What Is The Proof That The Quran Is Supernatural / Divine?
My principles argument is that the Arabs did not use this to prove the divinity of the Quran. So why should we?
To replicate means to match the merit of Quran which never met.
No one had replicated Shakespeare. That doesn’t make it divine
If you could read my first response again to appreciate the fact that there is no objection recorded on the compilation and order of the content of Quran.
You mentioned how previous scriptures were corrected. Here is what the bible says about those who took the calf for worship: Exodus 32:33 – Revised Standard Version But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Verse 35 says they had a plague sent upon them for what they did. Quran 2:54 says God forgave them in the end after calling for them to kill each other. Then there is also the matter of Harun AS and the bible alleging that he built the calf. How do we know that the Quran corrected the previous scriptures? Surely both are just saying their own stories. I’m sure Christians and Jews disagree with the Quranic sequence of events when it come sot some historical events like this.
Interesting discussion but too many points have been mentioned. Here’s my on take on few 1. Arabs accepted Quran as divine because it subjugated their most prized possession, Language. We can never fully comprehend that because Arabs had access to “recited” Quran and we r limited to “printed” Quran. Arabs understood the spoken word without Harakat and different signs of emphasis. Recall when u felt embarrassed when someone yelled at u and imagine if that yelling was printed for someone else to read, it’ll never have the same effect at all 2. Scientific miracles meant nothing to Arabs cuz they didn’t know science! They were close to nature and that’s what Quran referred to 3. Since it’s a book for ages, it contain subtle signs for latter people and it nothing but natural that Allah put some relatable details for future generations since the miracle of language can not be preserved forever 4. Science and Quran do not go hand in hand. Quran is way ahead and science has to play catch-up and it’s also natural cuz human knowledge grows slowly and time bound. Science doesn’t prove Quran or vice versa. It’s only a supplement human understanding 5. Quran is collected by oral tradition and not written so it’s completely fool proof 6. Allah asked to make a surah and call your own scholars to confirm if it’s like Quran. Challenge remains open!
