Al-salam alaykum wa rahmatu Allah wa baarakatuh dear brothers in Islam.

IMPORTANT: There are many anti Islamic claims, such as there was a man or more people who taught the Quran to the Prophet (s.a.w.) or he invited it.

I need irrefutable proofs that nobody taught the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), no man or people taught it to him, nor he invited, but it is a revelation from the Creator.

Also I need refutations to these anti Islam claims:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

The very text of the Glorious Quran is Miraculous, and was impossible to for man to have invented it. 

1-  The varriations in spellings of Noble Words for certain contexts.

2-  The perfect matching of their total numerical values to the Number 19 Miracle, which Allah Almighty called in the Glorious Quran "One of the Greatest Ones (Miracles)".

don't get it. What's mutawiri

Mutawatir is derived from Tawatur, which means:

1-  To repeat a text over and over.

2-  To establish a text with strong backup in authenticity and authority.

Like I mentioned above, there are 9 Sunni Hadith volumes.  The Mutawatir Hadiths are the strongest and most popular among them.  They exist in many, and sometime all of the volumes, and are repeated multiple times in each volume, and are narrated by several or many reliable people.

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.

Take care,

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

I have had in my possession the 6,543 Mutawatir Hadiths that were available for download on the Saudi Arabia's official Hadiths Search Website at: www.al-islam.com (they changed the links around).  I downloaded all of them and kept them.  I slightly used them when I demonstrated that a Hadith was indeed a Mutawatir at:  www.answering-christianity.com/360_joints.htm.

There are 9 Sunni Hadiths Volumes.  They are:

1-  Sahih Bukhari.

2-  Sahih Muslim.

3-  Sunan Al-Tirmithi.

4-  Sunan Al-Nisa'ee.

5-  Sunan Abu Dawud.

6-  Sunan Ibn Maja.

7-  Musnad Ahmed.

8-  Muwattaa' Malik.

9-  Sunan Al-Darmi.

The Hadiths, in general, from these volumes and others, are divided into 5 categories:

1-  The Mutawatir Hadiths - Those are ones that exist multiple times in a single volume and they exist in many or all of the Hadiths' main 9 volumes.  Those are the strongest and the best Hadiths.  They were common knowledge to the people, 1,500 years ago, and the people had successfully passed them down from generation to generation.     
 
For example: They are like the proverbs, wisdoms and sayings that you learned from your parents, teachers, friends and life in general.
 
2-  The Ahaad or Hasan Hadiths - Ahaad is derived from Ahad, which means Absolute One, and the latter is one of Allah Almighty's 99 Divine Attributes.  Hasan means good.  Both refer to the same Hadiths, and they are Hadiths that have complete good, solid and trustworthy people in their chain of narrations, but they were not narrated by multiple sources.
 
A single Hadith is narrated by multiple people.  Regardless of their number, the Hadith is still considered as one Hadith.  Multiple Hadiths or multiple sources mean that more than one Hadith exists, with each Hadith having its own chain of narrators.  An Ahaad or Hasan Hadith is one that is either one or very few of the same Hadiths.
 
An Ahaad or Hasan Hadith is not a Mutawatir one, and thus, it is difficult to use multiple sources to verify its originality.  With Mutawatir Hadiths, we could use them against each others to validate and authenticate each others.  If you have a certain story, and you have more than 20 Hadiths speaking about it, then it is much easier to determine what the original Saying of the Prophet was like.  This is not possible with the Ahaad or Hasan Hadiths.  You have to take them at their face values and trust that they had not been altered by people who came much later, either intentionally or unintentionally.
 
3-  The Da'eef Hadiths - They are the weak Hadiths.  Da'eef means weak in Arabic, and a da'eef Hadith is one that is not Mutawatir and not an Ahaad or Hasan one.  It is one that has questionable narrators in its chain.  They were either unknown, or they were people who had a history of questionable integrity.  The Hadith could be true and it could be false.  It is considered weak and doubtful.  Most Muslim Scholars reject the Da'eef Hadiths.
 
