THE CHALLENGE OF THE QUR’AN
   
Literature and poetry have been instruments of human expression and creativity, in all cultures. The world also witnessed an age when literature and poetry occupied pride of position, similar to that now enjoyed by science and technology Even non-Muslim scholars agree that the Qur’an is Arabic literature par excellence – that it is the best Arabic literature on the face of the earth. The Qur’an challenges mankind to produce the likes of it.  

“And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. “But if ye cannot – and of a surety you cannot – then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones – which is prepared for those who reject Faith.” [Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]

The challenge of the Qur’an, is to produce a single Surah (chapter) like the Surahs it contains. The same challenge is repeated in the Qur’an several times. The challenge to produce a Surah, which, in beauty, eloquence, depth and meaning is at least somewhat similar to a Qur’anic Surah remains unmet to this day.A modern rational man, however, would never accept a religious scrïpture which says, in the best possible poetic language, that the world is flat.

This is because we live in an age, where human reason, logic and science are given primacy. Not many would accept the Qur’an’s extraordinarily beautiful language, as proof of its Divine origin. Any scrïpture claiming to be a divine revelation must also be acceptable on the strength of its own reason and logic.

According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein, “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” Let us therefore study the Qur’an, and analyze whether the Qur’an and Modern Science are compatible or incompatible?

The Qur’an is not a book of Science but a book of ‘Signs’, i.e. Aayaats. There are more than six thousand ‘Signs’ in the Qur’an of which more than a thousand deal with hard core Science.

  HOW CAN AN ILETERATE PERSON WHO LIVED 1400 YEARS AGO IN A DESERT BRING SUCH A BOOK TO THE WORLD?

Alalh (swt) says in the Quran: "This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than God. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scrïpture. It is infallible; for it comes from the Lord of the universe." 10:37

IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT THEN YOUR HEART HAS BEEN SEALED BY GOD.

God hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur)[002:007]

[002:018]  Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path)


            BE WITNESS THAT WE ARE MUSLIMS.

THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH (SWT) AND MOHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER

Let there be no compulsion in the religion the truth stands out clear from error" 2:256
