Question:
What are the consequences of saying that the Qur'an is created and that it is not the speech of Allah?
Answer:
It entails denying one of the attributes of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. They have said:[Al-A'raf 7:180] This is a transgression regarding the names of Allah and His attributes. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is that this is also considered a denial of the commands and prohibitions.
If Allah does not speak, how can He command and prohibit? Who commands and prohibits other than Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He? This is a denial of the commands and prohibitions and an ascription of incapacity to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, described the gods of the disbelievers as not speaking, not hearing, and not seeing.
[Al-A'raf 7:148] One who does not speak is not fit to be a god, because the Lord must be one who commands, prohibits, and manages affairs. How can this happen without Him speaking?
This is a denial of the commands and prohibitions. Allah criticized the idols because they do not speak and do not talk, so they are not fit to be gods. How can one command and prohibit, make lawful and make forbidden, if one does not speak? This is incapacity. Yes.

And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way?
وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِن بَعْدِهِ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّهُ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًاThis is a denial of the commands and prohibitions.
