The Quran is the Speech of Allah




The Noble Quran is the eternal miracle of Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, because all the miracles of the prophets, May Allah Exalt his mention, ended with their death, except our Prophet, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, whose miracle is still preserved. This everlasting miracle is The Book of Allah and His Revealed Speech that {Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it} [Quran 41:42]

Allah The Almighty Confirms this fact, when He Says (what means):

• {And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the Words of Allah.} [Quran 9:6]

• {Those who remained behind will say when you set out toward the war booty to take it, "Let us follow you." They wish to change the Words of Allah.} [Quran 48:15]

Those two verses prove that the Quran is the Words and Speech of Allah The Almighty that He Has Revealed to His Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullaah, May Allah Be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to invite people to Islam during the Hajj season and would say, “Who are willing to give me asylum so that I can convey the Speech of my Lord, for the Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the Speech of my Lord.” [At-Tirmithi and Ahmad]

Hence, the Quran is the Speech of Allah as unanimously agreed upon by all Muslims.

This fact is supported by several logical and tangible evidences including the following:

- The polytheists failed to produce a single verse, let alone a single Soorah, let alone a whole book like the Quran despite the fact that they were utterly determined and extremely motivated to oppose and falsify the call of the Prophet, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Furthermore, we must remember that they were the masters of the Arabic language, in which the Quran was revealed. Certainly, this constitutes a definitive proof that the Quran is the Speech of Allah The Lord of The Worlds, not that of humans.

- The Quran foretold many matters of the unseen and made several prophecies that were all fulfilled exactly as they were foretold. For example, the Persians defeated the Byzantines in one of their battles and the Quran recorded this defeat foretelling that the Byzantines would defeat the Persians within three to nine years and this is what actually happened. Allah The Exalted Says (what means): {The Byzantines have been defeated * In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome. * Within three to nine years.} [Quran 30: 2-4]

- The Quran includes many miraculous scientific facts that were only discovered fourteen centuries later. For example, the Quran told us about a barrier separating the salty water from the fresh water not to mix with each other. Allah The Exalted Says (what means): {He Released the two seas, meeting [side by side]; * Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.} [Quran 55:19,20]

After about fourteen centuries, modern science confirmed this scientific fact.
