The Quran is the holy book which Muslims recite and turn to for guidance in all aspects of their life.

It
 is the last testament in a series of divine revelations from God. It 
comprises the unaltered and direct words of God, revealed through the 
Angel Gibrael, to the final Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh)1 some 1400 years 
ago. Islam is a continuation of the teachings of previous Prophets, such
 as Noah, Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all), some
 of whom were also given divine books. Muslims believe that the key 
message brought by all Prophets was the same; to believe in One God and 
not to associate partners with Him, to stay away from sins and to lead a
 life devoted to earning Gods pleasure. All Prophets taught about life 
after death and gave glad tidings of paradise for those who obey God, 
but warned of punishment in hell for those who choose to disobey Him.

The
 Quran is unique because it is the only revealed book that exists today 
in the precise form and content in which it was originally revealed. 
Furthermore, it was actively recorded during the time the religion was 
being established. The distinctive approach of the Quran is that its 
spiritual message includes practical injunctions aimed at the general 
welfare of human beings, society and the environment in which we live. 
The Qurans message is eternal and universal, transcending our 
differences in race, color, ethnicity and nationality. It provides 
guidance on every aspect of human life, from economics and the ethics of
 trade to marriage, divorce, gender issues, inheritance and parenting. 
It neither condemns nor tortures the flesh nor does it neglect the soul.
 It does not humanize God, nor does it deify man. The Quran describes 
signs of Gods existence in the universe and how everything is carefully 
placed in the total scheme of creation.

“Everything made so much 
sense.This is the beauty of the Quran; it asks you to reflect and 
reason….When I read the Quran further, it talked about prayer, kindness 
and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me 
was the Qur’an and God had sent it to me.”

Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam), former British pop star.

This
 brochure examines two common questions asked by those seeking to 
understand the origin and authorship of the Quran. 1) What evidence 
supports the Qurans claim of authenticity ,i.e., that it has not been 
interfered with? 2) Even if the Quran has been preserved, what evidence 
supports that it is the Word of God and not simply Muhammads (pbuh)own 
writings?
Preservation of the Quran

The Quran has been preserved for over 1400 years through parallel memorization and writings.

“We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption).” [Quran 15:9]

The
 Quran is the only book that has been memorized in its entirety by 
millions. The process of memorization began during the Prophets (pbuh) 
life and continues to be emphasized by Muslims, even to this day.The use
 of memorization in oral transmission through the generations had 
mitigated somewhat from the beginning the worst perils of relying solely
 on written records, related John Burton. [John Burton, An Introduction 
to the Hadith, Edinburgh University Press; 1994, p27].

Muhammad 
(pbuh) was very vigilant in preserving the entire Quran in written form 
as well. The Prophet (pbuh) could not read or write, so as soon as a 
portion of the Quran was revealed, he called upon his scribes to record 
the revealed text.The Prophet (pbuh) specified the part of the Quran the
 revelation belonged to and had the companions read back what was 
written to ensure that it corresponded exactly with what was 
revealed.Thus, the complete Quran was not only memorized by the Prophet 
(pbuh) and many of his companions, but also existed in written form 
during his lifetime.Within a year after the Prophets (pbuh) death, a 
manuscript of the entire Quran was assembled by a committee led by the 
chief scribe of the Prophet (pbuh), who followed stringent criteria to 
safeguard against any errors. The manuscript was unanimously approved by
 the companions of the Prophet (pbuh), including the hundreds that had 
memorized the entire Quran. Several replicates of the manuscript were 
prepared under the leadership of the third caliph and were distributed 
to the main Muslim centers. One such copy is currently at the museum in 
Tashkent in erstwhile (Soviet Union) and a facsimile of it, produced in 
1905, is available in the Columbia University Library (USA).
Who Wrote the Quran

Muslims
 believe that the Quran is the Speech of God and not a book written by 
Muhammad (pbuh) himself. The information above provides evidence for the
 preservation of the Qur’an, but what suggests that it was actually the 
word of God?

1) Historical accounts document, and the Quran openly declares, that Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered.

