Atheist Objection: Alleged Resemblance Between the Qur’an and the Poetry of Imru’ al-Qais

Written by: Mirza Ahmad Waseem Baig

Introduction​

Some atheists and orientalists claim that certain verses of the Qur’an are copied from the pre-Islamic Arab poet Imru’ al-Qais. They particularly cite a resemblance between Surah al-Qamar, verse 1:

"اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ القَمَرُ"
“The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.”

and a line falsely attributed to Imru’ al-Qais, arguing that this indicates the Qur’an...

Thread 'Refuting Quran Criticisms and Atheist Claims with Clear Evidence'

❖ Qur'anic Challenge and Refutation of Atheist Objections ❖


This article refutes the claims made by atheist writer Anderson Shaw (formerly known as "Maki"), who alleges that the style of the Qur'an is derived from the poetry of Umayyah ibn Abī al-Ṣalt. In light of Quranic evidence, history, and linguistic principles, this article demonstrates that the Qur'an is divine revelation and not a human composition.


❖ The Qur'anic Challenge​


The Qur'an boldly declares:


﴿فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا وَلَن تَفْعَلُوا﴾
“But if you do not—and you will never be able to…”

Thread 'Objections of Orientalists Regarding the Compilation of the Qur'an'

❀ Compilation of the Qur'an: Early Stages​


For Muslims, the compilation of the Qur'an is a proud heritage. The Companions of the Prophet (رضي الله عنهم) made great efforts to preserve the Qur'an. From the very beginning of revelation, the Qur'an was present before the eyes of the Companions, and they were fully aware of how it was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ over a period of twenty-three years.
Hazrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) swore that there was no verse in the Qur'an about which he did not know where and about whom it was...

✿ Introduction​


Orientalist William St. Clair Tisdall raised several objections against the Qur’an in his book, particularly challenging the Islamic belief that the presence of Biblical teachings and stories in the Qur’an is a proof of its divine origin.
Tisdall claimed that the Qur’an’s narratives were not taken from the Torah and the Gospel directly, but rather from Jewish commentaries such as the Talmud and Midrash, which, according to him, are filled with superstitions and myths.

This objection is based on the claim that the Quran declares itself as a book that explains everything. As mentioned in the Quran:


"وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ"

✿ Divine Promise and Practical Preservation of the Qur’an and Hadith​

It is said that the Qur’an is the Book of Allah and its preservation is the responsibility of Allah Himself, as stated in the Qur’an:


إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ‌ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
(Surah al-Ḥijr 15:9)
