Study Notes

Author Identification Process

Examining all potential authors of the Qur'an to determine its author.
Employing an "elimination process" to discount implausible authors based on available evidence.
Aiming to deduce the true author by systematically ruling out unlikely candidates.

Methodology Outline

The process involves two main considerations:
- The recording and perfect preservation of the Qur'an.
- The source or authority from which the Qur'an derives its content.

Key Considerations

Evidence plays a critical role in assessing the validity of each potential author.
The preservation of the Qur'an is highlighted as a significant factor in establishing its authenticity.
Establishing authority connects the text to either a divine source or an identified human author.
