The ultimate proof that the Quran is not from Satan lies in its core command: 'And when you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed' (16:98). No satanic book would command its readers to seek protection from its own author. This internal logical consistency is a powerful argument for its divine source, a point subtly underscored by classical commentators.
