وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ
The Qur’an is indeed Allah’s speech.

The designation Allah’s speech attributes the Qur’an to its divine source. The Prophet ﷺ conveyed it through revelation; it is not a human composition.

The reciter’s voice, tongue movement and performance are human acts. Their created nature does not make divine speech a created human work. Speech and the human act of reciting must remain distinct.
