Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: If a person says that the Qur'an is created out of necessity to escape the tyranny of a ruler, is his action permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to say that the Qur'an is created just to get rid of it. We ask: Who is the ruler? What did they do to Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) in terms of torture, imprisonment, and beating? He refused to say anything about the Qur'an other than what Allah said. He told them: "Bring me something from the Qur'an, or bring me something from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I will say it." But it was too difficult for them, and he stood firm against them until Allah saved him from them and relieved him. Therefore, he is called the Imam of the People of the Sunnah and the Community because of his patience and steadfastness.
He spoke the truth and was patient under torture and being dragged through the markets. So he was patient (may Allah have mercy on him) until Allah made the outcome for him, and he became the Imam of the People of the Sunnah, being titled the Imam of the People of the Sunnah. Yes.
