How did prophet Muhammad write the Qur'an?

Answer 1

Muhammad was the prophet and founder of Islam. Most of his early life was spent as a merchant. At age 40, he began to have revelations from Allah that became the basis for the Koran and the foundation of Islam. By 630 he had unified most of Arabia under a single religion. Prophet Muhammad did not write the Quran. Quran is a real God revelation to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel. Refer to related questions for more information.

Answer 2

It is believed that the prophet (SAW) was given the Qur'an over the course of twenty-three years from God (Allah) through the Judeo-Christian archangel Gabriel or (in Islam) Jibril

Some people have other theories

William Montgomery Watt presents the following possibilities for the sources of Qur'an:,

Sometimes he [Muhammad] may have heard the words being spoken to him, but for most part he seems simply to have "found them in his heart". Whatever the precise "manner of revelation"-and several different 'manners' were listed by Muslim scholars- the important point is that the message was not the product of Muhammad's conscious mind. He believed he could easily distinguish between his own thinking and these revelations. His sincerity in this belief must be accepted by the modern historian, for this alone makes credible the development of a great religion. The further question, however, whether the messages came from Muhammad's unconscious, or the collective unconscious functioning in him, or from some divine source, is beyond the competence of the historian.

According to historian Welch,

The really powerful factor in Muḥammad's life and the essential clue to his extraordinary success was his unshakable belief from beginning to end that he had been called by God. A conviction such as this, which, once firmly established, does not admit of the slightest doubt, exercises an incalculable influence on others. The certainty with which he came forward as the executor of God's will gave his words and ordinances an authority that proved finally compelling.
