The Proclamation of The Quran

Verses from http://www.islamicity.cim/ Verses translated by Picketall and Asad

By: Maged Taman

The proclamation of God in the Quran that it is a recitation and revelation from him and not other than him is quite clear in the verses of the Quran. The proclamation does not come with no evidences, God gave the evidences in the Quran as his book. He as well challenge you to prove otherwise, meaning to prove any one else made it including if Muhammad himself and even Satan. God even made it a fair challenge: that it is not his book if we or the Jinns even in a very collective manner can produce the like of the Quran. Over the next 1400 years or so no one produced like the Quran including the governments of the world.

These are collection of many verses in the Quran were God proclaim it is his book:

وَمَا كَانَ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنُ أَن يُفْتَرَى مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلَـكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (10:37) Baset - Hussari - Minshawi
10:37 (Picktall) 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.

الَر كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ (14:1) Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءهُمْ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقاً مِّنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (2:146) Baset - Hussari - Minshawi

46:29 (Asad) AND LO! We caused a group of unseen beings to incline towards thee, [O Muhammad,] so that they might give ear to the Qur’an; and so, as soon as they became aware of it, they said [unto one another], “Listen in silence!” And when [the recitation] was ended, they returned to their people as warners.

قُل لَّئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى أَن يَأْتُواْ بِمِثْلِ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنِ لاَ يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا (17:88) Baset - Hussari - Minshawi
