How Qur'an Logically Prove Itself To Be Word Of God by Abdulgaffar22: 2:11am On Sep 25, 2023
HOW QUR'AN LOGICALLY PROVE ITSELF TO BE WORD OF GOD

While Muslims believe that Qur'an is the actual word of God dictated to prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through an Angel Gabriel, majority of the Non-Muslims believe that Qur'an was fabricated by prophet Muhammad (pbuh).


Some people assert that he was taught by one or more secret human teacher(s).


Again, some people believe that he was crazy.

Yet some people even go to an extent of saying that Qur'an was inspired by Satan.


These are the four common alternatives that non -Muslims usually put forward to explain the origin of the Qur’an since they insist that the book was not revealed by Almighty God; the very reason why they refuse to accept Islam.


Of course, if the Non-Muslims sincerely believe in God and sincerely believe that Qur'an is the final and the latest word of God revealed for the guidance of humanity, then what is keeping them away from Islam ?

Now, let us analyze these four possible alternatives one by one.


Is it possible that Qur’an was deliberately fabricated by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ?


It is a well known fact that he can neither read nor write. But wait !!!
Is there any irrefutable logical evidence to support this fact ? Yes there is. Just exercise patience, read to the end and not quickly jump into conclusion.

Qur’an 29:48
says;

“Neither did you (O Muhammad) read any book before this Qur’an, nor did you write any book with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted.”


Again Qur'an 7:157
says;

"Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write........."

Now If the contents of these verses are not true and the prophet could actually read and write, how could he have comfortably called himself illiterate in these verses of Qur'an especially in the presence of his close relatives and friends who knew him very well for good forty years before his declaration as a prophet of God?

Would you lie to your close relatives and friends about the matter you know they are well acquainted with ? Certainly not !

In fact, the thought of launching such an easily-refutable lie (that he was an illiterate) in the midst of his close relatives and friends would never have crossed his mind for a moment if truly he was able to read and write.


Now having accepted that he was truly an illiterate who can neither read nor write, then how could he have allegedly fabricated many verses and allegedly plagiarized the Bible and then come up with such an eloquent book like Holy Qur’an?


Before he could come out with any fabricated verses or plagiarized verses of the Bible and then reciting it to the hearing of his companions directly from his memory, he must have;

1. Jotted down some points to be included in those verses

2. Constructed the verses,

3. Edited and arranged the verses in order,

4. Memorized them and

5. Rehearsed the recitation many times in his private room


Yet all these activities would be impossible for an illiterate person.


Furthermore, is it possible for the prophet to have a secret human teacher who assisted him to fabricate the Holy Qur’an since he could neither read nor write? But how can that human teacher be kept in secret for good 23 years (duration of Qur'anic revelation) and remain hidden from his immediate family and his companions who believed in him as a true prophet of God ?


Besides, the existence of such human teacher (who allegedly and secretly fabricated Qur'an for him) cannot ruled out the need for prophet's ability to read and write. This is because the fabricated verses must again be secretly read, revised, memorized and rehearsed in his private room before coming out to recite such verses to his companions directly from his memory ; something that is again impossible for an illiterate person.


Therefore, the problem of the prophet's inability to read and write still remain unresolved for those who want to insist or maintain that Qur'an is a word of a human being.


In fact, there are some events which completely refute the idea of Qur'an being fabricated and composed by human being. For example, there was a certain instance when the prophet was rushing in his attempt to grasp the revelation dictated to him by Angel Gabriel. He was in haste and he did not allow the Angel to finish before he would start his own recitation.
Therefore, God commanded the prophet as follows;


*Do not move your tongue to hastily memorize the revelation. It is for Us (God) to gather the Qur’an in your chest and to give you the ability to recite it. Therefore when We have recited it to you, follow its recitation. Then it is for Us (God) to make the Qur’an clear to you (Qur’an 75:16-19).


