[quote][b]Allah has mouth and Tongue[/b] In the Holy Qur'an there are many verses which describe how Allah spoke with angels, Prophets and mankind. If one can speak, then he must have the sense of speech. Since Allah can speak, He does have the sense of speech; but it is spiritual and beyond the limits of time and space. He can simultaneously speak with the whole universe which abounds in a wide variety of languages. For example, in the sura "Al-'Imran", or "The Family of 'Imran" of the Holy Qur'an, it is stated: Innallaziina yashta-ruuna bi-'ahdillaahi wa 'aymaanihim samanan-qalilan 'ulaa-'ika laa khalaaqa lahum fil-'Akhirati wa laa yukallimu-humullaahu wa la yanzuru 'ilayhim Yawmal Qiyamati wa la yuzakkiihin / wa lahum 'azaabun 'aliim: "As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own solemn plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter. Allah will neither speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleanse them. They shall have a grievous chastisement." (3.77) Ustad Abdullah Yusuf Ali comments: "Even on sinners - ordinary sinners - Allah will look with compassion and mercy. He will speak words of kindness and cleanse them of their sins. But those who are in active rebellion against Allah and sin against their own light, - what mercy can they expect?" (9, p. 163) This means that in the Day of Judgment Allah will look upon some people and speak with them. Thus Allah has sense of speech. A very interesting incident described in the sura "Al-Baqarah", or "The Cow": Wa 'iz qaala Rabbuka lil Malaaa-'ikati "Innii jaa-'ilun fil-'arzi Khalifah" / Qaaluuu 'ataj-'alu fihaa many-yufsidu fiihaa wa yasti-kud-dimaaa? wa nahnu nusabbihu bi-Hamdika wa nu-qaddisu lak / Qaala "Inniii 'a'-lamu ma la ta'-lamuun: "When your Lord said to the angels: 'I will create a viceroy on the earth, they said: 'Wilt You place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we hymn Your praises and glorify Your holy (name)?' He said: 'Surely I know what you know not.'" (2.30) This verse is connected with one incident which happened when Allah decided to create the human being, namely Adam. (2.30-39) Allah informed the angels about His decision by saying: "I will create a viceroy on the earth." But the angels objected. They predicted that humans will do harm and will shed blood. Allah replied to the angels: "Surely I know that which you know not." Then Allah created Adam from the clay and enlivened him by placing a soul in a body. He taught Adam all the names of God as well as the names of the animals and plants. Allah displayed Adam to the angels, and asked them: "Now you inform me of these names." But the angels could only reply: "We have no knowledge besides that which You have taught us." Allah said: "O Adam! Inform them of these names of creation." When Adam informed the angels about these names as well as their own names, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secret of the heavens and the earth? I know that which you disclose and which you hide. Now prostrate yourselves before Adam." They fell prostrate. Only Iblis (Satan) disobeyed the order of Allah out of pride. Allah asked him: "O Iblis! What hinders you from falling prostrate before that which I have created with My hands. Are you too proud or are you of the high exalted?" Iblis replied: "I am better than Adam. You created me from fire, while him from clay. Allah said: "Go down from here. Now you are an outcast. My curse is on you till the Day of Judgment." Iblis replied: "Then, by Your might, I surely will bewilder everyone of them, except the single-minded slaves of You." Thus it is understood from this statement of Iblis's (Satan) that he has power over only those who are not "single-minded slaves" of Allah or surrendered souls to Him. Those who are devotees of the Supreme Lord cannot be affected by the demoniac influence of Satan. In contrast, those who are non-devotees are easily bewildered by Iblis and fall victim to his plots. This illustrates the glory of pure devotion to Allah. Allah said: "I shall fill hell with you and with such of them who will follow you." Then Allah said to Adam: "O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Garden, and eat freely of the fruits as you will. But come not near this tree otherwise you will become a wrong-doer. Iblis is an enemy unto you and unto your wife. If you listen to him, he will lead you away from the Garden of Paradise to a life of hardship." Then Iblis whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which has been hidden from them. Iblis said: "O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of immortality and power that wastes not away? Your Lord forbade you from this tree so to prevent you from becoming angels or becoming of the immortals." Iblis swore unto them, saying: "I am a sincere adviser unto you." Thus he led them on with deception and cunningness. When they tasted fruits of the tree, their shame became manifest to them and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. Thus Iblis bewildered them, causing them to deflect from the righteous path and so they were expelled from the happy state of life. Then Allah summoned them, saying: "Did I not forbid you from that tree? I informed you that Iblis is an open enemy to you. Fall down from here, one of you will be a foe unto the other. There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a while." From this incident we can see how freely Allah spoke with angels, Iblis and Adam. This means that Allah has sense of speech, or a spiritual Mouth and tongue. Allah can and does freely speak unlimitedly with His spiritual Mouth.[/quote]
