Which Verse made you feel its FROM THE CREAOTR?
Good question...

Let me explain my experience about the Quran.

Surah Ikhlas (Sincerity) is one of the example of Quran being from Allah (swt).

When Christians heard that a man called Muhammad (PBUH) claimed to be a prophet so they came and visited prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in his mosque and asked him to tell them about the concept of God in his religion.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) didn't imediately responded, but waited for Inspiritation from Allah (swt) and then the prophet (PBUH) said to the Christians:

" Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. Al-Quran 112:1-4

The prophet (PBUH) didn't start explaining the concept of God in Islam, but was waiting for revelation from Allah (swt). And he says Say (Qul) in the bigining. Which proves that it was not his words but the words of Allah (swt) which were just pronounced by him and put in his mouth.

When we are asked about something do we say SAY:? No we just start explaining the thing.

Proofs that Quran is from Allah (swt):

1. Quran says it is from Allah:

The revelation of the Book (Quran) is from the Lord of the worlds (Al-Quran 21:2)

2. Challenges:

Produce a Quran like it (17:88)
Produce 10 Suras like it (11:13)
Produce One Sura like it (10:38)
Produce One Sura somewhat comparable to it (2:23)

3. Preserved for all time:

"It is We who have sent down the Zikr (Quran) and surely We will surely preserve it." (15:9)

4. No Contradictions:

"Don't they ponder over the Quran, had it been from anyone besides Allah, they would surely have found therein many contradictions (4:82)

5. No crookedness:

An Arabic Quran without any crookedness...(39:28)
6. Easy to memorize: Made easy to remember (44:58)

7. Prophecies fulfilled:

Victory of Rome over Persia (30:2-4)

Allah makes superpower of those Muslims who believe and do good works (24:55)

Islam will prevail over all other religions (48:28)

And many more...

8. Complete Guidance:

"This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favors upon you and chosen Islam as your Deen. (5:3)

9. Scientific facts:

There are many HARD CORE scientific facts in the Quran which are confirmed by scientists and were discovered recently by modern science and technology.

10: Answer to every question.

Every time they come to you with an argument, We bring you the truth and
the best of explanations. (Qur'an, 25:33)

11: Solution to every single problem.

O mankind! there hath come to you a direction ) from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy. [ Al-Quran 10:57]

"This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than God. It confirms all previous messages( BIBLE and TORAH) , and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible; for it comes from the Lord of the universe." Al-Quran 10:37


These are the few to mention....

From the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, page 71.

The Fifth Day: The Big Bang

The fifth day was going to be huge, so the FSM rose early. Then He said, "Let the waters abound, let the skies fill with birds, let the earth bring forth creatures, each according to its kind. Then let them canoodle and be fruitful." And He saw that it was good, and He was feeling pretty proud of Himself, so He hit the Beer Volcano hard that afternoon.

Later that evening He rolled out of bed and landed hard on the firmament, and this, fair reader, was the true Big Bang. He had a funny feeling and realized in His drunken stupor that He had not only built a factory in Heaven that turned out scantily clad women in transparent high heels, but He'd also created a midget on earth, whom he called Man. And he said "Wow. Even I might have overreached my Noodly Appendage on this one," and not even sure what day it was anymore, He decided to take an extended break from the whole creation gig, and He gave a quick blessing and declared, "From here on out, every Friday is a holiday."

Bhagavad Gita Chaper 8

Verse 5
And he who at the time of death
Meditating on Me alone,
Goes forth, and leaving the body,
Doubtless attains to My Being.

(6)
Whatever he remembers when
Departing from the body, that
Alone is reached by him because
Of his constant thinking of that.

(7)
Therefore, at all times, constantly
Remember Me, and then do fight:
With mind and intellect absorbed
In Me, you thus shall come to Me.

(8)
With mind made steadfast by yoga,
Which turns not to anything else,
To the divine supreme Spirit
He goes, meditating on Him.

(9)
He who meditates on the Seer, the Ruler,
The ancient, subtler than the atom, support Of all,
Whose form is inconceivable and
Radiant like the sun and beyond darkness.

(10)
At the hour of death with his mind unmoving,
Endowed with devotion and with yoga power,
With the prana entering between the eyebrows,
He goes unto the divine supreme Spirit.

(11)
That which Veda-knowers call the Eternal,Which the ascetics, free from passion, enter;
Desiring which they live as brahmacharins,
That path I shall explain unto you briefly.

(12)
Controlling all of the senses,
Confining the mind in the heart,
Drawing pranas into the head,
Doing yogic concentration,

(13)
Uttering OM, the syllable
That is God, and intent on Me,
Departing thus from his body,
He then attains the Goal Supreme.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter sixteen

Verse 1
Courage, purity, firmness in
Knowledge and yoga, almsgiving,
Sense-control, sacrifice, study,
Austerity, and uprightness,

(2) Harmlessness, absence of anger,
Truthfulness, renunciation,
Tranquillity, truth, compassion,
Uncovetousness, gentleness,

(3)
Boldness, forgiveness, fortitude,
Purity, absence of hatred,
Absence of pride–all these belong
To one born for a divine state.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

A true loving God would always desire his own to be like Him, and provide the way for it to be.

godspeed,

freedom

Be still and know that I am with you.


And even greater things than these ye shall do.


Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.


P.S. Great thread, I love these "greatest hits" !! Thank you.
