Is the Quran eternal or is it created in time by Allah?
The Noble Quran is the Holy Words and Revelation of Allah Almighty. It is created from Allah Almighty. It was sent down to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to be the Light and the Guide to Mankind, and to bring them from the darkness of worshiping idols and other methods of polytheism such as trinity, into the Lightness of Worshiping One True Living GOD Almighty. Let us look at few Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (The Noble Quran, 4:48)"
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"
"Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds! To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!. (The Noble Quran, 45:36-37)"

The Noble Quran was sent to Mankind to direct them in their life here on Earth. After death, and when we all get resurrected, the Noble Quran's Judgement Days Prophecies will be fulfilled. After that, the Noble Quran will no longer be needed for any use, because we will be living in Heaven under Allah Almighty's Mercy and directly prostrating to Him. There is no mention of any new Revelations in Heaven in the Noble Quran. Instead, we will be living directly under the Holy Shadow of Allah Almighty, and we will be communicating with Him directly. That's why there will be no need for Prophets and Holy Books and Revelations in Paradise.
So therefore, the Noble Quran is not eternal. It is only created to serve us humans here on earth until the Day of Judgement.
