The Quran's falsification test proves its divine origin because it accurately predicts events, such as Abu Lahab's fate.

The concept of the falsification test is used by some Muslim apologists to assert the Quran's divine origin, suggesting that if a claim can be proven false, then it is not true. One example provided is Surah Abu Lahab, which states that Muhammad's uncle would die as an unbeliever. However, this test can be turned against the Quran itself. If Abu Lahab had converted to Islam, it would have disproven Muhammad's claim, yet he did not. This suggests that the Quran's predictions are not infallible. Moreover, the Quran contains verses that threaten severe consequences for those who would dare to claim inspiration or reveal something contrary to its teachings. These verses imply that anyone who challenges the Quran or its prophet faces dire punishment. This creates a dilemma: if the Quran is truly the word of God, why does it need to threaten apostates and those who would challenge it? This indicates a level of insecurity in its claims. Additionally, the case of Abdullah ibn Sa’d ibn Abi Sarh, who was allowed to alter the Quran, raises further questions. If the Quran is the perfect word of God, how could a scribe change it? This scenario not only contradicts the idea of divine preservation but also suggests that the Quran may not be as infallible as claimed. Thus, the falsification test can indeed be used to argue against the Quran's divine origin, revealing inconsistencies and challenges to Muhammad's prophethood.
