Ring composition is featured in ancient literature that pre-dates the Qur’an, so can it really be used as an argument for the divine origins of the Qur’an?
The feature of ring composition represents an argument for the divine origins of the Qur’an when we consider the unique nature of its revelation:
i. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) could not read or write, so it’s a lot more difficult to plan such a structure when all you have to go on is memory (the Qur’an was revealed orally of course).
ii. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not a poet nor did he have any literary reputation, and yet the Qur’an has this remarkable structure. How can a person with little to no experience or skill in poetry/literature achieve such sophistication?
iii. The verses of the Qur’an were not revealed in sequential order like with conventional texts. Surah al-Baqarah, the example covered in the book, was revealed over a period of many years with its verses interspaced with the revelation of verses from other chapters. Unlike conventional texts this makes implementing such a structure much more difficult.
iv. Many verses of the Qur’an are linked to questions and events that occurred unexpectedly, so unless a person can predict the future, how could a human being plan the verses ahead of time when they were not in his control? Other texts such as the Bible were written by multiple authors long after Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) which would make planning such a structure much easier.
v. The Qur’an did not undergo any editorial process, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would fix the positions of the new verses as soon as they were revealed to him. With each new verse, again which were tied to external questions and events that were outside of his control, he would not go off and review what had been previously revealed and see where he can fit them in order to maintain this ring structure. So spontaneous revelation was immediately followed by the placement of the verse into the Qur’an, and once placed it was fixed with no opportunity for later editing. Other texts such as the Bible show evidence of multiple authors and several stages of editing, again making is much easier to achieve such a structure.
In summary, it is the unique circumstances of the revelation of the Qur’an that make its ring structure a strong argument for its divine origin.
The book mentions that Prophets like Abraham, Moses and Jesus are mentioned in the Qur’an. Is Prophet Muhammad mentioned in religious scriptures other than the Qur’an?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is foretold in Scriptures such as the Jewish Old Testament and Christian New Testament. Please refer to this article which covers this subject in more detail.
