"How do you know that the Quran is really from God?"?
400491
Peace on you...Muslims have something that offers the most clear proof of all - The Holy Quran. There is no other book like it anywhere on earth. It is absolutely perfect in the Arabic language. It has no mistakes in grammar, meanings or context. The scientific evidences are well known around the entire world, even amongst non-Muslim scholars. Predictions in the Quran have come true; and its teachings are clearly for all people, all places and all times. No one has been able to produce a book like it, nor ten chapters like it, nor even one chapter like it. It was memorized by thousands of people during the lifetime of Muhammad, peace be upon him, and then this memorization was passed down from teacher to student for generation after generation, from mouth to ear and from one nation to another. Today every single Muslim has memorized some part of the Quran in the original Arabic language that it was revealed in over 1,400 years ago, even though most of them are not Arabs. There are over nine million (9,000,000) Muslims living on the earth today who have totally memorized the entire Quran, word for word, and can recite the entire Quran, in Arabic just as Muhammad, peace be upon him, did 14 centuries ago. May Allah bless us.

Allah (God) revealed the Quran through Prophet Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).  Therefore, the Quran is God's word but Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) spread the Message.  Hope this helped.

I think only proof of miracles done by Jesus is Quran. Tell you why ? Quran claims itself to be from God and asks those who denies this to bring something comparable in Arabic to Quran. This is a challange that has baffled critics of Quran for centuries. They used to meet each year and promise to bring something by next year, they worked hard and till today, they could not produce something similar to one chapter in Quran. So since Quran prooves itself to be a book of God, we can believe affirm our belief in Jesus also.\n\nI will give below few words of George Sale, a christian missinary and critic, who has studied Arabic and translated Quran to English.\n\n"I will mention but one instance out of several, to show that this book was really admired for the beauty of its composure by those who must be allowed to have been competent judges.  A poem of Labîd Ebn Rabîa, one of the greatest wits in Arabia in Mohammed’s time, being fixed up on the gate of the temple of Mecca, an honour allowed to none but the most esteemed performances, none of the other poets durst offer anything of their own in competition with it.  But the second chapter of the Korân being fixed up by it soon after, Labîd himself (then an idolater) on reading the first verses only, was struck with admiration, and immediately professed the religion taught thereby, declaring that such words could proceed from an inspired person only.\n\nThe style of the Korân is generally beautiful and fluent, especially where it imitates the prophetic manner and scripture phrases.  It is concise and often obscure, adorned with bold figures after the eastern taste, enlivened with florid and sententious expressions, and in many places, especially where the majesty and attributes of GOD are described, sublime and magnificent; of which the reader cannot but observe several instances, though he must not imagine the translation comes up to the original, notwithstanding my endeavours to do it justice.\n\n   Though it be written in prose, yet the sentences generally conclude in a long continued rhyme, for the sake of which the sense is often interrupted, and unnecessary repetitions too frequently made, which appear still more ridiculous in a translation, where the ornament, such as it is, for whose sake they were made, cannot be perceived.  However, the Arabians are so mightily delighted with this jingling, that they employ it in their most elaborate compositions, which they also embellish with frequent passages of, and allusions to, the Korân, so that it is next to impossible to understand them without being well versed in this book.\n\n   It is probable the harmony of expression which the Arabians find in the Korân might contribute not a little to make them relish the doctrine therein taught, and give an efficacy to arguments which, had they been nakedly proposed without this rhetorical dress, might not have so easily prevailed.  Very extraordinary effects are related of the power of words well chosen and artfully placed, which are no less powerful either to ravish or amaze than music itself; wherefore as much has been ascribed by the best orators to this part of rhetoric as to any other.  He must have a very bad ear who is not uncommonly moved with the very cadence of a well-turned sentence; and Mohammed seems not to have been ignorant of the enthusiastic operation of rhetoric on the minds of men; for which reason he has not only employed his utmost skill in these his pretended revelations, to preserve the dignity and sublimity of style, which might seem not unworthy of the majesty of that Being, whom he gave out to be the author of them; and to imitate the prophetic manner of the Old Testament; but he has not neglected even the other arts of oratory; wherein he succeeded so well, and so strangely captivated the minds of his audience, that several of his opponents thought it the effect of witchcraft and enchantment, as he sometimes complains."\n\nWe can see that eventh

Asalam Alaikum\nRemember the Bible has been changed and is not in it correct form as Allah has sent it down. That is why the Quran was sent and promised by Allah to be protected from deception. So even though some of the Bible may be true you can not take any of its text as true or not true. The Quran is the only book to find the truth in brother.

Thank you for your question.\n\nThe Qur'an was a revelation given to Muhammad (saw). He then repeated it to his companions who then memorized it. There were some people who wrote down what Muhammad (saw) said. After his (saw) death these writings were collected and a group of people who had actually heard Muhammad (saw) teach the Qur'an compiled the ones they unanimously agreed were accurate into the mishaf (book) that we now know as the Qur'an.\n\nMuhammad (saw) himself was illiterate and did not write anything but rather memorized and repeated what was revealed from God to him (saw) through the angel Jibril (Gabriel)\n\nThere are three accepted Romanizations of the word they are 1. Qur'an 2. Koran 3. Quran. The spanish spelling is usually Coran.\n\nThe arabic word Qur'an means "The Recital" and stems from the origin of the revelation wherin Jibril commands Muhammad (saw) to "Recite". This also points to the actual revelation being an oral one. The book that we have is not the actual Quran but is a physical representation of it, called Mishaf.\n\nThe Quran has been translated into many different laguages although many say it is impossible to truly understand it except in its original language - Arabic. Even modern day native Arabic speakers have a hard time with it because Quranic Arabic is not like modern spoken Arabic. Just as an English speaker might have some degree of problems understanding poetry from the middle ages, \n\nTrue understanding of the Quran comes from the heart and from knowledge of what are called Quranic sciences, exigesis and other commentaries written by contemporaries of Muhammad (saw) and his companions and scholars who have studied these subjects.\n\nI hope I have answered your question.\n\nPeace and Blessings,\n\nSalim