"....... And be not in haste (O Muhammad SAW) with the Quran before its revelation is completed to you, and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge." (Qur'an 20:114)

See the great confidence established for the prophet in the first verse of Qur'an cited just above ! That is to say, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) should stop rushing in an attempt to memorize the verses of the Qur'an because it is the duty of God Almighty to give him the ability to read the Qur'an from his memory and again it is the duty of God Almighty to make some clarifications to prophet Muhammad (pbuh) concerning some verses in the Qur'an which were not yet clear to him.

Where did this confidence come from ?

Just think carefully over this matter. How can an illiterate person deliberately lied against God in his book and still wrote again that the same God has promised him to give him the ability to read that book from his memory and again God has promised to make some clarifications regarding some verses which were not clear to him in a book that he himself fabricated against God ?

Does this make any sense to you ?

What do you think is going to happen suppose he could not remember a great portion of the verses while he has already declared that God has promised to give him the ability to read it from his memory ?
Would he not then be subjecting his declaration as a prophet of God to a risk and putting himself in a very tight corner ?

Can a person who deliberately lied against God put such a great confidence in the same God ? Certainly not !

Honestly, if the Holy Qur’an was fabricated by the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or taught by any human teacher, all the verses above-

1. Commanding him not to be in haste,

2. Asking him to listen carefully,

3. Giving him confidence over the ability to recite the Qur’an directly from his memory, and

4. Yet promising him to make some clarifications regarding some verses which were not yet clear to him.

-would not be found on the pages of the Qur’an.

God Almighty declared as follows;


"Or do they say : "He has invented a lie against God ?" If God willed, He could have sealed your heart (so that you forget all that you know of the Qur'an). For God wipes out falsehood, and establishes the truth by His Word. Verily, He knows well what's inside the people's minds (Qur'an 42:24)"
That is to say God knows well what is inside the people's minds regarding their thinking about the origin of Qur'an.


Looking at it from another angle, before any one can just decide to engage in a very great evil deed like deliberately forging a lie against God in order to achieve some worldly gains or benefits, then the evil of his actions must have been appear to be good or fair in his own eyes. In other words, he must have been greatly deceived by his own mind. This is exactly the true state of minds of those that usually engage in perpetrating great evil deeds. They continue to engage in bad deeds because they are yet to know or realize that such evil deeds were only made to appear good or fair in their own eyes.


Now the question is ; if prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was truly one of those people that engage in such a great evil deed like deliberately forging a lie against God for the love of worldly pleasures, then how could he have known about this very concept and made mention of it in his book ?

See how this concept is paraphrased in the verse of the Qur'an cited below ;


"Can he, who is on a clear evidence from his Lord, be like one whose evil deed was only made to be good in his own eyes. And yet they follow their vain desires (Qur'an 47:14).


This verse can be reiterated as follows ;

"can a true prophet of God (who is on a clear evidence from his Lord) ever be like a false prophet ( whose evil deed was only made to be good in his own eyes) ?"


If prophet Muhammad (pbuh) knew very well about this very concept and still went ahead to engage in such a great evil deed like deliberately forging a lie against God, then would he not be knowingly fooling himself ?


Even, if we costly assume that he didn't know about this very concept by the time he allegedly decided to forge a lie against God, but later knew about it from one of his people. Then, there is completely no way he could have introduced such [/b]a discouraging and self-reproaching concept[/b] in his book especially after realizing that he would also be among those people whose evil deeds were only made to be good or fair in their own eyes.


Or is it possible for this concept to be secretly inserted into the Qur'an by someone else after the death of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ?


Of course, it is not possible. This is because if the concept is really talking about the people whose evil deeds were made to be good in their own eyes, then how could a perfect knower of this concept now decided to join this set of people by engaging in evil deed of inserting a falsehood into a book that people believed to be the word of God ?


From any perspective you think about it, the presence of this very concept in the Qur'an is enough to prove that the book could not have been a lie deliberately fabricated against God.

God Almighty declared ;

" Do they not think deeply over the Qur'an or their minds have been locked up (i:e from understanding it to be a divine book) (Qur'an 47:24)"



Furthermore, is it possible that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was crazy to the extent that such craziness made him to be a pathological liar (rather than a deliberate liar) against God ?


