A Preserved Miracle from God In the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) the Arabs, although predominantly illiterate, were masters of the spoken word. Their poetry and prose were considered outstanding, and a model of literary excellence. When Prophet Muhammad recited the Qur’an – the words of God – the Arabs were moved tremendously by its sublime tone, eloquence, and extraordinary beauty. The Quran was Prophet Muhammad’s miracle from God. The Quran was also preserved by the people around Prophet Muhammad. They memorized the words of the Quran as they were revealed and paid careful attention to each word. Until today there are people who memorize the Qur’an with direct chains of memorization that span back to the Prophet himself.

How Can We Be Sure That the Quran is Authentic? The Quran, sometimes called the Holy Qur’an or the Noble Qur’an is the divine scripture or sacred text of the religion of Islam. Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the literal word of God. It was revealed to God’s final messenger Muhammad, to bring humankind out of the darkness of polytheism and ignorance and into the light of Islam.

And We have sent down to you the Book (the Quran) as an exposition of everything, guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves. (16:89) The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in God, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’ — and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)’. (2:285) And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Quran) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and trustworthy in highness and a witness over it (old Scriptures). (5:48)

Muslims have no doubt that Qur’an is exactly the same today as it was more than 1400 years ago when it was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. The authenticity of Qur’an is established in several ways. The most important way we can be sure that the Quran is authentic is the fact that when God revealed the Qur’an, He promised to preserve it. It is We Who have sent down the remembrance (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it from corruption. (15:9)

The words of Qur’an have remained unchanged. Over the centuries Muslims and non Muslims alike have examined copies of Quran more than 1000 years old. They found that they are all identical, apart from the introduction of vowel marks in the 7th century CE. These marks were introduced to further guard the authenticity of Quran by demanding strict adherence to pronunciation rules. The preservation of the Qur’an is a tale of wonder and amazement. It is a testament of God’s love for humankind, a book of guidance and a source of comfort. Muslims around the globe bear witness that it is the divinely revealed words of God. Words from the Most Merciful to His slaves. From the moment it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad it has been protected and preserved by God Himself. Source: islamreligion.com

Modern discoveries in the Qur’an One of Quran’s most remarkable qualities and another reason for believing its authenticity is the complete consistency between the Quran and many of the discoveries of modern science. Qur’an even pre-empts facts only discovered in the last 50 years or less. Dr. Maurice Bucaille, a French medical doctor specializing in gastroenterology had the following words to say about the scientific information contained in Quran. “The Quran follows on from the two Revelations that preceded it, and it is not only free from contradictions in its narrations, but provides a quality all of its own for those who examine it objectively and in the light of science, i.e. its complete agreement with modern scientific data. What is more, statements are to be found in it (as has been shown) that are connected with science: and yet it is unthinkable that a man of Muhammad’s time could have been the author of them. Modern scientific knowledge therefore allows us to understand certain verses of the Quran which, until now, it has been impossible to interpret.”

How to Know it’s Authentic? The Qur’an is the greatest of all scriptures. Through it, God speaks to humankind. He shows us His mercy, His love, His justice, and His wisdom. The Quran is guidance, and a comfort to the heart. It is a most important book indeed. How can we be sure that God’s words have not be changed or lost? How can we be sure that the Quran we hold in our hands today is authentic?
