1. God
Revealed it
"Those who
disbelieve in the Reminder when it comes unto them (are
guilty), for indeed it is an unassailable Scripture.
Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or behind it. (It
is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise" (Qur’an
41:41-42).
"Praise be to
Allah* Who has revealed the Scripture unto His slave, and has
not placed therein any crookedness (but has made it)
straight" (Qur’an 18:1-2).
"Allah has (now)
revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent" (Qur’an
39:23).
"A Qur’an in
Arabic, containing no crookedness" (Q 39:28).
2. God
Preserves it
God has promised to always
preserve His book. He says:
"Surely We, even
We, revealed the Reminder [the Qur’an], and We verily are
it’s Guardian." (Qur’an 15:9)
The Qur’an contains no
additions. It
remains today letter for
letter as it was revealed over 1400 years ago. Nothing added,
nothing taken away.
Two of the original
manuscripts of the Qur’an prepared 1400 years ago still exist
today. One is in the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul,
Turkey, and the other in Tashkent, Russia. Both of these are
identical in content with the Qur’an available all over the
world today.
You Can
Examine it!
God says:
"Will they not then consider
the Qur’an with care? If it had been from other than Allah
they would have found therein much discrepancy." (Qur’an
4:82)
Here God challenges people to
find an error in the Qur’an. If it contains errors then it
cannot be from God. If, on the other hand, it had been the
production of a human being it would definitely contain
errors. A human writer 1400 years ago would have written on
the basis of the level of knowledge of his or her day. And
many of those ideas would turn out to be false later as
humankind learns more, especially in the field of science.
But the Qur’an is remarkably free of error. To learn more

The Qur'an — Compared."
