Muslims say that Christians are wrong because man wrote the Bible...but who wrote the Qu'ran?

Question

I get really confused when Muslims try and 'prove' their religion by pulling scientific facts into their arguments, but then revert back to faith when it comes to more logical things - like who even wrote the Qu'ran? Christian's and Jew's believe their prophets and (Christian) leaders of the Church wrote their text - but historically the Qu'ran was written roughly 20 years after Mohammad died and historically, it was written by a committee that burned all the other documents of Mohammad's teachings to ensure there was no question as to what they wrote. Or do you believe man altered that part of history as well. I know Islam says there was a miracle where everyone wrote the same thing when it was put together - but if you can use Science to try and prove Islam is the right religion, can you not be logical and use history to prove it's wrong? I'm just curious as to who Muslims believe , according to its context, wrote the Qu'ran. And why should anyone believe those people above the Prophets who wrote the Bible or Torah? These questions might sound attacking, but they really aren't . I am genuinely interested to get input and I am open to the idea I might have missed something.

Answer 1

man wrote it thats who

Answer 2

Regardless of the HISTORY of how the Noble Qur'aan was "compiled"... it doesn't change the fact that ISLAAM is without a doubt from Almighty GOD and that the Qur'aan (literally meaning THE RECITATION) has remained unchanged (in Arabic) since it was brought down through the Angel Gabriel. It was memorized by tens of thousands of Muhammad's Companions (6636 verses) during his time (and by MILLIONS of Muslims since his death). Regardless if writings were burned, masses of people would have know immediately when a single LETTER was incorrect because the Qur'aan was recited from memory pretty much 24 hours a day, everyday! History can in no way prove ISLAAM to be wrong. As you stated... "prophets" (aka people) wrote/authored the Bible/Torah... but this is not the case with The Qur'aan. It was Authored by Almighty GOD (Mighty and Majestic). Man did not add a single letter to the text... they merely copied down all 6636 verses from memory.



The reason why we TRUST those who compiled the Qur'aan is because we know without a doubt that it will not be corrupted because Almighty GOD has stated clearly that HE will protect it. The Qur’aan has remained and will remain narrated from generation to generation and preserved in men's hearts until the Day of Resurrection. This is how Almighty GOD has preserved HIS Book, in confirmation of the verse in which HE says [interpretation of the meaning]:



<< Verily, WE, it is WE Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’aan) and surely, WE will guard it (from corruption) >>



{The Qur'aan, Chapter 15 THE ROCKY TRACT, 9}



Here is some information below... which gives great detail as to the topic you have brought up.

Answer 3

You have to rely on your faith. Nobody truly knows EXACTLY what happened in Biblical times. We know what the word tells us. I know the word doesn't lie. But how do we interpret the word? That is what is important. Some would say it is impossible for someone to rise from the dead. I believe that Jesus rose from the dead because it is faith based. Nobody today was alive back then, so they cannot determine anything as far as, "Scientific" fact. It is much easier to dismiss something as a fairy tale than to actually think and determine whether or not it is true, or accept it. Everything was much different during those times.



Who is to say that God did not part the Red Sea? Nobody today was alive back then, so they cannot make a determination. They can only spit rhetoric about something they don't even know.



It's all about faith. Faith is the key.

Answer 4

Excuse me but Muslims do not say that. Muslims are well aware all three books ie The Torah, The Bible and The Quran are all from God. What we say about the Bible is it has been altered many times over the years to suit Kings and Clergy, big difference!

Clearly your knowledge of Islam is minimal to say the least...

God dictated the Quran to Muhammad (pbuh) through the Angel Gabrielle, Muhammad (pbuh) could neither read nor write.

Answer 5

I can't tell you anything about the Qu'ran except that it is against our loving God but, I can give you this about the Bible.



The Bible is God's written Word to us.

It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.



“Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)



Breakdown of the Bible

36 human authors inspired entirely by God over 1600 years.

66 separate books



39 Old Testament

Genesis- The creation of the world, sin, flood and birth of Israel

Exodus to Esther- History of the nation of Israel

Job to Proverbs- the books of poetry and wisdom

Isaiah to Malachi- Prophecy or foretelling of the future events to come.



27 New Testament

Matthew to John - Four Gospels representing the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ now with all authority in Heaven and earth.

