Do You Know This Book ?
Of all the acclaimed
masterpieces that the world has seen, nothing can be compared to the book known
as the Qur'an. Millions have become Muslims upon simply hearing a verse from
this amazing book, yet still the majority knows nothing of it. The Qur'an is the
Final Revelation from the Creator to humanity. It was revealed in the year 610
CE to the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), and completed over a period of
23 years. These 23 years of revelation resulted in a book which comprised of 114
chapters and over 6000 verses. All of this was to become the primary source of
law for the whole of mankind to live and die by.
The impact of this book is such that Allah says :
"Had
We revealed this Qur'an upon a mountain, surely you would have seen it humble
itself and crumble out of the fear of Allah. Such are the parables We put
forward to mankind so that they may reflect" (Surah Al-Hashr 59:21)
However,
it seems as if the hearts of the people have become harder then the mountains
which tower above us. When the Qur'an is recited or even mentioned, people turn
away with disgust. In the West, this is primarily due to the negative exposure
from the media. It has resulted in many non-Muslims not even wanting to hear the
name of this amazing book. Muslims too, have become hardhearted because of the
cultural influences of the West. Many young Muslims perceive the Qur'an to be
nothing more then an old wrapped up book, which comes off the highest shelf once
a year during Ramadan!
If people
were to truly reflect upon this book, they would realise that nothing in this
world is quite the same. So why should this claim be accepted over others? Why
should the Qur'an be given precedence over the likes of the Bible, the Gita or
the Granth Sahib ? The following reasons will inshallah give an indication as to
why this book deserves the attention of all humanity.
"There is
probably in the world no other book which has remained twelve centuries with so
pure a text". Writing 200 years ago, these are the words of the famous English
critic of Islam, Sir William Muir. But as Muslims we do not need Williarn Muir
to tell us this. 1400 years ago, the Muslims accepted this reality when Allah
revealed to them:
"Indeed it
is We who have sent down the reminder (the Qur'an), and indeed it is Us who
shall preserve it" (Surah
Al-Hijr 15:9)
These
words have proved true to this very day. From the moment the first words were
revealed to Muhammed (saws), to this very day, every single letter and word of
the Qur'an has remained unchanged.
Before
Islam, all the revelations sent were not given this divine assurance. This is
why we find that books like the Bible are riddled with corruption and
inaccuracies. It is well known that man has tampered with the Bible to the
extent that annually different versions are produced to suit trends and desires.
In fact this has been going on for so long that it is almost impossible to see
what of the words of the Creator are left, if any!
With the
Qur'an it is the exact opposite. The contents of this amazing book are stored in
the hearts of millions of Muslims worldwide. Children as young as 12 have
memorised the entire book in its original language, Arabic. There is no other
religious scripture on earth which is orally preserved in its original language
by so many and over such a period of time, without having been tampered
somewhere along the line. The Bible is a prime example of this. Many Christians
believe that English is the divine language of the Bible. However Jesus (as)
spoke Aramaic. From Aramaic, his life-story was translated into Hebrew. From
Hebrew it was translated into Greek. From Greek to Latin, and then finally from
Latin to English! There has not been a single vicar, priest or layman in
recorded history who has even memorised the Bible in English, let alone the
Aramaic! As Muslims we believe the Qur'an can only be in the language it was
revealed in, i.e. Arabic. Anything else is a translation and not the divine
words of the Creator. A true test of this divine preservation would be to burn
all the books and manuscripts in existence, to see which can return as it was.
The Qur'an would be the only book which would return in its original form,
letter for letter, word for word.
