Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I would like to knw is there any author for the quran?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Who is the author of Quran

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 26 Surah Shuaraa verses 191-195:

The fact is that your Lord is Mighty as well as Merciful. This (Al-Quran) has been revealed by the Lord of the Worlds. The trustworthy Spirit (Jibrael) has come down with it upon your heart (O Prophet (saws)), so that you may become one of those who are (appointed by Allah) to warn (the people) in plain Arabic language.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah Ha Mim As Sajdaah verse 2-4:

This (Al-Quran) is a Revelation from the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful Allah. A Book whose verses are well-expounded, an Arabic Quran for the people who want to understand, and a giver of good news and a warner.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 15 Surah Al Hijr verse 9:

It is We (Allah), Who has sent down this Quran, and We will assuredly guard it against corruption.

Allah says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 7:

It is Allah, Who sent down this Quran to you.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verse 1-3:

All praise is for Allah Alone, Who has sent down this Book (Al-Quran) to His Servant (Mohamed (saws), and assigned nothing crooked to it. This Book says everything directly, so that he may warn the people of the severe chastisement of Allah and give good news to the believers, who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibrahim verses 1-2:

This (Al-Quran) is a Book which We have sent down to you (O Prophet (saws)) that you may bring mankind, by the help of their Lord, out of the dark ways (of ignorance) into the Light (of knowledge), to the Way of that Lord, Who is All Powerful, and inherently All Praiseworthy, and the Owner of whatever is in the heavens and the earth.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 82:

Do they not ponder over the Quran? Had it been from any other than Allah, surely there would have been many contradictions in it.

In light of the above absolutely clear Declarations, without an iota of a doubt, the One and Only ‘Author’ of the Glorious Quran can and only be and is The Lord Most Majestic Who Created….Allah Subhanah wa Taala!

If there is one arrogant (and ignorant) enough to doubt, leave alone claim, that the ‘Author’ of this Glorious Quran can even ever be anyone other than The Lord Most Supreme Who Created…..The All-Knowing All-Wise Lord of the Worlds has placed a straight-forward challenge unto them…..

If the making of the Whole Quran or even only Ten Surahs like the Quran is beyond them (and is!), then they are openly challenged to invent even only one Surah like unto the Glorious Quran of the Lord…….If those who doubt or deny that the Glorious Quran is from the Lord Most Supreme Who Created are unable to do this; and The Lord Most High has Himself borne Witness that they can never ever do this even if they sought the help of all of mankind and all of the jinns put together….these deniers are warned by the Lord All-Mighty to fear the unbearable Fire which He has prepared for the disbelievers!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Isra verse 88:

Declare this! ‘Even if (all of the) human beings and (all of) the jinns should co-operate with one another to bring forth a book like the Quran, they would never be able to bring anything like it, even though they all helped one another!”

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah Hud verses 13-14:

Do they say, “He (Prophet Mohamed (saws)) has invented the Book (Al-Quran) himself?” Say to them, “Very well, if it is so, then bring ten fabricates Surahs like this! And you may call to your assistance whosoever you can except Allah, if you are speaking the truth! Now if they (your false gods) do not come to your help, you should know that this Book has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no true deity other than Allah. Do you then surrender to this?”

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 23-24:

And if you be in doubt whether the Book (Al-Quran) We have sent down to Our Servant (Prophet Mohamed (saws)) is from Us or not, then produce, at least, one Surah like this. You may call all your associates to assist you and avail yourselves of the help of any, other than Allah. If you are genuine in your doubt, do this! But if you do not do this, and you can never do this, then fear the Fire which has been prepared for the disbelievers, and which shall have men and stones for fuel.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
