Does the noble verse "Allah is the Creator of all things" contradict the Qur’an being the uncreated word of Allah?
The Sunni consensus is that the Quran is the uncreated, revealed Word of Allah. They rejected the innovators' saying, "The Quran is created," because the Quran is an attribute of Allah, and His attributes are uncreated. The specious argument of the innovators, that Allah Almighty says: (Allah is the Creator of all things), and the Quran is a thing, so it must be created, is invalid. The verse means that Allah is the Creator of all created things. Allah Almighty has described Himself as a "thing," and He cannot be created. The Word of Allah is beyond creation. Allah has differentiated between creation and command in His saying: (Indeed, to Him belongs creation and command). Command is through speech. Furthermore, the generality of "all things" may refer to a specific subset, as in His saying concerning the Queen of Sheba: (And she was given of all things).
