Does the Quran Contain Grammatical Errors?
5:11 One of the criticisms raised by opponents of the Quran is the presence of grammatical and literary errors in certain verses. They ask: How can a book claimed to be a miracle of eloquence fail to follow basic Arabic rules? In this episode of "Islam: Why and How?", we take a scientific look at this critique and analyze the responses of Muslim scholars by examining challenging verses from Surahs An-Nisa, Al-Ma'idah, Al-Hujurat, and Al-A'raf. In this video, you will see how the fundamental difference between "divine revelation" and the "human process of transcription and recitation" holds the key to solving this age-old puzzle.
