Bismillah:

Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad is not the author of the Quran. God is the author. The following points bear the fact:

1. The Quran itself, at a number of places and in different ways, says it is from God. One of the claim runs thus: "This is indeed a Quran most honourable, a Book well-guarded...a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds." (56:77-80)

2. The Prophet did not claim credit for the Quran. Furthermore, the Quran claims: "This Quran is not such as can be produced by anyone other than God." (10:37)

3. The Prophet was illiterate. He was not a learned man or a philosopher.

4. The Quran took 23 years to complete. Had the verses of the Quran (6,666 altogether) been written by the Prophet, he would have needed editing, updating, etc. He did not have spell-check, thesaurus, etc. Yet all the information in the Quran is consistent and without discrepancies. The verses were taken down as dictate by the Prophet only once and no redrafting, editing or updating took place after that.

5. If the Prophet had written the Quran, he would not have made the challenges that are in the Quran, for fear that the learned Arabs and eminent poets of his time would have taken up his challenges and shamed him. "And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed (from time to time) to Our servant (Muhammad), then produce a chapter like thereunto..." (2:23)

6. If the Prophet had written such an inimitable Book of Information and Wisdom without resorting to consultation with prominent scholars and the best books from the best libraries in the world?! If he did this, it would surely have been known, since every move he made was known to people. The Prophet was a historical figure, not a mythological figure.

7. The Prophet was the busiest most active person in history. So how could he have found the time to write (even if he were educated) such a comprehensive and extensive Book of Guidance which would have needed years of seclusion and concentration to complete?

8. In Chapter 111, it is mentioned that Abu Lahab, one of the Prophet's uncles who was always against Islam, would never accept Islam. This Revelation came some ten years before the death of Abu Lahab. How could the Prophet have dared to write this chapter because all he (Abu Lahab) needed to do to prove that Quran was not the words of God, was to accept Islam dishonestly?

9. The Prophet was mentioned by name in the Quran only 5 times whereas Jesus Christ's name was (honourably) mentioned 25 times. Could the Prophet go to such an extent of honouring someone more than himself if he had written the Quran?

10. There is a chapter in the Quran entitled and dedicated to "Mary", the mother of Jesus Christ, while there is no chapter called, or dedicated to, the prophet's own mother, "Amina", or daughter, "Fatima", nor were their names mentioned in the Quran. Could this have happened if the Prophet was the Author of the Quran?

11. Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, is glorified in the Quran as "the choses lady above the women of all nations". Why would the Prophet glorify a woman he had never seen and one from another race, saying that she was chosen (by God) above all women, unless the formation of the verses had nothing to do with the Prophet's own authorship but that he only repeated what was inspired to him by God?

12. In the Quran, God is called "Allah" and (in arabic) he is also referred to by his attributes, like the Cherisher, the Merciful, the Almighty. There are 99 such attributes but none of these is "Abba" (father) by which the Arab Christians of the Prophet's time (and even today) refer to God. If the Prophet was the writer of the Quran, he would surely have used "Abba" as one of the names for God because of its familiarity and also because it was easier to say "Abba" than many of the attributes.

That was long man...its a plain and simple fact if you are Muslim that we believe that Allah dictated the verses of the Quran to the Angel Jibrael, and then the Angel Jibrael brought the message of 'Allah' down to Prophet Muhammad while he was meditating in the cave. This was the first revelation of his prophethood and his mission which was to deliver 'the final message of Allah': The Quran.

Allah did not physically write the Quran, and Prophet Muhammad is known to have been illiterate (I do not mean this badly, I am not insulting the Prophet S.A.W - he simply did not know how to read and write) - others/ his family and followers wrote down what he said. He would recite loudly what Angel Jibrael told him and a nearby scribe would quickly jot it down. In those days they were also blessed with amazing memories and so commited much of the Quran to memory as it was revealed.

The Quran was only compiled into a single book after the Prophet's death, so the message wouldn't be lost, from the recordings and memories of people.

I, as a Muslim, would say that Qur'an is God's true word. And I believe Al-Qur'an was sent down by God, not written by anyone else.

Thank you very much for the info, I was looking for summed up points that prove Qur'an as true word of Allah. And I got it.

Do not let the above answers dishearten you. It will always happen. You know why? Because this way they are proving the word of God once again:

"And We have made before them a barrier and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see. And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not: they will not believe. You can only warn him who follows the reminder and fears the Beneficent Allah in secret; so announce to him forgiveness and an honorable reward." (36:10-12)

God bless.

Attempting to build a logical or reason based case for a matter of faith and the supernatural, is never a way to win converts.

There exists no true proof for faith or the great faith based books. If there was, the vast majority of thinking, literate people around the world would belong to that one "proven" faith.

That is not the case. Eminent scholars exist in all the great religious traditions. None of them have been able to convince the world of their faith's correctness or authenticity using reason.

People who attempt this, build magnificent houses of cards. Upon logical, scientific, and factual scrutiny, these houses collapse.

Furthermore, if you think you are really on to something, you might choose your forum a little more wisely than Yahoo!Answers.

God didn't usually pick the bad guys as His prophets. Moses did kill someone, but he was defending someone else at the time. So no, God would not have chosen a person such as Mohammed as one of His prophets. The man was not one of the good guys, he mistreated slaves, was a murderer and torturer, married a 6-year old and had sex with her at 9, and face it, that's plain out child molestation. I don't care if he married her or not, a child who hasn't even reached puberty isn't ready for sex, its just criminal. Prophet??? No way, at least not a prophet of God. I'm sure he was working for something, but it wasn't God.

The answer to your question is NO. It is not the word of God and we do not accept it as such... The Prophet was illiterate and uneducated, that is a fact.. Why would God every use a man like that to do his work.. Married to a little baby girl??

The Quran contains God's words and Prophet Muhammad wrote down what God told him.

T20 was once announced in England due to the fact that county fits didn't convey the group to the stands. So if T20 takes over county cricket, who will have to be blamed? As a long way as International cricket is regarded, Yes, T20 is a risk. The attendance for the continuing BG Trophy scan sequence is appalling. Except for cricket puritans, folks pick T20 due to the fact that it's shorter, it's motion-packed, and so forth. Something critical demands to be performed, like regulating the quantity of T20's performed in any respect phases.

Well # 3 is correct-Mohammad was illiterate. But he was also a professional thug and a thief, not to mention that he murdered many hundreds of people. He killed his own people. He was an abominable character. Allah chose Mohammad to represent him. Only a fake god that never existed could do this. Mohammad made it all up.

(John 12:31) 31 Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

Your questions need to asked individually because they can not be answereed in entirity on one post. The founders of the Quran and the Bible started out as members of a joint family that is why the first 5 books of the Bible and the Quran are so similiar. Your people chose a rebellious way and were banished to the wilderness. We welcome you to read our Bible and learn the rest of the story.-------
