Evidence that the Qur'aan is the Word of Allaah

My peace and blessing of Allah be upon you I am writting in hope that
you will be able to help me dissolve my dilema. I am apracticing
muslim woman ( 20 years old). I 'v moved to XXX 5 years ago. My
parents were never praticing muslims, but i've been thought about
Islam from my grandmother.
I've always been a believer in Allah . Until recently I did not know
how to perform prayers, however I decided that there is nobody here to
teach me so I had to do it myself.
With the help of Allah I learned how to perform them, also I started
wearing hijab. The problem I am writing withis that I've been seeing
this guy with whom I feel in love with. Unfortunatelyhe is not a
muslim, but also he does not belong inany faith. He does believe in
God I've been trying to convince him to join Islam and become part of
the only true religion, otherwise I cannot marry him. ( we've been
together for 3 years). What I cannot convince him is that Muhammad (
pbuh) is the messenger of Allah. He keeps asking me questions like "
How do you know that this is a word of God?, What if Muhammad just
made it up as if it is a word from God.Please tell me how to convince
him that Qur'an is a true word from none other but Allah and that
Muhammad is the Messenger. Please help He keeps saying that if we were
to get married he would not have a problemwith me continuing to
practice my religion. He is quite proud of me for starting to wear
hijab in society where it is not common.( I might be one of the only
people waaring hijab in this town,the beliefe in Allah gave me the
strenght to do it)I know that he would not have a problem with me
practicing my faith, but I would still like him to be amuslim. Even
though he is a great person and does not do anything bad. It really
hurts when I think that we cannot be together. Is it a major sin for
me to get married to him? There is a lot of people who do it.
Especially when there is no muslims around where I alive at all. There
is a lot of muslim women that do it. Would I be terribly punished if I
were to do marry him?
Praise be to Allaah.
Praise be to Allaah Who has made good dear to you; we ask Him to
increase you in guidance and faith, and to guide your parents to
practise Islam and adhere to its rulings.
With regard to the Quraanand the proof that it is theword of Allaah,
these are specious arguments whichwere put forward out of stubbornness
and arrogance by the first kaafirs to whom the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sent. Allaah refuted what they
said in many ways, proving their words to be false and pointing out
what was wrong with it. For example:
1- This Quraan is challengefrom Allaah to mankind and the jinn to
produce anything like it, but they were unable to. Then He challenged
them to produce only ten soorahs like it, and they were unable to.
Then He challenged them to produce something like the shortest soorah
in the Quraan, and they could not do it, even though those who were
being challenged were the most eloquent and well-spoken of mankind,
and the Quraan was revealed in their language. Yet despitethat they
stated that they were completely incapableof doing that. This
challenge has remained down throughout history, but not one person has
been able to produce anything like it. If this were the word of a
humanbeing, some people wouldhave been able to producesomething like
it or close to it. There is a great deal of evidence for this
challenge in the Quraan, for example, the aayah (interpretation of the
meaning):
Say: If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of
this Quraan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they
helped one another ;
[al-Israa 17:88]
Allaah says, challenging them to produce just ten soorahs:
Or they say, He (Prophet Muhammad) forged it (theQuraan). Say: Bring
you then ten forged Soorah (chapters) like unto it, and call
whomsoever you can, other than Allaah (to your help), if you speak the
truth!
[Hood 11:13 interpretation of the meaning]
Allaah says, challenging them to produce just one soorah:
And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are indoubt concerning
that which We have sent down(i.e. the Quraan) to Our slave (Muhammad),
then produce a Soorah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your
witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allaah, if you are truthful
[al-Baqarah 2:23 interpretation of the meaning]....

Is there any du’aa’ in the Sunnah for after one has completed the Qur’aan?

I hope that you can send me the du'aa' for completing the Qur'aan as
narrated in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him).
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no specific du'aa' narrated in the Sunnah forafter one has
completed the Qur'aan, or even from the companions of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or the well-known imams.
One ofthe most well-known du'aa's regarding this matter is the du'aa'
which is written at the end of many Mus-hafs and it attributed to
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him), but there
is no basis for attributing it to him. See Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn
'Uthaymeen,14/226.
The du'aa' after completing the Qur'aan is recited either after
completing it whilst praying, or when not praying. There is no basis
for reciting any du'aa' after completing it whilst praying. As for
reciting a du'aa' after completing it when not praying, it is narrated
that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) did that.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What
is the ruling on making du'aa' after completing the Qur'aan in night
prayers in Ramadaan?
He replied:
I do not know of any du'aa' for completing the Qur'aan in night
prayers inRamadaan, either from theProphet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) or from his companions. The most that has been
narrated concerning that is that when Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah have
mercy on him) had completed a reading of the Qur'aan, he would gather
his family and make du'aa'. This had to do with reading it outside of
prayer. End quote.
Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam, p. 354
Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd wrote a useful essay on this issue, at the end of
which he said:
From the quotations in thetwo previous sections we may draw the
following conclusion:
1 – Du'aa' upon completion of the Qur'aan in general:
The conclusion concerning this is as follows:
Firstly:
What we have stated above has to do with du'aa' upon completion of the
Qur'aan in general.
There is no proof that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) did that, rather the reports are either mawdoo' (fabricated)
or are da'eef (weak) with no other reports to strengthen them. It is
almost certain that there are no marfoo' reports concerning this
matter that can be relied upon, because the scholars who wrote
comprehensively about the sciences of the Qur'aan and the dhikrs to be
recited in connection with the Qur'aan, such as al-Nawawi, Ibn
Katheer, al-Qurtubi and al-Suyooti, did not narrate anything other
than what we have referred to above. If they had known of any reports
with stronger isnaads, they would have quoted them.
Secondly:
There is a saheeh report that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased
with him) said du'aa' when he completed the Qur'aan, and he would
gather his family and children for that, and that a number ofthe
Taabi'een followed him in that, as mentioned in the report of Mujaahid
ibn Jabr (may Allaah have mercy on them all).
Thirdly:
There is no suggestion in the texts of Imam Abu Haneefah and Imam
al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on them) that this is Islamically
prescribed.
What is narrated from Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) is
thatthis is not something that the people did, and that completing the
Qur'aan in night prayers in Ramadaan is not Sunnah.
Fourthly:
The view that it is mustahabb to make du'aa'after completing the
Qur'aan is what is narratedfrom Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on
him), as our Hanbali scholars narrated from him, and as was affirmed
by some later scholars of the other three madhhabs.
2 – Du'aa' following completion of the Qur'aan in prayer
This may be summed up as follows:
Firstly:
From what is quoted above, there is no one letter from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or from one of his
companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) to indicate that it is
Islamically prescribed to recite this du'aa' in prayer after
completing the Qur'aan, before or after bowing, whether that is done
by an imam or by one who is praying alone.
Secondly:
The closest we can find on this matter is what was quoted by the
scholars of our madhhab from the report from Imam Ahmad (may Allaah
have mercy on him), according to the report of Hanbal, al-Fadl and
al-Harbi, the isnaad of which we cannot find, about saying the du'aa'
forcompleting the Qur'aan in Taraweeh prayer before bowing.
According to another report narrated from him – the source of which is
not known – he allowed itin the du'aa' of Witr.
See Marwiyaat Du'aa' Khatm al-Qur'aan.
