Quranic Strategy in its Own Preservation, Part I
Author(s):
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: For Muslims, the Quran is the unchallengeable word of God. Its inimitability, eloquence, outstanding use of the Arabic language, and scientific accuracies has been the subject of many discussions among Muslims and non-Muslim scholars alike. And given the issue of alteration in other divine scriptures, the discussion of tahrif (alteration) has also been examined. Has the Quran been changed like other divine books? Moreover, how is God a preserver over the Quran? As God challenges human beings to bring forth a text that resembles the Quran, is this due to its magnificent nature, or that humans are incapable due to Gods divine intervention at every endeavour? This paper explores the practical measures taken to ensure the Qurans survival as an unadulterated text, exploring the following areas to display these strategic stylistic methods, namely 1. The odd placement of controversial verses, and 2. The omission of names of contemporaries of the Prophet Muhammad. Part two of this paper will explore the Qurans easy and accurate memorization, omission of details, and scientific ambiguity.
