The Five Axes of the Holy Quran

The Five Axes of the Holy Quran, by Muhammad al-Ghazali

We Muslims affirm with complete certainty that there is no other text anywhere in the world containing exclusively divine revelation than this Book of which there is no doubt. Only he can truly know God who meditates on the meaning and teachings of the Koran. We will speak here of the themes treated by the Koran and offered to the understanding of men, in order to develop the second proof of the authenticity of the Koran and of the fact that it emanates from God alone. The Book constantly speaks of God, of what is due to Him and of how to make the life of this world a preparation for the hereafter... The verses revealed over almost a quarter of a century vibrate with celebration and of the glorification of God... They forcefully reject the hold of the passions and the superstitions which turn people away from their Lord... So what is there for Muhammad in this Book which some claim is is the author?
