1- Had the Quran been contrived from previously revealed scriptures, Muhammad's
adversaries would not have ignored the matter and remained silent. They would
undoubtedly have seized the opportunity to accuse him to that effect . All
their allegations were unfounded and lacked proof.
2- The Quran includes many laws, instructions and commands which did not exist
inthe previous scriptures. Furthermore the Quran contains narratives with
detailed accounts of previous generations in addition to prophecies which were
fulfilled. An example of this was the final outcome of the conflict between the
Romans and persians, the events of which were unknown to Muhammad, his people
and the followers of Judaism and Christianity.
3- The Quran urged people to acquire knowledge and to respect the human mind
and intellect. Accordingly , based on Islam's new teachings and rulings , the
Muslims were able, in a very short time, to establish a civilization which
replaced the proceeding civilization and flourished for many centuries. Had the
Quran been compiled from the previous divine religions why then did these
religions not include the aforementioned precept and teachings and did not play
the same role as Islam?
4- The Quran is a Book the style of which is consistent and eloquent. Had
it been compiled from other scriptures it would have been incoherent,
contradictory and inconsistent due to the alleged various sources. Moreover,
the Quran, always addresses one’s sense and reasoning and does not include
fables and myths. It relies upon evidence and facts and demands the same of its
adversaries: This approach is considered a completely new approach and
does not exist in any previous scripture.
5- It is evident that Islam completely rejected evil beliefs of Paganism, its
way of life and brutal traditions and replaced them with true faith and a life
of virtue. Where then is true Pagan culture that Islam has been falsely accused
of adopting from Pre- Islamic Paganism?