You
 (O Muhammad) were not a reader of any Scripture before it, nor did you 
write (such a Scripture) with your right hand, for then those who follow
 falsehood might (have a right) to doubt it. [Quran, 29.48]

2) 
The Quran was revealed at a time when the Arabs excelled in oral poetry.
 Poetry competitions like todays rap competitions, were held in the 
marketplace. Muhammads (pbuh) recitation stunned its listeners for its 
beauty in Arabic. Many converted simply by listening to the deep 
acoustic rhythms, literary merit and wisdom of the Quranic verses. In 
contrast, the Arabic of 1400 years ago was restricted to words and 
expressions relevant to the simple life of desert men and it was 
impossible to express metaphysical ideas or scientific, religious and 
philosophical concepts. In fact the science of Arabic grammar was 
developed after the revelation of the Quran, using the Quran as a basis 
for devising its rules. It is difficult to find an explanation (other 
than revelation) that explains how a book existed that superseded, and 
also differed so greatly from any other Arabic literature. The challenge
 of the Quran to produce a chapter like its own has not been met to this
 day:-

And if you are in doubt concerning that which We reveal 
unto Our slave (Muhammad) then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like 
thereof, and call your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful. 
[Quran, 2:23]

3) The Quran is a highly comprehensive book 
containing Divine truths, metaphysics, religious beliefs and worship, 
prayer, law and morality. It is a book fully describing the other life, a
 book of psychology, sociology, epistemology, and history, and a book 
containing scientific facts and the principles of a utopian life. A 
testament to the Divine authenticity of the Quran is that such a 
comprehensive book, one that was revealed over a period of 23 years, 
does not have any contradictory points.

Will they not then ponder
 on the Quran? If it had been from other than God they would have found 
therein much contradiction and incongruity. [Quran, 4.82]

4) 
Could Muhammad (pbuh) have been a liar or had motives for inventing the 
Quran? The early years of Muhammads (pbuh) mission were punctuated by 
persecutions and sorrow. His followers were brutally tortured, killed 
and forced to migrate. His clan was boycotted and he was stoned. His 
enemies even offered him wealth and kingship if he abandoned his call to
 the belief in One God. Instead, the Prophet (pbuh) lived a very austere
 life and never pursued any worldly gains like fame, power or wealth. 
Furthermore, the life of Muhammad (pbuh) was a practical embodiment of 
the Divine message and a study of his life (through the Hadith2) 
provides an appreciation of this fact. Even before he received the 
Prophethood, he was known in his society as Al-Ameen (The Trustworthy) 
and As-Sadiq (The Truthful). Both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars attest 
to his honesty and integrity 3 .

5) The Quran mentions things 
that were not known at the time. How can the existence of these verses 
be explained? The Quran has scientific descriptions only recently 
discovered by modern science and that could not have been known 1400 
years ago.

Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay); then 
we placed him (as a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; 
then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of than clot
 We made a (foetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and 
clothed the bones with flesh;then We developed out of it another 
creature.So blessed be Allah,The Best to Create [Quran, 23:12-14).

Professor
 Keith Moore, a prominent scientist of anatomy and embryology 
(University of Toronto, Canada) commented: It has been a great pleasure 
for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. 
It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad 
(pbuh) from God, or ‘Allah’, because almost all of this knowledge was 
not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that 
Muhammad (pbuh) must have been a Messenger of Allah.

The Quran describes the expansion of the universe:

And
 it is we who have built the univrse with (Our creative) power; and 
verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. [Quran, 51:47].

It
 was not until 1925, when Edwin Hubble provided evidence of receding 
galaxies, that the expanding universe came to be accepted as a 
scientific fact.

Professor Alfred Kroner, a world-famous 
geologist, explained: Thinking about many of these questions and 
thinking where Muhammad (pbuh) came from, he was after all a bedouin. I 
think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like
 the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found 
out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced 
technological methods that this is the case.

The Quran describes 
geographical concepts that were proven after its revelation. For 
example, it was the common dogma 1400 years ago that the earth was flat,
 but the Quran described it as a sphere, compressed at each end (like an
 ostrich egg):

And the earth moreover, He has made egg shaped4 [Quran 79:30].

In 1597, when Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world, the earth became known to be a sphere.
What can explain the origin of the Quran?

The
 life and character of the Prophet (pbuh) , the depth of the Quranic 
message, its appeal and relevance to both the spiritual and the mundane,
 all testify to the Divine origin of the Quran. These points compel us 
to admit our inability to provide an explanation that relies solely upon
 material causes. In a world starved of love and compassion, the Qurans 
universal message is the perfect antidote to the collective despair of 
the human condition.

