The Holy Quran is the Divine Book - the miracle revealed to Muhammadfrom Allaah.
As Muslims, we say: "There is nothing worthy of worship except Allaah
and Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger." The Quran is a book that
could not have been compiled by any human being, nor could it have
been revealed by anyone but Allaah. Therefore, anyone who alleges that
Muhammadproduced the Quran is attributingdivinity to him, refusing to
acknowledge him as a Prophet and is virtually describing him as 'God'.
Allaah states in the Quran )what means(:"And you did not recite before
it ]i.e., the Quran[ any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your
right hand. Then ]i.e., otherwise[ the falsifiers would have had cause
for doubt."]Quran 29:48[
Muhammadwas unlettered. He never went to school and could not read or
write; in fact, there was no school in his town at that time.
Furthermore, the country he was born in had not known much of
civilisation or progress. How, then, could such aperson produce a work
like the Holy Quran? He came from a village surrounded by dark
mountains and the wilderness of the desert – a remote place, unheard
of at that time. No one in that village had any knowledgeof the
philosophy of Greece and Rome, or of the literature of Indiaand
Persia. It was a village, devoid of any academic tradition and
activity. There was no one there with even a minimum level of
education and knowledge.
The Holy Quran excels in both its literary values and its unique
treatment of law. It contains an entire legal system which is perfect
in every detail. As for the theology therein, and the knowledge of the
unseen, it givesinformation which is not known to anyone - information
which the human intellect is unable to perceive. It reveals laws and
phenomena on the subject of nature which were previously unknown, and
not only during the time of the Prophet- some of these laws were
discovered thirteen hundred years later, while others still remain
undiscovered.
The Holy Quran challenges all humanity. Humanity and jinn are asked
to produce ten chapters, orat least one, like the chapters of the Holy
Quran, but they failed to produce even one chapter, as Allaah Almighty
Says )what means(:"Or do they say: 'He ]i.e., Muhammad[ invented it.?'
Say: 'Then bring ten chapters like it that have been invented and call
upon ]for assistance[ whomever you can besides Allaah, if you should
be truthful.'"]Quran 11:13[
There are more facts and information that still remain undiscovered,
yet are written about in the Holy Quran. Every now and then scholars
extract new information from it, and contribute to human knowledge in
general and to the better understanding of Islam in particular.
Faith in other revealed books
Muslims believe in the Holy Quran and all the other revealed Books
mentioned in it. These are: the Scrolls )of Ibraaheem(, the Psalms
)revealed to Prophet Daawood(, the Torah )revealed to Moosa( and
theGospel )revealed to 'Eesaa(.
The Holy Quran was revealed to confirm the true and original message,
as well as to expose the distortions made to the earlier messages;
Allaah Says )what means(:"And We have revealed to you, ]O Muhammad[,
the Book ]i.e., the Quran[ in truth,confirming that which preceded it
of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. …"]Quran 5:48[
We therefore believe in the other revealed books where they tie in
with what is said in the Holy Quran but reject all that is contrary to
it.
1- The Scrolls of Ibraaheem
Allaah informs us about what is mentioned in the Scrolls of Ibraaheem
and is repeated in the Scrolls of Moosaa; Allaah, the Most Exalted,
Says )what means(:"That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of
another."]Quran 53:38[
The Quran refers to the Scrolls of Ibraaheemin the verse )which
means(:"But you prefer the worldly life, while the Hereafter is better
and more lasting. Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, the
scriptures of Ibraaheem and Moosaa."]Quran 87:16-18[
2- The Psalms )Zaboor(
Allaah Says )what means(:"…And to Daawood We gave the book ]of
Psalms[."]Quran 4:163[
It was mentioned in the Psalms that the righteous will inherit
theearth. Allaah Almighty Says in the Holy Quran )what means(:"And We
have already written in the book ]of Psalms[ after the ]previous[
mention ]i.e., the Torah[ that the righteous will inherit the
earth."]Quran 21:105[
The earth in this verse may perhaps mean Paradise, as is understood
from another verse )which means(:"And they will say: 'Praise to
Allaah, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the
earth ]so[ wemay settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is
the reward of ]righteous[ workers.'"]Quran 39:74[
3- The Torah
The Torah is also a book revealed by Allaah. It contained guidance for
people as well as Divine commandments; Allaah Says )what means(:"But
how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the
Torah, in which is the judgement of Allaah?..."]Quran 5:43[
He Almighty also Says )what means(:"Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in
which was guidanceand light."]Quran 5:44[
And among the Divine commandments it contained were, as Allaah informs
us in the Quran )what means(:"And We ordained for them therein ]i.e.,
inthat Torah[: a life for a life, an eyefor an eye, a nose for a nose,
and an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal
retribution …"]Quran 5:45[
The Torah also contained glad tidings about the coming of our Prophet
Muhammad. Allaah Says )what means(:"Those who follow the Messenger,
the unlettered prophet, whom they find written ]i.e., mentioned[ in
what they have of the Torah…"]Quran: 7:157[
The Torah described the believers, as Allaah gave reference in the
Quran Saying )what means(:"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; and
those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful amongst
themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating ]in prayer[, seeking
bounty from Allaah and ]His[ pleasure. Their mark ]i.e., sign[ is on
their faces ]i.e., foreheads[ from the trace ofprostration. That is
their description in the Torah..."]Quran48:29[
4- The Injeel )Gospel(
Regarding the Injeel, Allaah Says )what means(:"…And We gave him
]i.e., 'Eesaa Son of Maryam[ the Gospel, in which was guidance and
light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah…"]Quran 5:46[
Allaah also confirms that the Injeel contained Divine Laws by Saying
)what means(:"And let thepeople of the Gospel judge by what Allaah has
revealed therein."]Quran 5:47[
We are also informed that the Injeel comprises the amended laws of the
Torah; Allaah Says )what means(:"And ]I have come[ confirming what was
before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was
forbidden to you…"]Quran 3:50[
The Injeel, like the Torah, conveyed glad tidings of the advent of
Muhammadand a description of the believers. Thus,we believe in all the
books that the Almighty has revealed and werespect all the prophets,
may Allaah exalt their mention, and believe that the only one of all
Divine Books that remained preserved in its original form is the
Quran.
