Quoted
from the "ISLAM REVEALED"
THE
QURAN EXPOSED
Thus We have revealed
it as a Lecture in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats,
that peradventure they may keep from evil or that it may cause them to
take heed....
Say: Verily, though
mankind and Jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Qur’ân,
they could not produce the like thereof though they were helpers one of
another.
IS
THE QURAN A MIRACLE?
It is claimed by Arab
scholars that the literary style of the Quran is superior to all other
books in the Arabic language. Although this is not totally true, this no
more proves its inspiration than a man's strength demonstrates his wisdom,
or a woman's beauty her virtue. Only by its teachings, principles, and
content can a book be judged rightly, not by its eloquence, elegance, or
poetic strength. By reading the life of Muhammad and the history of the
Quran, one could conclude that the Quran reflects the life and character
of Muhammad. The following is the opinion of the famed Dr. Tisdall, who
is one of the most capable twentieth-century studies of the Quran .
The Qur'an breathes
the air of the desert, it enables us to hear the battle-cries of the Prophet's
followers as they rushed to the onset, it reveals the working of Muhammad's
own mind, and shows the gradual declension of his character as he passed
from the earnest and sincere though visionary enthusiast into the conscious
imposter and open sensualist.3
