Fourth Objection

Another objection which is often forwarded by Christians against the divine origin of the Holy Qur’an is that the Holy Qur’an, according to them, does not speak of the motives and requirements of the human spirit.

There are only two things that can be said to be the motives and requirements of the human spirit.

Firm belief and good deeds. The Holy Qur’an is full of descriptions with regard to the above spiritual desires and requirements. Elaborate descriptions are found in almost all the chapters of the Holy Qur’an.

The absence of other things that are assumed by the Protestants to be the motives and requirements of the spirit does not prove any defect in the Holy Qur’an.

The Bible and Qur’an are not considered to be defective for not preventing people from eating meat, something which is considered by the Hindu Pandits to be against the motives and requirerrients of the human spirit, because, in their opinion, slaughtering animals only for eating and physical pleasure is not liked by the spirit.

According to Hindu theologians such an act cannot have divine sanction. They contend that any book containing such ideas cannot be the word of God.
