accordance to it and believed in it. This statement, ("He was the Qur`an walking on the Earth," conceptually comes) from the western slogans which (people) blindly follow. And Allaah knows best. |

Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.
