Summary
The hadith describing the Quran coming like a man on the Day of Judgement is narrated by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah and is graded hasan. Scholars such as al-Nawawi and al-Munawi explain that what comes is the reward for reciting and acting upon the Quran, not the Quran itself. The Quran is the eternal Word of Allah and is not created, contrary to the claim of the Mu'tazilah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun Al-Quran ia merupakan Kalamullah Al-Qadim. Ia bukannya makhluk sepertimana dakwaan golongan Muktazilah.
