What is the ruling on saying that Allah is a Speaker as a description of Him? And is this statement considered disbelief, based on the definition of the Speaker as one who speaks with letters and sound? And are those who say this the Mu'tazilah? And what is the ruling on saying "the Speaking Creator" when seeing two people who resemble each other, if the intention is the resemblance between them? And what is the ruling on saying "as came upon the tongue of Allah" or "as came upon the tongue of His Messenger" when citing verses, and is it permissible to interpret "tongue" here as "speech" by analogy with the interpretation of "hand" in His saying, the Most High: {The Hand of Allah is above their hands}?

The names and attributes of Allah are Tawqifi (revealed and not subject to human reasoning). It has not been authentically established to name Allah as "the Speaker" (al-Natiq) or to describe Him with this attribute. Rather, He is described by the فعل (action) "He speaks in the best manner" (yantiqu ahsan al-nutq), not by a noun. Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah believe that Allah speaks with letters and sound, and His speech is uncreated, contrary to the Mu'tazilah who believe His speech is created, and the Ash'aris who distinguish between inner speech (Kalam Nafsi) and created verbal speech. The truth is that the speech of Allah Almighty is uncreated, both in wording and meaning. He speaks whenever He wills and however He wills. The saying "It came on the tongue of Allah" is incorrect, as there is no authentic proof of a tongue for Allah, and speech is not limited to the tongue and lips. The common people's saying "the speaking Creator" (al-Khaliq al-Natiq) is also incorrect, because it is impermissible to describe Allah as "the Speaker" or the created as "the Creator."
