Why do some non-Muslims think that Prophet Muhammad (saw) wrote the Qur'an?

Question

I don't get it, you know. Some people say that Muhammad (saw) is a false prophet and copied the Qur'an from the Bible and the Torah. Muhammad (saw) was illeterate, which means he could not read and write. So how in the world do some people think that Muhammad (saw) wrote the Qur'an himself?
Please answer this honestly, my friends.

SAW is the abbreviation of "sallallahu alaihi wasallam" which means peace and blessings be upon him...

Answer 1

Muhammad didnt write the Koran it been sent to him by revelation and that is the point why Allah wanted Muhammad to be illiterate so ppl wont claim in the future that the Koran was given to us by human when on the real it was given to us by Allah

Answer 2

Salaam you have replied your very own question. Allah despatched the Angel Jabril to Prophet Muhammad pbuh, to bare the recent revelation and alhamdulillah the prophet memorized all Arabic words and advised his close followers to jot down the very words of Allah (SWT). The Quran develop into performed in 22 years and the Quran is a e book of repeat and a e book of symptoms and warnings. each and every muslim who reads it keeps examining it repeatedly returned to remind him/her self, that previous civilization such because of the fact the human beings of Nuh, advert, Thamud, pharaoh and so on have been destroyed because of the fact devil (devil) over took them and misled them. The Prophet and his close better half set up the platform and beginning place of Islam. that's stated as the 5 Pillar of Islam. Shahada (faith), Salah (pray 5 cases an afternoon), Zakah (helping the needy), Swam (fasting for the period of Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). A muslim ought to persist with the 5 pillar of Islam and take different common jobs parallel to delight Allah. Peace my Brother

Answer 3

dear friend, islam has prohibited muslism from making picture, movies etc on prophet (ie duplication by anyway).
So you lost oppurtunity show movies on prophet and lost the oppurtunity to say your side story. This is what i call media lag, which is creating bad picture on whole muslim community as whole. Telling your side story.

Same way most muslims remain poor, because they cannot earn or use interest from the lended money. This is applicable for your business as well and you dont have oppurutnity to have current balance, overdraft, etc.

Answer 4

Jesus never wrote anything either. Nor did Buddha. We still have "their" texts though. Most revolutionary spiritual minds don't want their ideas written down, it tends to ruin them the second they hit the page.

Answer 5

Its just plain IGNORANCE! They're just drowned in their hate and deliberately ignore the true facts and sum ppl just wanna know truth from anti muslim sites like the one above copying n pasting.

Answer 6

Why do you keep witing saw after muhummad?

Answer 7

Because they do not understand Islam.

Answer 8

Maybe he spoke it and someone else wrote it down.

Muhammad claimed that the Qur’an was a series of revelations he received from Allah through the angel Gabriel. The inspirational experiences were described by Muhammad to be like a bell, clanging in his head, causing him to shake and sweat profusely. Qur’an 004.082 says, "Do they not consider and ponder the Qur’an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy and incongruity." Qur’an 085:021 says, "Nay this is a glorious Qur’an, (inscribed) on a Preserved Tablet." Qur’an 043:003 informs us that, "A Scripture Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Qur’an in Arabic. Further, 039:27 says, "We have coined for man in this Qur’an. (It is) a Qur’an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein)." The Qur’an is considered to be an exact replica of the "Eternal Tablets" which exist in heaven. (085:022)

Muhammad admitted to have also received revelations directly from Satan. Known as the "Satanic verses," al-Tabari records in his History under "Muhammad at Mecca" that "Satan Cast a False Revelation on the Messenger of God’s Tongue." Muhammad’s admission that, "I have fabricated things against Allah and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken." confirms that Muhammad was demon possessed.

