The Qur'an The Word Of God

If the Qur'an is the word of God, and a miracle proving the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (pbuh) we must look carefully at this book and establish without doubt its authenticity. It is well known that the pagan Arabs of the time of Muhammad (pbuh) were great poets and writers of the Arabic language. It was common at the time for them to go into the dessert to study Arabic and write poetry and prose with which to entertain each other. They held the Arabic language with all its fluidity and depth of expression in great esteem.
Lokacin da wahayi ya fara zuwa ga Muhammad ﷺ a shekararsa ta arba'in, salon harshen da aka yi amfani da shi ne ya bambanta wahayin da duk wani abu da ya gabace shi, ko ma wanda ya biyo bayansa.
When the revelation started to come to Muhammad in his fortieth year it was the style of language which set the revelation apart from anything that had been before or indeed since.
Hujjar da ba za ta girgiza ba game da ingancin Alkur'ani a matsayin maganar Allah tana cikin salon harshensa. Tun daga ayar farko:
The unshakable proof of the authenticity of the Qur'an as the word of God is in its style of language. From the first verse:
Karanta: Da sunan Ubangijinka wanda Ya halitta, Ya halitta mutum daga gudan jini. Karanta:
"Read: In the name of thy Lord who createth, Createth man from a clot. Read:
Kuma Ubangijinka shi ne Mafi Karimci, Wanda ya koyar da alƙalami, Ya koyar da mutum abin da bai sani ba. (96:1-5)
and thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, Who teaches by the pen, Teaches man that which he knew not" (96:1-5)
"A yau na cika muku addininku, na cika muku ni'imata ta, kuma na yarda muku da Musulunci a matsayin addini." (5:3)
through to ; "This day I have perfected your Deen (way in life) for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as Deen Al-Islam." (5:3)

Yana zama kamar guda ɗaya cikakke, salonsa ɗaya ne kamar dai jumla guda ce, tare da tsari cikakke da rubutu mai ƙarfi da sauƙi. Kalmomin da aka kawo a cikinsa ba su taɓa sanuwa ga Larabawa ba a lokacin ko kafin lokacin, kuma akwai abubuwan da ba za a iya bayyanawa ba waɗanda ba a taɓa ji ba a baya. Ɗaya daga cikin mawaƙan Larabawa marasa imani a wancan lokaci, Walid ibn Al-Mughirah, ya ce bayan ya ji Al-Qur'ani:
The Qur'an remains completely at the height of eloquence, rhetoric, and coherent expression. It acts as one complete piece, with the style the same as if it is one sentence, with perfect arrangements and strong plain text. The expressions brought were not known to the Arabs at the time or before that time, and matters cannot be expressed that have not been previously felt. One of the disbelieving Arab poets of the time Walid ibn Al Mughirah said after hearing the Qur'an:
"Ta Allah: Babu wani daga cikinku da ya fi ni sanin waƙoƙi, da wakokin yabo masu daɗin saurare, da taƙaice. Ta Allah, ban taɓa jin wani abu kama da abin da yake faɗa ba. Yana da daɗi da kyau sosai, har ya kasance a kololuwa babu abin da zai fi shi. Alkur'ani yana cikin salon adabi da babu mutum da zai iya kusantarsa ko daidaita shi. Larabawa ba za su iya daidaita salonsa ba, kuma wannan ƙalubale ne da Allah ya gabatar a cikin Alkur'ani."
"By God: None of you is more conversant than I with poetry, melodious hymns, and songs, and by God never did I hear anything similar to which he says. It is so sweet, and so graceful that it remains at the summit with nothing to surpass it." The Qur'an is in a literary style that no human can approach or match. Its style the Arabs cannot match, and it is this challenge which God has set forth within the Qur'an.
"Ka ce: Lalle ne, da mutane da aljanu sun taru don su kawo irin wannan Alƙur'ani, ba za su iya kawo irinsa ba, koda kuwa sun taimaki juna."[17:88] "Idan kuma kuna cikin shakka game da abin da Muna saukarwa ga bawanmu (Muhammad ﷺ), to ku kawo sura irinta, kuma ku kira shaidunku baicin Allah idan kun kasance masu gaskiya."[2:23] "Ko kuwa suna cewa: Ya ƙirƙire shi ne? Ka ce: To ku kawo sura irinsa, kuma ku kira duk wanda za ku iya baicin Allah, idan kun kasance masu gaskiya."[10:38] Wannan ƙalubale ga duk masu shakka ya kasance ba a amsa shi ba har fiye da shekara 1400.
"Say: verily though mankind and the Jinn should assemble to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like there of though they were helpers one of another"[17:88] "And if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our apostle (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witnesses beside Allah if you are truthful"[2:23] "Or they say: He has invented it? Say: then bring a Surah like unto it and call (for help) on all ye can besides Allah if you are truthful"[10:38] It is this challenge to all that doubt that has remained unanswered in over 1400

