Was the Quran perfectly preserved ❓

#Was_the_Quran_perfectly_preserved ❓

So much noise was recently made regarding the Sana little manuscripts (few pages) that were found in Sanaa, Yemen, which is 818 kilometers (508 miles) away from Mecca, where the Quran was originally revealed. They date more than 100 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad, and they were found almost 1000 kms from Mecca. This also puts the manuscripts in the time during and after the civil war that happened among Muslims over the killing of the third Caliph, Uthman. So it is highly probable that this was a forged copy that was written to confuse Muslims during those times by the hypocrites and infidels. Yemen was part of the battle ground. Some today try to impose the Sanaa manuscripts as the actual true Quran. But this is terribly false on many levels. The manuscripts contain spelling errors and missing words when compared to our Glorious Quran. Here are some important points that will settle this:

1⃣ - The Quran's perfect preservation was truly preserved orally, with Muslims world-wide memorizing it to the letter.

2⃣ - The Quran's perfect preservation was also done by having Muslims read it throughout their daily prayers (sequential portions in every prayer), and by reading the whole Quran during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

3⃣ - There is ONE QURAN that is produced in Mecca and Medina, and this is the Quran that the overwhelming majority of all Muslims world-wide use. This is also the same Quran that non-Arabs see in their translated Qurans (half the page in Arabic and the other half is a translation).

4⃣ - The Hafs recitation and writing of the Quran is used by over 95% of Muslims world-wide. Detailed statistics proved this .

5⃣ - The Quran's perfect preservation proven. Miracle in Its complex Text and Compilation and memorization. Today is is printed world-wide and permanently preserved. Also visit this article by brother Karim.

6⃣ - The desperate infidels of today try to impose a false manuscript, that was found 800+ kms away from Mecca, on Islam. This simply does not work. See also the Quran's Surah like it challenge. Also Responses to all of the so-called "Errors" in the Noble Quran (100s of lies refuted), and Responses to the "Textual Variants" lies in the Noble Quran.

7⃣ - The Glorious Quran's STUNNING Numerical and Scientific Miracles testify to the Divinity of the Quran as Allah Almighty precisely promised He would show in the Quran.

💠 After the death of prophet, Hazrat Abu Bakr became the first Caliph, and Hazrat Omar was one of his close companions and advisers. After the prophet’s death there was a war of Yama-ina in 632 AD due to rise in disbelief and apostasy in which many Huffaz were martyred. So, it occurred to Hazrat Omar that necessary steps should be taken less more Huffaz are lost either through martyrdom on battlefields or through a process of natural deaths. So he impressed upon Caliph Hazrat Abu Bakr that he should order that the Qur’aan be collected in the from of a single Book.

💠 Initially Hazrat Abu Bakr hesitated and said. “How can you do something which ALLAH’s Prophet did not do ❓” To this Hazrat Omar replied:- By ALLAH! This is a good project.” Hazrat Abu Bakr said that Hazrat Omer kept on urging him to accept his proposal till ALLAH opened my (Abu Bakr’s) chest for it and then I also realised the good in the idea which Hazrat Omer had realised. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr sent for scribe Zaid Bin Saabit.

💠 When he came to Hazrat Abu Bakr he found that Hazrat Umer Bin Khattaab was also sitting with him. Hazrat Abu Bakr said to Zaid Bin Saabit -“You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you. You used to be a scribe to the Holy Prophet and you are also a Hafiz-e-Qur’aan directly from the Holy Prophet. You were also present when Holy Prophet had recited the Holy Qur’aan to Angel Jibreel Alai His Saalam. So you should collect all the fragmentary scripts of the Holy Qur’aan and compile them into a single Book. Zaid Bin Saabit said - “By ALLAH! If they had ordered me to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur’aan and compile it in the form of one Book. So, I started to collect the fragments of Qur’aan from all sources and from other Huffaz who had memorised it by heart.” Thus an extremely faithful copy of Qur’aan was complied.

💠 Then Caliph Hazrat Abu Bakr died after about year and half. Hazrat Omer was appointed as the Second Caliph of Islam at Madina. By then a complete copy of Qur’aan was prepared. Hazrat Omer handed over this single copy to Prophet’s wife-HAFSA for retention. Hazrat HAFSA was Hazrat Omer’s daughter.

💠 After Hazrat Omer’s death-came the Third Caliph of Islam, Hazrat Usman who held the Caliphate from 644 AD to 655 AD. At this time Islam was expanding at a very rapid rate in the far off lands away from Arabia. It was then reported to Hazrat Usman that several Muslim Communities were not able to use the correct dialect and pronunciation of Qur’aan while reciting it. It was feared that this problem of uncertain pronunciation of Qur’aanic words might subsequently lead to problems in meaning and even in doctrinal confusion. According to Al-Bukhari this news reached Hazrat Usman through Hudaifa Bin AI-Yaman a general of the Muslim army which consisted of soldiers from peoples of Shams and people Book Iraq. They were waging a war to conquer Armenia and Azarbaijaan. The general had noticed such debates among his own troops.

💠 Therefore Hazrat Usman once again called Zaid Bin Saabit to head a new commission and produce the Holy Qur’aan in the Quraish dialect. (The commission consisted of Abdullah Bin Az-Zubair, Said bin AI-Aas and Abdur Rahman Bin Haris bin Hisham) This was done. Several copies of this authorita-tive Qur’aan in Quraish dialect were sent to each major centre of Islamic Empire and earlier manuscripts of Qur’aan were retrieved from them.

💠 Today all scholars agree that the Qur’aan in the same Hashimite dialect (HAFS) has remained intact till today.

💠 Later when Islam was spreading to other non-Arabic speaking lands, another difficulty was being experienced in pronouncing even the Quraish Dialect with correct pronunciation. Then later on in Caliph Hazrat Mauwiya’s time, Zer, Zabar, and Pesh, vowels were attached to each letter of Qur’aan to bind the reader to only one correct Quraish pronunciation.

🗒 No other book of Revelation - Torah, Zaboor or Gospel can claim such an authenticity and meticulousness as that of Holy Qur’aan. (Present day Bible has hundreds of versions. Each is different from the others.)
