I have read some previous discussions on this issue over the Internet, but there is one argument that I have not seen being taken into account. The Quran speaks of Jesus as the Word of God (4:171), and in the very same verse it admonishes the people from associating Jesus with God. So, if Jesus was the Word of God, and the Quran likewise is the Word of God, then the Quran should be considered, like Jesus, as separate from God and not part of Him. What say you about this?

This point is a very useless topic which doesn't make any sense. If a person speaks and gives some statement which may be in spoken or written form, we never say, is this statement a part of that person, or is this statement originated, etc. Then why should someone raise such question about the Kalaam of Allah to make long discussions, to cause confusion and mere confusion?
"Quraan is the kalaam of Allah i.e. the statement of Allah sent down for the guidance of mankind".
Is there anything difficulty in understanding this quoted underlined sentence???
No!!! I believe every normal mind can understand this sentence very well. Therefore, those who create confusion are not normal!!!
The saying that Jesus is the word of Allah doesn't mean that he is the statement of Allah. There is no reason to take that meaning. Again it is very simple to understand. Allah says again and again that to do anything Allah only says "kun" i.e. "Be", "fayakoon" so it happens. Read the translation of the following verse of surah Yaseen:
82. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is!Similarly, the creation of Eisa (Jesus ) alaihi salaam in the miraculous way was not difficult for Allah as Allah had to give only a command saying "Be" and then it happened.
Is there any difficulty in understanding the above statement? I don't understand why do people try to create confusion and disturb people with normal minds and understanding? Surely it is only due to the mischief of Satan and Satan is an open enemy to mankind!!!
