Dear brother, I am not a big scholar in Islam, but I got my answer for your question. If you want to know the intellectual basis of Qur’an, you must come out of your own pre-assumptions and search for the truth. \nI\nThen start from any point, let it be Holy Qur’an, The life of PROPHET. You will clearly see the truth.  \n \nI infer that you have the basic idea regarding what Islam is. Did you purposely ignore the scientific revelations in Qur’an?  I can answer you from many regions of Islam\nLet me start from Qur’an, \nDoes the Qur'an claim Divine status for itself?\n\n ANSWER IS YES\n\nThe Holy Qur'an repeatedly makes clear that it is Divine.\n\n"(This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds." (32:2).\n\n"Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds" (26:192).\n\n"(It is a Revelation) sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful" (36:5).\nAs far as its believers are concerned, the Qur'an is but the criterion to distinguish truth from falsehood. They understand that all that has been commanded therein constitute the good and all that has been prohibited therein constitute evil. In fact, the Qur'an introduces itself as Furqaan (2:53, 2:185, 3:4, 25:1) which means 'the criterion to distinguish between truth and falsehood.'\nThe theme of the Qur'an is the salvation of man. As the only creation capable of independent action, man is to follow certain laws for his very survival and progress. All things in the universe follow the Divine laws of their own accord. Indeed, they do not possess the option of straying from this set course. In fact, the systemic functioning of the human body itself compulsorily follows the Divine laws. However, man has been granted freedom of action in certain limited domains. Even in these spheres he can attain salvation if, and only if, he obeys the Divine commandments.\nIt is to mankind that the Qur'an speaks. It is to his salvation that the Qur'an beckons. It convinces him of the existence of the Lord Creator by turning his attention to the varied and incredible phenomena of nature. It speaks to him of the impermanence of the life of this world and of the utter meaninglessness of wasting an entire lifetime in pursuit of the comforts herein. It makes clear to him the path which must be followed in order that he be of that blessed group which becomes worthy of the entry into Paradise as of the safety from the confines of Hell.\n\nIt invites his attention to the history of those who purchased the punishment of Hell in exchange for the comforts of this world. It tells him of those who were granted the entry into Paradise for having led a life of purity. \n\nBriefly put, the Qur'an prepares man for attaining salvation both in this world and the next through obedience to the Divine commandments.\n\n\nCan you point out one scientific mistake in Qur’an? Do you think one ordinary illiterate man (Muhammad PBUH) created this Holy Scripture? If you believe so, how he came to know about many scientific facts described by Qur’an which was proved correct by modern science? This is only a very small part of your answer. \n"Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." \nHoly Qur’an 16:125

You mean Holy Quran\n\nHere is a nice comparison\n\nBible Compared to Quran\nBased on transcripts from lectures by Yusuf Estes & Dr. Gary Miller (combined).\n\nIntroduction by Yusuf Estes - \nIt should be stated at the outset of this work, that Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrete the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is "original." As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.\n\nAdditionally, it should be noted that Muslims do not seek to destroy the Christians or Jews belief in the Word of God, rather it is an obligation for Muslims to call to what is right and to halt that which is evil. Certainly, causing the "People of the Book" (as the Quran refers to Christians and Jews) to fall into disbelief and leave off any faith in God at all, is the very opposite of the direction Muslims should take in presenting any comparison between Islam and what has come down in the past from the Almighty God. We only seek to bring about more light to the people seeking guidance and pray for all of us to be successful with our Lord in this life and in the Next life and we ask His Guidance and Support in doing so, ameen. \n\nTHE BIBLE\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nOld Testament\n\nThere exists today a number of different versions in the ancient Hebrew language of the Jewish Book called the Torah [Law] and this is usually referred to in Christianity as The Old Testament. Naturally, there have been many different translations to a great number of languages over the centuries and one could not expect them to be identical in text or meaning. What we have in English today still remains somewhat similar to large amounts of these older documents.\n\nNew Testament\n\nThere are also different versions of the Gospel or what is commonly called The New Testament in the Koine Greek language and Latin and these also have many translations to even other langugaes. Even amongst the English translations there are great differences. To mention two very clear differences for example; the Catholic Bible [c. 325 A.D] contains 73 books in total, while the Protestant Bible contains only 66 books, and although the newer (Protestant version) was taken from the Catholic Bible even then these books do not match completely with each other. There is no common denominator for any of the many different versions of the Bible.\n\nDead Sea Scrolls\n\nThere have been a number of scrolls and parchments found in places surrounding what we call the "Holy Land" over the centuries, not the least of which are those often referred to as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or as they are known to the scholars "Wadi Qumran Scrolls." These were discovered in the last century around 1930 and have been proven to be very ancient and could well be older than any other extant manuscripts. Much of what has been translated from these scrolls is similar to some of the oldest manuscripts, but there are still very important differences worthy of note. We would like to recommend some important reading on this topic at the end of this paper.\n\nTHE QURAN\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nQuran Means "Recitation"\n\nThe word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it something that reaches us only in written form. The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is on

No- it is NOT the word of God. Not one bit...\n"Yes because even science proved its authenicy. That gospel is indeed factual."\nTime out! They did prove it was written in the correct time frame- but that does NOT mean the words written are fact... Especially since it is not fact.\n\nGod Bless.

