It is authoritative. Whoever suggested it might not
be? You have any idea what authoritative means?

  CXII. THE CHAPTER OF UNITY (E. H. Palmer's translation)
                                           
  IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.                        
  Say, 'He is God alone!                                                    
  God the Eternal!                                                          
  He begets not and is not begotten!                                        
  Nor is there like unto Him any one!'

This is a statement of the One eternal God. There is 
only one God, just as the Holy Mother Church teaches.
You have a problem with this, do you, Tilly? The Koran,
just like the Bible, contains the infallible truth.

  "We gave Moses the Book and we followed him up with
   other apostles, and we gave Jesus the son of Mary
   manifest signs and aided him with the Holy Spirit."

  "When the angel said, 'O Mary! verily, God gives thee the
   glad tidings of a Word from Him; his name shall be the
   Messiah Jesus the son of Mary, regarded in this world and
   the next and of those whose place is nigh to God. And he
   shall speak to people in his cradle, and when grown up,
   and shall be among the righteous.' She said, 'Lord! how
   can have a son, when man has not yet touched me?' He said,
   'Thus God creates what He pleaseth. When He decrees a
   matter He only says BE and it is...."

says Messiah and explains the virgin birth.

  "And we followed up the footsteps of these (prophets) with
   Jesus the son of Mary, confirming that which was before
   him and the law, and we brought him the gospel, wherein is
   guidance and light, verifying what was before it of the
   law, and a guidance and an admonition unto those who fear."

  "When God said, 'O Jesus! I will make Thee die and take Thee
   up again to me and will clear thee of those who misbelieve,
   and will make those who follow thee above those who
   misbelieve, at the day of judgment, then to me is your
   return."

says "die and take Thee up again". Understand? Or do you
misbelieve?
