Is the Noble Quran a Creator or Creation?

I was told that this question raised some serious Islamic philosophical debates.   I am not sure if I understood the question right, but the argument was that since the Noble Quran is GOD Almighty's Holy Word, then it has to be part of GOD Almighty, which would then make it a Creator.  I am not sure why this ridiculous point was made, but if one debates philosophers, he would know that sometimes they do tend to be very ridiculous in their questions and debates, such as asking questions like "Can GOD create a rock so heavy that He Himself can't lift?" or "Can GOD created another GOD even stronger than Him?" 

As you can see, what ever "human" answer you give, you'll still philosophically lose, because GOD will be "defeated" (in our earthly and human logic) in either way you take.  If He can, then He'll lose, and if He can't, then there are things that He can't do, and therefore, it is wrong to say that "He can create anything" as He Says in the Noble Quran When He wishes to Create anything "Be, and it is" (19:35) according to the argument.  He obviously can't Create a rock that He can't lift, and He can't create a GOD that is stronger than Him.


My response to the question:

The Noble Quran is a Creation from GOD Almighty and can never be a Creator.  Allah Almighty clearly Said it in the Noble Quran:

"If there were a Quran with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with God in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had God (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of God come to pass, for, verily, God will not fail in His promise.  (The Noble Quran, 13:31)"

While the Noble Quran has so much Divine Power in it as Allah Almighty clearly Stated in Noble Verse 13:31, but the Power of the Noble Quran can only be unleashed and can only be determined by the Command of GOD Almighty.  So while the Noble Quran can move mountains and cause the dead to speak, and do so much more, but it is still powerless because of the Command and Will of Allah Almighty.

As to the Noble Quran being Allah Almighty's Holy Word, this is still doesn't mean anything, because Jesus peace be upon him was called a "Word" in the Noble Quran:

"Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God;  (The Noble Quran, 3:45)"

Yet, GOD Almighty clearly refuted trinity in the Noble Quran:

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.  (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs.  (The Noble Quran, 4:171)"

"They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.  (The Noble Quran, 5:73)"

"The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.  (The Noble Quran, 3:59)"

So since Jesus peace be upon him is also GOD Almighty's "Word" and not in anyway part of GOD Almighty, and is only a creation of GOD Almighty and he is His Apostle and Servant who was created from "dust" and nothing more and nothing less, then the Noble Quran also being the "Word" of GOD Almighty doesn't make it in anyway, shape or form, part of GOD Almighty.

Again, I am not sure if I really understood the question, but it seems to me that it is a ridiculous argument, and if it indeed ever created a big debate among Muslims, then I am sorry to say that those who argued that the Noble Quran was a "Creator" obviously lacked a great deal of knowledge about the Noble Quran itself.
