Prophet was supported with a miracle)s( and upon his death it
disappeared, except Prophet Muhammadwhose miracle remained, preserved
and protected, namely the Book of Allaah, His divine revealed Word.
Allaah Says )what means(:"Falsehood cannot approach it from before it
or from behind it."]Quran 41:42[
Allaah clearly stated that the Quran is His Word, Saying )what means(:
"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant
him protection so that he may hear the words of Allaah ]i.e. the
Quran[."]Quran 9:6[, and in His Saying )which means(:"Those who
remained behind will say when you set out toward the war booty to take
it, 'Let us follow you'. They wish to change the words of
Allaah."]Quran: 48:15[ These two verses prove that the Quran is the
Word of Allaah and that He sent it down to Prophet Muhammad.
The Sunnah of the Prophet )his sayings( further proves this fact;
Jaabirnarrated: "The Prophetused to offer his message to people during
the season of Hajj and say: "Is there a man who would take me to his
tribe )i.e. to convey the message to them(, because the )tribe of(
Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the Word of Allaah?" ]Ahmad &
At-Tirmithi[
There are many logical and substantial evidences proving this fact,
such as the inability of the polytheists to come up with one single
verse, let alone a whole chapter, that is similar to it. This is so,
despite their eagerness and ambition to prove the Prophetwrong in what
he was calling to, and their strong command of the Arabic language in
which the Quran was revealed. Undoubtedly, this is evidence that the
Quran is not made by or the words of humans.
The Quran contains news of past nations and other unseen matters which
serve as great proof that it is the Word of Allaah. When the Persians
defeated the Romans in battle, the Quran addressed the issue and
informed that the Romans would overcome the Persians in few years to
come as Allaah Says )what means(:"The Romans have been defeated )i.e.
By the Persians( in the nearest land. But they, after their defeat,
will overcome."]Quran 30: 2-3[
Furthermore, the Quran consists of scientific miracles by highlighting
certain scientific facts which were not discovered except fourteen
centuries later, such as the Quran proving that there is a barrier
between the salty water and fresh water where they meet preventing
them from mixing, as Allaah Says )what means(:"He released the two
seas )the two bodies of water: fresh and salt(, meeting ]side by
side[. Between them is a barrier ]so[ neither of them
transgresses."]Quran 55: 19-20[ Modern science discovered this to be a
fact.
The fact that tranquility and assurance can be found upon reading the
Quran which is not felt when reading any other book, is yet another
proof that it is the Word of Allaah, as Allaah Says )what
means(:"Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the
mention of Allaah. Unquestionably by the remembrance of Allaah hearts
are assured."]Quran 13: 28[
Furthermore, being cured by virtue of reading the Quran over a sick
person can be added to the list of evidences proving it to be the Word
of Allaah. Allaah Says )what means(:"And We send down of the Quran
that which is healing and mercy for the believers."]Quran 17: 82[
Lastly, the evidences proving the Quran to be the Word of Allaah are
too many to numerate in one article, and so we conclude with the
saying of Al-Waleed Ibn Al-Mugheerah, one of the leaders of the
polytheists who was requested to criticize and censure the Quran.
After hearing parts of it from Prophet Muhammad, salallaahu alayhi wa
sallam, he said: "What can I say? I swear by Allaah! There is no man
who knows poetry better than me, and it does not sound like anything I
ever heard. The only thing I can say is that it has sweetness to it,
and it is so appealing. It is so fruitful )to the heart( and abundant
)in its benefits(. Indeed, nothing rises above it in style, and it
surely destroys anything that challenges it." ]Al-Haakim & Al-Bayhaqi[
This is the Quran, the Word of Allaah, which confounds humans'
capabilities due to its inimitable style, justice and accuracy. The
Quran still challenges people and people remain incapable of
challenging it, and it remains the clear evidence from Allaah against
its enemies and opponents. All efforts to deny its authenticity have
failed.