The correct spelling for it is Qur'an. \n\nIt has been the source of Allah's wisdom for more than fourteen centuries for Muslims throughout the world. This message to humanity was sent down in Arabic, over a period spanning approximately 23 years, but since then it has been translated into many other languages. The Quran has not been expressed by using any human's words. Its wording is letter for letter fixed by Allah alone, and Allah has guaranteed that He will protect the Quran from any human tampering. Therefore The Qur'an of today is the same as the Qur'an revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and the exact copies of original Arabic text are available all over the world.\n\nThe Qur'an is a guidance for those who want and need it.This means that every aspect of the individual’s daily existence is guided by Islam: his family relations, his business relations, his education, his health, the means and manner by which he gains his livelihood, his philanthropy, what he sees and hears around him, what he reads, the way he regulates his time, the buildings in which he lives, learns and earns.\n\nMore at..... http://convertingtoislam.com/quran.html

True!\n\nWe believe each and every verse in Quran is from Allah and is TRUE!\n\n Or say you that Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob) and Al-Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allâh (knows better… that they all were Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him when he comes, written in their Books. (See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allâh? And Allâh is not unaware of what you do."

This is a great question!\nThe reference shows what lengths theists will go to and with what contrived logic they will use to "prove" the infallibility of their own mythological texts. In this case, the argument of proof seems to reside in two "facts":\n1) The koran was written so as not to confuse the arabs of its day by making sure that they could understand the scientific principles involved. The "God didn't want to give us too much info or confuse us with correct verifiable facts" explaination.\n2) The koran is right, because the area refered to contains blood and sperm is made from blood. By this logic, I live on Mars because thay've found some Martian meteorites on earth.\n\nIt is amazing how far theists will go to attest to their own brand of truth without any substantial proof except "faith". If I believe in faeries at the bottom of my garden, will they be real?

i believe in the Holy Qur'an  .\n\nQur'an  was written fourteen centuries ago .The fact that the Qur'an is consistent with science still today ((mentioned facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists)).therefore, is a powerful piece of evidence of the authenticity of the Qur'an as God's word. This is particularly impressive when we consider recent scientific discoveries which are found to be already stated in some form in the Qur’an.

The Holy Quran : \n \n[9:1] This is a declaration of complete vindication on the part of Allah and His Messenger to the idolaters to whom you had announce a commitment that Islam would triumph in Arabia. \n\n[2:112] And they say. 'None shall ever enter Heaven unless he be a Jew or a Christian.' These are their vain desires. Say, 'Produce your proof, if you are truthful.'\n\n[[3:68] Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian but he was ever inclined to God and obedient to Him, and he was not of those who associate gods with the Lord.\n\n[2:114] And the Jews say, 'The Christians stand on nothing' and the Christians say, 'The Jews stand on nothing;' while they both read the same book. Even thus said those, who had no knowledge, like what they say. But God shall judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they disagree.\n\n[9:30] And the Jews say, 'Ezra is the son of God,' and the Christians say, 'the Messiah is the son of God;' that is what they say with their mouths. They only imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. \n\n[5:45] Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to US, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law, because they were required to preserve the Book of God,, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore fear not men but fear ME; and barter not My signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which the Lord has sent down, these it is who are the disbelievers.\n\n[62:7] Say, 'O ye who are Jews, if you claim that you are the friends of God to the exclusion of all other peoples, then wish for death, if, indeed, you are truthful.\n\n[22:79] And strive in the cause of the Lord as it behoves you to strive for it. He has chosen you and has laid no hardship upon you in the matter of religion; so follow the faith of your father Abraham; He has named you Muslims both before and in this Book, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over mankind. Therefore observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, and hold fast to God. He is your Protector and an Excellent Protector and an Excellent Helper

BOB:I EDITED IT. I'M LOGGING OUT. TYPE YOUR QUESTIONS. I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM LATER.\n\nHey "Bob". Now, you need to know that the Koran is poetic. God also said that he kept the planets not colliding with each other. But we know that it is caused by gravity.\n\nGod also said that He is closer to us than the jugular vein. There is a hadith that said that He can ve contained in a pious slave's heart. Now all these references are poetic.\n\nThere are other translations, such as Pickthall's, that translated the word into "heavens".\n \nAccording to Yusuf Ali's translation, it is referred as "rain".\n\nMaybe, just maybe, that He was referring to comets and meteors. Maybe He said "the sky" because 1400 years ago, Arabs didn't know about comets and meteors. The verse also states that it can fall by His leave, His power, it can fall. There are records that meteors have hit the earth. But this is just my opinion.\n\nEDIT: Punishment for satan is in hell. Those verses are talking about the punishments waiting for satan in hell. The words did not say comets, but FIRE.\n\nBesides, you haven't stated your thoughts on the other translations by Pickthall or Yusuf Ali.\n\nEDIT:Oh, wait. I remembered your point of "air falling on earth" thing. Now, as you read it, you do realise that the verse states:\n\n....and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command?...\n\nIf there was a storm or strong wind, rain, etc (the sky falling, as if there was heavy winds, as described poeticly),surely the ship's sailing was to be affected and face possibility of shipwreck?

All of you unable to face the miracle of the Qur'an.\nall you do is craing. and said " Jesus is the God Jesus is the God''.Some say " one day we will know Who is God ".I say, why do not know now?\nMuslims knew by scientific evidences Who is the God,so what prevents you from knowing God?