Before that craziness would be manifested to the extent of causing him to call himself a prophet of God and boldly lying against God, it must have been detected and reported by his immediate family, and there would be no way to believe in him as a true prophet of God.


Even if we assume that his immediate family managed to hide the secret from the public, there is no way for such craziness to escape the notice of the companions of the prophet who always stayed with him and believed in him as a true prophet of God to the extent of dying as a martyr on the battle field.

Besides, how can a crazy author come up with such a clear and meaningful book like Holy Qur’an?



Finally 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 seek refuge and protection with God against him?

Does this make any sense to you?

If Satan can really give such a divine command, then he has indeed oppose and divided against himself !

However, some people may want to stretch their imaginations far enough to assert that Satan is just that tricky and he can go to any length in order to achieve his aim.

But only the hypocritical Christians would make such a claim, for the Bible reads ;

"And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come (Mark 3:26)."

Therefore, Qur'an could not have inspired by Satan if Qur'an 16:98 truly ask the Muslims to seek refuge and protection with God against Satan before starting its recitation.


Since all the four possible options that Non-Muslims usually put forward to explain the origin of Qur'an has been nullified, the only option which remain is that Qur'an is the actual word of God revealed to prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through an angel Gabriel.


Therefore, if the Holy Qur'an is the final and the latest word of God that came after the Bible, then all sincere Jews and Christians (who truly and sincerely believe in God) are expected to embrace Islam just like all citizens of a country are expected to give preference for the latest currency notes issued in that country over the old currency ones.

Hello Mallam Abdulgaffar22

If you had been going through my posts, I you wouldn't make these silly claims


Unfortunately for you Sir, I the Qur'an actually have am the signature of a 7th Century Arabian man

1. Mohammed was indeed litererate!

Evidence:
1. Historical Possibility
Mohammed was more or less the hired manager of Khadija's business AND he was found trustworthy with her trades and money. This task is suitable for one who can keep record of transactions and relay them out whenever needed.
2. What some Islamic Scholars says about Mohammed's illiteracy
The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) was never illiterate but was from Umm Al-Qura which is one of the names of Makkah, that is why he was called as Ummi.
https://www.al-islam.org/ask/was-it-the-case-that-our-prophet-muhammad-pbuh-was-illiterate-what-is-the-difference-between-illiterate-and-unlettered

Definition of “Ummi”
However, according to Edward Lanes Lexicon, the classical Arabic term ‘Ummi’ refers to a gentile or someone who is not familiar with the Law of Prophet Moses. It is not necessarily someone who is illiterate.

https://medium.com/uncorrupted-islam/prophet-muhammad-196e312f82e5

Finally,
Evidence from the hadiths showed that even though Mohammed had secretaries who helped him in writing, he himself could read and write.


2. Errors that should not get made by God is made in the Qur'an

1. Allah allowing Prostitution in the Qur'an
2. Allah saying that a woman's reproductive fluid come from between her rib and back bone
3. Alkah saying that the sun set in some murky waters
4. Allah including in his Qur'an ficticious Jewish Children bedtime story of Solomon who could talk with Ants and Animals
5. Alkah saying that king Solomon died for almost a year a no one knew

3. The Qur'an was also to serve the Cause of Mohammed

1. Allah justifying Mohammed marrying the wife of his adopted son Zaid.
2. Mohammed not limited to four wives but practically every Muslim woman

4. The Morality of Mohammed shows that he cannot be a Representative of God
a. Marrying a prepubescent girl at the age of six and consummating the marriage at the age of 9.
b. Keeping with married captured women without waiting for waiting period to be over
c. Kissing the Black stone

5. The Satanic Verses
1. If satan can dictate the Qur'an to Mohammed and he never knew, I how are we sure that the rest of what he wrote is not from satan.
2. Is it untrue that Mohammed was reported to be under the influence of satan for almost one year and was imagining things not true?

6. Stories told were acknowledged by Arabians as tales of old (nothing from God)




If you dispute any of these, I will present you more Evidences?
