So, God spoke to the prophet (pbuh) and the prophet (pbuh) spoke to some people and the people went away and wrote it down.
And they never made a mistake

There were many safeguards built in so that any errors, in writing it down, would be immediatly detected. It was written during the lifetime of the person it was revealed to. It was memorized by the followers oraly before it was written on paper. Any errors in transcribing would have been seen. Only text that was witnessed as having been the origianal words were accepted as being the true transcript, This was clarified by those that were there at the time it was written. Any writtings that were not witnessed, by those that knew the actual words were destroyed. The final text was in full accordance with all witnesses and was as they had written and memorized.

Good answer.
Actually the revelation of quran is under a subject of its own called 'Ulum al
Quran' (Sciences of Koran). U can have a degree just studying this subject only. A good book I've read about it is 'Sciences of Quran by Thameem Ushama'.
their writings are double or triple or more checked by others. It must be something unanimous. Furthermore it's checked by Prophet. Prophet also memorize the whole Koran and checked by Angel Gabriel. God proclaimed he satisfied too. That's what we believe.
Sounds reasonable

Joe98, i disagree with you. No Human can possibly write such a book. In the Quran it is stated that if it was any other auther but god thier would of been many mistakes.

Okay I'm going to try to look at this from Joe98's point of view. I guess that since he isn't a Muslim and doesn't believe that Prophet Mohammed was instructed by God, it would seem quite real to him that the Quran could have been written by mankind. This is plausible for him to hold these views. Such a book could have been written to serve a political purpose or control the masses (which I believe he stated earlier).
The Quran is precious to you because you are a Muslim. If you weren't raised a Muslim or hadn't embraced Islam, the Quran wouldn't seem like such a miracle. Does the Bhagavad Gita hold a special place in your heart?

I never thought about it. I'll say it maybe the word of God (like Snakeleggs said without believing or disbelieving). At this point in my life I feel that if it is the Word of God I don't have to believe in it because I am a Christian. I like to view the religions as being equal in worth and both paths to heaven.
sister if you agreed with christianity & believe that its a path to heaven then you should disagree with islam
because in christianity those who will enter the heavens are those who believed in jesus as GOD whom sacrificed for the world to erase their sins
and if you agrred with islam & believe that its the word of GOD then you should also believe that GODS words should not have contradicting contents, so how come GOD says in the bible that jesus is GOD & says in the quran that those who believe that jesus is GOD will not enter theheaven
If i ask somone about his shirt color would the answer be : its black but its white in the same time?
no
if i asked someone about his age would he say : i'm 42 but i'm 20 in the same time
no
what i want to say is : the truth is one and cant be more than one
Atheists this is you situation now:
the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients." (25) Others they keep away from it and themselves they keep away; but they only destroy their own souls and they perceive it not. (26)(Translation of surat Al'anam)

You are correct. I do not believe that I fully accept Christianity or Islam at this point in my life. This is why I am researching both.

With all respect Sylla, this is a common error in a religious debate. For a statement to be made and then try to back the opposing view into disproving that view. It is impossible to disprove a view. When we make a statement it becomes our responsibility to prove the view, not for the disagreeing person to disprove it.
A statement was made that the Qur'an was written by God(swt) it is up to us to offer evidence that is true, not to expect the antagonist to come up with the name of an author. An answer stating the Author chose to be anonymous, would be valid, and we would not be able to offer acceptable proof that is a wrong answer. We have considerable evidence to believe it was written by God.
No human has ever been able to duplicate a similar work. (this does not make much sense to a non-Arabic speaking person unless it is explained to them that in Arabic, the Qur'an is written as a beautifull poetic form and that in Arabic it is vitually impossible to write the thoughts of the Qur'an in that form and have it make any sense.)
There were many eyewitnesses to it's writting It can be historically shown that Mohammad did not have the literary skills to write a book. there had to have been a Higher Power guiding him
There can be shown references in earlier scripture that Mohammad would be born.

many of the truth searching ppl crossed this point one day

Allah (God) (swt) Wrote the Qur'an. There has been more then suficient proof to convince many of us that is true. To those that do not see the proof, no amount of proof will be sufficient to show them.
