"This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favor upon you and chosen Islam as your Deen" (Surah 5:3)
"The Qur'an declares it's from Allah, a direct claim no other book matches with such clarity and proof. It says, ‘This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah' (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:2), and ‘Indeed, it is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds' (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, 26:192). Its words, revealed to an illiterate prophet, carry a power and consistency that back this up.
Jesus (peace be upon him) received the Injeel—‘We gave him the Injeel, in which was guidance and light' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:46)—but the Bible today doesn't claim such direct divine authorship; it's a collection by men. The Qur'an says, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:75). The Qur'an's bold statement, paired with its perfection, shows it's Allah's word, restoring Jesus' true call to worship Him alone."
The idea that the Qur'an is superior because it asserts "This is the Book about which there is no doubt" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:2) is hilariously circular logic. How wonderful to have a book that proves its divinity simply by stating, "Trust me, I'm divine!" Every scripture claims truth; the validity rests on objective, external confirmation, not self-declaration.
1. The Bible's Authority is Confirmed by the Son of God
The opponent claims the Bible is merely a "collection by men" that doesn't claim direct authorship. How utterly ignorant of Christian theology!
2. Perfection is Proven by Prophecy, Not by Claim
The Quran's claim of "perfection" and "completion" (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:3) is easily dismissed.
Christians rely on the converging evidence of the resurrected Christ, Apostolic testimony, and prophetic unity—a far more robust and trustworthy claim to divine authorship than any simple, bold, and unverified assertion.
