Question:
The questioner asks: How do we respond to those who say that attributing the Qur'an to Allah in His saying,[At-Tawbah 9:6], is merely an attribution of honor?
Answer:
This is the statement of the Jahmiyyah. They say the Qur'an is created and its attribution to Allah is an attribution of honor, like attributing a created thing to its Creator, such as “the House of Allah” and “the she-camel of Allah,” which are attributions of honor. This is false. It is not an attribution of a created thing to its Creator, but rather an attribution of an attribute to the one who possesses it, who is Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Just as “the hearing of Allah” and “the sight of Allah” and “the speech of Allah” are attributes; this is among the attributes.
