The Quran & The Bible in the light of Science and History

[نسيبة بنت كعب]

The second miracle:

The Holy Qur’an the Eternal Everlasting Great Miracle

The prophet PBUH had solely, rather other than prophets and messengers, several miracles. Some of which were reported and some are the greatest which became an eternal everlasting miracles. The meaning of an everlasting miracle is that they still exist with message and method in order that each follower of his method can say: the method of Islam is Qur’an and the miracle of prophet of Islam is Qur’an. If the miracle was satisfied as the way of previous miracles by the his precedent fellows of messengers, it would have ended by the end of its time so that it would become a history. We all know that the sea was split for Moses, we know it as reported to us but we have not witnessed it. In addition, we know that Jesus peace be upon him healed the blind and the leprous and brought forth the dead (Al-Maeda Surat – verse 110):

"إِذْ قَالَ اللّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلاً وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِي وَتُبْرِىءُ الأَكْمَهَ وَالأَبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوتَى بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنكَ إِذْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ "

“When Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! Remember My favor on you and on your mother, when I strengthened you I with the holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and I when of old age, and when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel; and when you determined out of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My permission, then you breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission, and you healed the blind and the leprous by My permission; and when you brought forth the dead by My permission; and when I withheld the children of Israel from you when you came to them with clear arguments, but those who disbelieved among them said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.”

Moreover, Moses revived the dead by permission of almighty God as stated in Al-Baqra Surat- verse 73:
"فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبُوهُ بِبَعْضِهَا كَذَلِكَ يُحْيِي اللّهُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ" (البقرة73)
“So We said: Strike the (dead body) with part of the (Sacrificed cow), thus Allah brings the dead to life, and He shows you His signs so that you may understand.”

We know it as reported to us but we have not witnessed it. Furthermore, we know that the messenger of Allah PBUH has miracles which we have mentioned before. We know them as reported to us but we have not witnessed them. Unless the prophetic traditions and the Qur’an in which we believe narrated these tales to us, we would have doubted them.

However, the messenger of Allah PBUH has brought forth a comprehensive method that would last till the Day of Judgment. Thus, Christianity depended on it in some of its legislations such as inheritance for instance. This method must maintain its miracle in order to guard the method and remain as evidence for the integrity of the reporting of the messenger of Allah PBUH. Hence, his greatest miracle was Qur’an so that each Muslim can say till the Day of Judgment: Mohammed is the prophet of Islam and his greatest eternal miracle is the Qur’an.

Thus, as long as Qur’an is a miracle, the whole world must be incompetent. Those who say: this miracle was due to eloquence, fluency, logic and rhetoric and the Arab nation is the nation of rhetoric. We say: this miracle is limited to Arabs. However, if we transmit the method to the English, French, Germans, Italians or any other nation, still the method due to its miraculous nature would continue to exist.

If one of them said: we are not familiar with Arabic language, if we knew Arabic, any one of us would have produced better speech than this? Therefore, God, praise be to Him, wished that Qur’an should contain one aspect that remains miraculous for these nations. These are the miracles about which languages do not disagree about our nations. They are the mental miracles i.e. the messenger of Allah PBUH, while he is the ignorant prophet who is not known to have any activity concerning science or culture, should report about things which are realized after the elapse of centuries. To those who do not believe that they came from God, we say:
Therefore, you want to elevate Muhammad to the rank of Godhood because he mentioned things fourteen centuries ago and they are realized at present. He told about things which cannot be said except by someone knowledgeable about his own universe. Thus, we should be aware that the Holy Qur’an as it includes a method; it also contains universal miracles about which nations agree and are not limited to a language rather than the other.

Qur’an miracles involve its versification, eloquence and diction. These differ from visible miracles witnessed by contemporaries of Moses, Jesus or Mohammed Peace be upon them, for Qur’an is an acoustic permanent miracle. Hearing is the only perception mechanism which responds at the time of sleeping and performs its function as its design necessitates potentials for continuing its function at the time of sleep.

Qur’an is a universal miracle in terms of time and place. It possesses incredibility in every time and place since its revelation from the sky till our present day and till God inherits the Erath and what is on its surface, Qur’an would maintain miracles that astonish the whole world and confirm that Qur’an comes from God. It has infinite marvel and bounty for each generation. There is nothing in it like the Bible of criminality, superstitions, prostitution, homosexuality, bodies, thighs, umbilicus, breast, lips, cheeks, women beauties such as pomegranates, bunches of grapes and vulvas like cups ( Song of Solomon 2:7)

Hence, Qur’an, the miracle of Allah’s apostle which never ends till the Day of Judgment, came. It is a miracle that addresses the mind which is the common trait for every body. It is a permanent miracle with a renewable reality. Thus, each one of us can now say that: Mohammed PBUH is the messenger of Allah and this is his miracle because it is a reality and this cannot be said in regard to the miracle of Moses or Jesus peace be upon them, for instance, as they are now history.

