Root: ر ى ب
Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'aan: a) Total occurrences: 36 b) No of constructions: 15 The basic perception/concept infolded in this Root is the suspicious state of mind about something. It reflects a state of perception when one is uncertain and double or conflict minded about the exact nature, probability or likelihood of a thing; it refers when someone doubts the truth or validity of something/statement/fact. It refers to a confused and perplexed state of mind which causes disquiet, psychological disturbance, disconcert and agitation of mind. It includes any whimsical, conjectural, illusory and conflicting statement/matter since it causes disconcert.
This is that Book within which there is absolutely no suspicious/conjectural/hearsay/whimsical/ vague/un-certain/perplexing/disconcerting/illusory matter/conflicting statement [this feature makes it the Unique Book, the only infinitely reliable Book since it is sent by the Sustainer Lord of Worlds-10:37;32:02]. [Refer 2:02] Grand Qur'aan has been introduced as a Book. A Book contains written material; giving information, data, physical facts, narration of facts, events and conduct of the past/generations; knowledge; injunctions/instructions; procedural code, prescription of lawful and unlawful matter or conduct; segregates or demarcates one thing from another, describes the relationship of things and elaborates the cause and effect of events/rise and fall; and it serves as a Guide giving permanent values and the road map for those seeking the destination.
Grand Qur'aan has been introduced as that Book
which does not contain something that could be termed as suffering from
Grand Qur'aan, at the very outset, has disclosed in a subtle manner that
this is the only Book
wherein the entire matter is void of any
Why the Grand Qur'aan was introduced by negating the presence of any suspicious/ conjectural matter in it? The purpose and motive, for the majority of the people, in the desire to read a book is to gain knowledge and find the truth. People in the pursuit of truth tend to read the books. And a minority reads a book with the intention of knowing and for being guided to the destination. The Grand Qur'aan satisfies and promises the truth seeker that the Book in his hand will meet his motive and intentions of getting knowledge and knowledge alone since there is nothing conjectural or such material which is the result of some psychological disturbance. Grand Qur'aan in its very first line/sentence has created a liability/obligation and a challenge upon the person who opened the Book. The objective/purpose/motive of reading a book is finding the truth. A truth seeker is never biased, prejudiced and whimsical. He is left with no option but to read the Book and accept its contents or venture to prove them wrong. Any person claiming himself as truth seeker would prove himself as amongst those who are not truthful if he knows about this claim/introduction of Qur'aan and yet refuses to read it for accepting or rebutting it. Grand Qur'aan, from the first day of its introduction to humanity till date, is the ONLY Book which has the tallest claim that its contents are void of any suspicious/conjectural/doubtful matter. This claim in itself assumes the position of a strong evidence/argument for creating an inclination to accept and believe in it since none from countless books had the courage and confidence to have ever claimed its contents as beyond shadow of suspicion. None of the books, except Grand Qur'aan has ever claimed its contents as absolute and proven fact.
Grand Qur'aan is such a Book that The Person who first introduced and
recited it before the people did not claim to be its author/compiler but
informed the people that it has been sent/revealed upon him by his and
the Sustainer Lord of worlds. The first suspicion/ And if some amongst you are caught in a state of suspicion/perplexity regarding The Book which We have gradually sent upon Our Sincere Servant [that he has authored/compiled it-10:38;11:13,35; 32:03; 46:08]

And when Our manifest/explicit communications [Aa'yaat of Qur'aan] are told to them word by word,
those amongst them who do not believe/look for meeting with Us, respond "You [Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] come to us with some readable material/book other than this Qur'aan or you change this Qur'aan"
You, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam], answer them, "It is not befitting for me that I should change/amend this Qur'aan with something of my perception/intellect. I do not follow/act on anything except what is revealed to me [in this Grand Qur'aan]" [Refer 10:15]
A group of people have apparently said two
things but the objective is the same; "Bring some qur'aan/reading
material-book other than this Qur'aan" or "amend/change this Qur'aan". The purpose/objective/end
result is the same, amend and change this Qur'aan.
Allah forbids, if the
Messenger
صلى الله عليه وسلم
had agreed to change/amend the Qur'aan,
what faculty could have helped him for
doing it? The answer of the Last Messenger
has clarified what a group of people was demanding from him. Any person
can amend/change the matter/substance described in a book by applying
A man has visible identification, his apparent body i.e. بَشَرٌ.