1. pbuh stands for peace be upon him an invocation of respect
2. Hadith, the collection of recorded saying and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
3. see 877-Why Islam brochure titled What they say about Muhammad (pbuh).
4. the Arabic word for egg here is dahaahaa, meaning ostrich egg

	Christmas is the Pagan ritual entered into the religion through the church in 325 AD by Constantine in Constantinople. The birth of Jesus was in mid-summer rather than winter of solstices which was the invention of the Pagans to worship “SUN” being born (raised) on 25th December, as they worship Sun so they thought that Sun has died on 23rd December because of shortest day, suddenly when sun was lifted up on 25th December they overjoyed and believed that the “SUN” has born on 25th of December and from that day this cult was entered. Two verses from the Quran and Bible show that the birth of Jesus was in mid-summer not in winter Solstices. The Quran says in chapter Maryam 19:25: And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you. In this verse, Allah was commanding Mary, mother of Jesus, through an Angel to go to Palm tree and shake the trunk and dates will fall thereof then eat them and get refreshed in your pangs and throes. Now if you meet any horticulturist he will tell you that the dates always fall in mid-summers. Now let us analyze the Bible. Luke 2:8 “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.” Ask these Christian missionaries why were shepherds looking at their flocks in 25th December at night time? When at that time it happened to be much cold in the open field that the flocks could freeze to death. Those days were not like these days as there was a city heat of vehicles and industries. Then we are told that when Jesus was born three kings came to visit the child by following the star from the east. How come in the winter nights stars can be seen? As we know that the mist, fog and smoke cover the sky in winters. So we can conclude that Bible is not giving the specific date neither the Quran but the hint is there that it was summer time not winter. The tradition was added by the Church in 325 AD regarding the names like Easter Day, Eucharist and Christmas etc. مسيحية تتهجم على يوسف استس وتقول له كيف تتجر�£ �£ن تترك المسيحية فدمر سؤلها بدقائق https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2nWd2V6MdA �£حمد ديدات - من هو �£بو المسيح عليه السلام - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ejqMYNwrY when Christ was born Ahmed Deedat a lecture debates youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFfPTgHee6c

	20. A woman’s share of inherited wealth half that of a man’s, unfair! Islam abolished the former practice whereby inheritance went only to the oldest male heir. According to the Quran, a woman automatically inherits from her father, her husband, her son and her childless brother. The Quran contains specific guidance regarding the division of the inherited wealth among the rightful beneficiaries. The three verses that broadly describe the share of close relatives are found in chapter 4, verses 11, 12 and 176. In these verses, Allah establishes the right of children, parents and spouses to inherit a specific share without leaving the matter to human judgment and emotions. In the absence of certain close relatives a share is apportioned to more distant ones. The system of inheritance is a perfectly balanced product of the Creator's knowledge of human need and takes into account His imposition of greater responsibility upon particular members of the family in varying situations. In most cases, the female inherits a share that is half that of the male. However, this is not always so. There are certain instances when they inherit equal shares, and in some cases, a female can inherit a share that is more than that of the male. But even when the male is given a larger share there is a perfectly logical reason behind it. In Islam a woman has no financial obligations towards her family, even if she is wealthy or has her own source of income; the economic responsibility always lies upon the man. As long as a woman remains unmarried, it is the legal obligation of her father, brother or other guardian to provide her food, clothing, medication, housing and other financial needs. After she is married, it is the duty of her husband or adult son. Islam holds the man financially responsible for fulfilling all the needs of his family. So the difference in shares does not mean that one sex is preferred over the other. It represents a just balance between the roles and responsibilities of family members according to their natural, physical and emotional makeup. In general, the woman is in charge of running the household and taking care of the needs of those within it, so she is alleviated from financial obligations. Despite this, she receives a share of inheritance which becomes her own property to save or use as she pleases. No other person has claim to any portion of her share. In contrast, the man's share becomes a part of his property from which he is obligated to maintain his children and all female members of the household, so it is constantly being consumed. Suppose someone died leaving a son and a daughter. The son's share of inheritance will be depleted when he gives a dowry to his wife and supports his family, including his sister until she marries. Any additional income will have to be earned through his work. However, his sister's share remains untouched, or might even increase if she invests it. When she marries, she will receive a dowry from her husband and will be maintained by him, having no financial responsibilities whatsoever. Thus, a man might conclude that Islam has favored women over men! In addition, the Muslim may make a bequest at his own discretion, in which he can will up to one third of his property to anyone who would not inherit otherwise. The bequest can be a means of assistance to other relatives and people in need, both men and women. One may also allocate this portion or part of it toward charities and good works of his choice.