You're not a bad person.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, though that doesn't necessarily mean there is no right or wrong.  As far as the question goes, science cannot prove religion wrong a majority of the time, because science can prove something observable, recordable and repeatable, often things which religion is not.  Also, science is meant to prove the natural, not the supernatural where religion has been known to find it's base.  However, if there are parts of a religion that state something in science as always true, and it has been proven by science that it is NOT the case, then very likely the view is wrong, or at least at that one point.  However, science does often correspond to things in certain religions and is known to be true at such points.  A religion can prove that it is correct, though, depending on it's logic, recognition of human fallibility, and correspondence with things that have been observed to be true.  For example, the Bible, when it's original copies were first discovered, had a list of the ten kings of either Persia or Babylon (i'm not exactly sure which) including their names and when and where they reigned.  This list was already previously known from another manuscript and everything checked out exactly.  For it's worth, they also found three other ancient texts containing the same list, none of which were very legible.  One had only two names clear and half the dates were wrong, another had one name readable and a majority of the dates were incorrect as well as the locations, and in the third all the dates and locations were inaccurate and the only way to know any of the names was to know what the list was about.  Things like that can add to or take away from the credibility of a religion.  So before throwing out a religion entirely, take the 5 best books written for that religion, look at their best arguments, see if they make sense and if you can prove them wrong logically, and then make your decision based on that.

The holy Quran is very precise and there are no reasons to deny what in the verse because simply the sky is really decorated and look nice with the stars otherwise it will be just black and horrible, and if Allah says He sent what you call missles against deviles you can't deny this because this is not detectable by us now, as the bacteria was not dectable for million of years till we discover the microscope. Now one of the miracles of the Quran is its mention of black holes which is just discovered.

I am not saying that your argument is wrong and you may have a point but that only lead you to another thing to proove. If you believe that the Bible was altered by comparing it to the Torah, how sure are you then that the Torah was not altered? Your statement indicates that the Torah is never altered and that's the reason why you compared the writings of the Bible to it, right? Now, why then do you believe that the Torrah has not been altered while the Muslims say otherwise. That authority is even being put to the test by other faiths. They claim that both the Torah and the Holy Bible have been corrupted. So, that leaves you another question to answer and I think you have to proove that too. If then you have proven that the Torah has been altered too, naturally you will have another option to consider and that is to revert to Islam and find out if it too is really a true religion. I wish you good luck.

Dr. Bucaille says:\n“Whereas the Bible calls the sun and moon ‘lights’, and merely adds to one the adjective ‘greater’ and to the other ‘lesser’, the Qur’an ascribes differences other than that of dimesion to each respectively” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).\n\nIn all of these verses, God expresses the notion that the sun and the moon are “not absolutely identical lights” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).\n\nDr. Bucaille draws his conclusions from what he found in the Qur’an about the sun and the moon:\n\n“What is interesting to note here is the sober quality of the comparisons, and the absence in the text of the Qur’an of any elements of comparison that might have prevailed at the time and which in our day would appear as phantasmagorial” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157).\n\nIn short, “There is nothing in the text of the Qur’an that contradicts what we know today about these two celestial\nbodies.” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157)

Please read the book, 'The Bible, The Quran and Science' by Maurice Buccaille, It is very enlightening.

The quran is the natural guide to the way of life and understanding. It is the Standard Operating Procedure for mankind to follow, unlike other happy-go-lucky religions where you just have to believe and automatically u're in heaven. It is a book open to the entire Universe and therefore it's message is universal.\nevery single word is perfectly balanced in such a way that no human will be able to ever duplicate.\nIn it are signs and wonders to the creation of the universe which have been recently proved by modern science such as the expansion of the universe (...And Verily We are Expanding it) and embroyology which many modern day scientists are acknowledging. \nUnlike the bible, the quran asks you to verify SCIENTIFICALLY its verses and seek the truth for yourself.

