وَلَا نَقُولُ بِخَلْقِ الْقُرْآنِ
We do not hold that the Qur’an is created.
Allah’s attribute of speech is eternal. A person’s recitation, vocal sound, and movement of the tongue are human acts that occur in time. The created nature of a human action does not prove that Allah’s speech is created.
This distinction preserves both the Qur’an’s attribution to Allah and the temporal character of the reciter’s act. The divine attribute and the human act are not the same thing.
