If the actual parchment of the Quran is the heart then does that mean that nobody can change it through books?

Question

Is the promise of the Quran never changing, established through its being memorized by hundreds of Millions of people from the time of the Prophet ?

Does that mean that even if people produced a new book it would become worthless because the actual "parchment" of the quran was the heart through memorization ?

Then is it right to say that nobody can change the quran because it was memorized by companions of the Prophet during his lifetime and was authenticated and checked by him before his passing ?

The best way to make a holy text unchangeable and truly UNIVERSAL is to have people be able to memorize the entire book from cover to cover.

Everybody on earth, no matter where they lived would recite the holy book in the original language and understand it as close to humanly possible from its original sources.

Answer 1

True that.. you are right so many people have memorized the Quran and that even if they wrote another book it would be worthless because those people would point the mistakes out..

Answer 2

The Islamic system for protectig the Quran was genius.

Literally all of the earliest Muslims knew the Quran by heart, all of them.

As the religion spread, this became impractical, so the job of protecting the Qur'an was given to the "Hafiz" - The protectors, whose job it was to remember the entire Quran.
Then, when the asyrians attacked the city of Yathrib they purposefully went after and killed the Hafiz.

After the Syrians were defeated in battle the Caliph decided to put the Quran on paper and sent it to all corners of the Muslim world. One remains in Tashkent to this day.

Putting it to paper threw upp some differences in Recitation however. Some Hafiz believed that, for example, in Surah 112, ayat 001, it begins with the word "say:". hafiz were divided over wheter this was a command from God to Muhammad to say this and thus not a part of the Quran, or as it was from God it should be in the Quran. It was decided through mutual agreement that as Muhammad had said "say" in his recitation, it would be included!

And so, there is a tradition which exists to this day where over 10 million Muslims know the Qur'an by heart, as well as the written Quran in Tashkent.

Nothing now can chane the Quran.

Answer 3

There are so many fakes in this world and so many people want to be a look at me person that no one wants to humble themselves before GOD. One religion after another comes around and so many people are taken in by them because people just want to belong and they want something to make since. Ever since the tower of Babel religion has been distorted by all the different nationality's of the world and we have buda, allah and the sun god and the moon god and the dog god and the inner god and we have hindus and muslims and Christians but in the end only one will be the big winner. So which one is real? I would say it would be the one that makes you feel good about everyone and makes everything make since and gives you hope and joy but there is no joy in killing everyone or blowing yourself up to prove a point. So I will choose Jesus because he makes truth out of life and brings peace not hate and this makes since, not confusion. I remember what GOD said to Hagar about the child and how he will become a mighty nation and that nation is the nation of Arabs but any nation that doesn't do the will of GOD will have in their country confusion and this is what I see in all the nations of the world now including the Arab nations so were all doing something wrong and that wrong is sin and disbelief in the truth.

Yes, of course the words of Quran can not be changed. Its a promise of the Almighty, whose words are in the holy Quran. He Himself is responsible for its protection. Time and again people tried to change it like other Asmani scriptures but did not succeed. If you pick up the Quran from an island of Java and match it with one in South Africa every word will match. Take two Hafiz from two cornors of the world and record their recitation every word will match.

Answer 5

Masha Allaha tabarak Allah,
Allahi baarik fee wa jazak Allah bakhair, brother/sister.

This is the miracle of holy Qura'n that it is the only book in the world most read and millions of people have memorised it by heart.
No other book has a single person memorising completely.

Answer 6

Allah will protect the holy Qur'an from ever being changed...it will never be changed. it has been translated but no Muslim would ever add anything to it or take some words out of it as they are doing to the holy Bible.

Answer 7

It can always be reinterpretted. It is written in such a way that anybody can use it for whatever purpose they want, just like other "holy" books.

And it is not from any god. Gods don't exist. This is just the writing of a man from a long time ago. It's age makes it worth less, not more, except for its historical value.

Answer 8

I believe that's called an oral tradition, and the one problem with that is that the people who memorized it die.

Hence, people write things down.

Answer 9

The Quran is a copy of the Bible with hate added.
