For twenty-three years, God’s words (the Qur’an) were truly put into Muhammad’s mouth. Muhammad was not the “author” of the Qur’an. The Qur’an was dictated to him by Angel Gabriel who asked Muhammad to simply repeat the words of the Qur’an as he heard them. These words were then committed to memory and to writing by those who hear them during Muhammad’s life time and under his supervision.
Was it a coincidence that the Prophet “like unto Moses” from the “brethren” of the Israelites (i.e. from the Ishmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God (as in Deuteronomy 18:18-20)? Was it also a coincidence the “Paraclete” that Jesus foretold to come after him was described as one who “shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak…“(John 16:13)?
Was it another coincidence that Isaiah tied between the messenger connected with Ke’dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11)? More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah “for with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11)? This latter verse correctly describes the “stammering lips” of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur’an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 which speaks of the same thing.

There the prophecy distinctly mentions that
the coming prophet who would be like Moses, must arise NOT from the
‘children of Israel’ or from ‘among themselves’, but from among their
brethren
