Who Wrote The Holy Quran"

Bismillah.

 

Who Wrote the Holy Quran"

-------------------------------------

 

 

Quran, in Arabic, could only have been written by ONE of 3

possible sources:

 

1 the Arabs

 

2 Mohammad (peace be upon him)

 

3 Allah (GOD)

 

(NOTE: The first part is not meant to be a rigorous proof. It is

something to ponder upon. However, the second part, about

Mohammad [pbuh] wrote it' contains more extensive proof.)

 

 

Besides the above mentioned sources, Quran couldn't possibly

have been written by ANYONE else.

 

No other source is possible, because Quran is written in pure,

rich, and poetic Arabic, which was not known to anyone other

than the above mentioned sources, at that time. The Arabic

language was at its peak in expression, richness, vocabulary,

artistic, and poetic value during the time the Quran was being

revealed. Anyone speaking the classical Arabic ( the Arabic of

Quran at the time it was revealed) would argue that a non-Arab

entity couldn't possibly have written such an extensive and

brilliant piece of literature in the Arabic language. Quran

could only have been written by an Arabic speaking entity. An

entity, who's knowledge, style, vocabulary, grammar, and way of

expression was so powerful that it impacted the entire Arabian

peninsula, the east, the west, and continues to impact people

all over the globe today!

 

At no other time, in the history of Arabic language, had it ever

achieved its peak in expression, literature, and development,

than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the time when

Quran was being revealed. At no other time in the history of

Arabic language had the language ever achieved its highest

potential than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the

time when Quran was being revealed. The language reached its

peak in richness, artistic value, and poetry, during that

time. With the Arabic language at its peak, and the best of

Arabic writers, poets present in Arabia, it is impossible that a

non-Arabic speaking entity would write a book like Quran and

have such a dynamite impact on the Arabs!

 

So only an Arabic speaking entity could have write Quran. With

that in mind, we're left with three choies:

 

 

1 - the Arabs wrote it

 

2 - Mohammad (pbuh) wrote it

 

3 - Allah (swt) wrote it

 

 

 

Lets examine the three choces one by one.

 

 

(1) Arabs Wrote it ? ---------------------

 

What Quran teaches goes DIRECTLY against the pagan Arab culture,

religion, and gods, that existed before the Quran was revealed.

Quran condemns idol worshipping, but the Arabs, loved their idol

gods, and worshipped them regularly. Quran raised the status

of women; the Arabs treated women next to animals. The Arabs

would never write something that goes against their most

important belief of idol worshipping. Quran goes against most

of the social habbits (such as backbiting, slandering, name

calling, etc) which the Arabs were heavily indulged into. For

example, the Arabs would call insulting nicknames such as Abu

Jahal (the father of ignorance). Quran condemns and prohibits

taking interest on money, whereas, the Arabs freely levied heavy

interest rates in loans and businesses. Quran condemns and

prohibits Alcohol drinking, whereas, the Arabs consumed alcohol

freely. The Quran condemns and prohibits gambling, whereas,

the Arabs were some of the worst gamblers. The Arabs would

never write something so comprehensively against just about all

of their customs and culture and religious beliefs, as the Quran

is.

 

During the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), the Arabs would

indulge in all the social habbits that the Quran condemns and

prohibits. How can Arabs then write something that would negate

their entire society's norms and ideologies ?

 

Did a group of Arabs or an individual Arab write Quran? Perhaps

a rebel Arab beduoin, or a society's misfit, or someone with

different ideals and norms decided one day to write Quran? The

answer to those questions are also 'no'. Because, if we read

Quran, we notice that there is no author ! No individual has

his/her name written on the cover of Quran! Anytime an

individual writes a book, he/she writes his/her name on the

cover. The author's name always appears on his/her book, and

there is always an author who is credited for writing that book.

No one in the history of the world has EVER claimed to have

written the Quran, nor anyone's name ever appeared in front of

the Quran as bein the 'author'. This is the only book in the

world without an author. No one in the world has ever been

accused of writing the Holy Quran, except the Prophet Mohammad

(peace be upon him), by non-muslims.

 

Quran has no author, and no group or individual in Arabia ever

claimed to have written it, nor any group or an indvidual

recited, taught, and explained Quran except the Prophet Mohammad

(pbuh) and his followers. The Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon

him) was the only Arabian who first practiced, explained, and

preached Quran, and ended up making a lot of Arab tribes

enemies. Any historian, Muslim or non-Muslim would argue that

the only possible source of Quran can be the Prophet Mohammad

(pbuh), the man responsible to recite it, teach it, and expalin

it to the people of Arabia. In fact, many historians today

still think that only Mohammad (pbuh) could possibly have

written it.

 

This leads one to conclude that the Prophet (pbuh) must have

written it !

 

 

(2) Mohammad (pbuh) wrote it ? ------------------------------

 

First, he was illiterate !! How can an illiterate person come

up with such a rich, poetic, intellectual, and inspiring text

that it rocked the entire Arabia ?

