The Holy Quran
The Holy Quran:-
The beauty of Islam lies in those things that are part of the religion and make Islam stand out.
Islam answers all the eternal questions that every human searches for its answers, where did I come from? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do? What would I expect if I did that?
Think about it, every device comes with its instruction manual, it will be more reasonable and appropriate that humankind have their own instruction manual and plan, their own guide book that answers their intellectual questions and guide them through the journey of life, and that’s what The Holy Quran do and more.
The Holy Quran elaborates the Glory of God Almighty (Allah) and the wonders of His creations, His mercy and His justice. The Holy Quran is not a scientific book or a history book, although it contains all of those and more. The Holy Quran is God’s gift to humankind, it answers all of the questions about life and asks you to look beyond this life as it is nothing more than a transient stop on your way to eternal life. Islam gives you a clear purpose and aim in life.
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 2 verse 30:- “I am appointing a viceroy in the earth”
Allah also says in The Holy Quran chapter 5 verse 56:- “And I did not create the unseen beings and humans but to worship Me.”
The Holy Quran is the original divine words of Allah, it is exactly the same today as it was revealed to The Prophet Muhammad PBUH, it was memorized and written by the companions of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, and Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to revise The Holy Quran word by word with Angel Gabriel, knowing that the answers we seek coming from Allah directly in an unchanged book gives solace and comfort.
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 15 verse 9:- “Indeed, We (The Royal We for glory) have bestowed the reminder from on high, and We will most surely preserve it.”
The linguistic and inimitable language of the Holy Quran is very different from the language of the prophet’s sayings, this demonstrate that The Holy Quran is not from the imagination of Prophet Muhammad PBUH as many doubters allege, the fact that the Holy Quran with its unique and inimitable language had been revealed to The Prophet Muhammad PBUH who was known to be illiterate is an ideal proof that he cannot be the author of The Holy Quran
. Those sincere people who search to reach for the truth when they hear The Holy Quran it touches their souls and hearts even though they don’t know what it means yet.
From the days The Holy Quran was revealed until today, the best Arab linguists and scholars, Muslims and non-Muslims have been marveled by the eloquence of the Holy Quran’s language. Its scientific evidence and divine wisdom gives it its uniqueness and beauty.
The Holy Quran has numerous scientific facts that have been only validated by modern science with no chance to be known before more than 1400 years ago. Furthermore, it is the only religious book that challenges humankind to think, ponder and reflect over everything. It provides a solution to many social issues that has been known to cause problems and chaos in society.
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 10 verse 24:- “Thus We (The Royal we for glory) detail the signs for people who reflect.”
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 10 verse 67:- “It is He who made the night for you, that you may rest therein, and the day allowing sight. Most surely in that are signs for people who hear.”
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 75 verse 36:- “Does man think that he will be left without purpose?”
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 23 verse 115:- “Did you think that we had created you in vain, and that to Us you would not be returned?”
The Holy Quran is free from any contradictions or errors despite the fact that it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH over a period of 23 years. It is preserved in its original Arabic language unlike other scriptures which have been changed, corrupted and distorted.
Some people claim that The Holy Quran was the work of Satan, if Satan authored it why would he curse himself and call himself the worst enemy of man?
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 35 verse 6:- “Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you”
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 36 verse 60:- “Indeed, for you he (Satan) is an evident enemy”
Why would Satan command that before reciting The Holy Quran one must seek refuge in Allah from him? Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 6 verse 98:- “So when you recite The Quran seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the outcast.”
It is not acceptable to think that Satan would ask people to be moral, to do good, to worship none but God, and even to not follow Satan himself.
The Holy Quran recorded facts about ancient times that were unknown in the time of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. It also has references to scientific wonders regarding the universe, physics, biology, embryology, geography, history, etc.
Examples of modern scientific discoveries mentioned in The Holy Quran:-
The lost city of Iram, The holy Quran chapter 89 verse 7
Mountains as stakes and stabilizers, The Holy Quran chapter 78 verses 6-7
The expanding universe, The Holy Quran chapter 51 verse 47
The Big Bang, The Holy Quran chapter 21 verse 30
Worker bees being female, The Holy Quran chapter 16 verse 68
The Quranic description of the development of the human embryo, The Holy Quran chapter 23 verses 12-14
All previous points clearly proves that Almighty Allah is the author and source of The Holy Quran, and the challenge and the falsification test remains open to anyone to disprove that The Holy Quran is not a revelation from Allah,
Allah says in The Holy Quran chapter 4 verse 82:- “Do they not ponder The Quran? For had it been from any other than Allah, they would have found in it much discrepancy.”
Allah also says in The Holy Quran chapter 2 verse 23:- “And if you are in doubt about what We (The royal we for glory) have bestowed upon Our servant from on high, then bring a single chapter of its like”
