| Was Muhammad The Author of The Quran?
There are many islam-haters who insult Islam through allegation. Those people try to weaken Islam, but they never use scientific ways. One of the ways is to accuse The Quran as the creation of Muhammad instead of the Book of Allah. As their allegations are non-scientifically proven, those allegations can be rebutted as follow:
1. All historians have concluded that Muhammad is illiterate, he could neither read nor write. Therefore, how could it be possible for human with limited ability to write the book of which being admitted its greatness by many people.
2. God has warned him (Muhammad). If Muhammad dares to falsify the contents of The Quran. Allah has said:
تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ . وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ . لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ . ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ
“This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists). And if Muhammad had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah). We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might). And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta).” (Al-Haqqah: 44–46)
3. There are several verses in The Quran which include warnings to Prophet Muhammad. If The Quran were written by Muhammad, Muhammad would have not written any verses which include warnings to corner himself. As it is common for human to avoid any insults to their ownself.
4. In a few contents of The Quran, there are several predictions towards happenings and technology development in the future. It may be specifically and further reviewed in a different chapter. Among those theories is the theory of universe of which is still unapproachable by the development of the theories at the point of time. Meanwhile, no matter how great human ability is, he will not be able to predict something that is out of his mind.
5. Arabs have amazing ability in literature. However, there has been nobody who could write any books such as The Quran. Yet, they have put efforts of many people. Therefore, it is impossible for a man like Prophet Muhammad to have an ability of which is far above the ability of all experts in Arabic literature. In addition, Muhammad has never been known as an expert in Arabic literature.
The Attributes of The Quran
Allah has attributed The Quran with many of glorious characters. This shows that Allah has glorified The Quran. Among the attributes of The Quran are:
1. The glorious and exalted Book
Allah has mentioned:
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
“Verily we have given you (Muhammad) seven verses which are repated (surah Al-Fatihah), and the glorious Quran.” (Al-Hijr: 87)
Allah has also mentioned:
إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
“Indeed, that book is the glorious Quran.” (Al-Waqiah: 77)
Those show how The Quran is the book which is glorified and exalted by The Creator of this universe. He really praises The Quran and commanded His slaves to glorify and praise it.
Allah has said in the beginning of The Quran:
ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ
“This is the Book (The Quran), whereof there is no doubt.” (Al-Baqarah: 2)
This shows how great The Quran is. The conclusion which was placed in the beginning is the incredible statement: ” There is no doubt in it.” This is because all of them containassurance and truth. The truth of which will never be able to be rebutted. There has been no minor mistake in it, because this book came from the One the all-Knowing of this universe.
There is one history about someone who used to be Christian. One time, he wanted to learn The Quran. While he was opening the initial pages of The Quran, he was amazed by this verse. How dares a literature to initiate with such a strong statement of which claimed that there is no doubt in it.
3. There is no contradiction within verses.
Because The Quran was sent from Allah and He guaranteed that there will be no contradiction in it. All lessons direct to the standardized ones, of which contain truth. Allah has said:
وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا
“Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction.” (An-Nisa’: 82)
However, sometimes there are many peoeple who misunderstand several verses in The Quran, therefore they think that those verses contradict each other. They have not carefully reviewed it yet. Apart from that, sometimes there are verses of which the ruling was replaced by other ruling. Allah has replaced that ruling, because it is not relevant anymore at this time. This shows the harmony of The Quran with the history of human of which will never be stagnant.
4. The blessed book
One of the most outstanding attributes of The Quran is blessing. Allah has said:
وَهَذَا كِتَابٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَك مُصَدِّقُ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلِتُنْذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا
“And this (The Quran) is a blessed Book which We have sent down, confirming (the revelations) which came before it, so that you may warn the Mother of Towns (i.e. Makkah) and all those around it.” (Al-An’aam: 92)
Some of the blessings of The Quran are as follow:
a. Become the source of information of truth and revelation for human beings, because The Quran is the source of direction for human beings. Allah has said:
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ
“Month of Ramadan in which was revealed The Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs of guidance and the Criterion.”
