The Amazing Qur'an (2 of 2)
By Gary
Miller
The real certainty about the
truthfulness of the Qur'an is evident in the confidence which is prevalent
throughout it; and this confidence comes from a different approach - "Exhausting
the Alternatives." In essence, the Qur'an states, "This book is a divine
revelation; if you do not believe that, then what is it?" In other words, the
reader is challenged to come up with some other explanation. Here is a book made
of paper and ink. Where did it come from? It says it is a divine revelation; if
it is not, then what is its source? The interesting fact
is that no one has with an explanation that works.
As has already been mentioned, there is much information contained in the Qur'an
whose source cannot be attributed to anyone other than Allah. For example, who
told Muhammad about the wall of Dhul-Qarnayn - a place hundreds of miles to the
north? Who told him about embryology? When people assemble facts such as these,
if they are not willing to attribute their existence to a divine source, they
automatically resort to the assumption someone brought Muhammad the information
and that he used it to fool the people. However, this theory can easily be
disproved with one simple question: "If Muhammad was a liar, where did he get
his confidence? Why did he tell some people out right to their face what others
could never say?" Such confidence depends completely upon being convinced that
one has a true divine revelation.
Confidence of Prophethood:
For example, the Prophet (SAWS) had an uncle by the name of Abu Lahab. This man
hated Islam to such an extent that he used to follow the Prophet around in order
to discredit him. If Abu Lahab saw the Prophet (SAWS) speaking to a stranger, he
would wait until they parted and then would go to the stranger and ask him,
"What did he tell you? Did he say, 'Black'? Well, it's white! Did he say,
'Morning'? Well, it's night!" He faithfully said the exact opposite of whatever
he heard Muhammad (SAWS) and the Muslims say. However, about ten years before
Abu Lahab died, a little chapter in the Qur'an was revealed to him. It
distinctly stated that he would go to the Fire (i.e., Hell).
In other words, it affirmed that he would never become a Muslim and would
therefore be condemned forever. For ten years all Abu Lahab had to do was to
say, "I heard that it has been revealed to Muhammad that I will never change -
that I will never become a Muslim and will enter the Hellfire. Well I want to
become a Muslim now. How do you like that? What at do you think of your divine
revelation now?" But he never did that. And yet, that is exactly the kind of
behavior one would have expected from him since he always sought to contradict
Islam.
In essence, Muhammad (SAWS) said, "You hate me and you want to finish me? Here,
say these words, and I am finished. Come on, say them!" But Abu Lahab never said
them. Ten years! And in all that time he never accepted Islam or even became
sympathetic to the Islamic cause. How could Muhammad possibly have known for
sure that Abu Lahab would fulfill the Qur'anic revelation if he (i.e., Muhammad)
was not truly the Messenger of Allah? How could he possibly have been so
confident as to give someone 10 years to discredit his claim of Prophethood? The
only answer is that he was Allah's Messenger; for in order to put forth suck a
risky challenge, one has to be entirely convinced that he has a divine
revelation.
Another example of the confidence which Muhammad (SAWS) had in his own
Prophethood and consequently in the divine protection of himself and his message
is when he left Makkah and hid in a cave with Abu Bakr during their emigration
to Madeenah. The two clearly saw people coming to kill them, and Abu Bakr was
afraid. Certainly, if Muhammad (SAWS) was a liar, a forger and one who was
trying to fool the people into believing that he was a prophet, one would have
expected him to say in such a circumstance to his friend, "Hey, Abu Bakr, see if
you can find a back way out of this cave." Or "Squat down in that corner over
there and keep quiet." Yet, in fact, what he said to Abu Bakr clearly
illustrated his confidence. He told him, "Relax! Allah is with us, and Allah
will save us!"
Now, if one knows that he is fooling the people, where does one get this kind of
attitude? In fact, such a frame of mind is not characteristic of a liar or a
forger at all. So, as has been previously mentioned, the non-Muslims go around
and around in a circle, searching for a way out - some way to explain the
findings in the Qur'an without attributing them to their proper source. On one
hand, they tell you on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, "The man was a liar," and
on the other hand, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday they tell you, "He was
crazy." What they refuse to accept is that one cannot have it both ways; yet
they refuse to accept is that one cannot have it both ways; yet they need both
excuses to explain the information in the Qur'an.
