Sorry. I dint know that Arabic language was "Science".
Can i doubt this statement or is it a Wahi, absolute, definitive, and beyond-questioning?
Okay, I choose to doubt.
Language of Quran has been a topic of great debate right from the beginning. Very eloquent and very appealing. Prophet SAw was called "Poet" for a reason. People fail to understand the idea behind this allegation. "Poetry" was a common medium of communication back then, amongst Urban Arabs. Abu Bakar, Bilal, Abu Jahal, Abu Talib, Ka'b, Hamza etc etc have recorded pieces of poetry as part of a discourse on different occasions. In a Society where even uneducated slaves usedPoetry as a medium of speech, calling someone a POET was indeed an acknowledgement of his eloquence.
In the setting where all of Meccans, headed by Utba, called upon Prophet SAW and asked him his wishes for stop cursing their Idols and Gods, it was blamed on Prophet SAW that he'd learnt to read from a man called "Abdul Rehman". (Which He SAW did not refuse. He SAW dint speak about it at all).
Once Utba (Who had a soft corner for Prophet SAW), who was the most powerful Chief of Mecca, he went to convince Prophet SAW that Prophet SAW shouldn't not curse their Gods. When he came back, people ask him whether he'd convinced Mohammad SAW. He dint reply. People blamed he was spellbound by Mohamamd SAW.
Once when all of Arab Chiefs were present, they just wanted Mohammad SAW to stop cursing their Gods. They offered Him to keep preaching His Religion and live in co-existence. Every time Arabs came to Abu Talib, they came for just one thing. Tell Mogammad SAW NOT to curse our forefathers, our elders, our Gods, and our Religion. In the beginning until the day Meccans became certain that Mohammad SAW had military plans in mind, they never told Prophet SAW to stop preaching his thoughts. Their only demand was that Mohammad SAW should cease cursing their elders and Gods.
Question is, what made Meccans so distrubed if a man who dint hold a good social standing in the city, cursed their Gods? Why'd they feel so distressed? Could they not simply ignore him?
Answer of this question lies in Prophet SAW eloquent and powerful speech. He knew how to disturb others. He knew the capacity of expression of words. He knew what words would hit what nerve.
Once when Chiefs of Mecca asked Utba to solve the matter with Mohammad SAW, Utba called upon people to understand their opinion about the "Nature of Abilities" of Mohammad. His eloquence of speech was discussed there. Prophet SAW was called "An expert of the Art of the Ancients".
Though Abu Jahal was never impressed. Prophet SAW uncle Abu Lahab was never impressed. You know why?
Because Abu Jahal himself was a great poet. He was a very eloquent person himself.
And by the way, who wrote the Quran Manuscript at Birmingham Museum? Who wrote? Who was the Writer? There were only 55 men and 4 women who could write. Women couldnt write so well, I reckon. So who wrote that Quran? Who was the person who knew writing but his name could never come along? None of the Sahaba told in any of the Ahadith that they'd written whole Quran. Was it Mohammad SAW himself? Did he know writing? The allegation made against Him SAW that He SAW had known to reading and writing was correct?
I find it ironically funny that 1500 years ago, Kufar were saying that Quran was "The Art of the Ancients" and 1500 years after that Muslims are saying that Quran is "Science".
Its neither. Its just a "Creation". Whoever created it was a very bright and eloquent person who was very well aware of customs and culture of Mecca and who had an extensive knowledge of human psychology.
Even funnier is this fact that you're claiming it to be Science and praising its language and structure, while you cannot even understand it. Can you understand Quranic Arab with its true essence? Do you know that Quranic Arabic is different from contemporary Arabic?
You're exalting a book you couldn't even understand.
Who told you, by the way, that Quran is very eloquent? You've heard it? Right?
Great! Indeed are you a man of reason.
Referencing system and chain of narrators.. Is it Science too? Referencing is Science? Since when?
History and Hermeneutics of Quran? History, I assure you, i know as far as it can be known. Hermeneutics is a fallacy. I'm neither interested in it nor do i attach any value to this "branch of knowledge".
Will you start doubting Quran if the study of Hermeneutics of Quran end up in establishing that Quran is not consistent and coherent? If not, then what the point in referring to it?
Early Muslims who understood that time, its exigencies, and the true language has explained every verse of Quran. Read Ibn Abbas.
Lets not forget that "Hermeneutics of Quran" is the reason theres countless sects and Islam has gone through a divide.
Does it please you to coin big terms and write heavy words for the sake of writing, Without understanding what you actually are saying?
What I know about Metaphysics and Cosmology? I know nothing. I'm a student, trying to learn. What I know makes no question. What Quran knows makes a question.
So please fill me in with " The Theories of Quran". What "Topics" Quran has DISCUSSED? Be specific and bring forth a "Topic of Quran" and I'll let you know what i know.
Quran.. A book of stories and sometimes contradictory texts.
Understanding of Religon is largely associated with the disposition you've got as a man.
A man who's extreme in his behaviour, who's mentally unstable, who's got a limited understanding of the world around him, who's got vested interests served in the practice of religion, who's got a great imagination about hell and heaven, who's weak, who's vulnerable, who lacks brains, who's lost grip on reality, who's walled himself off, who's shut his eyes from the World, who cannot resist propaganda, who cannot tell things apart, who's bound by social exigencies to stick to the religion, or the one who isnt really bothered whether there is a religion or not........ practice religion.
