The claim
The user finds the previous arguments (literary challenge, fulfilled prophecies) unconvincing and asks for other evidence that could lead them to believe in the truth of Islam.
Evidence from the text
(5)The moon split into two visible parts during the Prophet’s lifetime, witnessed by many companions and recorded as a physical miracle that cannot be explained by natural causes.
أَنَّ الْقَمَرَ، انْشَقَّ فِي زَمَانِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:The moon was split into two parts during the lifetime of the Prophet
A man who apostatized and claimed the Prophet ﷺ only knew what he wrote was buried, but the earth repeatedly rejected his body, forcing the people to leave it exposed—a tangible sign of divine displeasure and protection of the revelation.
قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ نَصْرَانِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ وَقَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ، فَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَعَادَ نَصْرَانِيًّا فَكَانَ يَقُولُ مَا يَدْرِي مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبْتُ لَهُ، فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ فَدَفَنُوهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ لَفَظَتْهُ الأَرْضُ فَقَالُوا هَذَا فِعْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، لَمَّا هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ نَبَشُوا عَنْ صَاحِبِنَا. فَأَلْقُوهُ فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ فَأَعْمَقُوا، فَأَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ لَفَظَتْهُ الأَرْضُ، فَقَالُوا هَذَا فِعْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ نَبَشُوا عَنْ صَاحِبِنَا لَمَّا هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ. فَأَلْقَوْهُ فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ، وَأَعْمَقُوا لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوا، فَأَصْبَحَ قَدْ لَفَظَتْهُ الأَرْضُ، فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَأَلْقَوْهُ.
Narrated Anas:There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-`Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them." They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground)
While a man recited Surah al-Kahf, a cloud of tranquility (sakinah) descended upon him, and the Prophet ﷺ confirmed it was a divine presence accompanying the Qur’an.
قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ وَإِلَى جَانِبِهِ حِصَانٌ مَرْبُوطٌ بِشَطَنَيْنِ فَتَغَشَّتْهُ سَحَابَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَدْنُو وَتَدْنُو وَجَعَلَ فَرَسُهُ يَنْفِرُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ " تِلْكَ السَّكِينَةُ تَنَزَّلَتْ بِالْقُرْآنِ ".
Narrated Al-Bara':A man was reciting Surat Al-Kahf and his horse was tied with two ropes beside him. A cloud came down and spread over that man, and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping (as if afraid of something). When it was morning, the man came to the Prophet, and told him of that experience. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That was As-Sakina (tranquility) which descended because of (the recitation of) the Qur'an
The Qur’an directs attention to signs within human beings themselves—their own creation, psychology, and biology—as evidence of a Creator, an argument accessible to anyone through self-reflection.
وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
And in yourselves. Then will you not see?
The Prophet ﷺ never concealed any part of the revelation, as confirmed by his wife Aisha, and the Qur’an itself commands him to deliver everything, establishing his complete honesty and trustworthiness.
قَالَتْ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صلى الله عليه وسلم كَتَمَ شَيْئًا وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْوَحْىِ، فَلاَ تُصَدِّقْهُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ}
Narrated `Aisha:Whoever tells you that the Prophet (ﷺ) concealed something of the Divine Inspiration, do not believe him, for Allah said: 'O Apostle Muhammad! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord, and if you do it not, then you have not conveyed His Message
The Quranic view
The Qur’anic vision presents multiple, independent lines of evidence for its divine origin. God shows His signs in the universe and within human beings so that truth becomes clear ; the very creation of each person is a sign worth contemplating . Alongside these rational and observational proofs, God has supported His messengers with tangible miracles witnessed by contemporaries—such as the splitting of the moon and the earth’s rejection of a hypocrite’s body —as well as spiritual phenomena like the descent of tranquility upon those who recite His book . The Prophet ﷺ himself was known for his integrity and never hid any part of the message , removing any doubt about human interpolation. These diverse forms of evidence—physical, historical, personal, and moral—are meant to address different types of seekers and to provide cumulative certainty.
Summary
The user’s dissatisfaction with earlier arguments is understandable, but Islam offers a range of evidence beyond literary challenge and prophecy. The witnessed miracle of the moon’s splitting , the supernatural rejection of a body , the descent of divine tranquility , and the call to examine one’s own existence all provide concrete, testable grounds for belief. When combined with the Prophet’s proven honesty , these signs form a coherent case that invites sincere investigation rather than blind acceptance.