The only person who attempted to write down all of the Qur’anic revelations while Muhammad was still alive was killed by order of Muhammad. According to the Hadith, Abdallah bin Sa’d became concerned that some of the phraseology didn’t sound godly, so he suggested enhancements. When Muhammad accepted his edits, Abdallah rejected Islam. He recognized that the Qur’an couldn’t be from god if he, a scribe, could copyedit it. Tabari V888:178 goes on to report that "When the Messenger entered Mecca he ordered that the following men should be killed... first among them was Abdallah bin Sa’d." Clearly Abdallah bin Sa’d knew too much.

Allah says the Qur’an was Arabic because "the Pen" wrote the Qur’an before man was created. Surah 046.002 says, "And before it the Book of Musa [Moses] was a guide: and this [Qur’an] is a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic language." And in 039.027 we find: "We have coined for man in this Qur’an every kind of parable in order that they may receive admonition. (It is) a Qur’an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard (against evil)." Surah 041.003 tell us that: "A Scripture Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Qur’an in Arabic, for people who have knowledge." Then in 041.044 we find that: "Had We sent this as a Qur’an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: ‘Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a foreign tongue, a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger) an Arab?’ Say (unto them, Muhammad): ‘It is a Guide to those who believe; and for those who do not believe it, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes)!’" There are problems with the Arabic theory, however. The oldest Qur’an fragments date to around 725 A.D. - a century after they were first recited. Arabic, especially in written form, is a recent phenomenon linguistically. Not only wasn’t it one of man’s earliest languages, it was derived from a language that predated it by at least 3,000 years, having evolved among Syrian Christians as a stylistic derivative of Aramaic in the 6th century A.D. There is no evidence that written Arabic even existed in Mecca until after the Qur’an was revealed. Therefore, it couldn’t have been the language of Allah if, as the Qur’an and Hadith attest, written scrolls were given to Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus prior to the time written Arabic was even conceived. Even then, the Qur’an is filled with many non-Arabic words and phrases, including the word "qur’an," which the Syrian Christians defined as "to recite" or "to preach." Arthur Jeffrey, in his book Foreign Vocabulary of the Qur’an devoted 300 pages to this study. One must wonder why these words were borrowed, as they refute the "pure Arabic" claim and put doubt on whether "Allah’s language" was sufficient to explain what he intended. Thus the assertion that the Qur’an is pure Arabic and was thusly written on "Eternal Tablets" in Heaven is false.

In addition, during the Qur’an’s first century, the emerging Arabic alphabet did not have diacritical points, and some of its letters were omitted. The text that Uthman canonized, if this actually occurred, was a bare consonantal text with no marks to show verse endings, to distinguish consonants, or vowels. And without them it is impossible to comprehend the intended meaning of the text.

Among other problems for the veracity of the Qur’an are the differing versions, even in Muhammad’s day. Bukhari’s Hadith reports: "Ibn Abbas asked, ‘Which of the two readings of the Qur’an do you prefer?’ The Prophet answered, ‘The reading of Abdallah ibn Mas’ud.’ Then Abdallah came to him, and he learned what was altered and abrogated." Another Bukhari Hadith claims that: "Umar was sitting with Abu Bakr and was speaking (to) me. ‘You are a wise young man and we do not suspect you of telling lies or of forgetfulness. You used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah’s Apostle. Therefore, look for the Qur’an and collect it (in one manuscript).’ By Allah, if Abu Bakr had ordered me to shift one of the mountains (from its place) it would have been easier for me than the collection of the Qur’an. I said to both of them, "How dare you do a thing which the Prophet has not done?""

The Qur’an wasn’t, therefore, as Allah claims--a book memorialized on heavenly tablets--but was instead comprised of an evolving text. The oldest Qur’ans differ from one another and from today’s version. The original written copies were devoid of the diacritical points, so most words had to be chosen and their meaning interpreted two centuries after the Qur’an was revealed orally. It’s not pure Arabic as Allah claims, and there are a plethora of foreign words. There are also missing words, wrong words, and meaningless words, as well. And most importantly, the leading authority of the initial script of the Qur’an, studying the oldest fragments says: "One out of every five verses is indecipherable - meaningless in any language."