Did the Devil Do it?!
About seven years ago, I had a minister over to my home. In the particular room
which we were sitting there was a Qur'an on the table, face down, and so the
minister was not aware of which book it was. In the midst of a discussion, I
pointed to the Qur'an and said, "I have confidence in that book." Looking at the
Qur'an but not knowing which book it was , he replied, "Well, I tell you, if
that book is not the Bible, it was written by a man!" In response to his
statement, I said, "Let me tell you something about what is in that book." And
in just three to four minutes I related to him a few things contained in the
Qur'an. After just those three or four minutes, he completely changed his
position and declared, "You are right. A man did not write that book. The Devil
wrote it!"
Indeed, possessing such an attitude is very unfortunate - for many reasons. For
one thing, it is a very quick and cheap excuse. It is an instant exit out of an
uncomfortable situation. As a matter of fact, there is a famous story in the
Bible that mentions how one day some of the Jews were witnessed when Jesus
raised a man from the dead. The man had been dead for four days, and when Jesus
arrived, he simply said, "Get up!" and the man arose and walked away. At such a
sight, some of the Jews who were watching said disbelievingly, "This is the
Devil. The Devil helped him!" Now this story is rehearsed often in churches all
over the world, and people cry big tears over it, saying, "Oh, if I had been
there, I would not have been as stupid as the Jews!" Yet ironically, these
people do exactly what the Jews did when in just three minutes you show them
only a small part of the Qur'an and all they can say is, "Oh, the Devil did it.
The devil wrote that book!". Because they are truly backed into a corner and
have no other viable answer, they resort to the quickest and cheapest excuse
available.
Another Example of people's use of this weak stance can be found in the Makkans'
explanation of the source of Muhammed's message. They used to say, "The devils
bring Muhammad that Qur'an!" But just as with every other suggestion made, the
Qur'an gives the answer. One verse in particular states: "And they say, 'Surely
he is possessed [by jinn], 'but it [i.e., the Qur'an] is not except a reminder
to the worlds." (68:51-52)
Thus it gives an argument in reply to such a theory. In fact, there are many
arguments in the Qur'an in reply to the suggestion that devils brought Muhammad
(SAWS) his message. For example, in the 26th chapter Allah clearly affirms: "No
evil ones have brought it [i.e., this revelation] down. It would neither be
fitting for them, nor would they be able. Indeed they have been removed far from
hearing." And in another place in the Qur'an, Allah instructs us: "So when you
recite the Qur'an seek refuge in Allah from Shaytaan (Satan), the rejected."
(16:98). Now is this how Satan writes a book? He tells one, "Before you read my
book, ask God to save you from me."? This is very, very tricky.
Indeed, a man could write something like this, but would Satan do this? Many
people clearly illustrate that they cannot come to one conclusion on this
subject. On one hand, they claim that Satan would not do such a thing and that
even if he could, God would not allow him to; yet, on the other hand, they also
believe that Satan is only that much less than God. In essence they allege that
the Devil can probably do whatever God can do. And as a result, when they look
at the Qur'an, even as surprised as they are as to how amazing it is, they still
insist, "The Devil did this!" Thanks be to Allah, Muslims do not have that
attitude. Although Satan may have some abilities, they are a long way separated
from the abilities of Allah. And no Muslim is a Muslim unless he believes that.
It is common knowledge even among non-Muslims that the Devil can easily make
mistakes, and it would be expected that he would contradict himself if and when
he wrote a book. For indeed, the Qur'an states: "Do they not consider the Qur'an?
Had it been from any other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much
discrepancy." (4:82)
Telling Facts not Lies:
In conjunction with the excuses that non-Muslims advance in futile attempts to
justify unexplainable verses in the Qur'an, there is another attack often
rendered which seems to be a combination of the theories that Muhammad (SAWS)
was crazy and a liar. Basically, these people propose that Muhammad was insane,
and as a result of his delusion, he lied to and misled people. There is a name
for this in psychology. It is referred to as mythomania. It means simply that
one tells lies and then believes them. This is what the non-Muslims say Muhammad
(SAWS) suffered from. But the only problem with this proposal is that one
suffering from mythomania absolutely cannot deal with facts, and yet the whole
Qur'an is based entirely upon facts. Everything contained in it can be
researched and established as true. Since facts are such a problem for a
mythomaniac, when a psychologist tries to treat one suffering from that
condition, he continually confronts him with facts.