	19. Islam impose harsh punishments for sex outside marriage Punishment in Islam has a social purpose, which is to dissuade others from committing the same crime. The nature of the punishment depends on the seriousness of the crime in question. Nowadays, some are opposed to the Islamic punishment for fornication and adultery because they see it as disproportionate or too harsh a punishment. The basic problem here is the different standards by which the severity of the crime is measured. Islam views adultery as a very serious crime, because it undermines the very foundation of the family system upon which the whole superstructure of the society is built. Illicit relationships destabilize the family and bring about the breakdown of the system. Family breakdown imperils the physical and mental health of future generations, which in turn leads to a vicious circle of decadence, dissipation, and dissolution. Therefore, it is imperative that all measures must be taken to protect the family. That is why Islam emphasizes protection of the family by imposing severe punishments for activities that threaten the family foundation. These punishments are the same for men and women alike. There is no overstating of the fact that Islamic punishments are only a part of a vastly larger integrated whole. There are essential conditions for the application of prescribed punishments in Islam: First, Muslims are strongly encouraged to marry whenever possible, providing a lawful means of gratification. Prophet Muhammad said: “O youths, whoever of you can afford marriage (financially and physically) let him get married; for indeed it lowers the gaze, and keeps one chaste; whoever cannot get married, he should fast, for it safeguards him.” A man may legally take as many as four wives as long as he treats each of them equitably and justly. In cases of confirmed incompatibility or dissatisfaction, a wife has the right to request the dissolution of the marriage. Second, Muslims, whether married or unmarried, must adhere to proper dress and behavior guidelines at all times. Privacy is to be respected and compromising situations strictly avoided as a matter of obedience to Allah. Third, only a legitimate Islamic government has the right to implement these punishments. Such an Islamic government must establish justice as its core value in all affairs so that the social and cultural environment of the country is congenial for the moral life of its citizens. It is only after the above two conditions have been fulfilled that a government is entitled to implement Islamic punishments on its land, and only then does the court gain the authority to judge a case according to its provisions. And finally, any case that comes before the court for judgment must be investigated thoroughly and proper evidence brought before the court to satisfy all the requirements of Islamic law. Conviction is subject to strict conditions, which are most difficult to fulfill. This means that, in reality, the punishments are seldom carried out without the connivance of the criminal, and serve primarily as deterrents.

	18. A man is permitted to have more than one wife, then why can’t a woman have more than one husband? Islam teaches that Allah has created men and women as equals, but not as identical beings. They are different, physically, biologically and physiologically and each have different capabilities. Their roles and responsibilities are therefore different but they complement one another. Some may object to a man having the right to more than one wife by insisting that, in fairness, women should also be able to practice polyandry. However, the following few points could be part of the reason behind its prohibition by God: a) One of the benefits of polygyny is that it solves the problem of women outnumbering men. b) In general, men are polygamous by nature while women are not. c) Islam assigns great importance to the recognition of parents, both the mother and father. When a man has more than one wife, the parents of children born in such marriages can easily be identified. But in the case of a woman marrying more than one husband, only the mother of children born within the marriage would be known without resorting to laboratory tests. Psychologists tell us that children who do not know their parents, the father in particular, undergo severe mental disturbances and trauma, and often have unhappy childhoods. محاضرة بعنوان معنى كلمة الإسلام المحاضر : الداعية عبدالرح ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_usV2AqFQ دعوة غير المسلمين إلى الإسلام، بلسان عربي، للداع ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHfZ_h--OOQ