Many
Christians say that the Qur'anic claim of preservation needs to be backed-up by
manuscript evidence. For us this is not a necessary criteria, but in order to
quell the doubts, the Muslims have ample proof. Two copies of the Qur'an are in
existence which date back to the Third Caliph Uthmaan, 20 years after the death
of the Prophet (peace be upon him). These two copies are to be found in the
Topkapi museum, Istanbul, Turkey and in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The Tashkent copy
is thought to have been the personal copy of the Caliph as it still contains
stains of his blood, which was shed when he was murdered whilst reading it. Any
copy of the Qur'an which is compared to these copies, will show that there is
not a single difference between what we have today and what was in existence
1400 years ago. Thus Allah's promise holds true.
[size=16]Man as a
creature is fallible. For this reason anything which is produced by him will
naturally have faults. With the Qur'an, such a notion cannot even be considered
as it is from the one who is Infallible. In fact Allah clarifies this matter
beautifully when he says:[/size]
[size=16]
"Do
they not consider the Qur'an? Had it been from other then Allah surely they
would have found much discrepancies within it"
(Surah An-Nisa 4:82)[/size]
[size=16]Throughout
history many have tried to scrutinise and search the Qur'an for mistakes and
errors. To this day no one has been able to bring a shred of proof showing that
this book is not from Allah. Some Christians have even called it the work of the
Devil because the book affected them so much when they read it! With other
scriptures, contradictions, mistakes and absurdities are constantly present.
When people contrast these ambiguities with the Qur'an, it often results in the
acceptance of this faultless book.[/size]
[size=16][size=16]Upon
hearing Qur'anic recitation, you may be rather startled. Besides hearing the
reciter of the prayer, you often hear people in the background sobbing and
wailing heavily. So what is it that makes these people cry so much? It is
nothing more then the beauty and eloquence of this book which moves millions to
tears. This beauty is expressed in the language of Arabic. Allah says :[/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]"Indeed We
have revealed this as an Arabic Qur'an so that you may understand" (Surah Yusuf
12:2) [/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]At the
time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) three modes of expression were used.
There was normal speech, the speech of the soothsayer and poetry. The Arabs were
the masters of their language, and poetry was their cultural highlight. Arabic
poetry is split into 16 categories, each separate from the other. When the
Qur'an was proclaimed to the Arabs it amazed them beyond all limits. It was like
nothing they had ever heard before. It did not fit into the 16 categories of
poetry, nor was it the speech of a soothsayer, and it certainly was not normal
speech. If it was not all these, then it could only be the word of Allah.
[/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]The
eloquence and majesty of the early chapters of the Qur'an moved many to tears,
and the beautiful Qur'anic Arabic converted millions of Arabs in the
Middle-East. Not only did the Qur'an effect the lives of these Arabs, but it
also transformed their culture. Even today, no serious study of the Arabic
language is possible without reference to this book. [/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]The
reaction of some pagans was that they accused Muhammed (peace be upon him) of
being a soothsayer and a madman. In order to silence them, Allah issued a
challenge. At first he asked them to produce a book like the Qur'an. When it
could not be done, Allah asked them to produce ten chapters like it. When this
too could not be done Allah finally stated:[/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]"And if
you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to Our slave, then produce a
chapter like it" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:23) [/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]The
smallest chapter in the Qur'an is only 3 verses long (Chapter 108). The pagans
at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) could not even produce something
as small as this, and since then no one else has completed this impossible task.
All of this is in light of the fact that the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon
him) could not read or write, thus refuting those who say that the Qur'an was
his own handiwork. [/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16]The Qur'an
is the Final book of revelation. After it there will be no more. However, many
have tried to deny this by producing their own new versions of the Qur'an. Among
them have been the two false prophets, Musailama and Ghulam Ahmed. Many Chapters
in the Qur'an are named after animals, such as the Ant, Spider etc. Musailama
tried to copy this, and went about creating a chapter in his book called the
Weasel! In Arabic it is called Al-Wabl and it hardly causes people to be struck
in awe! On the other hand Ghulam Ahmed, the 'British stooge', claimed to receive
revelation in cockney English!! Such foolishness could never compare to the
beauty of the Qur'an with its clear and beautiful Arabic language.[/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]Over the
past few decades much interest has been shown in the scientific content of the
Qur'an. Scientific data which has been discovered in recent times, has been
existent in this book for 1400 years. In fact the very common origin of this
universe is stated clearly by Allah, the Most High:[/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]"Do not
the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, then
We parted them. And We made from water every living thing. Will they then not
believe?" (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30) [/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]This
parting of the heavens and the earth is more commonly known to scientists as the
'big bang'. It is also a fact that life originated from water and that every
living cell is composed of 85% water. Without water life is impossible.
