Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated October 11th, 2017

VTR: I'm Volkan from Trabzon. Mr. Adnan, there is a question I'm very curious about. Almighty God says in the Surah ar-Rahman that "He taught the Quran, He created man." Does the ordering have significance?

ADNAN OKTAR: Indeed, when Almighty God says "He created the Quran," it means the Quran is created through Levh-i Mahfuz. But there is no such concept as ‘before-after’ for God; it only looks like that for us. For God, everything is created and finalized in an instant. Therefore, since the Quran is superior and supreme, God mentions the Quran first to make us feel the superiority and the supremacy of the Quran. Someone who doesn't follow the Quran is not considered an important person in the eyes of God. God does not consider him as a person. Humans attain their value through the Quran, through faith, by loving God. God knows the best, this is one of the reasons why the Quran is mentioned first.
