the Authenticity of the quran

Many people mistakenly believe that the Quran was authored by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In fact, the Quran is the preserved speech of Allah. At the same time, one might ask, which proofs indicate that the Quran is the Word of Allah and not the writings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

In the Quran, Allah addresses Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), “You never recited any Scripture before We revealed this one to you; you never wrote one down with your hand” (29:48). In other words, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was known to be illiterate, neither read any previous scriptures nor wrote the Quran.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was greatly regarded in his society for his superior character and exceptional manners, earning him the title of the ‘Truthful One.’ Even after his prophethood, the elite of Mecca were ready to make him their leader, so long as he allowed them to continue their pagan lifestyles. Yet, he was willing to forego all worldly glory in order to fulfill his mission. As a result, he suffered patiently through persecution and exile before ultimately succeeding in revolutionizing the entire Arabian Peninsula.

Through it all, Allah kept on revealing the Quran to him piecemeal. Occasionally, the revelations stopped temporarily, reminding him and others that he had no control over them. Once, when two envoys posed some questions to him, he replied, “Tomorrow I will tell you.” He expected Allah will inspire the answers in him through revelation and he waited for Angel Gabriel. However, revelation did not come during the next few weeks even as Meccans taunted him. Finally, Allah sent him the response while admonishing him, “Do not say of anything, ‘I will do that tomorrow,’ without adding, ‘Allah willing’” (Quran, 18:23-24).

The Quran was revealed at a time when the Arabs excelled in oral poetry. However, despite his intelligence, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not skilled in composing poetry. Yet, when the Quranic verses were recited, they stunned even the most acclaimed poets in the society. Deeply moved by the rhythmic tone, literary merit and penetrating wisdom of the Quran, many converted to Islam. Indeed, the science of Arabic grammar was developed after the revelation of the Quran, using the Quran as a basis for devising its rules.

There are many miracles in the Quran which themselves attest to the fact that this truly is a divine scripture.