 

Mohammad (pbuh) never went to school ! No one taught him. He

had no teacher of any kind in any subjects. How can he have the

knowledge of all the science, astronomy, oceanography, etc that

is contained in the Quran ? ( For example, the mention of

ocean currents, stars, earth, moon, sun and their fixed paths in

Soorah Rahman; and many other scientific statements that are

found in Quran, that I cannot state in this short article)

 

When Quran was revealed, the Arabic language was at its peak in

richness, poetic value, literature, etc. Quran came and

challenged the best literature in Arabic, the best poetry in

Arabic of the time. Mohammad (pbuh) being illiterate couldnt

possibly have come up with something so immaculate that it even

exceded the best of poetry, and literature in Arabic at the time

of the language's PEAK development. Arabic language had never

been so rich in expression, poetic value, vocabulary, and

variety in literature, as it was in the time of Quran. At a

time like this, Quran came and exceeded the best of Arabic in

all aspects of the language: poetry, literature, expression,

etc. Any classical Arabic speaker would appreciate the

unbeatten, unchallenged, and unmatched beauty of the language of

Quran.

 

An illiterate man is simply not capable of writing such a book.

 

Mohammad (pbuh) had no reason to come up with something like

Quran, and cause the entire society of Arabia to become his

enemy. Why would he do something like that? Why would he write

something going against almost all of the norms of the society,

and lose his family, relatives, friends, and other loved ones ,

and not to mention all the wealth he lost ?

 

 

Quran was revealed over a period of 23 years ! A very long

time! Is it possible for someone to maintain the same exact

style of Arabic speech , as demonstrated in Quran, for over 23

years ?

 

Also, what the prophet Mohammad (saaw) used to say is recorded

in what we call his hadeeth (sunnah). If we look at the Arabic

style of the hadeeth, and compare it with the style of Quran, we

can clearly see that they are clearly DIFFERENT, and

DISTINGUISHABLE Arabic styles. The prophet (saaw) spoke in

public. It does not make sense that a man has two UNIQUE,

Distinguishable, and completely different styles of speech in

public. Yet another reason why Mohammad (saaw) couldn't

possibly have written Quran.

 

Quran was revealed over a period of 23 years ! A very long

time! Is it possible for someone to maintain the same exact

style of Arabic speech , as demonstrated in Quran over 23 years

?

 

Here's what our famous Muslim Scholar, Ahmad Deedat said:

 

[From Ahmed Deedat]

 

WAS QURAN WRITTEN OR INSPIRED? ------------------------------

 

 

"Behold! The angels said: "O Mary! God has chosen you and

purified

you - Chosen you above the women of all nations."

Qur'an-3:42

 

 

THE SOURCE OF HIS MESSAGE

 

"Chosen you above the women of all nations." Such an honour is

not to be found given to Mary even in the Christian Bible!

...........

Knowing full-well, and believing as we do, that the whole Quran

is the veritable Word of God, we will nevertheless agree, for

the sake of argument, with the enemies of Muhammed (pbuh) for a

moment, that he wrote it. We can now expect some cooperation

from the unbeliever.

 

Ask him, "Have you any qualms in agreeing that Muhammed (pbuh)

was an Arab?" Only an opinionated fool will hesitate to agree.

In that case there is no sense in pursuing any discussion. Cut

short the talk. Close the book!

 

With the man of reason, we proceed. "That this Arab, in the

first instance, was addressing other Arabs. He was not talking

to Indian Muslims, Chinese Muslims, or Nigerian Muslims. He was

addressing his own people - the Arabs. Whether they agreed with

him or not, he told them in the most sublime form - words that

were seared into the hearts and minds of his listeners that Mary

the mother of Jesus -A JEWESS- was chosen above the women of all

nations. Not his own mother, nor his wife nor his daughter, nor

any other Arab woman, but a Jewess! Can one explain this?

Because to everyone his own mother or wife, or daughter would

come before other women.

 

Why would the Prophet of Islam honour a woman from his

opposition! and a Jewess at that! belonging to a race which had

been looking down upon his people for three thousand years? Just

as they still look down upon their Arab brethren today.

 

 

SARAH AND HAGAR

 

The Jews get their cock-eyed racism from their Holy Bible, where

they are told their father, Abraham, had two wives -Sarah and

Hagar. They say that they are the children of Abraham through

Sarah, his legitimate wife; that their Arab brethren have

descended through Hagar, a "bondwoman", and that as such, the

Arabs are inferior breed.

 

Will anyone please explain the anomaly as to why Muhammed (pbuh)

(if he is the author) chose this Jewess for such honour? The

answer is simple - HE HAD NO CHOICE - he had no right to speak

of his own desire. "IT IS NO LESS THAN AN INSPIRATION SENT DOWN

TO HIM." (Qur'an, 53:4).

 

 

SURA MARYAM

 

There is a Chapter in the Holy Quran, named Sura Maryam "Chapter

Mary" (XIX) named in honour of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ

(pbuh); again, such an honour is not to be found given to Mary

in the Christian Bible. Out of the 66 books of the Protestants

and 73 of the Roman Catholics, not one is named after Mary or

her son. You will find books named after Matthew, Mark, Luke,

John, Peter, Paul and two score more obscure names, but not a

single one is that of Jesus or Mary!

