The French philosopher Alex Lawazon wrote, “Mohamed (Peace be upon him) left to the world a Book that is a miracle of eloquence; it is a holy Book that is repository of lofty manners and teachings. Nothing that has been discovered in modern day knowledge contradicts the fundamental teachings of Islam; in fact, there is complete harmony between the teachings of the Qur’an and the laws of nature.”
(Bil-Qur’an Aslama Haaulaa by ‘Abdul –‘Azeez Sayyid Al-Ghazzaawee Page 47, 48)
“…the rhetoric and rhythm of the Arabic of the Qur’an are so characteristic, so powerful, and so highly emotive, that any version whatsoever is bound by the nature of things to be but a copy of the glittering splendor of the original”
(The Qur’an Interpreted by Arthur Arberry Page 24)
Louis Saydayyo said, “It is important to point out that, despite the many languages that are spoken by the Asia…and of Africa, there is a Book that they all understands and that united them in spite of the diffrenet natures; and the book is Qur’an.
(Taareekh Al-‘Arab Al-‘Aam Page 458)
Dr. Shoombas, a German Orientalist, said, “Perhaps you will be amazed to hear this confession from a European such as myself. But I cannot help myself: I have studied the Qur’an myself and have found in it great eloquence and profoundly wise teachings, such as I have never come across throughout my entire life. One line from the Qur’an is worth volumes. Without a doubt, therefore this Qur’an is the greatest miracle that Mohamed (Peace be upon him) came with from his Lord."
(Bil-Qur’an Aslama Haaulaa by ‘Abdul –‘Azeez Sayyid Al-Ghazzaawee Page 49)
"...the Meccans still demanded of him a miracle, and with remarkable boldness and self confidence Mohammad (Peace be upon him)appealed as a supreme confirmation of his mission to the Koran itself. Like all Arabs they were the connoisseurs of language and rhetoric. Well, then if the Koran were his own composition other men could rival it. Let them produce ten verses like it. If they could not (and it is obvious that they could not), then let them accept the Koran as an outstanding evident miracle

The French scholar Count Henri D. Castarey wrote, "It boggles the mind to contemplate how those Verses (of the Qur’an) could have come from an illiterate man. The entire population of the East agrees that the human mind is incapable of producing Verses that cam match either its wordings or meanings."
(Al-Qur’an Al-Kareem Min Mandhoor Gharbee by Dr. ‘Imadud-Deen Khaleel Page 18)
"The above observation makes the hypothesis advanced by those who see Muhammad as the author of the Qur'an untenable. How could a man, from being illiterate, become the most important author, in terms of literary merits, in the whole of Arabic literature? How could he then pronounce truths of a scientific nature that no other human being could possibly have developed at that time, and all this without once making the slightest error in his pronouncement on the subject?"
("The Bible, the Qur'an and Science" by Dr. Maurice Bucaille Page 125)
James Matchins said, “Perhaps no book is read more widely throughout the world than the Qur’an; at any rate, it is surely the easiest to memorize, and has more of an impact than any other book on the day-to-day lives of those who believe in it. Among its qualities is that no sooner do it’s Versus come into contact with man’s heart than he feels a sense of spirituality, a sense that is accompanied by an increase of Faith.”
(Al-Qur’an Al-Kareem Min Mandhoor Gharbee by Dr. ‘Imadud-Deen Khaleel Page 18)
The Orientalist Sail said, “The style of the Qur’an is truly beautiful…especially when it discuses the Greatness and Majesty of Allah. One of the most amazing qualities of the Qur’an is that it enraptures the heart of any person who listens to it being recited, regardless of whether that person believes on it or rejects it.”
(Al-Qur’an Al-Kareem Min Mandhoor Gharbee by Dr. ‘Imadud-Deen Khaleel Page 61)
