How can the belief that the Qur’an is the uncreated Word of Allah be reconciled with the Hadiths that describe some Surahs of the Qur’an appearing on the Day of Resurrection in created forms to defend their reciter?

The answer

The Holy Qur'an is the uncreated Word of Allah Almighty. This is evidenced by the Qur'an, the , the sayings of the Companions, and the Imams of the Muslims. Some people's deduction that the Qur'an is created, based on hadiths about the Qur'an's coming on the Day of Resurrection as a "pale man" or "two clouds," is an incorrect deduction. This is because what is meant by that is the coming of the reward of the Qur'an and the deeds of the reciter, not the Qur'an itself. This interpretation is common in religious texts, such as His (Allah's) saying: "So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it," meaning he will see the reward of the good.
