Divine vs Man-made

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from Chapter 4 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:

82. Afala yatadabbaroona alqur-ana walaw kana min AAindi ghayri Allahi lawajadoo feehi ikhtilafan katheeran

4:82. Do they not then ponder over the Qur’aan? And had it been from anybody other than Allah, they would certainly find in it many a contradiction.⁵⁴

---

54. This Verse gives the criterion to distinguish a divine book from a non-divine one. In other words, it makes a divine statement to the effect that any book authored by a man, howsoever learned he may be, is bound to contain errors.
