Quran is True:: Intelectual Proofs

Intelectual Proofs

There are many intellectual proofs on this issue. We will mention a few, in a much summarized way.

First of all:
1. Prophet Muhammad challenged the tribes who had articulated the Arabic language to come with one verse of the shortest verses of the Quraan. And they couldn't do that. The Quraan is a very rich language, that it's impossible for a man to be able to make it up. If they were able to do that, they would have saved themselves and their tribes, from the blood shed. And met the challenge, but they didn't.

So the Prophet came to challenge the people of Quraysh with the Quraan. How? The Arabs back than had articulated the Arabic Language and mastered it, and Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings be upon him and all Prophets and messengers) was known to be unlettered, that is he did not read or write what is read and written. And he called people to Islam.

Among his miracles that prove his truthfulness, was the Quraan. He came with this great challenge; with the Quraan; that is known to have very rich words. The people could not meet the challenge. If they were able to meet the challenge of the Prophet, and come up with one short verse that meets or equals one that's from the Quraan, they would have saved themselves from the bloodshed.

So, the Quraan cannot be human-made, or angle-made. It's the speech of Allah that is unlike the speech of the creation. The Arabic words that we read in the holy book of the Quraan are expressions of the eternal speech of Allah which is not a letter or sound, because Allah does not resemble the creations in any way.

2. Prophet Muhammad was unlettered. The Quraan is revealed in a rich language. At the time when the Arabs were very articulate in the Arabic language, they were known for that, and they strong in poetry. It's well known that Prophet Muhammad was raised as an orphan, he did not learn from the knowledgeable people, or from the clever ones. Rather he was a Prophet with miracles.

3. One remarkable feature of the Quraan is its content of an abundant wealth of scientific information. Much of this information has only been discovered by mankind in the last century. If this points to anything, it certainly indicates that the Quraan could not have been written by any human being. When the Quraan was revealed to Prophet Muhammad 14 centuries ago, there simply was no human being who had any access or knowledge of such scientific knowledge. The scientific information in the Quraan covers main fields of knowledge.

4. And finally, among the intellectual proves that it's intellectually impossible that the Quraan is made up by Prophet Muhammad, or by a human, are the facts and the astonishing information and news in the Quraan.