A miracle for preceding messengers of Allah’s apostle PBUH is one thing and the method book is another. Ibrahim journals contain method but they are not a miracle. His miracle revolved around the attempt of burning him and his rescue as well as dismembering birds and reviving them again as God says in Al-Baqra Chapter – verse 260:

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

Behold! Abraham said: "My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead." He said: "Dost thou not then believe?" He said: "Yea! but to satisfy My own undertaking." He said: "Take four birds; tame them to turn to thee; put a portion of them on every hill and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with speed. Then know that Allah is exalted in Power, Wise."

This is in addition to the above-mentioned miracles of Moses. However, his method book was The Pentateuch. Moreover, Jesus, peace be upon him, had his own miracles as mentioned before; however, his method was the Bible and these were all miracles that happened by God’s permission and ended by the ending of their messages.

Thus, all the miracles of the prophets were independent of the method, except for Allah’s Apostle PBUH whose real actual miracles are the essence of his method. His miracle is Qur’an till the Day of Judgment. Therefore, the miracle must remain with the method so as to be evidence for people till the Day of Judgment.

Hence, we find that all enemies of Islam diverge from truths of things by fraud and forgery in order to refute the Qur’an; however, if they used their minds by means of logic for a single moment, they would have find that the Qur’an was revealed in an Arabic style and challenged Arabs who were people of eloquence, fluency and rhetoric and they possessed beauty of expression and marvelous performance. It was brought forth in Qoreysh which combined in its language all languages of Arab tribes. Thus, quran came to challenge the Arabs and preach the fluent, the eloquent and poets by its verses and the valiant refuted Mohammed and were infidel to his message. Every foresighted person learnt from the history concerning the bibliography of the prophet in his dialogue with Qoreysh, enemies of Aswan, in regard to the Qur’an styles and his challenge to them: they argued with the prophet PBUH in every worthy and insignificant matter not wasting an opportunity for them in this field. How would foreign words and vocabulary be recited to them that they may use as a means to destroy Islam in its beginning; however, they did not move and they surrendered?! The beauty of Qur’an drove El-Walid Bin El-Mughira, the severest enemy of Islam, to say when he and a group from Quraish wanted to overthrow the messenger by asserting that he (the prophet) was either a mad man or a poet: “By God its saying has beauty and it possesses gracefulness and its most eminent is fruitful and its lowest has abundance and it is elevated and nothing rises above it and anything you say, would be known as false and what is easier for you is to say : a magician bringing forth magic that separates between one and his son and a person and his family. Here is the poet Kaab Bin Al-Ashraf the Jewish and he is a man from Nabhan from Tayaa who used to hurt the messenger of Allah PBUH by his poetry and maneuver and stirring Arabs against him. Was it related about them that they objected to a word, phrase or a verse?! Was he unable to draw the attention of Quraish people to the fact that the Apostle of Allah quoted Qur’an from here or there? Did we hear from them who said this or that? By God, if it included anything slandering it, they would not have ignored it. Rather, why did they convert to the religion of Islam and millions of Christians believed in Qur’an without being stopped by any suspicion or refutation and they have among them rabbis, priests, scientists, philosophers, thinkers, artists, politicians and historians of all races and colors, from all ages and environments? However, unfortunately, at present while we are in the third millennium there are still people more ignorant in comparison to the pre-Islamic (Jahiliah ) Age who belonged to the eloquent and fluent. If we had one of them now among us, we would mock the trifle claims addressed at Qur’an and the prophetic traditions out of spite, malice and hatred.

God, praise to him, said:

مَّا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلاَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ
[البقرة105]

“Those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book do not like, nor do the polytheists, that the good should be sent down to you from your Lord, and Allah chooses especially whom He pleases for His mercy, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.”

William Campbell concludes this page by his strange assertion by which he allows himself to use fraud and forgery publicly:

There is only one way in order to determine the meaning of a word that was used in the age of the Bible or Qur’an which is to bring examples of the uses of this word in writings dating to the first century A.D or the first century A.H such as poetry, letters and governmental offices. This requires finding new d ocuments such as Nouzi plates that date back to the fifteenth century B.C which help us to acquire some understanding of the traditions in the time of Abraham, the companion.

