Do they not contemplate the Quran? Had it been from [someone] other than Allah, they would have surely found much discrepancy in it.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah An-Nisa', Verse 82
82. "Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? And if it were from other than Allah, they would surely find therein much discrepancy."
Among the accusations that they brought a charge against the Prophet (S) was that they said someone else had taught the Holy Qur'an to him, "... only a mortal teaches him..." 3. This verse is an answer to them. The lack of contemplation in the Qur'an results to the locking of the hearts. In another verse it says:
It is customary that, during a long time, there happen some changes, improvements, and contradictions in the ordinary statements and written materials. But this Qur'an was revealed during twenty three years, and was conveyed by the tongue of an illiterate person. It was stated in different conditions of peace and war, stranger hood and fame, strength and weakness, and in various circumstances of times, without any doctrinal differences or any contradiction. This proves that it is the Word of Allah, not taught by a mortal.
Therefore, the Qur'an is the ever remaining miracle of the Prophet (S) which itself is an evidence unto his prophet hood.
