6:73 He is the One who created the heavens and the earth, truthfully. Whenever He says, “Be,” it is. His word is the absolute truth. All sovereignty belongs to Him the day the horn is blown. Knower of all secrets and declarations, He is the Most Wise, the Cognizant.
41:11 Then He turned to the sky, when it was still gas, and said to it, and to the earth, “Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly.” They said, “We come willingly.”
This becomes particularly problematic in regard to Jesus, who is called the word of God, who Sunnis would have to defend coexisted for all of eternity with God if they are to continue arguing that God’s words are eternal and that the Quran is uncreated.
4:171 O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, “Trinity.” You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master.
This absurd position that Sunnis have caught themselves in by defending their idolization of Salaf at all costs has led them to argue that Jesus coexisted with God for all of eternity. As usual, the Sunnis disregard the clear verses of the Quran in favor of the conjecture of their scholars.
9:31 They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords, instead of GOD. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.
This fulfills the Quranic prophecy of the people abandoning the Quran.
25:27 The day will come when the transgressor will bite his hands (in anguish) and say, “Alas, I wish I had followed the path with the messenger.
25:28 “Alas, woe to me, I wish I did not take that person as a friend.
25:29 “He has led me away from the message after it came to me. Indeed, the devil lets down his human victims.”
25:30 The messenger said, “My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran.”
