Have you ever heard anything that comes even close to being comparable to a single sura in the quran?

    nope and it wont happen .

    god says in the holy Quran :

    Say: If the whole of mankind and jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur`an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.

    The language of the Qur’an — Arabic — has, unlike other international languages, remained a living form of communication over the ages.

    The Qur’an is unique among divine scriptures in that its text has remained intact in the original form.

    The Qur’an challenged its doubters to produce a book like it. No one has been able to take up this challenge, and produce anything comparable to the Book of God.

    Every word of the Quranic text is meticulously chosen, chiselled and placed by the All-Wise himself. They carry God's 'fingerprint', and are signs of God. And yet, the spirtually jaundiced....

    Scientific miracles mentioned in Quran that cannot be told by a human 1400 years ago. Those scientific miracles are being confirmed today by the scientists. One of the miracles is given in brief below:

    Predictions about the future which came true , like :

    Fall of Persian Empire

    Abu Lahab

    Literary Master Piece

    Use and Mention of Words

    For myself, I (Dr Garry Miller) have interest in mathematics & logic. There is a verse in the Qur'an:

    "This a scripture whose verses are perfected and then expounded."(11:1)

    Which tells me that there are no wasted words in the Qur'an; that each verse is perfected and then it is explained. It could not be in a better form. One could not use fewer words to say the same thing or if one uses more words one would only be adding superfluous information.

    A revolution in logic has occurred in the last one hundred years, primarily over the difference between use and mention of words. Aristotle's law of the 'excluded middle' was the statement that every statement is either true or false. About a hundred years ago, somebody pointed out that the law of the excluded middle is a statement and is therefore not a law after all. It could just as well be false as well as true. This was a tangled knot for the logicians to untie until they came to understand the difference between the use and the mention of a word.

    When we use a word, we consider its meaning. When we mention a word we are discussing the word itself. If I said Toronto is a large city, I mean Toronto, that place, is a large city. If I say Toronto has seven letters, I am talking about the word 'Toronto'. In the first case I used the word and in the second I mentioned the word.

    And these are just some of the miracles. The Quran is full of miracles and new ones being discovered with time.

    Never.

    We're in no position to judge but I've heard a story about a great poet of Muhammed SAW 's time that he had taken refuge in a cave due to the problems in the city (not religious).People came to him for corrections in their poetry.One day a person gave him surah Kausar without telling him the source and asked him to come up with the fourth verse.The next day,he returned the surah with a note that said, " haza laisa quolul bashar",meaning this is not the word of a human.

    We really can't judge the beauty of Quran since arabic is not our native language but there are people who can and they say its the most powerful thing they've heard in their life.

    The Qur'an is quite beautiful in many places, it is hard to find a match for the places where it is pure and uncorrupt.

    But I have a question to ask, because I am a person of honesty and realize that no matter how much we want to defend our beliefs, we are not true followers of Allah if we are dishonest about the truth of our holy books.

    Why do Muslims misrepresent the history of the Qur'an and say that it is perfect and unchanged from Prophet Muhammad's original recitations?

    I researched the history and it was not written down until after Muhammad died from a number of reciters and that actually several versions emerged and later these were consolidated but still variants existed (or still exist). Also, if none but Allah is perfect, as the Qur'an and Bible say, then why is it assumed that all the reciters were perfect and remembered the verses perfectly as Muhammad recited them? If that were true, no variants would have ever emerged. This claim of unchanged perfection appears very dishonest to me and a belief that is a trick of the devil. It is in fact a very dangerous belief (Christians have the same dangerous belief that "every word of the Bible is true," which can be proven false quite easily by pointing to the four incompatible accounts of events surrounding the Resurrection).

    I found a verse in chapter 4 in this translation http://www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch/ where Allah gives instruction for men to beat disobedient wives. No, no, no, Allah would never give instruction for men to brutalize women. Divorce them, maybe, but brutalize them? Men are so much stronger than women, Allah would never give this instruction. I will never believe such a thing about Allah.

    The Torah and the New Testament Gospels are also corrupted, of course. The trick is to know Allah well enough in moral teachings and in your heart to recognize the few but significant corruptions in each of the holy books.

    And there is nothing special about Arabic that puts it above any other language. God speaks to people in whatever language those people speak, but there is no privilege of one language or people over another. The Holy Qur'an is in Arabic because the Prophet chosen for it spoke Arabic. Allah chose Arabia, I believe, to stop the spread of a corrupt Christianity that would have otherwise come to the area and to have another religion to stand against corrupted Christianity to carry forth Allah's plans unfolding before us leading to the defeat of the anti-Christ. Arabs should be as careful as others to not fall into the devil's trick of the deadly sin of pride, to hold themselves, their culture, or their language above others rather than as equals.

    I have not heard of a single surah of the Quran coming close to other writings.

    Muslims believe nothing beats the Quran, because the Quran says nothing does!

    Yes this is one of the most beautiful passages I have ever read: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Well Not really.

    The Quran is the work of Allah (Swt) which nothing can be compared. For he (swt) is not like us nor are we like him.
