Hoja ya Qur'ani (Uthibitisho na uhalali wake)
Hujjiyat ul Qur’aan (Its proof and validity)
Qur'ani ni kitabu ambacho ni cha Kiarabu kwa lugha na mtindo, ambacho Muhammad ﷺ alikuja nacho. Kwa hiyo kinaweza kuwa kimetoka kwa Waarabu, au kutoka kwa Muhammad ﷺ, au kinaweza kuwa kimetoka kwa Allah Ta'aalaa. Haiwezekani kuwa kimetoka kwa chochote kingine isipokuwa hivi vitatu, kwa sababu ni cha Kiarabu kwa lugha na mtindo.
The Qur’aan is a book which is Arabic in terms of language and style, which Muhammad (saw) came with. It can therefore either have come from the Arabs, or from Muhammad or it could have come from Allah Ta’Aalaa. It is not possible for it to have come from any other than these three due to it being Arabic in language and style.
Kuhusu madai kwamba hili limetoka kwa Waarabu, dai hilo ni la uongo na batili, kwa sababu Qur-aan iliwapa Waarabu changamoto ya kuleta na kutoa mfano wake, naam, hata sura moja tu kama hiyo. Allah Ta'aalaa amesema:
As for it having come from the Arabs then this is false and invalid because the Qur’aan challenged them to come with and reproduce the like of it, indeed just one Soorah like it. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
Au wanasema: "Amemzua"? Sema: "Basi leteni sura mfano wake, na muwaite msaada yeyote mnayemweza, badala ya Allah, ikiwa nyinyi ni wakweli." (Yunus 38)
Or do they say [about the Prophet]: "He invented it?" Say: "Then bring forth a Soorah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful" (Yousuf 38).
Kwa hiyo haitokani na Waarabu, kwa sababu walikuwa hawana uwezo wala hawakuwa na kipawa cha kutoa mfano wake au sura yoyote kama hiyo. Kutoweza kwao kumethibitika na kuthibitishwa, nao bado wanaendelea kutoweza kuleta mfano wake.
It is therefore not from the Arabs because they were incapable and did not have the ability to reproduce the like of it or a Soorah like it. Their inability was established and verified and they still remain incapable of bringing the like of it.
Kuhusu madai kwamba Qur'ani ilitoka kwa Muhammad (saw), basi hilo pia ni la uongo na batili, kwa sababu Muhammad (saw) alikuwa Mwarabu, na bila kujali kiwango cha akili yake au ufasaha wake, alikuwa bado ni mmoja wa jamii yake. Mradi Waarabu hawakuweza kuleta mfano wake, na mradi Muhammad ﷺ ni mmoja wao, basi kinachowahusu wao pia kinamhusu yeye. Zaidi ya hayo, maneno ya Muhammad ﷺ yamemfikia kupitia Tawaatur (usimulizi wa uhakika) kama Hadithi: "Yeyote atakayenisingizia uongo kwa makusudi, basi na aandae kiti chake motoni" (Al-Bukhaari na Muslim). Ukilinganisha Hadithi hii, au Hadithi yoyote, na Aya ya Qur'ani, hakuna mfanano wowote wa mtindo utakaoweza kuonekana kati yao.
As for it having originally come from Muhammad (saw) then this is also false and invalid because Muhammad (saw) was an Arab and whatever the level of his genius or eloquence, he was still one from amongst his society. As long as the Arabs were not able to bring the like of it and as long as Muhammad (saw) is one of them, then what applies to them also applies to him. In addition to that Muhammad (saw) has Ahaadeeth (speech) that has reached us by way of Tawaatur (definite transmission) like the Hadeeth: “Whosoever lies about me deliberately then let him take his seat in the fire” (Al-Bukhaari and Muslim). If this Hadeeth or any Hadeeth is compared to an Aayah of the Qur’aan no resemblance in style can be found between them.
