Why do Muslims say the Quran is 'a miracle'?

IF the Muslims accepted the fact that [a] the Qur'an was no more than pedestrian prose lacking any poetry or philosophy and was no more than an incessant rant against the Disbelievers full of Hate and commandments to kill all the Disbelievers till ONLY Islam ruled the World, [b] that Mohammed ][pbuh]* was the most loathsome and disgusting man who had been a gigolo, bandit, murderer, rapist, total moral degenerate and pedophile and [c] that the Qur'an is full of mistakes like calling Amram [Imran] father of Mary, Mother of Christ and saying that Aaron was her brother and many other thing like that and [d] that the Qur'an contained ridiculous thing like the "Flat Earth" in many [places and then a claim that Earth was shaped like an ostrich egg and many other such ridiculous claims and contradictions etc etc ... they wouldn't remain Muslim.

That's why the Muslims say the Qur'an is "Miraculous".

To delude themselves further and keep their Faith.

read the Quran you will know

Different explanations have been given about the Quran being a miracle which can be sorted out under the following three categories: miracle in terms of the words of the Quran, miracle in terms of the contents and miracle in terms of its bringer.

1. The verbal miracle of the Quran is divided into two subsections:

A) The miracle of eloquence:

The Quran’s method of expression or eloquence is such that no method of human speaking, even that of the Holy Prophet (s) is comparable with it. That is why religious scholars have said that the action of those who prevented the inscription of apostolic tradition is not acceptable and justifiable.

B) Numerical miracle:

Today, endeavors have been made to establish special numerical relationship between the words and letters of the Quran, thanks to the computer and scientific progress. Such a relation can never exist in human speeches.

2. Miracle in terms of the contents of the Quran is also discussed in several parts:

A) Absence of any discrepancies in the Quran;

B) Reports or prophecies that have taken place exactly about some individuals or unseen events;

C) Quranic sciences: The Quran contains teachings and sciences that no human being could attain or acquire in the time when it was revealed. These teachings consist of profound mystical, philosophical and rational information.

D) The inability to nullify the sciences and teachings that are in the Quran. The Quranic sciences continue to be valid even after several centuries.

3. Miracle in terms of its bringer:

The Messenger of Islam (s) was an unschooled man. How could he create or write a book in the Arabian Peninsula at a time which was characteristic of public alienation with science and culture?

I find it funny that they wait until scientists "confirm" their vague short sentences as miracles its almost like they play word gymnastics to fit miracles into their book :O

Step one look at scientific discoveries

step two attempt to shoehorn it into the qurans vague passages

It's a miracle how much trouble one book can cause in the Middle East.

No miracles, just hearsay. Just because it's written, doesnt make it true, and most certainly doesnt make it a miracle.

Its not, but, rather obviously not perfect.

If you read about the history and the compilation of the quran, you'll know that it is very prone to corruption.

Actually it is already corrupted. How?

Its not arranged chronologically.

It changes in style in the later part.

Oral traditions and memorization of some but not ALL verses.

And people do forget.

The "burning of the quran" incident when uthman reigns.

Salam Yes we Muslims have the opinion that the Qur'an contains the greatest miracles given by Allah to prophet Muhammad the last messenger of Allah because it is so perfect,complete,logic and has no any contradiction

Islam is a lifestyle and the Quran explains God and our purpose in life, following Islam is a life choice and based on faith

I don't care if theRe are miracles or not, that's not the purpose

The Quran is a miracles because of these:

Surah Al Qamar (The Moon)54:1-3"The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."And they denied and followed their inclinations.But for every matter is a [time of] settlement."

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him:

"We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in Mina, when the moon was cleft asunder into two parts. Part of it was behind the mountain, and part of it before it.The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: 'Bear witness' meaning: The hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (54:1)."

Narrated Anas:

"The people of Makkah asked the Prophet (ﷺ) for a sign, so the moon was cleft asunder in Makkah two times (meaning two parts), so the following was revealed: 'The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder, up to his saying: 'Magic, Mustamir (54:1 & 2)' meaning 'Going away.'"

since then it has shrinking you can see the cracks on it there are pictures of it from Nasa

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet (ﷺ) went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking till the time of the prayer became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet (ﷺ) took it and performed the ablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), "Get up to perform the ablution." They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or so persons.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُبَارَكٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَزْمٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَعْضِ مَخَارِجِهِ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَانْطَلَقُوا يَسِيرُونَ، فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً يَتَوَضَّئُونَ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، فَجَاءَ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ يَسِيرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَوَضَّأَ، ثُمَّ مَدَّ أَصَابِعَهُ الأَرْبَعَ عَلَى الْقَدَحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُومُوا فَتَوَضَّئُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَتَوَضَّأَ، الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا فِيمَا يُرِيدُونَ مِنَ الْوَضُوءِ، وَكَانُوا سَبْعِينَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ‏.‏
