The statement that the Qur'an is not described as renewed or originated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I read something in some books that confused me, where the author says regarding the Qur'an that it is not described as renewed or originated. Does this agree with the doctrine of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
This is an error. Rather, the Qur'an is from the speech of Allah, which is created.
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Mercifulوَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:5]
This means that Allah spoke it and revealed it. The speech of Allah, as the scholars said, is ancient in type but created in its individual instances. It is created in its individual instances, and Allah speaks whenever He wills. As for those who say the Qur'an is ancient, that is an error. Yes.
