Q: What is the effect of the Qur'an on the human heart?

Do not extend your eyes to what We have given some couples of them (rich disbelievers) as temporary enjoyment (in life = Matta'na) and do not grieve over them (such as the Prophet's own rich uncles) and lower your wing (like a bird) to the believers;
And (command to Prophet Muhammad) say indeed I am the evident warner; Just like what we had sent down upon the dividers (= alMuqtasimeen 'people of the Book'); Those who made the Qur'an into separated limbs (parts)**; So by your God We (Allah) will ask them all; About what they were doing; So declare*** (publicly) what you are commanded and (command to Prophet Muhammad) turn away (= a'ridh) from the polytheists (disbelievers); For We have turned away from you the ridiculers (= AlMustah'zeen); Those who make with Allah another god then soon they will come to know; And We (Allah) certainly know that your chest tightens up (annoyed) with what they say****; So glorify the Praise of your God and be from those who prostrate (worshippers); And worship your God until the Certainty (death) comes to you.

Translation of: Ayah 23, Surat AlZumar. (39:23)

Q: How did Allah challenge those who said that the Qur'an is made up by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?

A: And it was not for this Qur'an to be made up by other than Allah; But a confirmation of what was before it (Original Torah and Bible) and detailing (= Tafsseel*) of the Scripture (The Origin of The Holy Books) - no suspicion (uncertainty) in or about it (Qur'an) - from the God of the inhabitants of all worlds;
Or do they say that he (Prophet Muhammad) made it up - say (command to Prophet Muhammad) then bring a chapter (= Surah) like it and call whoever you can other than Allah if you were telling the truth; Yet they rejected as lies what they did not have thorough knowledge of (Allah's Unseen World) and its interpretation has not reached them - in the same way those before them rejected as lies so see how the ending of the transgressors (unjust to Allah because of disbelieving) was.
Translation of: Ayat 37 - 39, Surat Yunus. (10:37-39)

Q: Why do some people dispute about the Qur'an?

Hint: Allah knows the nature of the disbelievers. If Allah sent them only a Miraculous Sign (Qur'an) they would have asked for a Prophet. If Allah sent only a Prophet they would have asked for a Miracle. So Allah sent them both.
A: And if We (Allah) did destroy them with a punishment before it (Qur'an) they would have certainly said: Our God if only you sent us a messenger so that we follow Your Miraculous Signs (Qu'ran) before we are humiliated and disgraced (on Day of Judgment).

(Marked by) Around her neck is a palm-fibre rope***
Translation of: Ayat 1 - 5, Surat AlMasad. (111:105)
* In a summary of an incident: When the Prophet Muhammad was commanded to "And warn your nearest kinsmen;" Translation of Line 214 in Chapter AlShuara' in the Qur'an, the Prophet climbed a mountain and his people of Quraish gathered to hear him. The Prophet said: If I tell you that the enemy will attack you will you believe me. They said: Yes (the Prophet was known to tell the truth). He continued: "So I am warning you against a severe punishment of Allah". His uncle "Abu Lahab" (his original name was Abd AlUzza Bin AbdulMatalib and he was nicknamed "Abu Lahab" because of his ruddy (red-color) complexion) said: For this you gathered us? Destruction to you (= Tabban Laka")! So Surat "AlMasad" was revealed. Source: Tafseer Ibn Kastheer, volume 4, page 864.
** "Um Jameel" (wife of Abu Lahab and sister of Abu Sufyan) used to intertwine thorny sticks and lay them at night in the way of the Prophet Muhammad to harm him.

Q: Why there is not any other prophet or Holy Book sent by Allah after the Prophet Muhammad and the Qur'an?
A: For We (Allah) sent down upon you (Prophet Muhammad) the Scripture (Qur'an) for all people (= LilNas)* with Truth - so whoever is guided then it is for himself (his benefit) and whoever does wrong then he only does wrong for himself and you (Prophet Muhammad) are not for them responsible.
Translation of: Ayah 41, Surat AlZumar. (39:41)
* Other prophets were sent to their peoples but the Prophet Muhammad was sent to all humanity.

O Moses indeed it is I Allah the God of the inhabitants of all worlds; And throw your staff so when he saw it moving - it was looking like a snake* he turned running away and he did not look back - O Moses come and do not fear for you are of those who are secure (with Allah); And slip your hand inside your pocket it will come out shiny without harm and get a grip on the fear (relax stiffness) so those are two Proofs = Burhanan) from your God to Pharaoh (Phiroun) and his assembly for they were sinful people.

