The ruling on describing the Qur'an as the making of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone says about the Qur'an that it is from the making of Allah, does that mean holding the view of the creation of the Qur'an, and is the holder of this statement an innovator?
Answer:
Yes, this statement that it is from the making of Allah is not correct. It is obligatory to say that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, because if one says "from the making of Allah," it is possible that it means from the creation of Allah, as the closest meaning of "making" is "creation." Thus, the statement "from the making of Allah" is ambiguous. It is not permissible. The Salaf and the scholars of the Muslims never said that the Qur'an is the making of Allah, not even once. Or, when the Exalted mentioned the movement of the mountains at the Hour of Resurrection,[An-Naml 27:88], He meant the creation of Allah; this is the creation of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This word is not permissible to use regarding the Noble Qur'an; at the very least, it is ambiguous.

And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who
وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي
