The Uncreated Qur’ān
By Sadik Miah
“Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal suffered painful persecution for standing by the belief that the Holy Qur’an is the Uncreated Word of Allah. His principled stand came at great personal loss, and he was a living example of the words in Sura Al-‘Asr: “By (the passage of) Time (through the ages), Truly, humanity is in a state of loss, except those who have Faith, and do good deeds, and (join one another) in teaching Truth, and Patience, and Steadfastness.”