Translation of: Ayat 23 - 24, Surat Yusuf. (12:23-24)

Translation of: Ayah 72, Surat AlIsra' (known also as Surat Beni Israel).

Q: How is the Qur'an a Miracle that supported the prophet Muhammad as a Messenger of Allah?
Hint: Several of Allah's Messengers were sent with miracles to fortify the messengers. The miracles were to surpass what their people were masters in. (At the time of Prophet Moses there were great magicians. At the time of Jesus peace be upon him physicians were important. Arabs at the time of the Prophet Muhammad were famous for their mastering of the Arabic language both in style and vocabulary. There were great poets among them. The Qur'an is a miracle in Arabic language. Miracles are difficult and so is the Qur'an but the Qur'an is simplified by Allah.
A: For We (Allah) simplified* it (Qur'an) in your (Prophet Muhammad's) tongue (Arabic Language) perhaps they may remember (the Message); So (command to Prophet Muhammad) do watch (with patience) for they (disbelievers at the Prophet's time) are watching (for the punishment to happen).
Translation of: Ayat 58 - 59, Surat AlDukhkhan.
* Miracles are extraordinary and very difficult. Being a Miracle yet the Qur'an is simplified. (in Surat AlQamar)
Words: Yassarnahu = We simplified it, BiLisanika = In your tongue, Fartaqib = So do watch - wait.

* The news of destruction either in Life or the Other Life. (in Surat AlAnfal)
Words: Kaththabou = Rejected as lies - Denied as lies, BilHaqq = The Truth, Ja'ahum = When it reached them, Anba' = News, Yastahzaoun = They were making fun of - ridiculing - mocking.

Q: Lack of what does this question indicate: Why did not Allah send a tangible miracle to the Prophet Muhammad similar to the miracles sent to the Prophets Moses and Jesus?
Note: Remember it is mentioned in the Qur'an that the Qur'an is a miracle.
A: And they (disbelievers) said if only a Miracle from His God was sent down to him (Prophet Muhammad) - say (command to Prophet Muhmmad) certainly Allah is Capable of sending down a Miracle but most of them do not realize (it).
Translation of: Ayah 37, Surat AlAn'am. (6:37)

Translation of: Ayah 54, Surat AlKahf.
* To speak in parables - to point out moral lessons.
Note: In a summary of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad. Narrated by Ali Bin Abi Taleb may Allah be pleased with him: Once at night the Prophet Muhammad came to Ali Bin Abi Taleb and his wife Fatimah (the Prophet's beloved daughter) so the Prophet said: Are you (both) not praying (extra prayers at night). So Ali Bin Abi Taleb answered: Our souls are in the Hand of Allah (when we were asleep) so if He wills He can send us back to life (= we were asleep and we did not awake because Allah did not make us awake). So the Prophet Muhammad left when he heard this and he did not say anything. Ali Bin Abi Taleb heard the Prophet while leaving hitting his thigh saying " And man was the most in arguing (= waKana AlInsanu Aksthara Shayen Jadala). Narrated in "Muslim" and "AlBukhari's" books of the Prophet's authenticated sayings. Source: Tafseer Ibn Kastheer, Volume 3, page 132.
Note: Remember the Qur'an says about the Prophet Muhammad: And We did not send you except as a Mercy to all people. Translation of Line 107 in Chapter AlAnbiya' in the Qur'an. This clearly means that the Prophet Muhammad was Allah's Mercy to humanity because he was sent with the Message (Qur'an) to take people out of the darkness of disbelieving into the light of believing.
On the other hand the mentioned Line does not mean, as a Muslim Imam preached on Friday (April 22, 2011), that Allah's Mercy comes down where you are discussing the Prophet's life story and the high morals of the Prophet peace be upon him. (Note: Allah's Mercy can surround where anything of Allah's Religion including the Prophet's high character is discussed. But the mentioned line should not be taken out of context).

Words: Mu'ajizeen = Tried to invalidate - Tried to defeat, Athab rijz = Severe type of punishment, Aleem = Painful.

Shah Wali Allah, an influential "political Sufi" of the eighteenth century, strove in his books and lectures to strip Sufism of its "foreign" influence (e.g. Neoplatonism, Persian mysticism, Hindu Vedantism)...to make it bound to Sunni orthodoxy...

Translation of: Ayah 11, Surat AlImran.
* Rejecting Allah's Miraculous Signs (Qur'anic Verses) makes a person a disbeliever.

Translation of: Ayah 101, Surat AlNahl. (16:101)
* Most of them are ignorant about this matter.

And Allah knows best.) ** = La'alakum Ta'qiloun. So that you may realize and understand it.
