The Uncreated Qur’an: Divine Speech, Wording, Meaning and Attribution
- The Arabic expression must itself be necessary in existence
- Every Arabic term has one acoustic existence independent of its reciters
- Arabic expression and human voices are distinct from the attribute’s ontological status
- The sequence of words forms the temporal parts of the divine attribute
