Muslims: Can you prove that the Quran came directly from God?
If so, how and what! other than the Quran said so, or Muhammad taught it so! Since the Quran was delivered word of mouth. Muhammad's Mouth. Can you prove it!
I am not saying it is or it is not. I am just wondering.
Before you attack Christians or their beliefs. please don't. They have nothing to do with this question. Just looking for some understanding.

The first revelation was "Read," and included the statement "God teaches by means of the pen" (96:1-4), and the second revelation was "The Pen" (68:1). The only function of the pen is to write.
Ignorant Muslim scholars of the first two centuries after the Quran could not understand the Quran's challenge to produce anything like it. They had no idea about the Quran's mathematical composition, and they knew that many literary giants could have composed works comparable to the Quran. In fact, many such literary giants did claim the ability to produce a literary work as excellent as the Quran. The latest claim came from Taha Hussein, the renowned Egyptian writer.
The ignorant Muslim scholars then decided to proclaim Muhammad an illiterate man! They figured that this would make the Quran's extraordinary literary excellence truly miraculous. The word they relied on to bestow illiteracy upon the Prophet was "UMMY." Unfortunately for those "scholars," this word clearly means "Gentile," or one who does not follow any scripture (Torah, Injeel, or Quran) [see 2:78, 3:20 & 75, 62:2]; it does NOT mean "illiterate."
The Prophet was a successful merchant. The "Muslim scholars" who fabricated the illiteracy lie forgot that there were no numbers during the Prophet's time; the letters of the alphabet were used as numbers. As a merchant dealing with numbers every day, the Prophet had to know the alphabet, from one to one-thousand.
The Quran tells us that Muhammad wrote down the Quran - Muhammad's contemporaries are quoted as saying, "These are tales from the past that he wrote down. They are being dictated to him day and night" (25:5). You cannot "dictate" to an illiterate person. The Prophet's enemies who accuse him of illiteracy abuse Verse 29:48, which relates specifically to previous scriptures.
On the 27th night of Ramadan 13 B.H. (Before Hijerah), Muhammad the soul, the real person, not the body, was summoned to the highest universe and the Quran was given to him (2:97, 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-18, 97:1-5). Subsequently, the angel Gabriel helped Muhammad release a few verses of the Quran at a time, from the soul to Muhammad's memory. The Prophet wrote down and memorized the verses just released into his mind. When the Prophet died, he left the complete Quran written down with his own hand in the chronological order of revelation, along with specific instructions as to where to place every verse. The divine instructions recorded by the Prophet were designed to put the Quran together into the final format intended for God's Final Testament to the world (75:17). The early Muslims did not get around to putting the Quran together until the time of Khalifa Rashed `Uthmaan. A committee was appointed to carry out this task.

Only tangible things can be "proved." That does not mean that other things are false.
The Islamic claim that Quran is a word of God is based on:
1. Trustworthiness of historical sources.
2. Consistency in Quran, as compared to the internal consistency of the Bible.
3. Relevancy of Quran
4. Language of Quran which is very poetic/musical, almost symphonic.
5. Accuracy of Quran in describing natural phenomena without making a single mistake, which is amazing for a book written 1400 years ago.
6. Common sense appeal.
7. In Quran, God speaks assertively like God, not like a human being trying to win hearts and minds.
8. Mathematical miracle of Quran.
9. Relativity of time, mentioned twice in Quran. That's amazing for somebody who lived 1400 years ago.
10. Description of how Prophet Muhammad received revelation...that description is very similar to how Jewish prophets received revelation.

Dear
It is easy to disprove Holy Quran if you or any one could write few sentences as written in Quran.
This is a challenge from the God Allah since Holy Quran was revealed to our Holy Prophet peace be on him. and So far in one thousand five hundred years no scholar no poet in arabic could write few sentences like Holy Quran and this challenge is still Valid today.
The following Verse of Holy Quran in this regard.
10:38. Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!"

Number one i never attack Christians for their beliefs or for anything for that matter? Rather rude to assume Muslims would.
Number two how can you or anyone prove Jesus was God? How can you prove you anything to anyone when it comes to faith? The definition of faith is -Belief; trust; confidence; conviction in regards to religion; systems to religious belief, strict adherence to duty and promises, word of honor or pledge. Once you know the definition then to be faithful is to follow firm in that faith without proof.
How was any religious text written if not first from the mouth of another?
So can i prove it? No. Can you disprove it? No. And therein for every person of faith be he christian, Jew, Hindu, Sikh, Mormon, Jehovah's witness, Muslim, catholic etc etc etc it is ALL based on faith....
