We have seen in the previous two articles that the Torah that exists today and the Bible that exists today are not the word of God, in light of the many proofs that we discussed in the previous two articles, and today Today we will speak of the Qur'an as the last book which is presented as the words of God and the last message of God to the inhabitants of the earth.
The Qur'an differs from all books that you can find in the world. It is a book that begins with the speech of the attribute of God Mercy who is general who includes all his creatures and also very merciful, he begins by saying:
Al-Faatiha 1: Verse 1: "In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful."
The Qur'an speaks with total inclusion, because he speaks of the creator of this universe and the relationship between Him and man, he speaks with a tone that reflects the greatness of the owner of the Qur'an, as he said in his first verses:
Al-Baqara 2: Verse 2: "This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah -"
He denies the existence of any kind of doubts about him, and it is a challenge that a human writer does not dare to take up, because human writers generally apologize for the existence of any involuntary error in the introductions of their books
The Qur'an speaks of the creator, his attributes, his creation and their continuous need for him, to define his most important topic, namely that the Creator is the only worthy of being worshiped, and the creature has no power, for example we find he tell from the beginning:
Al-Baqara 2: Verse 21: "O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -"
Al-Baqara 2: Verse 22: "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]."
Then he begins to present the mental proofs that he is of Almighty God, and he says:
Al-Baqara 2: Verse 23: "And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful."
Before explaining the logic on which this evidence is based, it must be remembered that when the Qur'an came down, the Arabic language was at its best, because the Arabs were building markets to present their Arabic literature in prose or poetics, and they competed in it, and they considered that the human being was based on his language and his heart, in this environment, the Qur'an came down with a clear Arabic language and challenged the Arabs, who are the eloquent people , to bring words similar to the Qur'an.
This challenge is based on a principle which says that if the Qur'an is the word of Muhammad, - that the prayer and peace of God be upon him,- the other Arabs are inevitably able to lead his example, because Mohammed is not not the most eloquent of humanity, and even if he was the most eloquent of the Arabs, what he produced will not be unproductive by all Arabs, so if the Arabs are not able, as it is the case, to produce speech like the Qur'an, we conclude with certainty that the Qur'an is not to be the word of Muhammad or the word of human beings, but the word of the Creator of men.
This challenge has been repeated several times by the Qur'an, for example, it is found in its declaration:
Al-Israa 17: Verse 88: "Say, If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."
For 1400 years, this challenge has existed and humanity has not been able to bring a word like the Qur'an.
The Qur'an also provides a second very important proof which depends on the postulate of the deficiency of human work. All human work is incomplete and contains errors and must be continuously improved, as is well known. If the Qur'an is human work, we will find errors in it as we found in the Torah and the Bible. And since the Qur'an contains no errors, It is certain that it is not a human act, but rather that it comes from the Creator of humanity, and this is what he mentioned in his saying:
An-Nisaa 4: Verse 82: "Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction."
Although the Qur'an was not a large book, it carried the stories of previous nations, discussed the details of the reality of the time in which it was revealed, and spoke with precision about what was to come. It is an omnibus book in which all the people of the earth find verses indicating that it really comes from the Creator of the universe. For example, the Christians find in it the true history of Jesus and his mother and the family of Mary, where there is a Surah in the name of Imran (the family of Mary) and a Surah in the name of Mary who provided information that Christians do not find in their books, which obliges them to maintain that it is of God, because Muhammad, if he were a liar, would never dare to say to the Arabs - the traditional enemies of the Jews - that a Jewish girl is better than their wives and all the women of the peoples of the earth:
Aal-i-Imraan 3: Verse 42: "And [mention] when the angels said, O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds."
What advantage would Muhammad gain from this information if he revealed it to the Arabs ?!
No doubt that this information repels the Arabs of this religion and this message, and despite this, Mohammed, - God bless him and grant him peace, - told them this verse, because he did not speak of him, but of what God had sent him.
Scientists specializing in all fields of humanities and technology find in the Qur'an what proves to them that the Qur'an can never be the words of anyone other than the Creator of humanity. For example, what he said about the stages of fetal development in his mother's womb, where he described the stages with a precise description that was not discovered until after the development of modern microscopes and laboratories , where he said:
Al-Muminoon 23: Verse 12: "And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay."
Al-Muminoon 23: Verse 13: "Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging."
Al-Muminoon 23: Verse 14: "Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators."
Who told Muhammad these steps 1400 years ago ?!
The least righteous person cannot say anything other than the Creator of man informed Muhammad, because in his time no one knew these steps.
The evidence that I have mentioned in this article is actually only a very small part of what can be said, but it is enough the seeker of the truth to prove that the Qur'an is the word of God alone, and cannot in no way be human speech.
In the next article, we look in the Qur'an for the very purpose for which we were created and how we can achieve it.
Allah says truth