 

If Muhammed (pbuh) was the author of the Holy Quran, then he

would not have failed to include in it with MARYAM, the mother

of Jesus, his own mother - AMINA, his dear wife - KHADIJA, or

his beloved daughter - FATIMA. But No! No! this can never be.

The Quran is not his handiwork!

 

Another Muslim writes:

ARTICLE---

 

From: Abu Abdullah; Subject: Re: Mohammad Wrote the Quran ??

[KORAN] Date: Sat, 05 Aug 95 12:44:14 EDT

--------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I was reading about the charge that the prophet, Mohammed

(pbuh), has written the Quran himself. Before you go any further

in reading this post, please ask yourself whether you are a

honest truth seeker or just another argumentative person, if the

former, continue, otherwise, save your time and jump to the next

post.

 

Islam is based on faith that is supported by a number of

strong miracles such as knowing what events to take place

ahead of time or coming up with supernatural deeds in front of

people. The holy Quran has these signs and much more. First, The

holy Quran predicted many events to take place ahead of the time

of the revelation of that verse; for example, predicting the

destruction of Persian empire at a time where the later had a

monumental victory over Rome. If the prophet, as some people

claim, has written the Quran, then he would have put his future

in real jeopardy (50% chance) since neither satellite photos nor

on-ground intelligence personnel were available to him at the

revelation time. Further, numerous details about many natural

phenomena were detailed in the Quran and, until recently, they

were proven by experts to be amazingly accurate. For example of

the physical development of the fetus inside the womb along with

timing given by many verses matches exactly what leading

authorities in Embryology are claiming to be recent

discoveries. Moreover, verses that gives descriptions about the

creation of the universe and the function of mountains in

balancing earth and many other descriptions/explanations are

available to be read and to be understood. If the prophet was

the author, wouldn't he be prone to make weak inferences similar

to those who claim that earth is square and whoever says

otherwise should be killed?

 

The prophet also has demonstrated many supernatural

miracles not by his own power, but by the power of the

creator. He went to Jerasalem back in one night and gave a

detailed description of the carnival that was traveling on that

route and also specific accedint happend to them at that noght

(in those days, it takes a month or so for a round-trip). In

another ocasion, he provided water for an entire army from a

small plate between his hands. There are many other miracles

that require serious truth seeker to read about and to think

about it.

 

From the above, it reasonable to conclude that the Quran is

not the

PROPHET CREATION. HE HAD NO WAY TO PREDICT ALL THESE EVENTS AND

TO BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN KNOWING THAT THE

PROPHET HIMSELFE WAS ILLITERATE !!!

Embryology and Life Sciences in Quran

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

"The Developing Human. Clinically Oriented Embryology"

K.L. Moore

 

5th Edition, Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders Co. (1982) ISBN

07216 4662-X $33.95

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

The work by Prof. Keith Moore is probably the most detailed

study of the subject. Prof. Keith Moore is Professor and

Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, University of Toronto.

 

His books on anatomy and on embryology are used at many medical

school as standard instruction books. The Yale Medical school

uses both his books. The Yale Bookstore phone number for

Medical books is: (203) 772-2081. Their general information

number is (203) 432-4771. (New Haven, Connecticut)

 

 

He is *the* authority on embryology. I strongly recommend the

latest edition of the latter book as it mentions how accurately

the Qur'an describes embryo development.

 

Prof. Moore has said:

 

"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify

statements in

the Qur'an about human development. It is clear to me that

these statements must have come to Muhammed from God or Allah

because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until

many centuries later. This proves to me that Mohammed must

have been a messenger of God or Allah."

 

 

Prof. Marshal Johnson, Professor and Chairman of the Department

of Anatomy and Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute, Thomas

Jefferson University, Philadelphia

 

He says:

 

"The Qur'an describes not only the development of external

form but emphasizes also the internal stages -- the stages

inside the embryo of its creation and development, emphasizing

major events recognized by contemporary science.... If I were

to transpose myself into that era, knowing what I know today

and describing things, I could not describe the things that

were described. I see no evidence to refute the concept that

this individual Mohammed had to be developing this information

from some place, so I see nothing in conflict with the concept

that Divine Intervention was involved...."

That leaves us to our third option: God wrote it !

 

 

May Allah Guide Us All to Straight Path. Ameen.

 

QURAN: Chapter 4, Verse 82:

 

"Do they not consider (ponder) on the Quran?

If it had been from anyone except Allah, they would

surely have found in it much discrepency

(contradictions)."

 

 

 

ALLAH CHALLENGES:

 

Still unsure or doubtful ? Quran is the word of Allah. Allah

challenges to His creations:

 

Chapter 2, Verses 23 & 24

 

2: 23. "And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed

to our servant, Then produce a Chapter like thereunto;

And call your witnesses or helpers besides Allah, If

you are true."

 

2: 24. "But if you cannot, and surely you cannot, Then fear

the fire Whose fuel is men and stones, Which is

prepared for those who reject."

 

 

Try reading and understanding the meaning with explanation of

the following verses also !
