Is it possible that Qur’an was inspired by Satan? This is the most
illogical and weakest of all the possible alternatives. In fact, a single
verse from the Qur’an is enough to destroy this baseless assertion. Qur’an
16:98 declares as follows: When you want to recite the Qur’an, seek God’s
protection from Satan the accursed one. How could Satan gives a command
that before reading his book you must first of all seek refuge and
protection with God against him? Does this make any sense to you? Moreover,
how could Satan exposed the idol worshippers in Makah to the idea of
believing in one God and all Biblical prophets including Jesus Christ
(pbuh) as found in many verses of the Qur’an? For example, we read in the
Qur’an as follows: And that was Our proof which We gave to Abraham against
his people. We raise whom We will in degrees. Certainly your Lord is
All-Wise, All-Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, each of
them We guided. And before him We guided Noah, and among his progeny David,
Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good doers.
And Zachariah, and John and Jesus and Elias, all in the ranks of the
righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah and Lot; each one of them We
preferred above the nations. And also some of their fathers, and their
progeny and their brethren ,We chose them, and We guided them to a straight
path. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whomsoever He wills
of His servants. But if they had joined in worship others with God, all
their deeds would have been of no benefit to them. They are whom We gave
the book, and authority and prophet hood…They are those whom God had
guided. So follow their guidance(Qur’an 6:84-90) Do you think God of truth
and wisdom would allow Satan or any deliberate liar to impersonate Him and
then also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in
the way the author of Qur’an has done? If God Almighty could allow the
Satan or any other deliberate liar to impersonate Him in this way and also
allow such word of impersonator to be protected from destruction since
1400 years ago till today, then on what basis could any rational person
distinguish such fake words from true word of God? God may allow anybody to
write or speak about Him as you may also allow your friend to write or
speak about you. But if you as a truthful man would never allow your
friend- talk less of your enemy- to impersonate you in order to deceive
some innocent people, then why do you think the God of truth would allow
Satan or any deliberate liar to impersonate Him especially when God declare as follows; For my sake, even for my sake, I will do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another (Isaiah 48:11). This is exactly the reason
why God would never allow such impersonator to survive for a year as in
case of Hananiah, the false prophet (Jeremiah 28:1-17) talk less of
allowing such a so-called liar to survive for 23 years and his so- called fake words to survive since 1400 years ago till today.
