Book of
God cannot have errors
1. God Revealed it
"Those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it comes unto 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" (Qur'an 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" (Qur'an 18:1-2).
"Allah has (now) revealed the fairest of
statements, a Scripture consistent" (Qur'an 39:23).
"A Qur'an in Arabic, containing no crookedness" (Q
39:28).
2. God Preserves it
God has promised to always preserve His book. He says:
"Surely We, even We, revealed the Reminder [the Qur'an], and We
verily are it's Guardian." (Qur'an 15:9)
The Qur'an 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 Qur'an prepared 1400 years
ago still exist today. One is in the Topkapi Saray Museum in
Istanbul, Turkey, and the other in Tashkent, Russia. Both of these
are identical in content with the Qur'an available all over the
world today.
3.You Can Examine it!
God says: "Will they not then consider the Qur'an with care? If it
had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much
discrepancy." (Qur'an 4:82)
Here God challenges people to find an error in the
Qur'an. 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. |
