Abstract

The creation of Quran considered as the most famous event in time of Ma’moon and his successors was not only a verbal dispute that its fore and against stated their viewpoints with reasoning but also it changed into a political and social issue as “<em>Mehnat</em>” and led to the division of Muslims into two branches of believers and non believers and threatened the Islamic intellectual unity. <br />Meanwhile, Abbasid caliphs were making profit from this event. Relying on the historical approach as well as the analytical-descriptive method, this article has endeavored to study the concept of creation of Quran and the elements of raising this issue by Abbasids and Mu’tazilites and finally, Imam Hadi’s policy in dealing with it. <br />The finding of research clarifies that Imam Hadi (PBUH) like Imams before him could deal with this issue considered as a dominant thought, against Mu’tazilah, people of tradition and caliphate system.
