وَلَا نَقُولُ بِخَلْقِ الْقُرْآنِ
We do not affirm that the Qur’an is created.

Allah's attribute of speech is eternal and not dependent on created instruments. Our tongues, voices and act of recitation are human and therefore temporal acts.

The created act of a person reciting must not be confused with Allah's eternal attribute of speech. This preserves the distinction between divine speech and human performance.
