QURAN IS A PERFECTION OF PLAGIARISM It is interesting also to note that some verses of the Quran have without doubt been taken from poems anterior to Muhammads assumption of the prophetic office, in proof of which two passages in the Sabaa Moallaqât of Imraul Cays etc. are quoted, in which several verses of the Quran occur, such as, The hour has come, and shattered is the moon. 1 It was the custom of the time for poets and orators to hang up their compositions upon the Kaaba; and we know the Seven Moallaqât were so exposed. We are told that Fatima, the Prophets daughter, was one day repeating as she went along, the above verse. Just then she met the daughter of Imraul Cays, who cried out: O thats what your father has taken from one of my fathers poems, and calls it something that has come down to him out of heaven; and the story is commonly told amongst the Arabs until now. – Excerpt from SOURCES OF ISLAM by TISDALL, Pg 9.