In addition, if we wish to quote from Taurat (the Pentateuch), Qur’an or any other book, we would need evidence (proof) not merely words. As a Christian I should quote the Bible and Qur’an according to the same honesty I apply when quoting the Bible. Thus, a Muslim should do the same with the Taurat (the Pentateuch) because changing the meaning of a word from the heavenly revelation or replacing it is a grave matter. This would mean that I made the word say what I wish not what God wishes. At least this may be considered as a deviation of the meaning and should be regarded as a kind of polytheism because I would have shared my thoughts with these of God.

So let’s honestly quote and always refer to evidence.

Really strange talking, I wonder how a Christian would believe in such illogical assertion which contradicts all norms then publish this issue through his website to lose the trust bestowed by the reader in him.

Did spite, jealousy and hatred against Islam blind your eyes and hearts?

Arabic has a single glossary which is The tongue of Arabs (Lisan Alarab) as all glossaries stemmed through it. If someone is perplexed by any word in Qur’an, he could find in The tongue of Arabs (Lisan Alarab) the best explanation and clarification.

We have repeatedly said that any word in any language of the world has several meanings. An example is as follows:
(Playing) cards, (identity / post) card, (combing) card,(brushing) card = card

Then there are glossaries that should be referred to and they show the meanings of these words.

However, the strangest of this is to find William Campbell the donkey doctor saying:

“To bring examples of the uses of this word in writings dating to the first century A.D or the first century A.H such as poetry, letters and governmental offices. This requires finding new d ocuments such as Nouzi plates that date back to the fifteenth century B.C … etc. Very funny assertion; rather, it is extremely hilarious.

Gentlemen: the glossary of the Holy Book reveals for us strange truths proving the lies of this liar William Campbell; rather, they slander both him and his faith.

The glossary of the Holy Book states: The Holy Book did not bring us any of the original versions written by these inspired or their book. All that reached us are versions quoted from this origin. Although scribes gave great care to these copies; however, some very few marginal spelling mistakes must have occurred (how come they are quoted from the original and how come they contain mistakes? Where is the original in order to compare?)

Then the glossary says: the Jewish Old Testament present in our hands is taken from the Missourian version prepared by a group of Jews’ scientists in Tabria from the sixth century to the twelfth century A.D (notice the time difference between Moses and Jesus about 1300 year)

Later the glossary says: “As for the Greek New Testament, the most updated cuneiform was written in the tenth century. The most ancient versions of some of the New Testament Books were found written on papyrus dating to the second and third centuries A.D such Baudmr papyrus (are quite negligible).”

Hence, if this were the case with a writer (who is supposed to be heavenly), what about the books which William Campbell wishes us to refer to? If the most ancient version of the Old Testament is the one existing and scribed in the tenth century A.D, then where he could get us a version of Nouzi’s plates dating to the fifteenth century B.C? if Nouzi’s plates were scribed in the same way as the New or the Old Testament were scribed, how could we be certain that the scribed of Nouzi’s plates are intact versions while the New Testament which is the word of God (according to what a Christian believes) included errors due to the copying process? Therefore, are the Nouzi’s plates more accurate than what came in the versions of the New Testament?

The matter has turned to be a mere ridicule and mockery of the readers’ minds… I would like to show this fraud so that the Christian would understand before the Muslim the inherent spite and malice targeted against Islam have blinded your eyes and hearts and turned you into infidels in the view of Islam and Judaism and infidel from the point of view of Christianity.

As for William Campbell saying about using evidence in his research, we say:

If looked into the Bible, we would find obscene embarrassing words that would cause shame; however, interpreters say that they mean a relationship between God and his Israel nation… ended.
If we looked at the word breast for instance from the Song of Solomon:



Song Of Solomon 13:1
صرة المرّ حبيبي لي . بين ثديي يبيت
“The umbilicus of a man is my beloved, between my breasts he lodges”

And we bring another proof from any other book such as:

Job Book 12:3

لماذا اعانتني الركب ولم الثدي حتى ارضع
“Why did you help me to climb and why the breast so that I suckle”

We would find that interpreters explained the word ثدي i.e. breast in a contradicting way to the explanation of breast in the Job book. However, if we compare what was stated in the Song of Solomon by the evidence in Job Book, we would that the Bible interpreters are liars and stupid including on top of them their master.

How Christian websites approved these issues ignoring statements that would condemn or denounce them before they could denigrate Islam?

William Campbell says: “At least this may be considered as a deviation of the meaning and should be regarded as a kind of polytheism because I would have shared my thoughts with these of God.”

Is there any infidelity to add up to polytheism, Campbell?

This part, thanks to God, concludes the reply to the introduction as well s the first issue of the first preamble section concerning some basic assumptions concerning vocabulary
