Logical Explanation to the Question of Authorship of Holy Quran

Most of the non-Muslims and new Muslims ask the same question about the authorship of Holy Quran. The main question they ask is who wrote the Quran?

There are several logical hypotheses that can be made to answer this question.

• First assumption can be made that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself wrote the Quran.
• Arabs of that time can also be assumed as the writer of this Holy Book.
• Third assumption can be made that Almighty Allah himself was the writer of Quran.

The first assumption does not hold true at all, because the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was illiterate, he knew neither how to write, nor how to read. Therefore, it would be false to assume that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself wrote such a treasure of knowledge and then spread it.

The other assumption that Arabs of Prophet’s (PBUH) time wrote the Quran is also false, because the preaching of Quran is totally in contrast and contradicts the norms and customs of Arabs of those days. Therefore, there is no way that the Arabs could have written a book that was against them, their traditions, their Gods, and their beliefs.

The third assumption that Allah Almighty himself is the writer and author of Holy Quran, is true to its core. This answer to the question of authorship of Quran is evident for those people who indulge in Quran Reading and understand that, no man could have written such a book, that explains the phenomenon of whole universe, and that the source of this knowledge is none other than Allah Almighty.

In short, in terms of logic and sense, only Allah is the author and writer of Holy Quran, and no one else in this world neither was and nor will be able to write a book of such magnitude full with knowledge and wisdom.
