Nestor. I wasn't make the argument:
Quran is the best book, therefore divine, therefore Islam is true.
Read the argument. It's specifically to refute the argument in the OP.
The argument in the OP is on the lines of:
The arguments and reasons for God to send revelation and Prophets and Guides are perhaps refuted by the possibility that revelations cannot be recognized to be words of God as opposed to fabrications of humans.
It's a refutation to that.
As for the specifically Islam, it's because it's the only book to emphasize that it contains the best of sayings, emphasize it is the best in guidance, and emphasize it is unique in literary form and eloquence such that it challenges all humans to bring the like of one of it's Surahs.
So if there is good reasons to believe God would send guidance, the rest seems to follow.
