The criterion of divine revelation is perfect preservation, so the vastly corrupted Hadith and Sunna can never be divine revelation, and most Hadiths are false fabrications.1, 2
The mathematical phenomenon of the word God alone is incontrovertible proof that the Quran is God's message, since no human could have tracked its occurrences, especially in an age of ignorance.1
The plural in 15:9 reflects that the angel Gabriel and the prophet Muhammad took part in delivering the Quran.1, 2
The Quran is full of information that God keeps for revelation at a specific time.1
God alone knows the future and permits no one to unveil it, except that He reveals future and past events through the messengers He chooses.1
Afterward, the angel Gabriel helped Muhammad release a few verses at a time from his soul to his memory, and the Prophet wrote down and memorized them.1
On the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 years before the Hijrah, Muhammad's soul, the real person and not the body, was summoned to the highest universe and given the Quran.1
The first revelation, Read, says God teaches by means of the pen, and the second revelation is The Pen, and the only function of a pen is to write.1
All of God's messages have been delivered, and the Quran is the Final Testament.1
The Quran was written down from the Prophet's mouth right after revelation and was later collected under a rule that every verse needed at least two witnesses.1, 2
God conveys His guidance through a scripture, through a messenger, or through inspiration, and His guidance is better than any material things people hoard.1
Mary isolated herself from her family behind a barrier that separated her spiritually and physically, and then God sent Gabriel to her.1
No human being can communicate with God except through inspiration, from behind a barrier, or through a messenger by whom He reveals what He wills.1
The Quran is the word of God, sent down through the prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago, and Muhammad was told to write it down exactly as it was revealed.1, 2
God sends every messenger to preach in the language of his people so that people can understand him.1, 2
God sends instructions through scriptures delivered by messengers, and anyone who obeys God's will in them is guaranteed a happy life now and redemption in the Hereafter.1
Ramadan is the month in which God revealed the Quran, and those who witness it must fast, while the ill or traveling may make up the same number of days later.1, 2
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, and those who witness it shall fast in it.1
Ramadan is the month the Quran was revealed, and observing its fast glorifies God and shows appreciation for His guidance.1, 2, 3
The last ten nights of Ramadan are especially blessed, and the Night of Destiny, in which the Quran was revealed, is exceptional.1, 2, 3
The Quran is God's direct message to humankind, nothing artificial, and it could not be authored by anyone other than God.1, 2
God's worshipers never bear false witness, ignore vain talk, and do not react to God's revelations as if deaf and blind.1, 2
Over time the understanding and practice of revelation gather interpretation, speculation, and personal preference that dim the pure light of God's guidance.1
The Quran is God's gift, His guidance and instructions given through the prophet Muhammad.1
The best guidelines for happiness are found in God's revelations, because God created us and knows us better than we know ourselves.1, 2
Ramadan is the lunar month in which the Quran was revealed, and God decreed fasting in it so that we express our appreciation.1
The Quran was revealed on the Night of Destiny, when Prophet Muhammad received his call, and that night is better than a thousand months.1, 2
The Quran was sent down all at once but released in portions over 23 years, as people needed help and guidance.1, 2
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, and God wants the fast to bring convenience, not hardship, as a way to glorify and appreciate Him.1, 2, 3
God revealed the Quran into Muhammad's memory during Ramadan on the Night of Power, and it was then gradually released and written down by him over 23 years.1, 2
God sent scriptures, prophets, messengers, and other righteous people from time to time to point their people back to His words and establish justice.1, 2
According to 3:81, a prophet is given a scripture to deliver, while a messenger confirms existing scripture and does not bring a new one.1, 2, 3, 4
God is witness that the Quran was given to Muhammad to deliver to his people and to future generations.1
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, and those who witness this month must fast during it.1
The Night of Power is the night the Quran was revealed to Muhammad, a night better than a thousand months when the angels and the Spirit descend to carry out every command.1, 2
Messengers and scriptures recur to direct each generation to surrender, which shows how forgetful and unappreciative humankind is.1
God has not abandoned this generation, and He still speaks to it, teaches it, and guides it through the Quran.1, 2
The Quran affirms by its strongest oath that it is the utterance of an honorable messenger and a revelation from the Lord of the universe, not the words of a poet or soothsayer.1, 2, 3
God's words came out of Muhammad's mouth and were written down by his own hand.1
Rashad Khalifa was told through Gabriel that Sura 36, and especially verse 36:3, refers to him, and was given mathematical proof of it.1, 2
The Messenger of the Covenant brings nothing new, since everything he passes on is already in the Quran, but God keeps some Quranic information for revelation at a specific time.1
The message is entirely from God, and messengers cannot exist without the message.1
On the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 years before the Hijrah, Muhammad's soul was summoned to the highest universe and the whole Quran was revealed to him, then released to his memory over about 23 years.1
The Night of Destiny, in which the Quran was revealed, is better than a thousand months, and the angels and the Spirit descend in it.1
Had Muhammad uttered any teachings other than the Quran, God would have punished him and stopped the revelations to him.1
The Quran is the utterance of an honorable messenger, a revelation from the Lord of the universe, not the words of a poet or soothsayer.1, 2
The words read and pen in the first revelation show that people need to be literate, since reading and writing is the best way to gain and spread knowledge.1, 2
