Question
What is the meaning of the Quraan being the uncreated word of Allah?
Answer
Just as Allah Ta`ala is not created and eternal, then His attributes are also eternal. Kalaam is a sifat of Allah Ta`ala and sifaat are ghayr makhlooq.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
