Is the Qur'an included among all things in Allah's saying: 'Allah is the Creator of all things'?

Q: All praise be to Allah, after studying and carefully examining some books, I understood that the Qur'an is the Words of Allah and was not created, contrary to the doctrine of some groups, such as Al-Mu`tazilah (a deviant Islamic sect claiming that those who commit major sins are in a state between belief and disbelief). But, I found a very deceitful misconception that I did not know how to refute. I read one of the books of Ibn Al-Qayyim but I could not understand. This misconception is concerning Allah's saying: Allâh is the Creator of all things The Noble Qur'an is a "thing" and they say that it is included in this Ayah (Qur'anic verse). I hope that Your Eminence could explain the purport of this Ayah and explain how to refute the misconceptions of those Bid`ah (innovation in religion) mongers. I appreciate your answer. May Allah reward you with the best. A: The Noble Qur'an is not included in Allah's saying: Allâh is the Creator of all things This is because the Glorious Qur'an is the Speech of Allah and the Speech of Allah represents one of His Attributes which is not created; for the attributes follow the attributed. Allah, along with His Attributes including His Speech, is the Creator of all things and anything other than Him is created. This is supported by the noble Ayah: Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. (Part No. 3; Page No. 19

Allah, along with His Attributes including His Speech, is the Creator of all things and anything other than Him is created. This is supported by the noble Ayah: Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. (Part No. 3; Page No. 19) Here, Allah (Glorified be He) separated between creation and commandment as indicated by the conjunction "and", which [in Arabic] denotes difference. And commandments are given by saying words. Allah (Exalted be He) says: Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" - and it is! At this point, the misconception should be removed, In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
