أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا
4:82 The consistency of the Holy Qur’ân is undeniable. It was not communicated in a single revelation, but in portions over a period of twenty-three years in highly varied circumstances—from the Holy Prophets (pbuh) solitary reclusion in the cave of Hirâ to the time when he became the sole leader of the whole of Arabia. Nevertheless, its freedom from discrepancies is a recognized fact. There are four ways that inconsistencies and contradictions may arise, not a single one of which occurs in the Qur’ân. The first way is if the Qur’ânic topics, the laws of nature, and human nature, and intelligence contradicted each other; second, if the Qur’ânic topics were mutually contradictory; third, if the prophecies mentioned in the Holy Qur’ân proved to be false; and fourth, if a change of circumstances produced a change of teachings. The Holy Qur’ân is free from all such possible contradictions.
