وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ
The Qur’an is the speech of Allah.
لَيْسَ بِمَخْلُوقٍ كَكَلَامِ الْبَرِيَّةِ
It is not created like the speech of creatures.
How the passages fit: The Qur’an is Allah’s speech, not a created utterance like the speech of creatures. Affirming its divine nature requires avoiding a simple analogy with human speech.
Application: A person’s recitation involves their voice and physical acts; these are not indiscriminately equated with the reality of divine speech.
Limit of inference: The divine nature of the Qur’an does not make each human reciter’s voice uncreated.
