How Allah Preserves the Qur’an

How Allah Preserves the Qur’an

1.  Memorization (Ḥifẓ):

Millions of Muslims around the world, including young children, have memorized the entire Qur’an word-for-word. This oral transmission has continued in every generation since the time of the Prophet ﷺ.

2. Sanad & Ijāzah System:

Scholars teach the Qur’an with an unbroken chain of transmission (sanad) going back to the Prophet ﷺ. This ensures the correct pronunciation (tajwīd), recitation styles (qirā’āt), and wording are preserved exactly.

3. Written Preservation:

The Qur’an was written down during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ and compiled into a complete, standardized mushaf during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them).

4. Global Consistency:

Whether you open a mushaf in Indonesia, Morocco, Turkey, or the U.S., the Qur’anic text remains the same—word for word, letter for letter—thanks to this preservation.

5. Spiritual Protection:

Allah protects not only the words but also the meanings and understanding of the Qur’an through scholars, tafsir, and living tradition. Attempts to distort its message are always exposed and corrected.
