They believe that the Quran is truly Allah’s Word, not created like the speech of men. Consequently, whoever hears it and claims that it is the speech of men will be committing Kufr (disbelief): Allah chastises and admonishes this type of person and promises them Saqar (Hell) as a consequence of their statement, {This (Quran) is but the speech of men} (74:25)