His person is invisible/hidden in the
thoughts and
perceptions/intellect/wisdom/psyche/habits/understanding/beliefs stored
in the memory and comprehensively and precisely infolded in the Arabic
words
For doing anything including amending/changing the Book, Qur'aan the Last Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] had to retrieve data/information/knowledge from his brain and "confront/meet" it in his chest before he could utter the amended version or write it with his right hand. Today we know that for saying words or doing an act we have to cut/retrieve data/knowledge from the memory of the brain and confront/meet it. Deliberately and consciously, nothing can be said or done unless data is earlier available in the memory of the brain and it could be retrieved. The Last Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] categorically and emphatically turned down the desire for saying something from his own perception/knowledge/understanding and instead emphasized that all his sayings and actions are restricted to the following of what has been revealed in the Book, Qur'aan. He was asked to confront people with a simple known and undeniable fact:
You, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam], tell them "Had it been the will of Allah, I would not have recited word by word to you people the Qur'aan and nor He would have made it known to you people; o since as you people know indeed I have lived a lifetime amongst you before this Qur'aan. Is it [your demand] for the reason that you people do not ponder/reflect/differentiate?" [in my past life habit in which I never presented treatises/scholarly discourses/talks] [10:16] What was particular and apparent in the earlier life of the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] before he started reciting and giving/distributing to people in writing the Aa'yaat of the Book-Grand Qur'aan which he is asking his people to reflect for noticing the evident difference? How and why should he draft/write a book for replacing the Qur'aan and how could there be even slightest possibility or cause of entertaining any confusion or perplexity in admitting his word that the Book he is now reciting to them is not based on his personal research, perceptions and thoughts or is his compilation since the evident fact of his life before Grand Qur'aan was this: o And for that We have sent to you the Book. o And no one refuses to acknowledge our verses except those who deliberately/knowingly disbelieve. [Refer 29:47]
And/whereas
in times
BEFORE this
What people were demanding from the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] was to author a book or replace the Qur'aan with an other book, deceptively implying that Qur'aan too was written and authored by him as they used to argue and propound in public that he has himself compiled and written the Book but is attributing to Allah that this is the word/Book from Him. There are three types of people who cannot resist delivering talks and lectures and reciting their thoughts to people. They are poets, "majnoon" and prognosticators. Allah in His Grace has vehemently emphasized that the Last Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] was not a poet, nor Majnoon and nor a prognosticator. Though none of his contemporaries had ever alleged him to be a "soothsayer, prognosticator" but Allah has informed the whole humanity that by His Grace he was not a "كَاهِنٍ". [All prophecies attributed to him are the conjectural fabrications by people. He gave only authentic news of the past and future recorded for ever in the Grand Qur'aan] He was hitherto, before the revelation of Grand Qur'aan, not in the habit of reciting ANY book or writing that. It does not mean nor does it allow anyone to infer that he could not read or write a book. Habit and capability to do a thing are two different things. If a man does not do a certain act, it does not reflect that he cannot do it or is incapable of doing that. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the world who have never in their life delivered a lecture/sermon and written a book but they cannot be assumed to be illiterate, incapable of reciting/reading or writing. Before the the last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم started communicating/telling the contents of Grand Qur'aan he was known and reputed as a person who never read books to people nor authored/wrote any book for public consumption. Had he been such a person who used to read and write books for people then there was a possibility of arousal of suspicion amongst vanity talkers and could have given them a plausible argument/stand that the Qur'aan is also written or perceived by him. Since his whole life was before people, therefore, there was not even the remotest possibility that any rational being could suspect the Qur'aan to be his personal effort/compilation. For people, who wish to retain a rational posture in the public eye, no option was left but not to express any suspicion about the source of the verses being narrated to them. Those very people who were demanding authoring a book other than Qur'aan and simultaneously propounding the Book to have been authored by the Last Messenger took a 180 degree turn: And they said, "Why have not unprecedented demonstrative convincing signs been sent to him from his Sustainer Lord?" [Refer 29:48]
