Quran, in Arabic, could only have been
written by ONE of 3 possible sources:

      
1.  the Arabs

      
2.  Mohammad (peace be upon him)

      
3.  God (Allah)

(NOTE: The first part is not meant
to be a rigorous proof. It is something to ponder upon. However, the
second part, about Mohammad [pbuh] wrote it' contains more extensive
proof.)

Besides the above mentioned sources,
Quran couldn't possibly have been written by ANYONE else.

No other source is possible, because
Quran is written in pure, rich, and poetic Arabic, which was not known
to anyone other than the above mentioned sources, at that time. 
The Arabic language was at its peak in expression, richness,
vocabulary, artistic, and poetic value during the time the Quran was
being revealed. Anyone speaking the classical Arabic (the Arabic of
Quran at the time it was revealed) would argue that a non-Arab entity
couldn't possibly have written such an extensive and brilliant piece
of literature in the Arabic language. Quran could only have been
written by an Arabic speaking entity. An entity, who's knowledge,
style, vocabulary, grammar, and way of expression was so powerful that
it impacted the entire Arabian peninsula, the east, the west, and
continues to impact people all over the globe today!

At no other time, in the history of
Arabic language, had it ever achieved its peak in expression,
literature, and development, than the time of Arabia during the 6th
Century, the time when Quran was being revealed. At no other time in
the history of Arabic language had the language ever achieved its
highest potential than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the
time when Quran was being revealed. The language reached its peak in
richness, artistic value, and poetry, during that time. With the
Arabic language at its peak, and the best of Arabic writers, poets
present in Arabia, it is impossible that a non-Arabic speaking entity
would write a book like Quran and have such a dynamite impact on the
Arabs!

So only an Arabic speaking entity
could have write Quran. With that in mind, we're left with three
choices:

     1  - 
the Arabs wrote it

     2  - 
Mohammad (pbuh) wrote it

     3  - 
Allah (swt) Inspired
it

Lets examine the three choices one
by one.

(1)  Arabs
Wrote it?

What Quran teaches goes DIRECTLY
against the pagan Arab culture, religion, and gods, that existed
before the Quran was revealed. Quran condemns idol worshipping, but
the Arabs, loved their idol gods, and worshipped them regularly. Quran
raised the status of women; the pagan
Arabs treated women next to
animals. The Arabs would never write something that goes against their
most important belief of idol worshipping. Quran goes against most of
the social habits (such as backbiting, slandering, name calling, etc)
which the Arabs were heavily indulged into. Quran condemns and
prohibits taking interest on money, whereas, the Arabs freely levied
heavy interest rates in loans and businesses. Quran condemns and
prohibits Alcohol drinking, whereas, the Arabs consumed alcohol
freely. The Quran condemns and prohibits gambling, whereas, the Arabs
were some of the worst gamblers. The Arabs would never write something
so comprehensively against just about all of their customs and culture
and religious beliefs, as the Quran is.

During the time of the Holy Prophet
(pbuh), the Arabs would indulge in all the social habits that the
Quran condemns and prohibits. How can Arabs then write something that
would negate their entire society's norms and ideologies?

Did a group of Arabs or an
individual Arab write Quran?  Perhaps a rebel Arab Bedouin, or a
society's misfit, or someone with different ideals and norms decided
one day to write Quran? The answer to those questions are also 'no'. 
Because, if we read Quran, we notice that there is no author!  No
individual has his/her name written on the cover of Quran! Anytime an
individual writes a book, he/she writes his/her name on the cover. The
author's name always appears on his/her book, and there is always an
author who is credited for writing that book. No one in the history of
the world has EVER claimed to have written the Quran, nor anyone's
name ever appeared in front of the Quran as been the 'author'. This is
the only book in the world without an author. No one in the world has
ever been accused of writing the Holy Quran, except the Prophet
Mohammad (pbuh),
by non-muslims.

Quran has no author, and no group or
individual in Arabia ever claimed to have written it, nor any group or
an individual recited, taught, and explained Quran except the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers. The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was the
only Arabian who first practiced, explained, and preached Quran, and
ended up making a lot of Arab tribes enemies. Any historian, Muslim or
non-Muslim would argue that the only possible source of Quran can be
the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), the man responsible to recite it, teach
it, and explain it to the people of Arabia. In fact, many historians
today still think that only Mohammad (pbuh) could possibly have
written it.

This leads one to conclude that the
Prophet (pbuh) must have written it!

(2) Mohammad
(pbuh) wrote it?

First, he was illiterate !! 
How can an illiterate person come up with such a rich, poetic,
intellectual, and inspiring text that it rocked the entire Arabia?

