He talks about such things the creation itself as a proof and the
Fitrah amongst other things.
I also want to talk a little about the miraculous nature of the Qur'an. This is very useful for us as Muslims because it proves the following two things:
- That God exists
- That the Qur'an is a revelation from Allah
Historically, it was only the second point that really mattered but, in the modern world, atheism has risen to unprecedented levels so we can also now use the Qur'an to prove the existence of God.
But how is the Qur'an a miracle? Again, I'll have to very briefly skim over it but perhaps other members who have studied this topic will have time to explain it in detail.
There are several aspects to the miraculous nature of the Qur'an but primarily it is a
literary miracle. Hamza Tzortzis made an excellent website dedicated to explaining the literary aspect (and the objective nature thereof) of the Qur'an's miraculous nature which can be found
here. There are a variety of pdf documents on the website which you can access by clicking 'view' under each category. He has also written extensively about it on his blog (which I linked to previously).
Sheikh Yasir Qadhi also has a chapter in his book
An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'an about the miraculous nature of the Qur'an. If you haven't read this book, it's definitely worth purchasing. In it, he talks about the literary aspect as well as other aspects such as prophecies (which are clear and specific) and the fact that the Qur'an contains information about previous nations which Prophet Muhammad (
) had no recourse to. And yes, there can be no denying that Qur'an as a
scientific miracle is one such aspect as well.
Finally, Abdur Raheem Green spends some time talking about this in his series
The Proof that Islam is the truth which can be found online
here.
I urge all Muslims to study this topic because unfortunately it is all too common for Muslims these days to be ignorant of it which means that they have to base their belief in Islam on faith alone which is shaky. Studying the miraculous nature of the Qur'an allows us to base our belief in Islam on
proof which is a much more solid foundation.
