The Qur'an is from the Command, not from Creation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh said: Allah informs you. Is this answer correct? He said it is from the Command, and the Command is other than the Truth, as evidenced by the fact that it is a Command, and reason necessitates distinctness, as He the Exalted said:
Unquestionably, His is the creationأَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ
[Al-A'raf 7:54]
And indeed, it is. Yes, he said it is from the Command, not from Creation.

Answer:
Yes, this is correct speech. The Qur'an is from the Command, not from Creation. Because it is from the Command of Allah; He commands with it and forbids, Blessed and Exalted is He, and He gives glad tidings and warns. So it is from the Command without doubt, not from Creation. And Allah distinguished between them, saying:
Unquestionably, His is the creation and the commandأَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ
[Al-A'raf 7:54]
