The prevailing belief among Muslims is that, because the Qur'an is
the Word of God and God is eternal, it follows that His Word is also
eternal. The belief is based on the postulate that the Word of God must
be of the same nature as God Himself. Mahmoud Hussein refutes this by
showing that it contradicts the very teachings of the Qur'an. Whereas
God transcends time, His Word is inscribed within time. It is not a
monologue, but a living exchange, through which God reveals to His
Prophet different orders of truth, weaving together the absolute and the
relative, the general and the particular, the eternal and the
contingent.
