Questions & Answers

The Qur'aan, which was revealed to the prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, via Jibreel Alayhissalaam is indeed perfect and complete.

Evidence of Preservation:
Uthman radhiyallaahu ordered Zayd ibn Thabit, Sa'id ibn al-'As, Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, and Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham to copy it (Al - Qur'aan) into the copies (scrolls) of the Qur'an. He said to them: If you and Zayd ibn Thabit disagree over any of the Arabic of the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of the Quraysh, for the Qur'an was revealed in their language. So they did.
[Narrator: Anas bin Malik • Al-Bukhari, Sahih Al-Bukhari (4984) • [Sahih]]

This work carried out by the third Khalifa in preserving the text of Qur'aan was widely accepted by the mainstream Muslim community from back then leading up to this day.

In the mainstream Muslim community, there is a consensus that the Qur'an has been preserved in its original form since it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam. This belief is based on the understanding that the Qur'an has been transmitted through both written and oral traditions, ensuring its accuracy and consistency over time.

While there are minor differences in recitation styles, known as "qira'at," these do not affect the meaning of the text and are considered authentic variants that originate from the time of the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam.

The Salafi View:
The Salafi view on the Qur'aan is that it is the uncreated speech of Allahu subahaanahu wa ta'aala and has been preserved and free from distortions from the time of revelation to the prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam leading to this day.

Allahu subahaanahu wa ta'aala has taken it upon himself to safeguard the Qur'aan from any distortions:
"Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian." (Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 9)

The Salafi view is therefore the mainstream view that the Qur'aan is preserved since revelation and is free of errors or distortions and whoever says otherwise is making a false claim.
