quote:....Arabic was at its Zenith, the thing that the Arabs were most proud of, was their language, it was the age of literature and poetry, they were excellent in literature and poetry. So Allah says, that these are your letters! With your letters which you are so proud of, I (Allaah) have produced the Holy Qur’aan. He challenges all the human beings, if they want they can take the help of Jinn also, anyone besides Allaah, to try and produce a single Surah like the Holy Qur’aan.....

Said the Imaam Of Ahl-is-Sunnah wal-Jam’aa’ah :
And the Qur’aan is the Word of Allaah. It is not created . And he should not be too weak to declare it is not created and that the Word of Allaah is not (something) distinct and separate from Him (i.e., an entity in itself) and that not a single thing from it is created.
And beware of argumentation with the one who innovates in this matter and says that his recitation of the Qur’aan is created and other such claims.
And whoever hesitates in this matter and says, ‘I do not know whether it is created or not created. It is but the Word of Allah.’ Then he is a person of innovation and he is just like the one who says, ‘It is created. ’
“Indeed it is the Word of Allaah and it is not created.”
Ibn Abee Duwaad came to Imam Ahmed and said, ‘0 Ahmad, say in my ear: ‘The Qur’aan is created,’ So that I may save you from the hand of the khaleefah.’ So Imaam Ahmad said to him, “0 Ibn Abee Duwaad, say in my ear: ‘The Qur’aan is the Speech of Allah, it is not created,’ so that I save you from the punishment of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic.”
