Assalamualaikum sheikh,
I had some doubts regarding the following two quiz questions -
04. What of the below is not true about the Qur’an?
Select one:
a. All the previous scriptures revealed were the same as the Qur’an
b. The Qur’an cannot be created
c. The text of the Qur’an is not Eternal
d. The Qur’an is the speech of Allah
Feedback
The correct answer is: All the previous scriptures revealed were the same as the Qur’an
My question: Why is option c incorrect? How can we say that the text of the quran is not eternal? Is it because Allah's speech is eternal, but not the textual form or the verbal form of it?
09. What is Allah’s speech Transcendent beyond?
Select one:
a. Sound
b. Words
c. Words and sounds
d. Writing
Feedback
The correct answer is: Words and sounds
My question: In relation to my hypothesis in the previous question, why is Allah's speech not transcendent beyond "writing"?
Jazakallahu khair in advance.
