Abstract

The study primarily covers the famous issue of the controversy of the creation of the Holy Quran which was raised during the golden period of the Abbasid Caliphate. In the final era of Umayyad’s Caliphate, a debate started on this controversy. Still, after the decline of Umayyad, it remained hidden, especially during the Haroon era which had a strict stance against this movement. Mamoon passed an order in favor of the Creation of the Quran. Mamoon supported Motazliz and the Creation of the Quran became the official faith of the state for fifty years by force until Mutawakil terminated the previous order. It was a period of trial for the people who opposed it. A large number of scholars were killed, hanged, sent to jail or other punishments. Except Imam Ahmad Bin Hunbal no one had shown patience.  The study is an attempt to explore and highlight the controversy of the creation of the holy Quran on the historical basis which had created unrest among Muslims.   

Keywords: Crises, Motazliz, Creation, Quran, Ahmad Bin Hunbal, Mamoon.
