The Belief of a Muslim in regards to the Qur’aan

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

The Qur’aan is the Word of Allaah, not created, from Him it originated and to Him it will return.

The Qur’aan is the Word of Allaah عز وجل and His revelation, which He sent down and which is heard from a reciter when he is reciting the words of Allaah عز وجل.

Allaah تعالى said:

﴿وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّـهِ﴾

{And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allaah.} [Surah al-Tawbah (9): 6]

Allaah تعالى also said:

﴿قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا﴾

{Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to mankind). “If the sea were ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought (another sea) like it for its aid.”} [Surah al-Kahf (18): 109]

Allaah تعالى also said:

﴿وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّـهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ﴾

{And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the Words of Allaah would not be exhausted. Verily, Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.} [Surah Luqmaan (37): 27]

Allaah تعالى also said:

﴿يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُبَدِّلُوا كَلَامَ اللَّـهِ﴾

{They want to change Allaah’s Words} [Surah al-Fath (48): 15]

And it is preserved (memorized) in the breasts as Allaah تعالى said:

﴿بَلْ هُوَ آيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ﴾

{Rather, the Qur’aan is distinct verses, [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge.} [Surah al-`Ankaboot (29): 49]

Imaam Maalik bin Anas رحمه الله said: “The Qur’aan is the Word of Allaah, the Word of Allaah is from Allaah, and nothing from Allaah is created.” [Sharh Usool `Iteqaad Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaa`ah (2/275)]
