It is the word of God, revealed to him as the last of a long line of prophets and messengers who all brought the same core message: worship God alone, and live righteously by His guidance. Earlier prophets also received scriptures, among them the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David and the Gospel of Jesus, and the Quran confirms that these came from the same source. The Quran invites its readers to examine it carefully, pointing out that a book from anyone other than God would contain many contradictions. That challenge, along with its preservation and its content, is what Muslims present as evidence of its origin. The short book “Who Wrote the Quran?” lays out the argument in full.
