There are proofs supporting the belief that the Quran is from Allah

I wish to thank my partner for his great deal of professionalism that he has shown throughout this debate. This round, I will defend my opening arguments and, if time permits, I will defend my rebuttals. THE CASE AGAINST THE QUR’AN My partner makes a ad hominem on my source, Ibn Warraq, by saying that we cannot take his work seriously. Ad hominem means “against the man” or “against the person.” It is made when you reject my claims based upon the author of my source rather than the proposition being made.[1] IS THE QUR’AN THE WORD OF GOD? The Qur’an states that the Qur’an has no human author. If there was anything in the Qur’an that cannot be the Word of God, then obviously the Qur’an is false. There are several places which the Qur’an says such a thing: 1. 17:88, “Say: ‘If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.’” 2. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad, Peace be upon him ), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful. [Qur'an 2:23] As Goldziher points out:[2] Devout Mu’tazilites voiced similar opinions [as the Kharijites who impugned the reliability of the text of the Qur’an] about those parts of the Qur’an in which the Prophet utters curses against his enemies. God could not have called such opassages ‘a noble Quran on a well-guarded tablet’” Ibn Warraq continues:[3] As we shall see, if we were to apply the same reasoning to all parts of the Qur’an, there would not be much left as the word of God since very little of it is worthy of a Merciful and Compassionate, All-Wise God. Dashti notes:[4] The praise of Him who carried His servant from Mecca to Palestine cannot be God’s utterance, because God does not praise Himself, and therefore must be Muhammad’s thanksgiving to God for this favor So as we see, one cannot say that the Qur’an is the ENTIRE and PURE Word of God “preserved on a tablet” if there truly was a human author that wrote part of the Qur’an. This is the argument, my partner misrepresented the argument. FOREIGN VOCABULARY OF THE QUR’AN I, for one, am well aware that the Qur’an means “recital” in Arabic. However, my partner once again strawmans my position. I argue that the Qur’an cannot possibly be purely Arabic. One tradition tells us that “anyone who pretends that there is in the Qur’an anything other than the Arabic tongue has made a serious charge against God.” Yet, I point out that the Qur’an is not entirely in Arabic because there are words deriving from different languages into the Arabic tongue. Al-Suyuti points out that there are over 107 foreign words in the Qur’an and over 275 words that can be considered foreign. My partner hasn’t refuted this argument. VERSES MISSING, VERSES ADDED Un-refuted. For now, I wish to go to the Hadith in order to find support for this claim and further back up my point. THE QUR’AN WAS COMPILED BECAUSE OF VARIANT READINGS IN THE QUR’AN Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and the Christians did before." So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and 'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt. Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse from Surat Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting it. So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari. (That Verse was): 'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23) Volume 6, Book 61, Number 510, Narrated Anas bin Malik. VARIOUS MANUSCRIPTS HAVE DIFFERENT VERSES Zaid bin Thabit said, "When the Quran was compiled from various written manuscripts, one of the Verses of Surat Al-Ahzab was missing which I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting. I could not find it except with Khuzaima bin Thabjt Al-Ansari, whose witness Allah's Apostle regarded as equal to the witness of two men. And the Verse was:-- "Among the believers are men who have been true to what they covenanted with Allah." (33.23) Volume 4, Book 52, Number 62, Narrated Kharija bin Zaid.
