The Truth of the Qur'aan



Meaning you get up from sleep.   Who caused you to sleep in the first place?  And who is it that causes you to wake up?  He is Allaah, the Perfect and Most High.  So if you were to think about this creation, then this would lead you to realize the Greatness of Allaah and you would submit to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic; if you were to reflect upon the speech of the Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam and what he informed about with regard to events of the past and of the future, things which have occurred just as he informed sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam.  Who guided him to know that?  It was Allaah, the Majestic and Most High.  He is the One who revealed it to him.  It was not from himself; rather it was just from Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic.  If you were to compare the ahaadeeth (sayings of the Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) to the events that have occurred, you would be amazed.  The Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam mentioned to us about the lives of the Prophets and the previous nations (he mentioned) a great deal (of that), even though his time was much later.  Who made him aware of this?  It was Allaah, the Majestic and Most High. So this is indeed a proof that he is a Messenger from Allaah.  This tremendous Qur·aan, it is not possible that it could have come from other than Allaah.      

قُل لَّئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى أَن يَأْتُواْ بِمِثْلِ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنِ لاَ يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا 


(Explanation)

Say, if the whole of mankind and jinn were to gather together to bring the like of this Qur·aan, they could not bring its like, even if they all tried to help each other.   

 (Sooratul-Israa· (17), aayah 88)

It is from the Speech of Allaah, the Majestic and Most High.  And the Messenger was just one who conveyed the Message from Allaah, the Majestic and Most High.