Waarabu wenyewe hawakudai kwamba Qur'ani ni maneno ya Muhammad ﷺ, bali mojawapo ya madai yao ni kwamba kijana Mkristo aliyeitwa Jabar ndiye angemletea. Kisha Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala akawakanusha kwa kauli yake:
The Arabs themselves did not make the claim that the Qur’aan was the speech of Muhammad (saw) but rather one of their claims was that a Christian youth called Jabar would bring it to him. Allah Ta’Aalaa then refuted them by His Qawl:
Na hakika tunajua kwamba wao husema, "Ni binadamu tu anayemfundisha Nabii." Lugha ya yule wanayemrejelea ni ya kigeni, lakini Qur'ani hii iko kwa lugha ya Kiarabu iliyo wazi (An-Nahl 103).
And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches the Prophet." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this Qur'an is [in] a clear Arabic language (An-Nahl 103).
Kwa hiyo Qur'ani haitokani awali na Muhammad ﷺ.
The Qur’aan is therefore not originally from Muhammad (saw).
Qur'aan lazima iwe, kwa hiyo, hakika ni Kalaam (maneno) ya Allah Ta'Aalaa. Ni muujiza kwa Muhammad ﷺ kuonyesha na kuongoza kwenye ukweli kwamba yeye ni Nabii na Rasuli aliyetumwa na Allah Ta'Aalaa.
The Qur’aan must therefore definitely be the Kalaam (speech) of Allah Ta’Aalaa. It is a miracle for Muhammad (saw) to indicate and guide to the fact that he is a Nabi and Rasool sent by Allah Ta’Aalaa.
Hii ni dalili ya kiakili (‘Aqliy) na ushahidi kuhusu Qur’ani kuwa ni kutoka kwa Allah, na imethibitishwa na kuthibitishwa kwa Tawaatur (usimulizi wa uhakika) kwamba hii ni Qur’ani ile ile ambayo Allah Ta’aalaa aliiteremsha kwa Muhammad ﷺ.
This represents the rational and intellectual (‘Aqliy) proof and evidence in respect to the Qur’aan being from Allah and it has been established and affirmed by Tawaatur (definite transmission) that it is the same Qur’aan that Allah Ta’Aalaa revealed upon Muhammad (saw).
Mwenyezi Mungu Ta'ālā amewasemesha wanadamu katika Qur'ani hii kupitia aya kadhaa, akiwataka wafuate yale yaliyoteremshwa ndani yake. Mwenyezi Mungu Ta'ālā amesema:
Allah Ta’Aalaa has addressed mankind in this Qur’aan in a number of Aayaat demanding that they follow that which was revealed in it. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
Na hakika hii ndiyo Njia yangu iliyonyooka, basi ifuateni, wala msifuate njia nyingine, kwani zitakutenganisheni na Njia yake (Al-An'aam 153).
And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and do not follow (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path (Al-An’aam 153).
Na Yeye Ta'ala aliwadai wahukumu na waamue kwa yale aliyoyateremsha ndani yake:
And He Ta’Aalaa demanded that they rule and judge by what He had revealed in it:
Basi hukumu baina yao kwa yale aliyoteremsha Mwenyezi Mungu, wala usifuate matamanio yao, na jihadhari nao lisije likakupoteza na baadhi ya yale aliyokuteremshia Mwenyezi Mungu (Al-Maaidah 49).
And so judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires and beware of them lest they seduce away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you (Al-Maa’idah 49).
Na Yeye Ta'ālā akasema:
And He Ta’Aalaa said:
Na yeyote asiyehukumu kwa yale aliyoyateremsha Allah, basi hao ni makafiri. (Al-Maa’idah 44)
And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed then they are the disbelievers (Al-Maa’idah 44).
Kwa hiyo, Qur'ani ni Hujjah (ushahidi na hoja) juu ya wanadamu, na Ahkaam zake ni wajibu kuzifuata.
The Qur’aan is therefore a Hujjah (proof and argument) over mankind and its Ahkaam are obligatory to be followed.
