The Miraculous QURAN
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about water cycle ?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known in detail the various stages of development from which an embryo grows into a baby and then enters the world from inside his mother?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the universe is "steadily expanding," as the Qur'an puts it, when modern scientists have only in recent decades put forward the idea of the "Big Bang"?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about the fact that each individual's fingertips are absolutely unique, when we have only discovered this fact recently, using modern technology and modern scientific equipment?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about the role of one of Pharaoh's most prominent aids, Haman, when the details of hieroglyphic translation were only discovered two centuries ago?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the word "Pharaoh" was only used from the 14th century B.C. and not before, as the Old Testament erroneously claims?
Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known about Ubar and Iram's Pillars, which were only discovered in recent decades via the use of NASA satellite photographs?
Howcome nobody in the entire history of mankind could write a 604 pages book which can be learnt by heart by any 7year old kid even when he dosent know that language ?
The Qur'an, this extraordinary book which was revealed to the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (saas), is a source of inspiration and true knowledge. The book of Islam-no matter what subject it refers to-is being proved as Allah's Word as each new piece of historical, scientific or archaeological information comes to light. Facts about scientific subjects and the news delivered to us about the past and future, facts that no one could have known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, are announced in its verses. It is impossible for this information, examples of which we have discussed, to have been known with the level of knowledge and technology available in 7th century Arabia.
Prominent scholar Dr. Hamidullah tells of an effort in Germany by the Christian scholars to gather all the Greek manuscripts of Bible as the original Bible in Aramaic is extinct. They gathered all manuscripts in the world and after examining them reported: “Some two hundred thousand contradictory narrations have been found… of these one-eighth are of an important nature.
” When the report was published, some people established an Institute for Qur’anic Research in Munich with the goal of examining Qur’an the same way. A gigantic research project was started that continued for three generations.
By 1933, 43000 photocopies of Qur’anic manuscripts had been collected. A report published shortly before World War II showed the results of the examination of these manuscripts. While some minor mistakes of printing/calligraphy were found, not a single discrepancy in the text had been discovered!
So in Short the Glorious Quran is:-
1. INIMITABLE
it dares you to disprove it... how? It says that humans cannot write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help from spirits. The Qur'an said this 1400years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written... But not a single like Qur'an.
2. INCORRUPTIBLE
it is the only religious sacred writing that has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Qur'an has been kept intact. Nothing has been added to it; and nothing has been taken away from it ever since its revelation was completed 1400years ago.
3. UNSURPASSABLE
The Qur'an is Allah's final revelation to mankind. Allah revealed the Torah to Moses, Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus and finally the Qur'an to Muhammed (S.A.W.W). Moses, David, jesus and Muhammad. No other book will come from Allah to surpass His final revelation.
4. INDISPUTABLE
The Qur'an withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophencie and it turns right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries prove that the Qur'an was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised in accordance with modern knowledge. The Qur'an alone is never contradicted by a newly discovered scientific fact.
5. YOUR ROADMAP FOR LIFE AND AFTERLIFE
the Qur'an is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life. The Qur'an also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the after-life. It is your roadmap showing way to paradise
6. GIFT OF GUIDANCE from ALLAH
Allah has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. ALLAH tells you why He made you, what He demands from you and what He has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to its manufacturer's specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner’ss manual for yourself? The Qur'an is from your maker. It is gift for you to make sure your function for success, lest you fail to function.
7. YOUR CALLING CARD TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR LORD
Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Qur,an tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of al life. The Qur'an tells us who Allah is, by what name what name v should address Him, and the way in which to communicate with Him
ARE THESE NOT SUFFICIENT REASONS FOR READING QUR'AN?
The only answer to these questions is as follows: the Qur'an is the Word of the Almighty Allah, the Originator of everything and the One Who encompasses everything with His knowledge. In one verse, Allah says, "If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it." (Qur'an, 4:82) Every piece of information the Qur'an contains reveals the secret miracles of this divine book.
The human being is meant to hold fast to this Divine Book revealed by Allah and to receive it with an open heart as his one and only guide in life. In the Qur'an, Allah tells us the following:
This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides Allah. Rather it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. Do they say, "He has invented it"? Say: "Then produce a sura like it and call on anyone you can besides Allah if you are telling the truth." (Qur'an, 10:37-38)
And this is a Book We have sent down and blessed, so follow it and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Qur'an, 6:155)
