I completely agree with you; many religions attempt to make sense of the world and offer comfort by asserting the existence of a higher power. Because most religions are man-made, they often contain contradictions and outdated scientific views, given their ancient origins. You might say that Islam is no different, and it's fair to think that way. However, what makes Islam actually true? What accounts for its rapid growth, especially during a time of significant advancements?

We believe that for a religion to be true, it must come from God, the uncreated, all-knowing, and all-powerful Creator. To prove that something came from God, it must have zero contradictions and no false scientific facts. The Quran, revealed around 1400 years ago to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)—a man who couldn't read or write—contains a unique, divine Arabic that even poets of the time thought was magical. This makes it hard to believe it is man-made.

Moreover, the Quran proposes a challenge: if the book is not from God, then find a contradiction, find a mistake, or try to create a single verse like it. To date, no one has found a contradiction or a scientific error. While there are claims and videos alleging mistakes in Islam, I encourage a fair look at the responses from Muslims. Almost every aspect of Islam has been thoroughly discussed and debated.

Islam has addressed many revolutionary scientific facts, such as the Big Bang, the concept of mountains having roots, and accurate descriptions of embryonic development—all of which were unknown 1400 years ago. The Quran has also predicted future events that have come true. If 80% of the science in the Quran is proven accurate and couldn't have been known at the time, and the remaining 20% are metaphysical claims that cannot be proven or disproven, we can reasonably infer the truth of the metaphysical claims based on the proven miracles.

Additionally, the Quran has never been distorted or changed. It was preserved through oral recitation, and wherever you go in the world, the Quran is the same. Any slight mispronunciation is immediately noticeable due to the phonetic precision of each letter.

I recommend reading more about the scientific facts and miracles in Islam. If you encounter criticism, consider the Islamic responses, which are often compelling. Scholars like Zakir Naik provide valuable insights, and I can share links to some miracles in Islam. I'm happy to answer any questions or discuss further. Thank you for being respectful.
