But questioning the Quran is permissible. As in you need to ask and research as to why a particular ayah(verse) was revealed, when,where,what it actually means etc.If you were to take the literal meaning of the Quran only it would be disastrous! That's why we got what we call Thafseers translated roughly to mean explanations of the Quran. Now the problem lies with whose translations are more reliable. Cos you will have each and every sect in Islam claiming their's to be the truth. So again you need to question the explanations themselves. All in all questioning and seeking knowledge of the Quran is in fact obligatory upon Muslims.
However what is not a part of Islam is a Muslim claiming the Quran is not the speech of God in itself and believing that the even the Quran in it's pure form, is the works of Muhammed(Peace be Upon Him) and his companions, which it is not.