years since this revelation. Not one scholar of the Arabic language either Muslim or Non-Muslim has been able to write even one small chapter or paragraph in the same style of Arabic to that of the Qur'an. The Arabs are either able to imitate the style of the Qur'an or not, if they could then the book is clearly the work of men like them. If not then there are only two other possible sources Muhammad, or God.
Muhammadu ﷺ yana da jinin Larabawa da harshen Larabci, amma bai taba ikirarin cewa shi ne marubucin Alkur'ani ba. A gaskiya ma, ba a taba kalubalantar sa a matsayin marubucin Alkur'ani ba, kuma ana iya ganin haka a fili daga Hadisi Mutawatir (maganganun Annabi ﷺ da aka tabbatar sosai, wadanda aka ruwaito kalma-da-kalma) wadanda suke da dimbin yawa, cewa salon harshen maganganun Muhammadu ﷺ da na Alkur'ani sun bambanta sosai. Kuma komai kokarin mutum, salon magana ba zai iya canzuwa gaba daya cikin daidaito ba, balle kuma a cikin tsawon shekaru 23 da aka saukar da Alkur'ani. Abin da kawai aka taba zargin Muhammadu ﷺ da shi shi ne cewa ya karbi Alkur'anin daga wani matashi Bakirista mai suna Jaber.
Muhammad (pbuh) was of Arabic blood and tongue but never claimed to be the author of the Qur'an. In fact he was never challenged as its author, it can be seen clearly from Hadith Mutawatir (definitely confirmed sayings of Muhammad - narrated word for word) of which there are many hundreds that the style of language in Muhammad's speech and the Qur'an are very different. And no matter how hard one tries, one's style of speech cannot be completely altered consistently, and certainly not over a period of 23 years in which the Qur'an was revealed. The only accusation ever leveled at Muhammad (pbuh) was that he received it from a Christian youth called Jaber.
Domin amsa wannan zargi, sai Allah ya saukar da wannan ayar:
As a response to this allegation God revealed:
"Lalle mun sani cewa sun ce, 'Mutum ne kawai yake koya masa.' Harshen wanda suke nuni da shi cikin mugunta na baƙi ne sosai, alhali wannan Larabci ne tsantsa, bayyananne."[16:103] Tunda salon harshen Larabci ne mu'jizar Alƙur'ani, ta yaya mai magana da wani harshe ba Balarabe ba zai tabbatar da wannan gaskiyar? Kamar yadda ɗalibin baƙo yake nazarin Shakespeare daga malamin harshen Ingilishi, haka ma mai magana da Ingilishi ya kamata ya koma ga malaman Larabci domin samun ingantaccen tabbaci game da girman fasaha da salon Alƙur'ani. Harshen yana zama abin tunatarwa a kowane zamani, kuma salon da yake daidai ya tabbatar da cewa babu abin da za a iya ƙarawa a cikin Alƙur'ani.

"We know indeed that they say, 'It is a man that teaches him.' The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear."[16:103] Since it is the style of the Arabic language that is the miracle of the Qur'an, how can the non-Arab speaker confirm this fact? Just as the foreign student studies Shakespeare from the English language scholar, so too should the English speaker refer to the scholars of Arabic for the true confirmation of the height of eloquence and style of the Qur'an. The language serves as a constant reminder over the ages, and also the consistent style has ensured that nothing could be added to the Qur'an. Indeed God has promised that the book would be protected, and there are copies of the most ancient manuscript which are letter for letter the same as all copies today.
"Lo! Mu, Mu ne Mai saukar da Tunatarwa, kuma Mu ne lalle Masu tsaronta"[15:9] "Da ya kasance daga wanin Allah ne, lalle da sun sami sabani mai yawa a cikinsa"[4:82] Tun da Alqur'ani maganar Allah ce, wadda aka saukar wa mutane a matsayin shiriya ga dukkan al'amura, kuma tun da an kiyaye shi, kuma yana cikakke daidai a ko'ina, to duk abin da littafin ya ambata za a iya ɗaukarsa a matsayin gaskiya cikakkiya. Wanzuwar Aljannah da Wutar Jahannama ba za a iya tabbatar da su ta hanyar hujjar hankali ba, domin har yanzu ba mu iya fahimtar su ba; imani da su yana zuwa ne ta hanyar riwaya. Duk da haka, imani da su yana dogara ne a kan imani da aka samo ta hanyar hankali, wanda ke tabbatar da cewa Alqur'ani daga Allah yake. Wannan ana kiransa amfani da hujjar riwaya (naqli).

"Lo! We, even We, reveal the reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian"[15:9] "If it had been from other than Allah thy would have found much incongruity"[4:82] As the Qur'an is the word of God, sent to mankind as a guide for all affairs, and as it is protected and completely consistent throughout, then anything the book refers to can be taken as a complete truth. The existence of paradise and hellfire cannot be derived from rational evidence as we cannot as yet perceive them, to believe in them comes in a traditional way, however belief in them is based upon a rationally derived belief which proves the divine source of the Qur'an. This is referred to as use of transformative evidence. Therefore all that the Qur'an definitely refers to can be taken as truth without any hesitation.
"Kuma ba mu aiko ka ba (ya Muhammadu) sai domin ka zama mai bayar da bushara da mai gargaɗi ga dukkan mutane, amma yawancin mutane ba sa sani." [34:28] Alkur'ani da Sunnah (hanya da tafarkin Annabi ﷺ) su ne tushen Shari'a (dokar Allah) a Musulunci. Saboda su tushe ne da aka tabbatar da hankali cewa dokar Allah ne, dole ne mutane su bi su cikin dukkan bayanansu. Wannan tushe shi ne akida ko koyarwa da dukkan ayyukan rayuwa ya kamata a mayar da su gare shi.
"And we have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a warner unto all mankind, but most of mankind know not"[34:28] The Qur'an and the Sunnah (path and direction of the Prophet) act as the source of Shariah (divine law) in Islam, as rationally confirmed sources of God's law mankind is obliged to follow them in all details. This basis is the creed or doctrine upon which all actions in life should be referred.
