Why God’s Book Cannot Contain Error
1>
God
Revealed it
Those
who disbelieve in the Reminder when it comes
onto 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 (Quraan
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 (Quraan 18:1-2).
Allah
has (now) revealed the fairest of the
statements, a Scripture consistent (Quraan
39:28).
2>
God
Preserves it
God
has promised to always preserve His
book. He says:
Surely
We, even We, revealed the Reminder (the
Quraan), and We verily are it’s Guardian (Quraan
15:9).
The
Quraan 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 Quraan
prepared 1400 years ago still exists today. One is in the Topkapi Saray
Museum
in Istambul, Turkey,
and the other in
Tashkent, Russia.
Both of these are identical
in content with the Quraan available
all over the world today.
3> You Can
Examine it
God
says:
Will
they not then consider the Quraan with care? If
it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much
discrepancy (Quraan 4:82).
Here God challenges people to find an error in the Quraan. 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 Quraan is remarkably free of error.
People Changed the Old Scriptures
including the Bible:
It
is the People who Changed the Old Scriptures including the Bible as
mentioned in the Quraan:
But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other than that which
had been spoken to them, so We sent upon those who were unjust a
pestilence from heaven, because they transgressed. (Al_Quraan_002:059)
Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among
them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they
had understood it, and they know (this). (Al_Quraan_002:075)
Whoever then alters it after he has heard it, the sin of it then is
only upon those who alter it; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing. (Al_Quraan_002:181)
Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their
places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be
made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and
taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead): We have heard
and we obey, and hearken, and unzurna it would have been better for
them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their
unbelief, so they do not believe but a little. (Al_Quraan_004:046)
But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and made
their hearts hard; they altered the words from their places and they
neglected a portion of what they were reminded of; and you shall always
discover treachery in them excepting a few of them; so pardon them and
turn away; surely Allah loves those who do good (to others). (Al_Quraan_005:013)
But those who were unjust among them changed it for a saying other than
that which had been spoken to them; so We sent upon them a pestilence
from heaven because they were unjust. (Al_Quraan_007:162)