For example, if one is mentally ill and claims, "I am the king of England," a
psychologist does not say to him "No you aren't. You are crazy!" He just does
not do that. Rather, he confronts him with facts and says, "Okay, you say you
are the king of England. So tell me where the queen is today. And where is your
prime minister? And where are your guards?" Now, when the man has trouble trying
to deal with these questions, he tries to make excuses, saying Uh... the
queen... she has gone to her mother's. Uh... the prime minister... well he
died." And eventually he is cured because he cannot deal with the facts. If the
psychologist continues confronting him with enough facts, finally he faces the
reality and says, "I guess I am not the king of England!"
The Qur'an approaches everyone who reads it in very much the same way a
psychologist treats his mythomania patient. There is a verse in the Qur'an which
states: "Oh mankind, there has come to you an admonition [i.e., the Qur'an] from
your Lord and a healing for what is in the hearts - and guidance and mercy for
the believers." (10-56). At first glance, this statement appears vague, but the
meaning of this verse is clear when one views it in light of the aforementioned
example. Basically, one is healed of his delusions by reading the Qur'an. In
essence, it is therapy. It literally cures deluded people by confronting them
with facts. A prevalent attitude throughout the Qur'an is one which says, "Oh
mankind, you say such and such about this; but what about such and such? How can
you say this when you know that?" And so forth. It forces one to consider what
is relevant and what matters while simultaneously healing one of the delusions
that the facts presented to mankind by Allah can easily be explained away with
flimsy theories and excuses. It is this very sort of thing - confronting people
with facts - that had captured the attention of many non-Muslims. In fact, there
exists a very interesting reference concerning this subject in the New Catholic
Encyclopedia.
A Problem for The Catholic Church:
In an article under the subject of the Qur'an, the Catholic Church states, "Over
the centuries, many theories have been offered as to the origin of the Qur'an...
Today no sensible man accepts any of these theories."!! Now here is the age-old
Catholic Church, which has been around for so many centuries, denying these
futile attempts to explain away the Qur'an. Indeed, the Qur'an is a problem for
the Catholic Church. It states that it is revelation, so they study it.
Certainly, they would love to find proof that it is not, but they cannot. They
cannot find a viable explanation. But at least they are honest in their research
and do not accept the first unsubstantiated interpretation which comes along.
The Church states that in fourteen centuries it has not yet been presented a
sensible explanation. At least it admits that the Qur'an is not an easy subject
to dismiss.
Certainly, other people are much less honest. They quickly say, "Oh, the Qur'an
came from here. The Qur'an came from there." And they do not even examine the
credibility of what they are stating most of the time. Of course, such a
statement by the Catholic Church leaves the everyday Christian in some
difficulty. It just may be that he has his own ideas as to the origin of the
Qur'an, but as a single member of the Church, he cannot really act upon his own
theory. Such an action would be contrary to the obedience, allegiance and
loyalty which the Church demands. By virtue of his membership, he must accept
what the Catholic Church declares without question and establish its teachings
as part of his everyday routine. So, in essence, if the Catholic Church as a
whole is saying, "Do not listen to these unconfirmed reports about the Qur'an,"
then what can be said about the Islamic point of view? Even non-Muslims are
admitting that there is something to the Qur'an - something that has to be
acknowledged - then why are people so stubborn and defensive and hostile when
Muslims advance the very same theory? This is certainly something for those with
mind to contemplate - something to ponder for those of understanding!
Recently, the leading intellectual in the Catholic Church - a man by the name of
Hans - studied the Qur'an and gave his opinion of what he had read. This man has
been around for some time, and he is highly respected in the Catholic Church,
and after careful scrutiny, he reported his findings, concluding, "God has
spoken to man through the man, Muhammad." Again this is a conclusion arrived at
by a non-Muslim source - the very leading intellectual of the Catholic Church
himself! I do not think that the Pope agrees with him, but nonetheless, the
opinion of such a noted, repute public figure must carry some weight in defense
of the Muslim position. He must be applauded for facing the reality that the
Qur'an is not something which can be easily pushed aside and that, in fact, God
is the source of these words. As is evident from the aforementioned information,
all of the possibilities have been exhausted, so the chance of finding another
possibility of dismissing the Qur'an is nonexistent. For if the book is not a
revelation, then it is a deception; and if it is a deception, one must ask,
"What is its origin" And where does it deceive us?" Indeed, the true answers to
these questions shed light on the Qur'an's authenticity and silence the bitter
unsubstantiated claims of the unbelievers.
