Is the Quran God’s Word? – Lecture (Part 1)

Dr Zakir Naik Lecture By,Many people have a misconception that Islam is a new religion that came in to existence 1400 and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the founder of this religion. In fact, Islam is there since time immemorial, since man set foot on this earth. And Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is not the founder of this religion, but he is the last and final messenger of Allah (swt), of Almighty God, to whom was revealed, last and final message, the Glorious Qur’an. All the messengers that came before the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), they were only sent for a particular group of people and this message was supposed to be followed only by that group of people for a limited time period. Since all the other revelations were meant only for a particular group of people and was meant for a particular time period, the miracles performed by the earlier messengers, by the earlier Prophets, for example the parting of the sea, giving life to the dead, it satisfied the people of that time but today we cannot go back in time to examine these miracles, to verify these miracles.
