Who wrote Quran?

Yes, indeed my brother you are correct in this statement, however, fact remains that all these issues have been replied as well. Isn�t it? Hence, it would not be honesty on someone�s part to bring them here without bringing the counter arguments or replies received on these questions. Though, anyone can reinitiate these issues, but then he has to understand them first and only then reason them out if they really make sense. The classical example to this is clearly reflected once you picked up one such issue and pasted at the end of this post. I shall show through dissecting this issue more fully at the end.

The argument is, that the assertion of unaltered, perfectly preserved Quran and that it was authored by God may not be true, the evidence supporting this argument is sound, logical and reasonable.

You have not presented any of your logic or argument except the one below and I shall see how do you understand it.

This sound, logical evidence which refutes the claims of unaltered and perfectly preserved Quran and that it was authored by God presently stands unrefuted in this thread.

Here you go, my brother. So, elsewhere, from where you got this material, this so called �logical evidence� was indeed refuted, though not on this thread. Hmm!!!. Not very late, my brother, keep bringing them one by one within your understanding, and I shall see how things get straighten up here as well.

Bear in mind that proof of preservation, if it were to be established, is not proof of authorship.........and proof of authorship (apparently impossible to establish) is not proof of preservation. Believing something to be true does not make it true.

Surely,my brother. This is a perfectly reasonable approach. I hope you would also abide by the same once we get to discussing the Bible as well.

Here is more evidence to consider:- Here is an hadith where it appears Abu Bakr is the first to produce a "revelation".........read the last part (in blue)

So, my dear brother what do you understand by this narration. Do you know who is the narrater and what was his/her relation with Abu-Bakr? Without these basic questions, how can one even claim to understand the subject of such �snap-shot� like narrations? Yes, these are indeed �snap-shot� narrations as the narration itself doesn�t provide any details as what happened before and after this narration, which is highly important to understand the context under which such narrations occurred. Now, coming to your fallacy of �where it appears Abu Bakr is the first to produce a "revelation".........read the last part (in blue)�

Ok, though there are so many things that can be used to refute your understanding, but I shall restrict myself to some very obvious ones.

This is the narration of the events right at the time of death of our beloved Prophet Mohammad. People around him who used to love him more than their own very close near and dear ones got shocked on the news of his death. They didn�t believe that such a person can ever die. So they were not satisfied with the news and were arguing on this news. So when Abu Bakr came to this place, he immediately recalled them the verses of the Quran that �Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle)� and then recited from the Quran that �Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' " (3.144)�.  These verses indicated that indeed Prophet Mohammad was a natural human being just like other Prophets of Allah before him. Since they all died, hence the same way Prophet Mohammad had to die as well. Also note his own famous sayings at that moment of shock �"Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die�, Hence, the people now realized that indeed its Allah who is their guardian and protector and Prophet Mohammad was simply a messenger to convey His message. It is in this sense that the narrator added that �"By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it ")�

On the more, if someone looks at the blue highlighted text a little more closely now than before, �it was as if� part of it clearly shows that people, in the time of shock, had forgotten those verses which Abu Bakr simply made them remind and the narrator made a note of effect of this reminder on the people.

I hope with this example, one would understand the shallowness of all such accusations presented above. Anyhow, if you still feel uncomfortable with this or with any other example like this, feel free to bring it forward.
