Holy Quran Divine Revelation or Human Authorship!

Share the post :

Revelation is a supernatural communication between Allah, Almighty, and His Messenger. Orientalists and modernists have raised many uncertainties to make doubt on the divine source of Qur’an. In this article, we discuss three main uncertainties:

1- The uncertainty of psychological revelation: This uncertainty claims that revelation is merely a psychological state, and that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) relied on his genius and ideas, benefiting from previous religions such as Judaism and Christianity.

2- The uncertainty of religious experience: This uncertainty assumes that revelation is a sensory experience or a sensory perception similar to the mystical reveal, but it lacks evidence for this alleged similarity between revelation and mystical reveal.

3- The uncertainty of intertextuality (quoting from previous sources): This uncertainty claims that Qur’an has multiple original sources, including pre-Islamic poetry and previous religions, basing on an alleged similarity between Qur’anic verses and poetry by Imru’ al-Qais and Umayya ibn Abi al-Salt.

The article, then, discusses the accuracy and correctness of these uncertainties, and concludes that the Qur’anic text is unique and authentic.
