The Quran in The Quran

By: Maged Taman

1- The Quran is from God: see the strong powerful components of the verse 10:37:
1- the Quran is not to be invented despite of God,
2- it is a confirmation to the books of the Jews and Christians
3- it is an explanation to what God decreed to mankind
4- it is from the Lord of the worlds.
See how the 4 points are so powerful and more powerful when you go from 1 to 4.
10:37 And this quran is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind-- Therein is no doubt--from the Lord of the Worlds. وَمَا كَانَ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنُ أَن يُفْتَرَى مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلَـكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (10:37)

2- The Quran is inspired through the angel of God Gabriel:
26:192 And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds, وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (26:192)
26:193 Which the True Spirit hath brought down نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ (26:193)
26:194 Upon thy heart, that thou mayest be (one) of the warnersعَلَى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ (26:194)

3- The Quran descended in intervals: this give time to Muslims to recite it and memorize as well to study the verses.
17:106 And (it is) a Quran that We have divided, that thou mayest recite it unto mankind at intervals, and We have revealed it by (successive) revelation. وَقُرْآناً فَرَقْنَاهُ لِتَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلَى مُكْثٍ وَنَزَّلْنَاهُ تَنزِيلاً (17:106)

4- The best of God creation is the Quran and man:
55:1 The Beneficent الرَّحْمَنُ 55:1)
55:2 Hath made known the Quran. عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ (55:2)
55:3 He hath created man. خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ (55:3)

5- The Quran is from The wise and knowing (God): The most appropriate to describe the author of the Quran.
27:6 Lo! as for thee (Muhammad), thou verily receivest the quran from the presence of One Wise, Aware. وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْآنَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ (27:6)

6- The renowned Quran: God swear by the Quran in the Quran. He described as renowned it is proved to be the most known and explored by humanity over ages with God other revelation the Bible.
38:1 Sad. By the renowned quran, ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ (38:1)

7- The Quran is good for this life and the afterlife: In this life it give us the right way in this life which make us happy and the reward in the hereafter.
17:9 Lo! this quran guideth unto that which is straightest, and giveth tidings unto the believers who do good works that theirs will be a great reward. إِنَّ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنَ يِهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا (17:9)

8- The Quran has the Fataha (opening) Sura introduction to itself: As with most books it has introduction, the opening sura which give you the simple summary of Islam followed by the other rest of the Quran.
15:87 We have given thee seven of the oft repeated (verses of Fatha) and the great quran. -
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ (15:87)

9- The Quran is the judge between mankind: the prophet was asked to use it to judge between people and not by their desires.
4:105 Lo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture (Quran) with the truth, that thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be not thou a pleader for the treacherous; - إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَا أَرَاكَ اللّهُ وَلاَ تَكُن لِّلْخَآئِنِينَ خَصِيمًا (4:105)

10- The Quran is statements and all kinds of similitude:
30:58 Verily We have coined for mankind in the quran all kinds of similitudes; and indeed if thou comest unto them with a miracle, those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters! وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ وَلَئِن جِئْتَهُم بِآيَةٍ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُبْطِلُونَ (30:58)

11- The Quran is two kind of verses clear and allegorical: Many of the verses that were allegorical came to be more clear over the years as the verses that talk about science as we sent down iron, we created the heavens with might and we are expanding, and so forth.
3:7 He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations--They are the substance of the book--and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.
هُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ في قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاء الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاء تَأْوِيلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلاَّ اللّهُ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُوْلُواْ الألْبَابِ (3:7)

12- God promised to preserve the Quran: He did that with no change in one verse or letter over 1400 years.
15:9 Lo! We, even We, reveal the reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian. إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ (15:9)

13- God challenges the Jinn and Mankind to bring the like of the Quran:
17:88 Say: Verily, though mankind and the jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof though they were helpers one of another. -
قُل لَّئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى أَن يَأْتُواْ بِمِثْلِ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنِ لاَ يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا (17:88)
