6.6 Truthfulness of Muhammad
(pbuh)
"And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the
word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh
in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come
to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not
spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it
presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."
Deuteronomy 18:21-22
So if the statements made in the Qur'an were not true
then this would prove that it is not the word of God.
However, there is not a single claim made in the Qur'an that
has been scientifically and objectively refuted as false.
Quite the contrary, there is not one, but tens of scientific
and historical statements to be found in the Qur'an which
have just begun to be scrutinized by modern scientists and
historians and which, according to many non-Muslim world
renowned, pioneering scientists of the United States,
Germany, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, India and many other
nations, could not have been known by an illiterate man of
the desert fourteen hundred years ago (see Chapter
13). They themselves have only discovered these facts
through the use of microscopes, telescopes, satellites, and
various other scientific equipment that was not available to
Muhammad (pbuh). These statements range over the fields of
Embryology, Oceanography, Geology, Astronomy, Anatomy,
Physics, and many others. Some of them have only been
discovered during the last twenty years. These facts could
not even have been copied from the Bible because many of
them are either completely missing from the Bible or totally
oppose similar verses in the Bible. If Muhammad (pbuh) had
plagiarized the Bible, then did he also selectively correct
incorrect scientific statements in it? It is also
interesting to note that Christian scholars readily
acknowledge that the Bible was not translated into Arabic
until at least the eighth century AD, long after the death
of Muhammad (pbuh) in 632C.E. You may get a side-by-side
comparison of the Biblical vs. the Quranic versions of many
scientific facts by referring to Dr. Maurice Bucaille's
books: "The
Bible, the Qur'an, and Science."
I also highly recommend the following books: "Qur'an and
modern science Correlation Studies," by Keith L. Moore,
Abdul-Majeed A. Zindani, Mustafa A. Ahmed, and "The
developing Human," By Dr. Keith Moore. These books speak
about embryology in the Qur'an, and other topics.
