Refuting the Doubt That the Qur'an and Iron Are Created

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the refutation of this doubt?
And We sent down iron, wherein is great military mightوَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ
[Al-Hadid 57:25]
He says: The Qur'an is sent down, and iron is sent down, so both are therefore created.

Answer:
Iron is brought down from the mountains, from the highlands, and from the mountains. As for the Qur'an, it is brought down from Allah. Allah said, "The word of Allah," so that the word of Allah is heard. They want to change the word of Allah. Allah described Himself because He speaks, and that this Qur'an is the word of Allah
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allahوَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:6]
. So the speech is attributed to Him, (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for iron, it is brought down from a specific place, brought down from the mountains, like the bringing down of
and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight matesوَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَنْعَامِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ
[Az-Zumar 39:6]
, its descent from the backs of males to the wombs of females. This is a specific descent. So descent varies and diversifies; some of it is descent from Allah, (Mighty and Majestic), which is His speech and His revelation, and some of it is descent from specific places. Yes. This is one thing. So the meaning of "descent" is not one in the Qur'an; it varies. This questioner says: A man has a sister who is over sixty years old. (Mighty and Majestic) says, "And We sent down water from the sky." Descent can be from the sky, descent can be from the mountains, it can be from the backs of males to the wombs of females. Descent varies.