88.3% of statistics are made up on the spot, including yours.\n\nThe NT is nowhere near accurate. The differences are enormous and range from mistranslations to complete fabrications.\n\nTry taking another look...\n\nPaul vs. Jesus: http://www.wordwiz72.com/paul.html\nFabricated proof texts: http://www.karaites-usa.org/Responding_To_Missionaries/refuting_christian_proof_texts.htm\nPaul's invention of Christianity:\nhttp://wadee3.5u.com/Paul.htm\n\nThe list goes on...\n\nEven if it were accurate, there's nothing unique about a  half-man half-god born-of-a-virgin "saviour", there were several walking around during that period of history, e.g. Romulus and Remus, Perseus, Zoroaster, Mithras, Osiris-Aion, Agdistis, Attis, Tammuz, Adonis, Korybas, and Dionysus.\n\nThere were also plenty of Jewish Messiahs at that time, many of whom found themselves in opposition to Rome and on a cross as a result.\n\nDoes any of this sound familiar?\n\nYou could also say 99.5% of The Lord of the Rings is accurate, but it's still a fiction. Seems to me you're looking in all the wrong places for all the wrong reasons.\n\nAlso have you considered that maybe it's only .5% of your brain that is rational, the other 99.5% lives in fantasyland?  I think that's just as likely, dont you?

Salam All !\nQuran mentioned many many scientfc facts, which led many scientist to embrace Islam like Maurice Bucaille, Garry Miller, you can find more in this link;\nhttp://thetruereligion.org/modules/xfsection/index.php?category=3\n\n. Some of these Topics that Quran mentioned:\n40 Days in the Womb \nEmbryological & Fetal Devt \nPollution & wasting natural resources \nClouds \nThe Water Cycle \nThe dual nature of iron \nThe Spread of Disease \nSun & Moon and Their Orbits \nSun & Moon Move With Own Motion\nIron

To Health nut: You have to learn Arabic to be able to understand and comment on the scientific miracles of the holy Quran. We are scientist and our native language is Arabic so we know better than you. I wish you mentioned one correct statement in our long post. In the holy Quran chapter 39:5 it is not only mentioned clearly and beautifully that the earth is a ball, but in extraordinary expression it mentions that earth rotates over its axis so the day and night alternate, now tell me how you will reject this crystal clear sign?

Quote: "You do realize that not everything in the cosmos is logical, yes?"\n\nAbsolutely. But answering these questions with "God created such and such" goes no further in explaining them. In fact, it simply muddies the waters more by pretending to know the unknowable.\n\nQuote: "Do you think it's wise to arbitrarily mythologize every faith?"\n\nLet's face it, most religions have wrapped themselves in myth far more than we could ever do by offering up fables and patently ridiculous stories. These stories, by the way, suddenly ceased to happen around the same time that science became prominent enough to refute them. \n\nQuote: "The truth is there, but it's not always elegant, and it's not always what we wish it were."\n\nJust briefly, take a look at how science approaches a problem and then how religion does it? Do you see a difference? Science STUDIES a problem, it pursues it from different angles and attempts to understand through hueristic methods. In the end, science pursues truth. Religion simply assumes that it already knows.\n\nEdit: To ChrimsonCarrots below: The Bible has credentials? What credentials? These people were NOT historians with an eye on detail and accuracy. Gospel itself means "good news". The goal was to push the idea of Christianity into a positive light and to perpetuate it. If I remember correctly, the story of the crucifiction is told within four books of the bible, Mathew, Luke, Mark, and Paul, the earliest of which was written AT LEAST forty years AFTER the crucifiction. Are you suggestiing that this is reliable and accurate information?

ok ok the bible as it is now has been arround since at least for 1500 years. But after jesus resurections the diciples use to spread the word by mouth then they wrote the famous letters included in new testaments. The famous dead sea scroll that they found some years ago (1947) came to confirm that the current bible is 100 percent correct.\n\nNow you have the muslims and their incorrect interpretations about bible and jesus, these are their lies to make jesus not the absolut god. \n\nmuslims cant tell about bible, they barerly can tell about quran, where 70% of them dont know what in it.

YES RIGHT! Quran has several fulfilled prophecies. its one of them. \n\nStory of pharaoh that his body will be made example for everyone. then his body found in 19th century. In the Qur’an we find that God promised to preserve the body of the Pharaoh as a sign for later generations (see Qur’an 10:90-92).True to the Qur’anic promise, the mummified body of the Pharaoh was discovered by Loret in 1898 at Thebes in the Kings’ Valley (see The Bible, the Qur’an and Science by Dr. Maurice Bucaille, p. 238). From there it was transported to Cairo. Elliot Smith removed its wrappings on July 8, 1907 and gave a detailed description in his book entitled the Royal Mummies (1912).\nFrom which source did the author of the Qur’an derive this information? How did the author of the Qur’an know that the Pharaoh’s body was preserved whereas the knowledge that the ancient Egyptians mummified their dead was not discovered until recently? And how could the author of the Quran predict that the body of the Pharaoh will be discovered later, unless the author was God Himself?\n\nAnother comparison will again demonstrate that the Qur’an was not copied from the Bible. In the Bible we are told that God drowned the Pharaoh and his army when they pursued Moses, on whom be peace, and his people (see Exodus 14:28). The clear indication in that description is that the body of the Pharaoh perished in the sea. However, the Qur’an dared to differ and prove true. In the Qur’an we find that God promised to preserve the body of the Pharaoh as a sign for later generations (see Quran 10:90-92).
