Who Wrote The Qur’an

The question of the authorship of the Holy Qur'an has been discussed throughout history by theologians, historians, and scholars of religion. Within Islam, the Qur'an is understood to be the revealed word of God transmitted to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) through divine revelation. Examining this question from historical, textual, and theological perspectives enables readers to understand why Muslims regard the Qur'an as a unique and divinely revealed scripture.

About the Book

Who Wrote the Qur'an investigates one of the most fundamental questions in Islamic studies by examining the origin and authorship of the Holy Qur'an. Drawing upon Qur'anic evidence, historical documentation, the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and the classical sciences of the Qur'an, the book explains the Islamic understanding of revelation while engaging with questions that have been raised throughout history.

The author discusses the process of revelation, the role of the Angel Gabriel, the Prophet's mission, the preservation of the Qur'an, and the historical circumstances surrounding its transmission. The work also examines various theories concerning the Qur'an's origin and evaluates them in light of historical records, textual evidence, and scholarly analysis.

Rather than presenting a purely theological discussion, the book combines historical research with careful examination of the Qur'an itself. Readers are introduced to the evidence supporting the traditional Islamic belief that the Qur'an is divine revelation rather than a human composition. The discussion also illustrates how the Qur'an's language, structure, preservation, and influence have contributed to this understanding throughout Islamic history.

Written in an accessible and analytical style, this work provides a thoughtful introduction to one of the central questions of Qur'anic studies while encouraging readers to examine the available evidence carefully and objectively.
