One of the most interesting Islamic belief is that "Quran is unchanged" and a direct word from Allah.
Here, we need to discuss this belief and compare it with what the history says.

I've read somewhere (I wish I had the link handy but) that the Quran was for several generations an oral tradition and was not until much later, perhaps even centuries later, that an effort was made to write and compile all of the "teachings" into one book. By that time, the oral tradition had been modified & skewed by human nature, and the scribes who penned it all down introduced even more of their own ideas or twists.
Of course, the zealouts deny that any afterthoughts were inserted but scholars hold that it has been altered with time. |
For your information, it wasnt even 1 generation later. The caliphate decided to call upon hundreds of people who knew it by heart, and written pieces by the prophet and seperatly investigated everything. Nothing would go in, unless it was visible in all the recitals. The quran has no contradictions whatsoever.

No never please read this.

I noticed one reader on your site asking how we could answer or give someone evidence that the Qur'an has not changed throughout the past thousands of years. I'm also very eager to know a way to prove that our Qur'an HASN'T been altered.
I read through the entire answer but I could only find proper evidence that the BIBLE was corrupted/distorted not that the Qur'an hasn't been. I was expecting an answer that would be more specific, that would make a non-believer be convinced that the Qur’an hasn't been altered.
Even a non-believer can see enough solid proof in the form of scientific miracles in the Qur’an to realize its authenticity, but what they specifically want to know is how can we be sure that the same copy has been around for all these years? Could you please answer my question in a manner that non-Muslims would find convincing. Thank you very much for the
time.
