Peace kaka

Quran was revealed at the time, when literacy rate in Arabs was very low. Even the Prophet was Ummi (illiterate) and that was a point that he can’t write the book on his own. It was alleged then that Warqa bin Nofil (A christian and cousin of Prophet’s first wife) taught him about the prophets of old testaments. But Warqa Bin Nofil died before Hijra and most of the verses regarding old testaments were revealed after Hijra. Then came the argument that Prophet’s interaction with the jews of Medina provide him information about the old prophets. This argument is not valid on two grounds Jews were very skeptical in revealing information even to their own people and they were bitter against the new faith. Secondly, most of revelation about the prophets of old testament differ in Quran’s version. Even todate there is a term ‘Israeliyat’ - jewish myths, which is detested by scholars in interpreting Quranic verses.

Regarding Quran’s claim that no one can produce a single verse like Quran has.. Its about the quality of language and message. To understand this claim one has to know about the Arabs claim for superiority of their language. Arabs of that time who considered them most fluent and superior for their language and poetry, were astonished to hear verses of Quran and that from an ummi (illiterate Prophet). Moreover, the message of the Quran was far superior and for the betterment of humanity as compared to shallow topics of Arab poetry revolving around war and their so called bravery.

Quran gave them a code of life and subsequent changes in Arab society proved that it was above all the poetry and tales that were part of Arab society before prophet. Scholars of Arab language (be it Muslims or Non-Muslims), if judge the content of Quran agree that the language of the Quran is superior as compared to other books in Arabic. How can that be possible from an illiterate man?

Thanks for the reply muqawee.
I am not saying that the prophet himself wrote it. I know he didnt have formal education hence couldnt write. ITs a fact that Abu bakr ordered the writing down of the quran after prophet’s death. Arabs always had a very rich history. they had music, poetry, literature, religion, architecture etc which was and still awes people. I will leave it right here as it may offend someone.

But coming back to my point even what all you have written doesnt prove that god himself sent it to earth for humans to follow.