Mohammad (pbuh) never went to
school! No one taught him. He had no teacher of any kind in any
subjects. How can he have the knowledge of all the science, astronomy,
oceanography, etc that is contained in the Quran? (For example, the
mention of ocean currents, stars, earth, moon, sun and their fixed
paths in Surah Rahman; and many other scientific statements that are
found in Quran, and cannot be stated in this short article)

When Quran was revealed, the Arabic
language was at its peak in richness, poetic value, literature, etc.
Quran came and challenged the best literature in Arabic, the best
poetry in Arabic of the time. Muhammad (pbuh) being illiterate
couldn't possibly have come up with something so immaculate that it
even exceeded the best of poetry, and literature in Arabic at the time
of the language's PEAK development. Arabic language had never been so
rich in expression, poetic value, vocabulary, and variety in
literature, as it was in the time of Quran. At a time like this, Quran
came and exceeded the best of Arabic in all aspects of the language:
poetry, literature, expression, etc. Any classical Arabic speaker
would appreciate the unbeaten, unchallenged, and unmatched beauty of
the language of Quran.

An illiterate man is simply not
capable of writing such a book.

Mohammad (pbuh) had no reason to
come up with something like Quran, and cause the entire society of
Arabia to become his enemy. Why would he do something like that? Why
would he write something going against almost all of the norms of the
society, and lose his family, relatives, friends, and other loved
ones, and not to mention all the wealth he lost. Also, what the
prophet Mohammad (pbuh) used to say is recorded in what we call his
hadeeth (sunnah). If we look at the Arabic style of the hadeeth, and
compare it with the style of Quran, we can clearly see that they are
clearly DIFFERENT, and DISTINGUISHABLE Arabic styles. The prophet
(pbuh) spoke in public. It does not make sense that a man has two
UNIQUE, Distinguishable, and completely different styles of speech in
public. Yet another reason why Mohammad (pbuh) couldn't possibly have
written Quran.

Quran was revealed over a period of
23 years ! A very long time! Is it possible for someone to maintain
the same exact style of Arabic speech , as demonstrated in Quran over
23 years?

Here's what the famous Scholar,
Ahmad Deedat said:

WAS QURAN WRITTEN
OR INSPIRED?

"Behold! The
angels said: "O Mary! God has chosen you and purified you -
Chosen you above the women of all nations."" Qur'an-3:42

THE SOURCE OF HIS
MESSAGE

"Chosen you above the women of
all nations." Such an honor is not to be found given to Mary even
in the Christian Bible!

Knowing full-well, and believing as
we do, that the whole Quran is the veritable Word of God, we will
nevertheless agree, for the sake of argument, with the enemies of Muhammad
(pbuh) for a moment, that he wrote it. We can now expect some
cooperation from the unbeliever.

Ask him, "Have you any qualms
in agreeing that Muhammad (pbuh) was an Arab?" Only an
opinionated fool will hesitate to agree. In that case there is no
sense in pursuing any discussion. Cut short the talk. Close the book!

With the man of reason, we proceed.
"That this Arab, in the first instance, was addressing other
Arabs. He was not talking to Indian Muslims, Chinese Muslims, or
Nigerian Muslims. He was addressing his own people - the Arabs.
Whether they agreed with him or not, he told them in the most sublime
form - words that were seared into the hearts and minds of his
listeners that Mary the mother of Jesus -A JEWESS- was chosen above
the women of all nations. Not his own mother, nor his wife nor his
daughter, nor any other Arab woman, but a Jewess! Can one explain
this? Because to everyone his own mother or wife, or daughter would
come before other women.

Why would the Prophet of Islam honor
a woman from his opposition! and a Jewess at that! belonging to a race
which had been looking down upon his people for three thousand years?
Just as they still look down upon their Arab brethren today.

SARAH AND HAGAR

The Jews get their cock-eyed racism
from their Holy Bible, where they are told their father, Abraham, had
two wives -Sarah and Hagar. They say that they are the children of
Abraham through Sarah, his legitimate wife; that their Arab brethren
have descended through Hagar, a "bondwoman", and that as
such, the Arabs are inferior breed.

Will anyone please explain the
anomaly as to why Muhammad (pbuh) (if he is the author) chose this
Jewess for such honor? The answer is simple - HE HAD NO CHOICE - he
had no right to speak of his own desire. "IT
IS NO LESS THAN AN INSPIRATION SENT DOWN TO HIM." (Qur'an, 53:4)

SURA MARYAM

There is a Chapter in the Holy
Quran, named Sura Maryam "Chapter Mary" (19) named in honor
of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ (pbuh); again, such an honor is
not to be found given to Mary in the Christian Bible. Out of the 66
books of the Protestants and 73 of the Roman Catholics, not one is
named after Mary or her son. You will find books named after Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul and two score more obscure names, but
not a single one is that of Jesus or Mary!

