#213 Scrutinising claims Muslims make about the Qur’an 🗓
With Dr Emil Shehadeh
While Christians believe the Bible to be the Word of God, we accept that the authors are human, but inspired by the Holy Spirit to write. Muslims believe the Qur’an was authored by Allah, who keeps an original copy in heaven.
The Qur’an is apparently perfect in every respect, unchanged and unchangeable, miraculous, superior in its Arabic language and eloquence. Finally, they claim the Qur’an is Allah’s last message to humanity.
In this talk, all these claims and more are scrutinised using logical, historical, geographical, arithmetic, and manuscript evidence.