[/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]The
mountains of the earth, like icebergs, have roots going deep into the ground.
This ensures that they will not topple with their extreme heights - this is
known as 'isostasy'. In this way the mountains are like the stakes which are
used to anchor a tent. But this fact is already known to us when Allah says:[/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]"Have
We not made the earth an expanse and the mountains stakes?"
(Surah An-Naba 78:6-7) [/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]and
"Allah
has cast into the ground mountains standing firm so that it does not shake with
you" (Surah
Luqman 31:10) [/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16]The
embryological data which is found in the Qur'an is astounding. Allah describes
the formation of a baby inside the womb from the very moment the sperm reaches
the ovum, to its formation into a human. This data, which was only discovered
about 30 years ago, has amazed many westem scientists. Amongst them is Dr Keith
Moore from the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr Moore is a recognised authority
in embryological circles, with his university text book being set as a standard
text in many universities throughout the world. When Dr Moore was asked as to
how this information in the Qur'an could be explained, he replied: "It could
only have been divinely revealed". [/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16][size=16]The Qur'an
is a book of historical accuracy. One accuracy which has corrected the mistakes
of many Christians and historians, is the fate of the pharaoh who drowned in the
Red Sea whilst pursuing Moses. The Biblical story would have us believe that the
matter ended when the pharaoh drowned. But the Qur'an explains further. When he
was drowning the pharaoh confessed his faith in Allah. But it was too late, and
Allah promised him: "This
day We shall preserve you in your body, so that you may be a sign for those who
come after you. But indeed many of mankind are heedless of Our signs" (Surah
Yunus 10:92) [/size][/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16][size=16]In 1898
the tombs of various pharaohs were discovered in the Valley of the Kings, in
Egypt. In 1975 Dr Maurice Bucaille, an eminent French surgeon was allowed to
examine the mummified bodies of Rameses II and the pharaoh who had pursued Moses
- Merneptah. Dr Bucaille discovered that Merneptah had received very violent
blows to several parts of his body and had suffered a massive heart attack.
Amazingly, these are the results which occur when someone dies from drowning!
Thus Allah had saved the body of the transgressing pharaoh as a sign for all
humanity. [/size][/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16][size=16]For those
who say that Muhammed (saws) knew his history and wrote it in the Qur'an, the
following shall prove otherwise. In the year 615 CE the Roman army was defeated
by the Persians. About this event Allah revealed:
"The Romans have been defeated in
the lowest land, but in a few years they shall be victorious again, within three
to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after, is only with Allah"
(Surah Ar-Rum 30:2-4) [/size][/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16][size=16]The words
of Allah proved true as the Persians were defeated at the battle of Issus, 7
years later in 622 CE. There is no possible way that Muhammed (peace be upon
him) could have known (if he wrote the Qur'an) that the Romans would be
victorious. In fact he also did not know that the 'lowest land' at which the
battle was fought was literally that. The battle in 615 CE was fought on the
shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest point below sea level on earth, at 1300 ft.
[/size][/size][/size][/size]
[size=16][size=16][size=16][size=16]A book
with these credentials could only be from the Creator of the heavens and the
earth. A book which we need to acquaint ourselves with. A book . . .
"...which has been revealed to you
(O' Muhammed) so that you may lead mankind out of the darkness and into the
light" (Surah lbrahim 14:1)[/size][/size][/size][/size]
