al-Ja'd ibn Dirham (Arabic: الجعد بن درهم) was an 8th-century Muslim theologian who promoted the idea of Quranic createdness.
[1][2] Despite these relations, the Umayyad caliph Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik still ordered the arrest of al-Ja'd due to his theology, which was considered heretical by the scholars around him.
[1][2] In regards to the Prophets of Islam and biblical figures, al-Ja'd denied that God spoke to Moses or took Abraham as a friend.
[1][2][3] One of the early critics of his theology was the Tabi'in and historian Wahb ibn Munabbih, who differed with him on the views of the divine attributes.
[3][4] On the day of Eid al-Adha, he was publicly executed via beheading by the governor of Iraq, Khalid al-Qasri.