b. A man who sticks to The Quran will be glorified by Allah, in the world and hereafter. As it is narrated from Umar bin Khatab, that one day the governor of Mecca, Nafi’ bin Abd Harits came to see Umar in ‘Asfan. Then Umar asked: “Who replaces your position in Mecca?” Nafi’ replied: “Ibn Abza, he was formerly a slave.” Then Umar was confused and said: “You pointed a former slave to lead Mecca?” Nafi’ answered: “He memorizes The Quran and he is well-versed in the heritance theories.” Then Umar said, “Previously the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
إن الله يرفع بهذا الكتاب أقواماً ويضع به آخرين
“Verily Allah has raised a group of people with this book (The Quran) and Allah has lowered other groups, because of this Book as well. ” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 817)
Imam Al-Qurtubi (one of Spanish scholars) said: “It means, Allah has elevated and glorified humans in the world and the afterlife. This is because the human has given attention to The Quran. The man reads, memorizes, and applies it. On the other hand, Allah has undermine a few people in the world because they have abandoned The Quran, they never learn Quran and never apply it."
5. It Can not be Falsified
This is the specialty of The Quran. At the time it was revealed till now, there has been nobody who are able to write the false Quran and be accepted in the whole world, because Allah has given a guarantee to preserve His book, until the end of this world. Allah has said:
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُون
“Verily we revealed Ad-Dhikra (The Quran), and we guard it.” (Al-Hijr: 9)
In fact, Allah has challenged all His slaves who believe in The Quran to create a book like The Quran. Allah challenged Jinn and all human beings. They helped each other to create a match for The Quran. However, until this minute, there has been nobody who can do it. Allah has said:
قُلْ لَئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا
“Say: If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.” (Al-Isra’: 88)
History has proven that till this minute, there has been no successful effort of human beings to challenge The Quran, to create a comparable match for The Quran. In the past, the arabic literature figures tried creating one surah to challenge The Quran. There was a false prophet named Musailamah, he created one surah that was similar to The Quran, one of them are as follow:
The first, to duplicate surah Al-Fiil:
الفيل ما الفيل وما أدراك ما الفيل له ذنب وبيل والخرطوم طويل …
The elephant, what is the elephant? Do you know what the elephant is? It has wide ears and a long nose …”
The original text of The Quran for surah al-Fiil:
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيل . أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ . وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
“Have you (Muhammad) not seeen how your God dealt with the owners of the Elephant? Did he not make their plot go astray (to destroy Ka’bah)? And He sent against them birds, in flocks,…”
The second, to imitate al-Kauthar
انا أعطيناك الجماهر ، فصلى لربك وجاهر ، ولاتطع كل ساحر
“Verily we have given you jamahir (followers). Therefore, perform prayer for your God and make it louder. And, do not follow (oblige) any witch…”
The original text of The Quran for al-Kauthar:
إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ . فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ . إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ
“Verily, We have granted you Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise). Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only). For he who hates you, he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter).” (Al-Kauthar)
While Musailah, the false prophet was reading the above verses (the imitation), all of a sudden, all people who saw and heard Musailamah the false prophet, laughed immediately. They thought that it was funny, and not The Quran. There was no one who believed The Quran that he brought, except his wife. Again, their efforts (Musailamah and his wife) failed to gain acceptance.
After that, there were some groups appeared. There were many people who tried writing the false Quran. However, their efforts were a failure, yet the false Quran of their version did not get any acceptance. Not long ago, Dr. Anis Shorrosh, the the American evangelist pastor, who claimed to be born in Nazareth, tried writing several new surahs and claimed them as The Quran. As a result, many people insulted and humiliated him.
He gathered the book in 77 surahs with a classic Arabic text of which the translation is in English. The book was offered with a price of $19.95, and it could be ordered from internet.
[size=24]The complete version of Shorrosh’ creation was once published in the SuraLikeIt website via American OnLine (AOL). However, because it created commotion and invited several critiques from US muslim groups, AOL then decided to ban the site. However, efforts to misdirect people keeps being diverted to the Islam in Focus site which has a vision of Truth in Crisis International.
This is the proof that The Quran is not the common book, nor the creation of human beings, but the book was sent from Allah the One the Exalted and the Most Glorious. Whatever efforts that human have will not be able to succeed forever.
