You all probably know by now, the meme created by Shamsi (a madkhali salafi who is very arrogant), when he kept asking Muhammad "Where is Mecca?!".
By this, he meant to imply that you cannot decifer where exactly Mecca is from Qur'an alone.
What he does not realize (or he does?), is that it is completely irrelevant if you can find the exact location of Mecca, or any mentioned city really, from Qur'an alone. Because that information does NOT MATTER.
They counter with the argument "But how it does not matter, the prophet lived there, so how do you know he lived there, or where he lived?!?".
These people do not understand that even if the Qur'an FELL DIRECTLY FROM THE SKY in the middle of a desert, and someone just found it there - the veracity of it would STILL BE VALID. Because the Qur'an is not validated by historical persons or towns that can attest where or when exactly the book was revealed -- but the veracity comes from the CONTENT OF THE BOOK itself.
It is the content that 100% verifies that this book is a revelation from God. Because it simply cannot be a product of anyone or anything else.
People who object to this have not studied the Qur'an in depth. Because if they had, they would indeed see that it is the truth.