A Challenge for All Times:
Certainly, if people are going to insist that the Qur'an is a deception, then
they must bring forth evidence to support such a claim. The burden of proof is
on them, not us! One is never supposed to advance a theory without sufficient
corroborating facts; so I say to them, "Show me one deception! Show me where the
Qur'an deceives me! Show me, otherwise, don't say that it is a deception!" An
interesting characteristic of the Qur'an is how it deals with surprising
phenomena which relate not only to the past but to modern times as well. In
essence, the Qur'an is not and old problem. It is still a problem even today - a
problem to the non-Muslims that is.
For everyday, every week, every year brings more and more evidence that the
Qur'an is a force to be contended with - that its authenticity is no longer to
be challenged! For example, one verse in the Qur'an reads; "Do not the
unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, then We
clove them asunder, and made from water every living thing? Will they not then
believe?" (21:30). Ironically, this very information is exactly what they
awarded the 1973 Noble Prize for - to a couple of unbelievers. The Qur'an
reveals the origin of the universe - how it began from one piece - and mankind
continues to verify this revelation, even up to now.
Additionally, the fact that all life originated from water would not have been
an easy thing to convince people of fourteen centuries ago. Indeed, if 1400
years ago you had stood in the desert and told someone, "All of this, you see
(pointing to yourself), is made up of mostly water," no one would have believed
you. Proof of that was not available until the invention of the microscope. They
had to wait to find out that cytoplasm, the basic substance of the cell, is
made-up of 80% water. Nonetheless, the evidence did come, and once again the
Qur'an stood the test of time. In reference to the falsification tests mentioned
earlier, it is interesting to note that they, too, relate to both the past and
the present. Some of them were used as illustrations of Allah's omnipotence and
knowledge, while others continue to stand as challenges to the present day. An
example of the former is the statement made in the Qur'an about Abu Lahab. It
clearly illustrates that Allah, the Knower of the Unseen, knew that Abu Lahab
would never change his ways and accept Islam. Thus Allah dictated that he would
be condemned to the Hellfire forever. Such a chapter was both an illustration of
Allah's divine wisdom and a warning to those who were like Abu Lahab.
The Enmity of the Jews:
An interesting example of the latter type of falsification tests contained in
the Qur'an is the verse which mentions the relationship between the Muslims and
the Jews. The verse is careful not to narrow its scope to the relationship
between individual members of each religion, but rather, it summarizes the
relationship between the two groups of people as a whole. In essence, the Qur'an
states that the Christians will always treat the Muslims better than the Jews
will treat the Muslims. Indeed, the full impact of such a statement can only be
felt after careful consideration of the real meaning of such a verse. It is true
that many Christians and many Jews have become Muslims, but as a whole, the
Jewish community is to be viewed as an avid enemy of Islam. Additionally, very
few people realize what such an open declaration in the Qur'an invites. In
essence, it is an easy chance for the Jews to prove that the Qur'an is false -
that it is not a divine revelation. All they have to do is organize themselves,
treat the Muslims nicely for a few years and then say, "Now what does your holy
book say about who are your best friends in the world - the Jews or the
Christians? Look what we Jews have done for you!" That is all they have to do to
disprove the Qur'an's authenticity, yet they have not done it in 1400 years.
But, as always, the offer still stands open!