4-  The Maw'qoof Hadiths - They are also called Maq'too'a Hadiths.  Maw'qoof means stopped, and Maq'too'a means "is cut" in Arabic.  These are Hadiths that have gaps or missing links in their chain of narrators.  They too are considered weak and very doubtful.  Most Muslim Scholars reject the Maw'qoof Hadiths.
 
5-  The Maw'doo'a Hadiths - They are ones that are suspicious.  They appear, based on their text and other factors, to be fabrications that were invented on the mouths of the Prophet and/or his companions.  Almost all of the Muslim scholars reject these Hadiths.

There are also the Qudsi Hadiths, and these are divided between the Mutawatir and Ahaad Hadiths.  Qudsi or Qudusi Hadiths are ones that were inspired by the Holy Spirit (روح القدس).  Qudus (قدس) means holy, and Rouh (روح) means spirit in Arabic.

I've always wanted to have a dedicated Online Mutawatir Hadith Search Engine.  This is not to put down the Ahaad (singular) Hadiths.  But since they're the strongest and most reliable among all of the Hadiths, then it would be nice to dedicate a search engine for them.  And this is exactly what I will do with www.MutawatirHadiths.com, insha'Allah.  The 6,543 Hadiths are currently all in Arabic.  The Saudi government hasn't translated much of them into English.  I will therefore do the following, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing):

1-  Build a Search Engine for all of these Hadiths, which are divided among the 9 Sunni mentioned Volumes above.

2-  Since all of them are in Arabic, I will post a link near each returned Hadith, by the Search Engine, that says something like this: "Translate this Hadith into English".

3-  The reader can submit a translation of the Hadith through the form that I will create, and in turn, I will look at it and either approve it, reject it, or modify it.

This insha'Allah will allow everyone who speaks Arabic to help.  I will personally work on the translations on daily basis, insha'Allah, once I get the files and programs online.

Please let me know if you have something helpful to add to this project.  If there is another website out there that already has them, then please let me know.  I searched and couldn't find any.  There are also many brothers and sisters who also inquired about such a website or database on other blogs.  If there is a dedicated website for the Mutawatir Hadiths out there, then I will make sure that they get linked or even routed to, insha'Allah.

The website, www.MutawatirHadiths.com, currently routes you to the website's main page.  Once I get it going, then I'll change it to its dedicated page and section, insha'Allah.

Here is Imam Mahdi in the bible.

There are several End Times prophecies about the Mahdi in the Bible. The following are three of these prophecies:

1. The Mahdi is prophesied in Daniel 12 of the Bible and is referred to as Michael:

At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.  (Daniel 12: 1)  (Source:  www.Bible.cc )


2. The following is a biblical End of Time prophecy about the Mahdi in Isaiah 19: 20 :

It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them.  (Isaiah 19: 20)   (Source:  www.Bible.cc )
 
 
3. Genesis 49: 10 of the Old Testament of the Bible is an End Times prophesy about the arrival of an important person who could be the Mahdi :
 
The scepter will not depart from Judah ... until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his. (Genesis 49: 10)  (Source:  www.Bible.cc )

Also the Dajjal which will come is the same antichrist of the bible.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Adnan,

Thank you for the valuable information akhi.  Jazaka Allah khayr.  I will insha'Allah use it in my rebuttals when I further update the posts in this section with more responses.

Hi Canadian Atheist,

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

As-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh akhi,

Thank you akhi for the links.  I will review them and comment on them, insha'Allah, and add them where appropriate, insha'Allah.

Najd at that time also reffered to an area west of the Euphrates river, which some of the sahaba came from. the prophet has left the are between makkah and medina, like tabuk and najran and khaibar. i could also be refering to the najd province of saudi arabia.
anyway, only god knows for sure

Very interesting poinst, akhi Zulfiqar.  Jazaka Allah khayr.  I will further read on this topic.  I only read about it briefly in the past, but never went into too much depth in it.  I am still puzzled though at "our Najd" though.  I guess if we figure out

1-  Who asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, this question.

2-  Where was the Prophet at that time.

Then it would become much clearer.  But since we had a Najd province in modern-day Saudi Arabia, and there was also a Najd area or province in Iraq, then it's hard to tell like you said.  But I'll read up more about it, insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
