The Human Source of the Quran
Having studied the Quran, I think it was composed this way. Muhammad was
collecting his prose and poems and trying to edit them before publishing them
when he unexpectedly died. In my opinion, this is the reason the narratives are
so disjointed and
even at times seem contradictory. Any Arabic language expert with patience can
eliminate this problem by reorganizing the narratives into logical sequence.
There
is hardly a single complete narrative on any given topic recorded in one Surat.
Instead, bits and pieces are recorded here and there. In fact, the entire Quran,
according to scholarly investigation, must be read backwards to give the correct
chronological and logical perspective.
Surely,
if God speaks only Arabic and sent down the Quran from heaven in Arabic, he
would certainly have used more discretion, better organization, and a glowing
sequence of facts and events. The chaotic condition of the English translation
of the Quran is a glaring example of the disorganization in the original Cufik
dialect of Arabic.
How
can the one God send two clashing revelations, the Bible and
the Quran, to
confuse men? It is not the Bible which is contradictory and confusing. No, it is
definitely the Quran. If Muslims insist trial the Bible is corrupt, I will have
to declare that the evidence, much of which I have presented in this book,
vindicates the Bible and condemns the Quran. No reasonable person presented with
the evidence can believe otherwise.
