Question

Is the Speech of Allah associated with words and sounds? And does it include more than Allah's books?

Answer

Majority of the mutakallimeen have deliberated about this. They are inclined towards the speech being above voices and not constructed into words.

Obviously.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