Acts- Birth of the Church (The Bride of Christ)

Romans to Jude - Letters to the Churches

Revelations - The ultimate future plans for: The Church, Heaven, Hell, a New Heaven and a New Earth.

Answer 6

A man who wrote in the Qur'an that its purpose is to confirm the Book, (Bible), and that the Qur'ans readers must also read the Book.



If they only knew that there were copies of the Tawrat, Nabi, Injil, and Rasule, (Torah, Prophets, Gospels, and Epistles), were available translated from early, uncorrupted Bible manuscripts, maybe they would read them: https://watch002.securesites.net/e/contact/submit.htm

Answer 7

Thank you for asking me about my religion.



Before i began to answer your question, i would like to state two important things:

1. As Muslims we cannot lie about anything, especially about our religion.

2. We have original recorded sources of our religion:



A) The Quran

http://www.quranexplorer.com



B) Teachings of Muhammad - the Authentic saying or Sunnah

http://www.quranexplorer.com/hadith/english/index.html



This is a unique part of Islam, not available in any other ancient religions.



Muslims submit and surrender their will and desires to the will and the laws of the Creator. By referring to, "The Creator", Muslims are talking about "Allah."

"Allah" simply means "The God" in Arabic.



Quran, in Arabic, could only have been written by ONE of 3 possible sources:

1. the Arabs

2. Mohammad (peace be upon him)

3. God (Allah)

(NOTE: The first part is not meant to be a rigorous proof. It is something to ponder upon. However, the second part, about Mohammad [pbuh] wrote it' contains more extensive proof.)

Besides the above mentioned sources, Quran couldn't possibly have been written by ANYONE else.

No other source is possible, because Quran is written in pure, rich, and poetic Arabic, which was not known to anyone other than the above mentioned sources, at that time. The Arabic language was at its peak in expression, richness, vocabulary, artistic, and poetic value during the time the Quran was being revealed. Anyone speaking the classical Arabic ( the Arabic of Quran at the time it was revealed) would argue that a non-Arab entity couldn't possibly have written such an extensive and brilliant piece of literature in the Arabic language. Quran could only have been written by an Arabic speaking entity. An entity, who's knowledge, style, vocabulary, grammar, and way of expression was so powerful that it impacted the entire Arabian peninsula, the east, the west, and continues to impact people all over the globe today!

At no other time, in the history of Arabic language, had it ever achieved its peak in expression, literature, and development, than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the time when Quran was being revealed. At no other time in the history of Arabic language had the language ever achieved its highest potential than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the time when Quran was being revealed. The language reached its peak in richness, artistic value, and poetry, during that time. With the Arabic language at its peak, and the best of Arabic writers, poets present in Arabia, it is impossible that a non-Arabic speaking entity would write a book like Quran and have such a dynamite impact on the Arabs!

So only an Arabic speaking entity could have write Quran. With that in mind, we're left with three choies:

1 - the Arabs wrote it

2 - Mohammad (pbuh) wrote it

3 - Allah (swt) wrote it

Lets examine the three choces one by one. ARABS wrote it?

Answer 8

Man may have written the Bible, but a mad-man wrote the koran (I refuse to use this new spelling abomnation, with a q and an apostrophe). It is well known that this man was subject to fits, hallucinations and other disorders.



I mean,anyone who believed he flew on to Jerusalem, overnight, on a winged horse with a beautiful woman's face has to be bonkers.



Jews are the Chosen People. We Christians at least have a direct, unshakable link to the Jews.



Islam, on the otherhand... well, not so much.



They claim they are "of the book", but that is only just a claim to try to justify and legitimize their faith. They need to recognise US to legitimate their faith.



We don't need them to prove the authenticity of our Judeo/Christian faiths.

Answer 9

Great question! Ask it in the Ramadan section---most Muslims hang out there.

Answer 10

It was dictated to Mohammad by the angel Gabriel. Mohammad memorized it, then got others to memorize it. Eventually, it was all written down. It doesn't get any more scientific than that!

Answer 11

Mohammed went into a cave and talked to a desert demon who called himself Jibreel.



Demons have always lived in caves. The Romans consulted a cave demon at Cumae, and the Greeks one at Delphi.

Answer 12

Man wrote it because it contradicts itself.

Answer 13

muslims and christians are theologically opposed natural enemies.

Answer 14

Another man...Mohammed.
