Those who claim that the Qur’an was written by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) have given him a different motive for doing so and can basically be divided into the following groups

- For Material Gain/ Power and Glory
- To Unite the Arabs or to morally reform them
- Epileptic Seizures or Self-Delusions

With Muhammad being perhaps the most well-documented man in human history, we can easily examine these claims and compare them to his life.

Firstly, the claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wrote the Qur’an is not new. His own people made this claim. In response, to this claim, God revealed the following:

Say: "It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is revealed unto me. Verily, I fear if I were to disobey my Lord, the torment of the Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)." Say: "If Allah had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have stayed amongst you a lifetime before this. Have you then no sense?" [Qur’an 10:15-16]

This verse is telling his critics to reflect on the fact that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) lived amongst them from forty (40) years before reciting the Qur’an to them while never showing any signs of inclination to poetry and themselves knowing that he was illiterate.

If he could not read or write, then where did these magnificent verses come from?
Also reflect on the fact that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) is commanded in the verses above to “Say” twice. This is a command to make a certain statement to the people. One can find this command “Say” 332 times throughout the Qur’an. In other places in the Qur’an he is ordered to “proclaim”, “Glorify Your Lord”, “Prostrate Yourself” etc. So we ask is this how a man talks to himself or writes a book?

Also one must consider the fact that even before his Prophethood Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was known amongst his people as “Al-Amin”, the trustworthy and the truthful. No one ever recorded a lie against him.
Many Western historians agree with this analysis:

"If a man like Muhammad were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness." -
George Bernard Shaw

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." -- Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY , New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc ., 1978, p. 33

"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him." - Diwan Chand Sharma, The Prophets of the East , Calcutta 1935, p. l 22.

"He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports." -- Bosworth Smith , Mohammad and Mohammadanism , London, 1874, p. 92.

"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?" - Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp. 276 -277

"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher." -
Annie Besant, THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD, Madras,1932, p. 4.

"His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad." - W. Montgomery Watt, MOHAMMAD AT MECCA, Oxford, 1953, p. 52.

So, we ask the reader to reflect on the following:
Is it logical to believe that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) who, until the age of forty and, as we mentioned earlier, was known to his people as al-Amin (The Trustworthy) and who is still admired even by Western scholars for his honesty and integrity, all of a sudden began to write a book that is unmatched in literary merit and that has not be matched by legions of the Arab poets and orators of the highest caliber throughout history?

Is it reasonable to say that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him), made a false claim and on that very falsehood trained thousands of individuals of outstanding character, integrity, and honesty who were able to establish the best human society that the world has ever known?

There's always this sleight of hand attempted when talking about the origins of the Quran. It is made to seem like the book was delivered fully written by an angel, when in actual fact it was delivered orally by Mohammed (over the course of 20 something years) and then subsequently written down. There is nothing spectacular about this process as this was the method many of those times used in producing books.

Those stupid people whey they call them self izala, wahabis, and salaf are very useless in Islam ....

They call everything bid'ah while they no know say no be PROPHET ( s.a.w) wrote the qur'an....
Is that not a bid'ah ??
Who ever wrote the qur'an commit bid'ah

Bleep izala Bleep salaf Bleep wahabis .....

They know nothing about bid'ah stupid set of Islam disorganizers

Read ( MOHAMMED VS THE PEOPLE )

Quran is a divine revelation to Prophet Muhammad. Quran was revealed to him by Angel Gabriel. The compilation or writing of Quran started during the reign of the second caliph, Umar and completed during Caliph Uthman's reign.

Prophet Muhammad did not write the Quran. It was revealed to him and memorized by him companions

All books are written by man. Whether you tag the book holy, religious, scientific, psychological or any other appendage that makes you sleep well at night. Quran is no better book than the thousand books that were written before or after it and as all things made by man it has either led to much destruction or more happiness depending on the side of the divide you choose to stand.

You are better that those you criticize. There are many bid'ah nowadays in Islam. Though, those who are condemning it are also doing it

Jazakallahu khairan.

As long you don't comment in the Islamic section for like seven days, it will disappear. For me, it's a meaningless text, the same way FTC(first to comment), likes, shares, karma, upvotes etc. have no meaning to me in real life. It's funny how people bother themselves over these stuffs.

sakaguchi:

he never learned how to write or read, he only read what's been revealed to him to the companions to write down, the Quran consists of the the previous prophets history and law and the one for him and his followers, that's why there are similarities in the books.

Na copy copy .

Jealousy

Envy

Hatred

And the love for power and domination pushed the illiterate terrorist suspect to concoct a book just to get followership like Christ of the bible.


Pls ooo I come in peace and Islam means peace. I no mentioned name oooo

jidamsel43:

How can we be certain of this since no one but Muhammad purportedly saw this angel.

It's so disheartening to see people are unlearned.

The best of mankind seeks knowledge.

Ask yourselves if your claims are based on hearsay and blasphemy, or you are well informed with fact before you start smearing Islam as well as misleading other people.

Don't be surprised that a lot of Muslims research on Christianity and other secular religions. But, can you confidently say if other religion devoters have also put such efforts to understand the Islamic doctrines.

Islam means peace. And the fascinating part of it is that there is no ambiguity of any forms in it as a religion of the Almighty - Believe in oneness of God and His messengers, pray to Him as the creator of heaven and earth; gives arms to the poor; and go to pilgrimage if you're opportune.
