Classical Sunni theology holds that “Kalamullah” is uncreated and eternal, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad via the Angel Jibril. No human, regardless of piety or learning, produces God’s Word; at best, they offer hadith (prophetic sayings) or tafsir (exegesis). By calling al-Awlaki’s sermons “Kalamullah,” his followers commit a form of shirk (associating partners with God) or, at minimum, a gross category error. Al-Awlaki himself, though fluent in Arabic and trained as a civil engineer with some Islamic studies, had no formal ijazah (license) from a recognized seminary like Al-Azhar. He was a self-radicalized orator, not a mujtahid (independent jurist). The phrase therefore elevates his downloaded lectures—tracts on the obligation of individual jihad against the West—to the level of scripture. This is not merely hyperbolic admiration; it is an act of theological insurrection, bypassing fourteen centuries of scholarly consensus ( ijma ) to declare a modern insurgent a mouthpiece for the divine.