If Muhammad (pbuh) was the author of
the Holy Quran, then he would not have failed to include in it with
MARYAM, the mother of Jesus, his own mother - AMINA, his dear wife -
KHADIJA, or his beloved daughter - FATIMA. But No! No! this can never
be. The Quran is not his handiwork!

Another Muslim writes (in a post):

From: Abu Abdullah;

I was reading about the charge that
the prophet, Muhammed (pbuh), has written the Quran himself. Before
you go any further in reading this post, please ask yourself whether
you are a honest truth seeker or just another argumentative person, if
the former, continue, otherwise, save your time and jump to the next
post.

Islam is based on faith that is
supported by a number of strong miracles such as knowing what events
to take place ahead of time or coming up with supernatural deeds in
front of people. The holy Quran has these signs and much more. First,
The holy Quran predicted many events to take place ahead of the time
of the revelation of that verse; for example, predicting the
destruction of Persian empire at a time where the later had a
monumental victory over Rome. If the prophet, as some people claim,
has written the Quran, then he would have put his future in real
jeopardy (50% chance) since neither satellite photos nor on-ground
intelligence personnel were available to him at the revelation time.
Further, numerous details about many natural phenomena were detailed
in the Quran and, until recently, they were proven by experts to be
amazingly accurate. For example of the physical development of the
fetus inside the womb along with timing given by many verses matches
exactly what leading authorities in Embryology are claiming to be
recent discoveries. Moreover, verses that gives descriptions about the
creation of the universe and the function of mountains in balancing
earth and many other descriptions/explanations are available to be
read and to be understood. If the prophet was the author, wouldn't he
be prone to make weak inferences similar to those who claim that earth
is square and whoever says otherwise should be killed?

The prophet also has demonstrated
many supernatural miracles not by his own power, but by the power of
the creator. He went to Jerusalem back in one night and gave a
detailed description of the carnival that was traveling on that route
and also specific accident happened to them at that night (in those
days, it takes a month or so for a round-trip). In another occasion,
he provided water for an entire army from a small plate between his
hands. There are many other miracles that require serious truth seeker
to read about and to think about it.

From the above, it reasonable to
conclude that the Quran is not the PROPHET CREATION. HE HAD NO WAY TO
PREDICT ALL THESE EVENTS AND TO BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN
KNOWING THAT THE PROPHET HIMSELF WAS ILLITERATE!

Embryology and
Life Sciences in Quran

"The Developing
Human. Clinically Oriented Embryology"

Keith L. Moore

5th Edition, 
Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders Co. (1982)

The work by Prof. Keith Moore is
probably the most detailed study of the subject. Prof. Keith Moore is
Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, University of
Toronto.

His books on anatomy and on
embryology are used at many medical school as standard instruction
books. The Yale Medical school uses both his books. The Yale Bookstore
phone number for Medical books is: (203) 772-2081. Their general
information number is (203) 432-4771. (New Haven, Connecticut)

He is the authority on embryology. I
strongly recommend the latest edition of the latter book as it
mentions how accurately the Qur'an describes embryo development.

Prof. Moore has said: "It has
been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'an
about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must
have come to Muhammad from God or Allah because almost all of this
knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves
to me that Mohammed must have been a messenger of God or Allah."

Prof. Marshal Johnson, Professor and
Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Director of the Daniel Baugh
Institute, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. He says: "The
Qur'an describes not only the development of external form but
emphasizes also the internal stages -- the stages inside the embryo of
its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by
contemporary science....  If I were to transpose myself into that
era,  knowing what I know today and describing things, I could
not describe the things that were described.  I see no evidence
to refute the concept that this individual Mohammed had to be
developing this information from some place, so I see nothing in
conflict with the concept that Divine Intervention was
involved..."

Learn Holy Quran because it will be a proof for us muslim on the Day of Judgment.

This is due to the statement of the Messenger: “And the Quran is a proof for you or against you.” [Muslim] so the deputy of every Muslim is to read quran and learn quran with tajweed so one of two things will occur with this proof, the Book of Allah. And this quran education will be in your favor, a proof for us on the Day when we will need every single good deed and learning quran along with doing quran memorization is one of it and to add more spread the quran teaching and spread the kids quran knowledge and listening to quran online and understand the quran tafseer , it will be something standing against us and follow the guidance of or prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and these good deeds will be a proof against us! Who could be saved from the terrors of that Day if Allah’s own Speech is against him?!?! Think carefully, so reading Arabic Quran and teaching our kids quran qaida with the tafseer of quran  and let the kids memorize quran dear Muslim brother or sister, about your position with the reading Quran! Are you neglecting it, contradicting it, being heedless of its orders and prohibitions, are you thinking deeply over it?! Will it be on your side on the Day of Judgment.? So learn quran recitation! O Allah! We ask you, by Your Glorious Speech and the rest of your beautiful Names and Attributes, to make the Quran a proof for us! So the Quran tutor should let his student know about these facts also,
