And how could we set about finding which, if either, "way of belief" might be nearer the truth?
His revelation in the Torah (Old Testament) and Gospel (New Testament) were also His true revelations that He revealed alone to mankind. But men added things to these scriptures which have been changed over and over again throughout time. It even says in Jeremiah 8:8. "How can you say that we are wise and have the law of The Lord when the lying pens of the scribes have falsified it"? But what the Qur'an does is confirms the truth of things revealed in the Torah and the Gospel, but it also corrects the falsehood that mankind has added to them. God always sent His word to people through His prophets/messengers pbut all, with miracles according to what the peoples' lifestyles were. For example in Moses' pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of magic and illusion. So God sent Moses pbuh who through God's power and will turned his rod into a serpent, and parted the Red Sea. God showed the people His power and might through His messenger Moses pbuh, things that those people, who were vain of their knowledge of magic, could never do. What magic could they come up with that could do these things? In Jesus' pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of medicine. So God showed His power through His messenger Jesus pbuh things that these medically vain people could never do. Such as impregnate a virgin woman, heal lepers, cure the blind, and even bring a dead man back to life. What medicine could they come up with that could do these things? Now in Muhammad's pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of poetry, linguistics, science, and mathematics. So God sent the final scripture to mankind through His messenger Muhammad pbuh, a man who could neither read nor write, showing no human could produce it. The 23 years of revealing the Qur'anic scripture, which not only gives God's laws to mankind, but the verses rhyme in their original revealed Arabic language which is still preserved to this day, covering the poetic miracle, and as shown contains linguistic, scientific, mathematical, and even astronomical miracles, all categories which the people of that time "thought they knew so much about" and what people to this day " think they know so much about". And with our technology today we are verifying the Qur'anic miracles, that we have been blessed by God to learn about are precise to the "T". So just as God did with all people since the beginning of mankind, He sent a prophet or messenger pbut all, with signs from Himself. This way the prophet/messenger pbuh could relay the message in the language that his people spoke so they could understand. All were sent from God with the same message to worship only 1 God and Him alone, associating no partners with Him in worship. There were over 120,000 prophets pbut all, since the beginning of mankind sent to every single nation of people God created. However the Prophet Muhammad pbuh was not only sent for the one nation of Arabs but he was sent for ALL MANKIND for all eternity. He was an Arab and spoke Arabic and relayed the message in that language. This is why we call God "Allah" which is simply the Arabic name for God. Just as "Yahweh" is God in Hebrew, and "God" is God in English, and "Dios" is God in Spanish, they are all different languages referring to the same One, Supreme Being. We also call ourselves "Muslims" which is Arabic for "One who submits to God's will". This is why we say all prophets pbut all were Muslims. They all submitted to God's will. Now of course if they didn't speak Arabic then they would call themselves the equivalent definition in the language they spoke. So to sum up, the Qur'an is a miracle within itself sent as a sign for mankind to judge by and to see that it could only be produced by God Allah Himself.
