About the Book
For over fourteen centuries Muslims have persevered in championing the text against corruption, memorizing its every word and contemplating its every phrase so that in our own times untold millions have enthusiastically committed each letter to heart.
Beginning with a catalog of ancient and contemporary attacks on the Qurʿan, this magnificent work provides unique insights into the holy text’s immaculate preservation throughout its history.
It then thoroughly refutes all of the accusations leveled against the Qur’an. The reception of divine revelations, Prophet Muḥammad’s role in teaching and disseminating these verses, the text’s compilation under his guidance, and the setting of its final external shape shortly after his death, are meticulously and scientifically examined alongside such topics as the origins of Arabic, its paleography and orthography, the so-called Mushaf of Ibn Masʿūd, and the strict methodology employed in assembling textual fragments.
The author does great work showing his knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic-Syriac, and Arabic. He exposes the flaws in the arguments of the Orientalists. As well as flaws within Western academia. He then goes on to produce a scathing attack on the Old and New Testaments. Thus showing how well preserved the Qur’an is, and how it is free from the problems faced by the Old and New Testaments.
