*16 examples to show how that’s impossible*

The Arabian peninsula wasn’t known for any books, then came the Quran, with its vast amount of information and it’s beautiful speech, a speech against Meccan paganism. The meccans were shocked after hearing it from one of their own, Muhammad ﷺ the grandson of Abd al-Muttalib
They knew Muhammed ﷺ for 40 years and now he’s reciting verses of revelation, a revelation that was revealed throughout 23 years, verses which was revealed in front of people, responding to what’s happening in front of them.
Existing scriptures the source of the Quran ?
Existing scriptures the source of the Quran ?
Before we answer the question, we need to understand 2 things
1-the scriptures weren’t in Arabic at his time
2-Muhammad ﷺ was illiterate just like the majority of people
The Quran testified for his illiteracy & he didn’t know the placement of words on the parchment

When some orientalists look at the Quran, they impose a naturalistic explanation, whenever they see a familiar story they assume a source and so they build an imaginary library for muhammed ﷺ

1. (The number of the children of Israel in the exodus)
2. (The generations of humanity between the Bible and the Quran)
3. (Pharaoh’s claim of divinity)
This is an image of Ramses II (believed to be the pharaoh of the exodus) being adored by two gods

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people protested, “Are you going to leave Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?”…

4. (The magicians of pharaoh and a crucifixion)
And because of that difference, People assumed it to be a historical mistake in the Quran. However after 1822 when the hieroglyphics were deciphered, we can see “crucifixion” in ancient Egypt in the time of Merenptah the son of Ramses

5. (The miracles of Moses in front of pharaoh)
6. (What happened to pharaoh’s body after his death ?)
Quran 26:23-25
Pharaoh asked, “And what is ‘the Lord of all worlds’?” Moses replied, “˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith.”Pharaoh said to those around him, “Did you hear ˹what he said˺?”
He then claimed to be a god

Moving on to the story of Joseph
7. (The wisdom and awareness of Jacob)

8. (Jacob’s reaction to the lies of his sons)
9. (The separation of Joseph and his family)
10. (How Jacob handles the tribulations)
11. (The proper title of the leader of Egypt)
12. (The 7 years of drought and a destructive east wind in Egypt ?)
13. (Joseph’s solution to the 7 years of drought)
A comparison which proved that storing wheat inside its spikes increases its storage life span ifst.onlinelibrary.wiley.com so Joseph in the Quran is giving them a very important advice to help them survive the 7 difficult years
Here’s a story regarding the prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his weak knowledge of agriculture.
14. (The brothers speaking to Joseph regarding Benjamin)
15. (Joseph’s reunion with his family)
16. (The fulfillment of Joseph’s dream)
Keep in mind none of these arguments were made by the prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself or by his companions, because these information weren’t accessible to them.
This is the prophet’s reaction to the past scriptures.
