Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Is the Qur'an created or uncreated (always existed)?

Is the Qur'an created or uncreated (always existed)?

21:10 Indeed, We (have) sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not use reason?

76:1 Has there come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing mentioned? 76:2 Indeed, We created man from a drop, a mixture, We test him; so We made (for) him hearing and sight.

(The Qur’an mentions mankind; according to Verse 76:1 there was a time in which there was no such mention)(Allah knows best)

21:8 And We did not made them bodies not eating food, nor were they immortals.

(The Qur’an mentions non immortal beings. So, those beings did not always exist)(Allah knows best)

10:37 And it was not that this Qur’an could be produced (yuf’tara) by other than Allah, but (it is) a confirmation of that which was before it and a detailed explanation of the Book, about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.

(Verse 10:37 refers to the Qur’an as something “fabricated”, “invented” or “produced” (yuf’tara))(The root of “yuf’tara” (produced) is “Fa-Ra-Ya”, and it means “fabricate, new, unheard, unprecedent, etc.”)(Allah knows best)

5:3 Are made unlawful for you the dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which is dedicated to other than Allah, and that which is strangled, and that which is fatally hit, and that which has a fatal fall, and that which is gored by horns, and that which ate the wild animal except what you slaughtered, and that which is sacrificed on stone altars, and that you seek division by divining arrows - that is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion; so do not fear them, but fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and I have completed My Favor upon you, and I have approved for you Islam as a religion. But whoever is forced by hunger with no inclination to sin, then indeed, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

(This Verse says that “this day” (a certain day) was perfected the religion)(Allah knows best)

28:88 And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything (will be) destroyed except His Face. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.

3:47 She said, "My Lord how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" He said, "Thus Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees (qada) a matter, then He only says to it, "Be," and it becomes.

(“When” denotes “time”. Verse 3:47 says “when He decrees”; and Verse 17:4 says that God decreed in the Book. So, there is something in the Book decreed “when” He decreed)(Allah knows best)

17:4 And We decreed (waqadayna) for the Children of Israel in the Book, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach great haughtiness."

69:40 Indeed, it is surely the Word of a noble Messenger.

(The Qur’an is the Word of God (10:82). The Messengers are not God, and they did not invent the Qur’an, but they can deliver it (27:29), so the Word is “from / of” them, in the name of God (1:1, 27:30), not in their own name (27:29))(Allah knows best)

27:29 She said, "O chiefs, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter. 27:30 Indeed, it (is) from Solomon, and indeed, it (is), "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

4:171 O People of the Book, do not commit excess in your religion and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Glory be to Him, that He (should) have a son for Him. To Him whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.

(One interpretation is that Jesus is His word (4:171) because God said to him, "Be," and he was (3:59). Adam was created likewise (3:59), but it does not make him a deity either. Another (less likely) interpretation in this particular Verse (4:171) is that Jesus is His word because he does not speak on his own but delivers God’s Message (38:8, 7:203))(Christians mention, or misinterpret, or invented, or misquote John 1:1 which says that “the word was god”, but John 1:1 does not even mention “Jesus”. And John 1:1 is a sentence said by “John”, so it was not even said by Jesus (e.g. John 1:1 does not say “and Jesus said that in the beginning was the Word, etc.”). The Qur’an confirms that Jesus is not God (5:72, 5:73, 5:116, 5:17))(Another point is that it is said that Jesus did not write the Gospel but is anonymous and the language is in Greek instead of Aramaic (the language of Jesus), and the current Bible has verses that are not in the oldest sources (e.g. Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, papyrus), so it is not a reliable source)(An interpretation of the sentence “and a spirit from Him” (4:171) is that the spirit is a Messenger as well, because, according to the context, it refers to a previous sentence “a messenger of Allah”, so Jesus is a messenger of Allah, and the spirit/Angel is a messenger as well. Then the next sentence says “So believe in Allah and His messengers” (“messengers” in plural). Verses 19:17-19 also confirm that the Spirit is only a Messenger of God)(Note: the word “wa” (and), mentioned in the sentence “and a spirit from Him”, does not specify order or timing; so “a spirit from Him” can refer to “messenger”)(See the link below “Is the Bible corrupted?”)(Allah knows best)

11:13 Or they say, "He has fabricated it (if’tarahu)." Say, "Then bring ten Surahs like it that have been fabricated (muf’tarayatin), and call whoever you can besides Allah if you are truthful."

(This Verse uses the same verb than Verse 10:37 (“Fa-Ra-Ya”). So, chapters could be fabricated by anyone. But the Qur’an could not be “fabricated” by other than Allah (10:37))(Allah knows best)

2:79 So woe to those who write the book with their hands, then they say, "This is from Allah," to exchange it for a little price. So woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

2:89 And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming what was with them, though before that they used to pray for victory over those who disbelieved - then when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it. So the curse of Allah is on the disbelievers.

(The Qur’an does not say that a Book is Allah, but says that is “from Allah”; and His words are “from” Him (2:37), and His Knowledge is “from” Him (2:255); and also a Messenger is “from” Allah (7:61), which does not mean that the Messenger “is” Allah)(Allah knows best)

4:166 But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His Knowledge and the Angels bear witness. And Allah is sufficient as a Witness.

2:255 Allah - there is no God except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and the guarding of both of them does not tire Him. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

79:27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He constructed it.

(Among the creation/creatures mentioned in the Qur’an, some are more difficult creation than others (79:27, 40:57), and some were created sooner than others, because the heavens and the earth were created in six epochs (7:54). In that regard, the concepts “uncreated” or “always existed” in regard to the Qur’an might sound as if creation/creatures mentioned in there were equally made)(Allah knows best)

40:57 Surely, the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most people do not know.

7:54 Indeed, your Lord is Allah, the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six epochs, then He established on the Throne. He covers the night with the day seeking it rapidly; and the sun, and the moon and the stars are subjected by His command. Unquestionably, for Him is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.

3:59 Indeed, the likeness of Jesus with Allah is like the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.

(In regard to Genesis 5:1, saying “when God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God”; this verse might be explained by Genesis 3:22, “And the Lord God said, “the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil”; so, one interpretation is that humans can know His Words (through the Scriptures revealed by God), so humans are “like” someone who knows good and evil, but only in the matter of “knowing” (that which God revealed to you), not in a matter of humans (or Books) being or becoming gods)(The miraculous birth of Jesus does not make him a deity, nor the son of God. Adam was created likewise (3:59))(Allah knows best)

7:144 He said, "O Moses, indeed, I have chosen you over the people with My Messages and with My words. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