Historical Miraculousness:
An engineer at the University of Toronto who was interested in psychology and
who had read something on it, conducted researched wrote a thesis on Efficiency
of Group Discussions. The purpose of his research was to find out how much
people accomplish when they get together to talk in groups of two, three, ten,
etc. The graph of his findings: people accomplish most when they talk in groups
of two. Of course, this discovery was entirely beyond his expectations, but it
is very old advice given in the Qur'an: Additionally, the 89th chapter of the
Qur'an mentions a certain city by the name of 'Iram (a city of pillars), which
was not known in ancient history and which was non-existent as far as historians
were concerned. However, the December 1978 edition of National Geographic
introduced interesting information which mentioned that in 1973, the city of
Elba was excavated in Syria. The city was discovered to be 43 centuries old, but
that is not the most amazing part. Researchers found in the library of Elba a
record of all of the cities with which Elba had done business. Believe or not,
there on the list was the name of the city of 'Iram. The people of Elba had done
business with the people of 'Iram! "Say, 'I exhort you to one thing - that you
stand for Allah, [assessing the truth] by twos and singly, and then
reflect.....' (34:45)
Qur'an Continues to Beat the Odds:
All of the examples so far given, concerning the various angles from which one
can approach the Qur'an, have undoubtedly been subjective in nature; I however
there does exist another angle, among others, which is objective and whose basis
is mathematical. It is surprising how authentic the Qur'an becomes when one
assembles what might be referred to as a list of good guesses. Mathematically,
it can be explained using guessing and prediction examples. For instance, if a
person has two choices (i.e., one is right, and one is wrong), and he closes his
eyes and makes a choice, then half of the time (i.e., one time out of two) he
will be right. Basically, he has a one in two chance, for he could pick the
wrong choice, or he could pick the right choice. Now if the same person has two
situations like that (i.e., he could be right or wrong about situation number
one, and he could be right or wrong about situation number two), and he closes
his eyes and guesses, then he will only be right one fourth of the time (i.e.,
one time out of four). He now has a one in four chance because now there are
three ways for him to be wrong and only one way for him to be right.
In simple terms, he could make the wrong choice in situation number one and then
make the wrong choice in situation number two; or he could make the wrong choice
in situation number one and then make the right choice in situation number two;
or he could make the right choice in situation number one and then make the
wrong choice in situation number two; or he could make the right choice in
situation number one and then make the right choice in situation number two. Of
course, the only instance in which he could be totally right is the last
scenario where he could guess correctly in both situations. The odds of his
guessing completely correctly have become greater because the number of
situations for him to guess in have increased; and the mathematical equation
representing such a scenario is 1/2 x 1/2 (i.e., one time out of two for the
first situation multiplied by one time out of two for the second situation).
Continuing on with the example, if the same person now has three situations in
which to make blind guesses, then he will only be right one eighth of the time
(i.e., one time out of eight or 1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2). Again, the odds of choosing
the correct choice in all three situations have decreased his chances of being
completely correct to only one time in eight. It must be understood that as the
number of situations increase, the chances of being right decrease, for the two
phenomena are inversely proportional.
Now applying this example to the situations in the Qur'an, if one draws up a
list of all of the subjects about which the Qur'an has made correct statements,
it becomes very clear that it is highly unlikely that they were all just correct
blind guesses. Indeed, the subjects discussed in the Qur'an are numerous, and
thus the odds of someone just making lucky guesses about all of them become
practically nil. If there are a million ways for the Qur'an to be wrong, yet
each time it is right, then it is unlikely that someone was guessing. The
following three examples of subjects about which the Qur'an has made correct
statements collectively illustrate how the Qur'an continues to beat the odds.
In the 16th chapter the Qur'an mentions that the female bee leaves its home to
gather food (16:68-69). Now, a person might guess on that, saying, "The bee that
you see flying around - it could be male, or it could be female. I think I will
guess female." Certainly, he has a one in two chance of being right. So it
happens that the Qur'an is right. But it also happens that was not what most
people believed at the time when the Qur'an was revealed. Can you tell the
difference between a male and a female bee? Well, it takes a specialist to do
that, but it has been discovered that the male bee never leaves his home to
gather food. However, in Shakespeare's play, Henry the Fourth, some of the
characters discuss bees and mention that the bees are soldiers and have a king.
That is what people thought in Shakespeare's time - that the bees that one sees
flying around are male bees and that they go home and answer to a king. However,
that is not true at all. The fact is that they are females, and they answer to a
queen. Yet it took modern scientific investigations in the last 300 years to
discover that this is the case.
So, back to the list of good guesses, concerning the topic of bees, the Qur'an
had a 50/50 chance of being right, and the odds were one in two. In addition to
the subject of bees, the Qur'an also discusses the sun and the manner in which
it travels through space. Again, a person can guess on that subject. When the
sun moves through space, there are two options: it can travel just as a stone
would travel if one threw it, or it can move of its own accord. The Qur'an
states the latter - that it moves as a result of its own motion.' To do such,
the Qur'an uses a form of the word sabaha to describe the sun's movement through
space.