Is it not suffices them that [it is in itself an unprecedented sign for them since many generations] We have sent to you the Book, Grand Qur'aan which is read to them word by word? [Refer 29:51] It is common with the majority of people in time and space that they want to evade the revealed Book by ingenuity or guile. Their intentions were disclosed: o And their purpose/resolve/attempt was to try you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] about the one, Grand Qur'aan, which We have sent to you so that you say something other than the Qur'aan [which they could then make] attributable to Us; And [if you had obliged them with saying something from your own perception other than Qur'aan] in that case they would certainly have made you a fast friend. [17:73]
And if We had not kept you firm in your resolve, the deceptive move/attempt was that you may oblige them a little. [17:74]
Therefore you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] do not listen/oblige to those who deny. Their desire is that you be little obliging/soft and in response they would apparently/deceptively compromise. [Refer 68:08-09] It is thus plainly evident that a group of people did not have any genuine suspicion about the source of the Book but wanted that something other than the Qur'aan be said by the Last Messenger. The people who propound suspicion, even about the apparent facts evident and manifest like the daybreak, do not in fact have any ambiguity in their minds but just pretend suspicious to find an excuse for denying it for the satisfaction and deception of their followers/under influence people. The Last Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] disappointed them. Being frustrated in not getting what they wanted they made it an excuse for denying the Qur'aan by telling their people:
And those who deliberately refused to acknowledge told people, "This Qur'aan is indeed nothing but a lie which he has forged/fabricated and others have helped and assisted him in compiling it" o For reason, indeed they have now stooped low/adopted/come to an attitude/course of impropriety/ slander and falsehood.
And they further said to people, "These are tales of ancients which he has written down and for purpose because these are dictated to him off and on [morning and evening]" [25:04-05] This reflects the psyche of those who deliberately do not wish to accept the truth. The very people who were interested and insisting that the Last Messenger should tell them something other than the Quran have taken a U turn after being dismayed by the non-obliging response of the Messenger. They have started telling people on the back of the Messenger that whatever he is stating is but the tales of the ancients which he has written down and others have also helped him since they also dictate him such stories off and on. But they are quite conscious of the weakness of their slander and are afraid that it may not work on majority of people who will listen the substance and matter of the Book and will be able to judge that the Book is not just the myths of the past but a hard fact and reality. Therefore the influential people kept attempting to spread confusion amongst people by taking different stances and expressing their opinions:
"No, they tell people, "{what he is stating} These are muddled dreams; no perhaps, actually he has forged it; no, perhaps not forged; actually he is a poet. Therefore {if he is a messenger} let him bring us a miracle/sign as were sent with earlier messengers" {Refer 21:05}
"They say, "{He is} A poet! We wait for disquieting time for him" {Refer 52:30} They tell people one thing and in the second breath negate the same. And in the end try to convey to people that whatever is being stated by the Last Messenger could at best be considered as what is usually said by poets not worthy of taking much seriously since he is a poet. {And imagine the magnitude of tragedy that some of the writers consider poetry of non believer traditionalist poets of those days as a major tool to understand Grand Quran} For that type of people who are so irrational that neither they listen to any argument nor rebut but keep regurgitating what they had earlier slandered only this could be the answer:
"Do they say, "He {sincere servant upon whom the Book has been sent} has drafted/compiled/fabricated/forged it from his own perception/knowledge/understanding?
