Introduction

 

The Holy Qur’an is the final Testament and perfect Code of life, revealed to our beloved master, the Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. [Nuzzilaa ala Muhammadin] and  claims that  this is the divine Book, without any doubt[ 2:3] from the Creator and Cherisher of the Universe[……] and for the guidance of the  whole of humankind[2:185]

 

The Glorious Qur’an has many outstanding features which other world scriptures (revealed Books) can never claim and prove. One unparalleled aspect of the Holy Qur’an, being intact with ‘pristine purity’, is its marvellous consistency. The Qur’an invites the attention of its readers to this unique feature in the following words:

اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوۡنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ ؕ وَلَوْ کَانَ مِنْ عِنۡدِ غَیۡرِ اللہِ لَوَجَدُوۡا فِیۡہِ اخْتِلَافًا کَثِیۡرًا ﴿۸۲﴾

 

Do they not reflect over the Qur’an. And………………………………………………….[Al-Nisa 83].

 

Here in this verse the word ‘Ikhtilaaf’ is of significant  importance. According to the Arabic dictionary it means: Inconsistency, ………………..

 

Thus, this is one of the biggest proofs that this is the Word of God, preserved word for word since its revelation to our beloved master the Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Its preservation and protection from human interpolation and manipulation is due to that majestic promise of Almighty Allah, which is mentioned in Sura Al-Hijr in the following words:

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَ اِنَّا لَہٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ ﴿۹﴾

Surely We have reavled this Reminder and We are going to protect it.

 

The promise for protecting and safeguarding the Final Word was not granted to any other scripture revealed to various prophets like in the case of Torah, Injeel etc. On the contrary the followers of those books were made
