Quran authored by God.

I was born as a muslim and lived in a muslim community all my life. I live in a community where questioning religion is a taboo or "haram". They are afraid that questioning religion will shaken their faith. A friend once told me that studying the Quran will make you go crazy as the knowledge is far beyond what we can understand.

Surah 2 (The Cow), Verse 6 says : This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (againts evil).

Surah 4 Women : Verse 82 says : Why do they not study The Quran carefully? If it were from other than God, they would have found in it numerous contradictions.

I believe that if your truly seek the truth, you will be guided by Allah s.w.t.

My dad once told me that the Quran is a special book as it is the only book that is authored by God himself. This statement made by my dad has made me wonder, on the content of the Quran and the knowledge it gives. To me, if this Book is authored by God, the content has to be different from other books in the world. The knowledge has to be superior and unchallengeable.

With the help of videos from Ahmed Deedat and Dr. Zakir Naik from Youtube. I am now convinced that indeed the glorious Quran is written by God himself, automatically finally convinced me that God exist, Muhammad is a messenger of God and Islam is the true religion.

There are three things I found that have convinced me.

1. There is no doubt that the Quran was a persevered since the time of Muhammad the prophet of god.

2. The Scientific knowledge embedded in the Quran does not contradict with scientific findings in our time today. It is also impossible for Muhammad to know such things as the Quran was reveled 1400 years ago.

3. Prophecies that was written in the Quran and came true.

The Quran Preservation

Unlike the Bible that has several versions of the book, the Quran has only one and since any man can remember, every Quran is the same. There has never been any fabricated verses in the Quran, only miss interpreted.

Surah 15 The Rock : Verse 9 says : “Behold, it is We Ourselves who have gradually revealed this reminder, and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption].”

According to Ahmed Deedat, the Quran was written in a mathematical formula which will make any adding, removing or changing of verses impossible. A single change in the Quran will destroy the mathematical formula.

I couldn't find the video on Youtube as I watched it a few years back, I will still try to find it and post it for references. Posted here is not the exact video I saw.

The Scientific knowledge

There are several scientific facts in the Quran that was imposable for anyone from 1400 years ago to know. From the stages of a fetus's growth to the creation of the Universe. These are all proofs that the Quran was written by God.

When I was in school I was thought that the sun was stationary and planets circle the sun in their orbit. Then later on scientist found out that the whole universe is actually moving. 1400 years ago this was stated in the Quran.

Surah 51 The Scatterers : Verse 47 And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it.expanding it (musi'un).

In the words of Dr Zakir Naik, " If there is a new invention that no one has ever seen before and someone came by and explains the mechanism of the invention, this person is the manufacturer or the inventor or the creator of the machine. God explained the creation of the universe 1400 years ago in the glorious Quran."

Quran Prophecies

Surah 10 Yunus : Verse 90 - 92 - We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a reality for him, he said, “I believe there is no god except in the One whom the Children of Israel have believed; I am a submitter. Too late! For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a transgressor. Today, we will preserve your body, to set you up as a lesson for future generations. Verily, many among mankind are totally oblivious to our signs.

This verse in the Holy Quran clearly prophesies that the Pharaoh's body will be preserved until today.

There are many more prophecies such as the defeat of the Roman in Surah 30 : 2- 4.

By being preserved means it was never corrupted, by the scientific knowledge and prophecies means the author can see into the future and by this conclude that the author of the Quran has to be something superior than Humans.

If someone has written a book that last for centuries, the person will surely wants to be credited for his work. But no one have ever claimed to be the author of the Book.

Surah 36 Yaseen : Verse 5 says : (This is) a Revelation sent down by the AllMighty, the Most Merciful,

Allah s.w.t is the author of the glorious Quran.

Sorry for the brief ending, it is already 6.00 am in the morning and I have lost my inspiration on writing.