Tell them, "If I have compiled/drafted the Quran {attributing it to Allah} then on me is my crime and I am absolved what crimes you people commit" {Refer 11:35} We have seen that the critics/refuters of Grand Quran did not point out any رَيْبَ, suspicious substance/matter in the Book and instead kept slandering different unsubstantiated false and malicious sayings. The behavior and utterances of the critics/refuters of Grand Quran explains the concept and meaning of "رَيْبَ" that it is coupled with a psychological phenomenon which creates disquiet and disturbance of mind. The duty of the Allah's Messenger is to deliver the Book to the people. His posterity may never have "رَيْب" regarding every word of the Book that not a single particle and vowel is the contribution of the Last Messenger; and that he never told verbally or in writing anything other than Quran to anyone; it has vividly been clarified in the Book itself:
"What! Do they say, "He {sincere servant upon whom the Book has been sent} has drafted/ compiled/ fabricated/forged/slandered upon Allah?". {They slander} Because if Allah had so willed he could have placed seal/cover over your heart {that would have disabled you to state or write anything}" {Refer 42:24} It is a matter of common perception that for fabricating a statement one has to employ the data and information stored by that point of time in his memory of the mind and to state it before people he has to retrieve it from memory into the chest/heart. It seems in the ordinary life that we say something from the mind directly through the tongue. But that is not the truth. We speak to people through the chest. Although it seems to happen without time lag but there is a process involved in the thought converting to a word of a language. Retrieval of data/information/fabricated story into the chest will result in creation of a column of air pressure which is moved towards the vocal folds. Air is moved out of the lungs and towards the vocal folds by coordinated action of the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, chest muscles, and rib cage. Sound is produced when aerodynamic phenomena cause vocal cord to vibrate rapidly in a sequence of vibratory cycles. This is a buzzy sound which is articulated by the tongue and lips to produce and eject/throw out sound shaped in recognizable words of a language. What has been said to the Last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he was earlier asked to explain the same thing to people, when they wanted him to amend/change the Quran with his own knowledge and perception {Refer 10:15}, in these words:
Say, "Had it been the will of Allah, I would not have recited to you the Quran" {Refer 10:16} And then the will of Allah has been disclosed/explained as to why the Messenger recited the Book:
"And Allah blots out the scum/fabricated/concocted/conjectural matter and establishes the fact/proven reality by His words. Certainly Allah is Knower of what is held by chests" {Refer 42:24}
We know that in the seventh century AD the Last
Messenger
صلى الله عليه وسلم
did not have the facility of audio and video recordings. He could
communicate the words of Allah only through oral recitation or by giving
it in writing. Allah has confirmed that had he even thought in his heart
of saying/uttering from mouth anything other than the Book, Quran Allah
could seal/cover the heart so that nothing could be brought out from it
for conveying it to anyone.
And even if Quran had been recited merely orally
to the people present at that point of time and was passed to the
posterity as a word of chest from generation to generation the people of
later times could have a genuine
"رَيْب",
suspicion, confusion, and psychological disquiet in believing
whether or not these were the words uttered by the pious tongue and lips
of their Lord the Last Messenger
صلى الله عليه وسلم
and to believe them as the words/
Certainly this Quran is stated/uttered by the Exalted Messenger.
And this is certainly not the word/statement uttered by a poet; yet few are those who accept/acknowledge.
And certainly this is not the word/statement uttered by a prognosticator/clairvoyant; yet few are those who remember. This Book has been sent by the Sustainer Lord of Worlds.
And if he had fabricated/written in Our name some statements/sayings, We would have taken it from his right hand; Afterwards We would have cut his hand's main nerve/muscle/artery" {Refer 69:40-46}
The fabricated material can be conveyed to
other people either orally or by writing it.
One can be forced/stopped from orally
communicating the fabricated thoughts by sealing his heart which would
disable him to convey that thought to others and if he has written it
then first the written material would be taken away from his hand and
then after that he could be incapacitated to write in future by
disabling his hand to loose the power of writing anything. The particle
Since Grand Quran is for all the humanity for all the times to come and is the Guide in time and space, therefore, it has placed great emphasis on the clarification of the point that neither in its content/substance there is anything that could be suspected as untrue, conjectural, imaginative nor that anything was the contribution of the knowledge and perception of the person who was assigned the responsibility and duty of delivering it to the humanity, Last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم
"This is the Book, within it is no suspicious matter/statement; this is guide for righteous people" {Refer 2:02}
"Certainly the One Who has assigned
you the Quran shall surely return {revive} you honorably to the {promised} place
{
Tell people, "My Sustainer Lord knows
who has come along with
And you were not in the hope/pursuit that the Book be sent to you; but sending of the Book is a blessing from your Sustainer Lord" {Refer 28:86}
"And in the same manner We have communicated you the essence of Our Will/Decision/Command. And you were not pursuing/wishing as to what the Book is or acknowledging it" {Refer 42:52} It has been clarified, in an unambiguous, plain and simple manner that the Last Messenger was neither in the hope nor was pursuing to get the Book from his Sustainer Lord. The sending of the Book, Grand Qur'aan was not the sequel of the desire or wish or effort of Last Messenger. The point has been vividly clarified:
