I had made a thread since more than a month ago relating to this topic, but it contained a debate between the believers’ perspective and the atheist’s perspective of creation, and So it was wisely moved to religious debates where I continued the respectful humble debate with other respected members.,
So I put its link here for anyone who wants to join the debate:
Science & the holy Qur’an’s philosophy, including the evolution vs. intelligent design discussion
But here in DIR I will Only convey the Islamic perspectives of creation without any trial to start any debate,
Also I will elaborate more on the Linguistic & Scientific signs in the holy Qur’an for anyone who is interested to know more about the holy Qur’an. And since I’m an Egyptian Arab Person & a well-educated reader in these topics through the years, So I humbly consider myself quite qualified to humbly convey & illustrate this issue.
I will divide the thread into subjects, each subject in its own post that conveys a point & its related information & verses.
1- First: Linguistic signs in the holy Qur’an:
First Again I repeat the statement that “The holy Qur’an is a book of Signs, philosophy, & Guidance; it’s Not a book of science”. But I want add to it another statement:
The Holy Quran is also the perfect Arabic Linguistic Book ever.
Well, for anyone who is not acquainted with the Arabic language can hardly feel this, Because to feel and understand this fact you need to be at least quite good “above average level” at the Arabic language. You also need to have at least some readings in the Arabic literature and poems.
So allow to me to convey this fact, “the holy Qur’an Exceeds the best old and new Arabic literature & poems by at least a hundred degrees better”. And truly I’m not exaggerating.
Well, some could say, but for a non-Arabic person how can he be convinced about this fact,
Well, simply see the historical facts:
First we need to understand that the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula 14 hundreds years ago had No civilizational merit at all except one civilizational advantage:
They were the best in their language: The Arabic Language, Which was the richest Language of their time.
What made this richness in the language possible is the Root Letters Based Grammar which made it possible for the fewest number of letters in each word to have the most diverse & rich combinations possible to convey multiple related meanings using the fewest tweaks and differences in letters.
By the way the Arabic language has 28 main letters; each has around 5 ways of written & pronounced formations according to the meaning, so the same word can have multiple meanings depending on the formation.
The Arabs were very proud of their language; they even made big festivals for all the poets and story tellers to compete with their Linguistic products “Mostly presented Verbally” and funded these festivals with very big valuable prices for the winners.
While Prophet Muhammed was known to be a normal honest, humble & friendly person, who was successful in his career as a trader, he did Not show any interest in poetry and literature ever.
But Suddenly at 40 years old, he comes with a linguistic product “the holy Qur’an” continually for 23 years after, defying all the Proud Arabs to even challenge it with one similar chapter.
Keep in mind that “Mekka city” the home of the prophet and its tribes’ collection called “Quraish” were the best in Arabic Language capabilities of all other Arabian tribes in the Arabian Peninsula, and the main Language Festivals including the biggest festival “Oakaz” were regularly held in it.
So practically the holy Qur’an challenged linguistically the best of the best in their language.
Now comes the point, What did “Quraish” tribe do to refute and defeat this new growing religion “Islam” which threatened their old ways and made a simple linguistic challenge to prove it’s from God by challenging them to produce one chapter similar to it.
The simple suggestion would be that they should simply produce a similar product to this linguistic product to easily with no effort end this new religion.
But they couldn’t, they couldn’t produce just one chapter similar to the holy Qur’an. They even did not try a serious trial, since they immediately realized how supreme and superior it is.
What they did is:
1- Persecution and torture of the followers of Islam.
2- Mocking and insulting the prophet and the followers.
3- Telling Persian and Byzantine distraction stories to distract people from listing to the linguistic miracle “the holy Qur’an”, because they noticed that any Arabian who listens to holy Qur’an with an open heart immediately follows Islam and believes that this book is Not produced by Mohammed, but actually it’s from God Almighty.
4- And Finally Raging Multiple wars against the prophet and Muslims where they lost every political and military power they had before.
They did everything in their power including raging wars for decades, while simply if they could produce one chapter similar to holy Qur’an they could had won everything and defeated this new religion effortlessly.
This is the point; the best of the best in their own language were defeated by a linguistic supreme & superior product “The holy Qur’an”.
And I know some have heard about some newer trials to produce a similar Arabic linguistic product after the prophet died and even recently.
Well, if you are simply above average level in the Arabic language you will immediately see how naive and silly these so called similar products are.
The point is that “Quraish” which was the best of best in the Arabic language even couldn’t produce a similar chapter to holy Qur’an, while they had the strongest motives to do so.
I hope this essay clarifies this issue more to Muslims and non-Muslims here.
The next post by God’s willing will be about the Islamic perspectives of the origin of creation.
