| Summary: | By our reference to the question of the creation of the Qur’an, we mean that verbal term that expresses the debate over whether, in fact, the Qur’an was created or not. This debate arose, especially among the Muʽtazila theological sect, which emerged at the beginning of the second century AH. The question arose in the space approximately under the influence of reason and its dominance, and the impulse of influence from philosophy and theology, the principles of the Muʽtazila led to many serious violations in the Islamic faith. One of the prominent issues in the thought of this sect was the issue of the creation of the Qur’an, wherein they argue that the Holy Qur’an was created the same as other creatures. Analyzing from this thought, they deny that the Qur’an is the word of God that He spoke. This issue intensified and many scholars were persecuted in the era of al-Ma’mun, al-Muʽtasim and al-Wathiq, with the support of the Muʽtazilite judge Ahmed bin Abi Duad. Past and present studies have dealt with the issue of the creation of the Qur’an, but they have not addressed the poetry accompanying it. Accordingly, this paper has tried to trace the origins of this poetry. We have considered the corresponding poetry and the poetry contrary to it. The most prominent poets in the first group were Al-Saheb bin Abbad and Al-Hussein bin Abdul Salam; As for the second group, we stopped at Ali bin al-Jahm, who praised al-Mu’tasim and al-Wathiq with only a few of his poems and ended with poems that had nothing to do with the creation of the Qur’an. Until Al-Mutawakkil assumed the caliphate, he anticipated a victory for the Sunnis. For this reason, he praised the caliph for his role in addressing this issue. Finally, we research the poems of al-Buhturi and those of some religious groups and other poetry that relates to this subject. |