In order to properly provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of
the implications of this Arabic verb, the following example is given. If a man
is in water and the verb sabaha is applied in reference to his movement, it can
be understood that he is swimming, moving of his own accord and not as a result
of a direct force applied to him. Thus when this verb is used in reference to
the sun's movement through space, it in no way implies that the sun is flying
uncontrollably through space as a result of being hurled or the like. It simply
means that the sun is turning and rotating as it travels. Now, this is what the
Qur'an affirms, but was it an easy thing to discover?
Can any common man tell that the sun is turning? Only in modern times was the
equipment made available to project the image of the sun onto a tabletop so that
one could look at it without being blinded. And through this process it was
discovered that not only are there three spots on the sun but that these spots
move once every 25 days. This movement is referred to as the rotation of the sun
around its axis and conclusively proves that, as the Qur'an stated 1400 years
ago, the sun does, indeed turn as it travels through space. And returning once
again to the subject of good guess, the odds of guessing correctly about both
subjects - the sex of bees and the movement of the sun - are one in four!
Seeing as back fourteen centuries ago people probably did not understand much
about time zones, the Quran's statements about this subject are considerably
surprising. The concept that one family is having breakfast as the sun comes up
while another family is enjoying the brisk night air is truly something to be
marveled at, even in modern time. Indeed, fourteen centuries ago, a man could
not travel more than thirty miles in one day, and thus it took him literally
months to travel from India to Morocco, for example. And probably , when he was
having supper in Morocco, he thought to himself, "Back home in India they are
having supper right now!" This is because he did not realize that, in the
process of traveling, he moved across a time zone. Yet, because it is the words
of Allah, the All-Knowing, the Qur'an recognizes and acknowledges such a
phenomenon.
In an interesting verse it states that when history comes to an end and the Day
of Judgment arrives, it will all occurring an instant; and this very instant
will catch some people in the daytime and some people at night (10:24). This
clearly illustrates Allah's divine wisdom and His previous knowledge of the
existence of time zones, even though such a discovery was non-existent back
fourteen centuries ago. Certainly, this phenomenon is not something which is
obvious to one's eyes or a result of one's experience, and this fact, in itself,
suffices as proof of the Qur'ans authenticity.
Returning one final time to the subject of good guesses for the purpose of the
present example, the odds that someone guessed correctly about all three of the
aforementioned subjects - the sex of bees, the movement of the sun and the
existence of time zones - are one in eight!
Certainly, one could continue on and on with this example, drawing up longer and
longer list of good guesses; and of course, the odds would become higher and
higher with each increase of subjects about which one could guess. But what no
one can deny is the following; the odds that Mohammed, an illiterate, guessed
correctly about thousands and thousands of subjects, never once making a
mistake, are so high that any theory of his authorship of the Qur'an must be
completely dismissed - even by the most hostile enemies of Islam!
Indeed, the Qur'an expects this kind of challenge. Undoubtedly, if one said to
someone upon entering a foreign land, "I know your father. I have met him,"
probably the man from that land would doubt the newcomer's word, saying, "You
have just come here. How could you know my father?" As a result, he would
question him, "Tell me, is my father tall, short, dark, fair? What is he like?"
Of course, if the visitor continued answering all of the questions correctly,
the skeptic would have no choice but to say, "I guess you do know my father. I
don't know how you know him, but I guess you do!"
The situation is the same with the Qur'an. It states that it originates from the
One Who created everything. So everyone has the right to say, "Convince me! If
the author of this book really originated life and everything in the heavens and
on the earth, then He should know about this, about that, and so on." And
inevitably, after researching the Qur'an, everyone will discover the same
truths. Additionally, we all know something for sure: we do not all have to be
experts to verify what the Qur'an affirms. One's iman (faith) grows as one
continues to check and confirm the truths contained in the Qur'an. And one is
supposed to do so all of his life. May God (Allah) guide everyone close to the
truth.
In conclusion I ask you to consider with care the following: "And they say, 'Why
are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?' Say, 'Indeed, the signs are with
Allah, and I am but a clear warner.' But is sufficient for them that We have
sent down to you the Book [i.e. Qur'an] which is rehearsed to them? Verily, in
that is mercy and a reminder to people who believe." (29:50-51)
