Answer:

Why Quran Superior

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 no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

One only has to do a simple exercise to determine which Book amongst all the Scriptures of the Major Religions of the world is the most superior amongst them! Simply ask the absolute best scholars of the all the major religions of the world, be it Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity or Islam, and ask them two simple questions which will determine the Truth from the falsehood.

Question-1: Who is the author of the Scripture you follow?

The best scholars of Hinduism will themselves confirm that their scriptures are not Divine in nature, but were authored by their wise men like Valmiki (Ramayana), Arjuna (Bhagwad Gita), etc.

The Buddhist scholars will themselves confirm that their Scripture too is not Divine, but authored by Buddha. The Sikh scholars will themselves confirm that their Scripture is authored by Guru Nanak.

Only the scholars of the Abrahamic Monotheist religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam will claim that their Scriptures are Divine in nature, authored by none other than the One Lord God Who is the Creator of all things in existence.

Question-2: Ask the scholars of the three Abrahamic Monotheist religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam whether the Scripture that they claim to follow is indeed the exact verbatim Revelations as revealed to their Prophets by their Lord?

The Jewish scholars will themselves admit that the Torah that was revealed to Prophet Moses (a.s.) by the Lord was lost, corrupted, and destroyed in time; and the Book that they call Torah today is not the exact verbatim Revelations the Lord revealed to Prophet Moses (a.s.), but rather a man-made version of it.

The Christian scholars will themselves admit that the Bible that was revealed to Prophet Jesus (a.s.) by the Lord was lost, corrupted, and destroyed in time; and the Book that they call the Bible today is not the exact verbatim Revelations that were revealed on Prophet Jesus (a.s.), but rather a collection of four versions made by disciples named John, Mathew, Luke, and Mark.

But ask any muslim, regardless of what sect or school of thought they claim to follow, and each one of them will declare and produce the exact same verbatim Revelation and in the very same language which the Lord revealed on their Prophet (saws), the One and Only Glorious Quran!

Thus, even by their own admittance, the only Divine Book that survives today in its absolute original form, in its absolute entirety, in its absolute original language, in its absolute original authenticity where not even an alphabet is changed, altered, or misplaced is the Last and Final Revelation of the Glorious Quran which the Lord Himself revealed upon the Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws)!

Neither our Jewish nor our Christian brethren themselves claim that the Scriptures that they have with them today is the exact verbatim Revelation of the Torah or the Bible that the Lord Creator revealed upon their Prophets; but rather only a man-made version or translation of the original Divine Scripture!

I am muslim brother one of my non muslims friend asked me question he says why Quran is superiour than all 3 books ? ? ? Is there any major reason for that ???

The other major reason for the superiority of the Last and Final Message of the Al-Quran over the other revealed Books is that the ministry of Prophet Moses (a.s.) and Prophet Jesus (a.s.) was only limited to their people and not the whole of mankind; and that fact is confirmed not only in the Glorious Quran, but also in the very Bible which is with our brethren today!

A woman from Canaan from that vicinity came to him (Jesus), crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.’

Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him: ‘send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.’

He (Jesus) answered: ‘I was sent only to the Lost Sheep of (the House of) Israel.’

(Bible Matthew 15:22-24)

These twelve (apostles) Jesus sent forth, and commanded them saying: ‘Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles (non-Jews), and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go ye rather unto the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.’

(Bible Matthew 10:5-6)

But the ministry of Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws) and the Revelation of the Glorious Quran revealed upon him are not limited to any people, but is a Guidance for all mankind until the end of time!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 185:

Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance for (all) mankind and consists of clear Teachings which show the Right Way, and are a Criterion of the Truth and falsehood.

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

This (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 39 Surah Zumar verse 41:

41 Verily We have revealed the Book (Quran) to thee (O Mohamed (saws)) in Truth for (instructing) mankind. He then that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 170:

170 O mankind! The Messenger (Mohamed (saws)) hath come to you in truth from Allah: believe in him: it is best for you. But if ye reject faith, to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibraheem verse 52:

52 Here is a Message (Al-Quran) for mankind: let them take warning therefrom and let them know that He is (no other than) One Allah: let men of understanding take heed.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiya verses 106-107:

106 Verily in the (Qur'an) is a Message for people who would (truly) worship Allah.

107 We sent thee (O Mohamed (saws)) not but as a mercy for all the Worlds.

The undisputable fact that the Glorious Quran is the Only Divine Book available in its unchanged and unaltered form today as a Book of Divine Guidance for all mankind makes it superior to any work of man which are claimed as Divine Scriptures by our unbelieving brethren!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 19:

Indeed, Islam in the ONLY right ‘way of life’ in the Sight of Allah.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 85:

And whoever adopts any other than this way of Islam, that way shall not be accepted from him and in the Hereafter, he shall be among the losers.

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.

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,
