Quran 2:106 “ None of Our revelations do We abrogate (annul, change) or cause to be forgotten, BUT We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html
Ok, so nothing in the Quran is changed except for something "similar" or "better". If the Quran allows itself to be changed for something better, how could it be from God?
God is perfect, and thus writes no imperfection. Its impossible to improve perfection, therefore, unless the Quran were written by men, there could never be any allowance for changing its written word.
Again, the Quran says that we can "substitute" the speech in the Quran for "something better". How can you better God? Its obvious whoever wrote this part of the Quran, was hedging and trying to make room to cure mistakes that he might have missed with his intial copies.

TRUTH SEEKER
You don't seek Truth but always spread lies against Islam. Neither the text of Quran nor the translation says in parenthesis (annul, change). You have added this (annul, change) to misguide people and that is your only motive.
I have seen many of your question and commnets. You are enemy of Islam which is being enemy of God. You are not worth responding. I always avoid answering you.
I have responded this time to let people know your motives.

I strongly suspect you're taking this completely out of context and/or you ahve a bad translation, because fundemental insistence of Muslims is that the Koran is NOT changed or altered, EVER. It is the literal word of God spokent through Gabriel to Mohammed to his followers. Many Muslims are against the idea of the Koran even being translated because then it is no longer a word for word repitition of what they beieve God dictated. (Which is most Muslims in the world know Arabic even if its not their local language...they learn it specifically so they can read the Koran in the original Arabic.)

Are you surprised ? Don't be...Interpolations by the translators are unavoidable. This is what is going on, and has been going on and will continue to go on. Like it or not, you're obviously having to deal with it.
It's for the same reason that the Bible and other sacred text has been altered and watered down.....All knowledge ultimately leads to self-knowledge......regardless of where it comes from...sacred or not....
Where there is knowledge, there is conflict......
By the way, Truth Seeker.....It all depends on how YOU interpret it..... What do YOU mean by the word YOU have in quotes...."better" ???
YOUR interpretation of it is YOUR opinion of it.......YOUR SELF-KNOWLEDGE......Your being a Bonehead.....WAKE UP while you can. Like most fundamentalists viewing this site, You are eating the menu instead of the dinner.
I suppose doubt is what gets us an education eh? Happy Trails.....

The Qur'an says, in Surat Maryam,

I think you are looking at a real bad translation of the text.
I suggest learning Arabic, at least you would be "spot on" in your attempted accusations, or maybe you will understand what the verse means...you never know which way it will go...! ;)
Peace!

i wouldn't try analyzing Quranic verses by yourself, because arabic is such a rich language, one thing could mean another and most likely that verse was interpreted incorrectly. the Qur'an has no mistakes.

because God wants us to grow and change and learn instead of having knowledge all at once?
