"Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other than GOD, they would have found in it numerous contradictions." Surah An-Nisa Verse 82
Allah commands them to contemplate about the Qur'an and forbids them from ignoring it, or ignoring its wise meanings and eloquent words. Allah states that there are no inconsistencies, contradictions, conflicting statements or discrepancies in the Qur'an, because it is a revelation from the Most-Wise, Worthy of all praise. Therefore, the Qur'an is the truth coming from the Truth, Allah. This is why Allah said in another Ayah,
أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ
(Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)) Allah then said,
وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ
(Had it been from other than Allah,) meaning, had it been fraudulent and made up, as the ignorant idolators and hypocrites assert in their hearts,
لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَـفاً
(they would surely, have found therein contradictions), discrepancies and inconsistencies,
كَثِيراً
(in abundance). However, this Qur'an is free of shortcomings, and therefore, it is from Allah.
