Question
The
Qur’an is not the Word of God but on the contrary the
handiwork of Satan.
Answer
In
reply to a similar allegation put forward by the pagans
of Makkah, that the prophet (pbuh) received the revelations
from Satan, the following verses were revealed:
Surah
Waqiah, chapter 56 verses 77-80
"That
this is indeed
A Qur’an most honourable,
In
a Book well-guarded,
Which
none shall touch
But those who are clean:
A Revelation from the Lord
Of the Worlds."
Kitabim
Maknoon means a book well guarded or a protected book, referring
to Lauh-e-Mahfooz in the heaven, which none shall touch
except the Mutahhareen. i.e. those who do not have any uncleanliness
or impurity or evil like sin. This refers to the angels.
The satan is absolutely prohobited.
Thus
since it is impossible for satan to come anywhere close
to it or touch it, the question of him writing the verses
of the Glorious Qur’an does not arise.
It
is further mentioned in Surah Shura, chapter 26 verse 210-212
"No
evil ones have brought
Down this (Revelation):
It
would neither suit them
Nor would they be able (To produce it).
Indeed
they have been removed
Far from even (a chance of)
Hearing it."
Many
people have a wrong concept of satan. They think that satan
can probably do everything, except a couple of things that
God can do. According to them, satan is slightly below God
in power. Since the people do not want to accept that the
Qur’an is a miraculous revelation, they say that it
is satan’s handiwork.

If
satan would have written the Qur’an, he would not
have mentioned in the same Qur’an in Surah Nahl,
chapter 16 verse no. 98
"When
thou does read
The Qur’an, seek Allah’s protection from Satan
the Rejected One."
Is
this how you feel satan would write a book? Does he
tell you; "Before you read my book ask God to save you
from me?"
-
There
are several verses in the Qur’an which will give
enough evidence that satan is not the author of the
Qur’an.
In
Surah Al Aaraf chapter 7 verse 200
"If
a suggestion from Satan assail your (mind),
seek refuge with Allah; for He hears and knows
(all things).
Why
would satan tell his followers, that whenever he gives
any suggestions to them, they should seek refuge in
Allah (swt) to whom he is an avowed enemy.
-
In
Surah Baqarah, chapter 2 verse 168
"O
ye people!
Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good;
and do not follow the footsteps of the Evil one,
For he is to you an avowed enemy."
-
In
Surah Yasin, chapter 36 verse 60
"Did
I not enjoin on you,
O ye children of Adam,
that ye should not worship Satan;
for
that he was to you an enemy avowed?"
Satan
is intelligent, no wonder that he can put this idea
into the minds of people that he himself wrote the Qur’an.
Compared to Almighty God, Satan is insignificant, and
Allah (swt) is far more intelligent. He knows satan’s
evil intentions and hence no wonder that He has given
the reader of the Qur’an several proofs to show
that Qur’an is God’s word, and not satan’s
word.
The
Bible mentions in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 3, verses
24-26
"And
if a kingdom be divided against itself, that
kingdom cannot stand."
"And
if a house be divided against itself,
that house cannot stand."
"And
if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end."
