Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

AOA i wuld like 2 ask a very important question. Today we hear a lot about fake Quran`s being published by the non-muslims etc. but according to my knowlege Allah guaranteed the Prophet(P.B.U.H) that the Quran will remain untampered with so how can this be possible tht fake Qurans are being published Asalam-o-Alaikum 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Fake Qurans

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 15 Surah Al Hijr verse 9:

It is We (Allah), Who has sent down this Remembrance (Al-Quran), and We will assuredly guard it against corruption.

Dear and Beloved brother in Islam, it is indeed Allah Subhanah, the Lord of the World’s Solemn Promise and Guarantee that His Last and Final Book of Revelation will be preserved and safeguarded until the end of time. Allah is our witness, the Glorious Quran which we have amongst us today is the exact verbatim script without any alteration whatsoever, which was Revealed by the Lord Most High upon His Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws). Allah Subhanah has guarded the Glorious Quran for 1400+ years since its inception, and it is He Who will assuredly safeguard this Quran until the end of time.

Your Question: so how can this be possible tht fake Qurans are being published

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Isra verse 88:

Declare this! ‘Even if (all) human beings and the jinns should co-operate with one another to bring forth a book like the Quran, they would never be able to bring anything like it, even though they all helped one another!”

If some unscrupulous and evil people have tried to plagiarize, invent and publish a few chapters in the form of a book in their futile effort to bring about the likes of the Glorious Quran, their futile effort should in no way be confused with the guarantee of Allah Subhanah; for regardless of whatever these blasphemous evil-doers do, never never ever will they ever be able to produce even a verse, leave alone a whole book which remotely resembles the likes of the Glorious Quran.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 79:

Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah”, so that they might gain some paltry worldly price. This writing of their hands will bring woe to them, and what they gain thereby will lead to their ruin!

The guarantee of Allah Subhanah is to preserve and guard the authenticity of the Original Glorious Quran…and Allah is our witness, the Glorious Quran is preserved unadulterated and verbatim as it was revealed on the Prophet (saws) not only in the script and book form which is available today in every corner of the world, but also in the hearts and memory of millions of believers; and as promised by the Lord Most High, this Glorious Message will remain unadulterated, unaltered and preserved till the end of time.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