	Muhammad ibn (son of) Abdullah ibn (son of) Abdul Mutalib, was born on 12 Rabi 'Awwal in the year 570 C.E. (Christian Era) in Makkah, (today: Saudi Arabia) and he died in 633 C.E. in Yathrib (today: Madinah, Saudi Arabia) In Arabic the word prophet (nabi) is derived from the word naba which means news. Thus we deduce that a prophet spreads the news of God and His message, they are in a sense God’s ambassadors on earth. Their mission is to convey the message to worship One God. This includes, calling the people to God, explaining the message, bringing glad tidings or warnings and directing the affairs of the nation. All the prophets were anxious to convey God’s message sincerely and completely and this included the last prophet, Muhammad. During his final sermon Prophet Muhammad asked the congregation three times whether he had delivered the message, and called on God to witness their answer, which was a resounding “yes!”. As well as the essence of their call to One God, another accepted sign of the truth of the prophets is how they live their lives. The accounts of Prophet Muhammad’s life that we have inherited from our righteous predecessors illustrate that Muhammad’s Prophethood was guided by God from the very beginning. Long before, Prophethood Muhammad was being prepared to guide humankind to the straight path and his life experiences stood him in good stead for such a weighty mission. Then at the age of 40 when Prophethood was bestowed upon him, God continued to support and affirm his mission. Any account of Muhammad’s life is filled with examples of his exemplary character; he was merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, and generous, while striving solely for the rewards of the Hereafter. The way Prophet Muhammad dealt with his companions, acquaintances, enemies, animals and even inanimate objects left no doubt that he was ever mindful of God. Muhammad’s birth was accompanied by many so called miraculous events and the talk of the extraordinary events no doubt functioned as signs of Prophethood, Special but not unique circumstances surrounded childhood of Prophet Muhammad and these undoubtedly had a bearing on his character. By the time he was eight years old he had suffered through the death of both his parents and his beloved grandfather Abdul Muttalib. He was left in the care of his uncle and great supporter Abu Talib. Thus even as a young boy he had already suffered great emotional and physical upheaval. Both the many chroniclers of Muhammad’s life and the Quran acknowledge his disrupted life. Did He not find you (O Muhammad) an orphan and gave you a refuge? (Quran 93:6) Muhammad’s uncle Abu Talib was poor and struggled to keep his family fed, thus during his adolescence Muhammad worked as a shepherd. From this occupation he learned to embrace solitude and developed characteristics such as patience, cautiousness, care, leadership and an ability to sense danger. Shepherding was an occupation that all the prophets of God we know of had in common. ‘…The companions asked, “Were you a shepherd?” He replied, “There was no prophet who was not a shepherd.”’[1] In his teens Muhammad sometimes travelled with Abu Talib, accompanying caravans to trade centres. On at least one occasion, he is said to have travelled as far north as Syria. Older merchants recognized his character and nicknamed him Al-Amin, the one you can trust. Even in his youth he was known as truthful and trustworthy. One story that is accepted by most Islamic scholars and historians is the account of one of Prophet Muhammad’s trips to Syria. The story goes that the monk Bahira foretold the coming Prophethood and counselled Abu Talib to “guard his nephew carefully”. According to biographer Ibn Ishaq, as the caravan in which Prophet Muhammad was travelling approached the edge of town, Bahira could see a cloud that appeared to be shading and following a young man. When the caravan halted under the shadow of some trees, Bahira “looked at the cloud when it over-shadowed the tree, and its branches were bending and drooping over the apostle of God until he was in the shadow beneath it.” After Bahira witnessed this he observed Muhammad closely and asked him many questions concerning a number of Christian prophecies he had read and heard about. The young Muhammad was distinguished among his people for his modesty, virtuous behaviour and graceful manners, thus it was no surprise for his companions to see him, even as a youth many years before Prophethood, shun superstitious practices and keep away from drinking alcohol, eating meat slaughtered on stone altars or attending idolatrous festivals. By the time he reached adulthood Muhammad was thought of as the most reliable and trustworthy member of the Meccan community. Even those who concerned themselves with petty tribal squabbles acknowledged Muhammad’s honesty and integrity. Muhammad’s virtues and good moral character was established from a young age, and God continued to support and guide him. When he was 40 years old Muhammad was given the means to change the world, the means to benefit the whole of humanity THE SEAL OF ALL THE PROPHETS MUHAMMAD PBUH - Muhammad Abdul Jabbar \ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blxHYZfX78k The greatest man to ever walk the earth - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaClr9qEOAI
