If Muhammad didn't exist, then how do you explain the Quran? Where did Islam come from?
Also, God chose an illiterate man as a prophet so that people do not doubt that the Quran was invented by the prophet himself. There is no person in history who was able to find a single evidence that the Quran was fabricated or plagiarized (from other scriptures). And there are lots of authentic historical information about the life of the Prophet (pbuh) which contradict with the idea that he "made up" the Quran. And if you don't believe me, then this basically means that you didn't do enough research.

I think I know what you mean, but can you please clarify that sentence again (without the double negatives)? Thanks.
