The Perspective of Adwa' al-Bayan:
Adwa' al-Bayan on the Clear Guidance of the Quran
In his Tafsir work, Adwa' al-Bayan, Sheikh ash-Shanqiti emphasizes that the Quran is a clear and explanatory guide for humankind.
He states that while the guidance of the Quran is universal, it is particularly beneficial for those who possess taqwa (acting with piety and fear of Allah).
The Muttaqin (the pious) are those who:
- Fear Allah,
- Avoid sins, and
- Strive to follow His commands.
He emphasizes that these are the individuals who will derive the greatest benefit from the teachings of the Quran.
Quranic Da'wah Explanation
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)
Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah).
After praising Allah and asking for guidance, we recite Surah Al-Baqarah. Following the verse "Alif Lam Mim," in verse 2.2, this divine book, containing these verses, is not written by humans but is a revelation from Allah, originating from Him and revealed through His Messenger. It contains numerous proofs. It is a linguistic miracle, a scientific miracle, a historical miracle. Every word and line in this scripture is called an "Ayat." "Ayat" means proof. Thus, this Quran is a divine scripture and proof that the God who created us exists.
This is the (divine) Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt.
The Challenge of the Quran
This is a divine scripture, and there should be no doubt in it. If there is any doubt, then bring forth a single verse like it – this is the challenge.
Or do they say, "He has invented it"? Rather, they do not believe.
[Quran 52:33]
Then let them produce a discourse like it, if they should be truthful.
[Quran 52:34]
No one has been able to refute this challenge of the Quran so far, nor will they ever be able to. This is because Allah Himself states in the Quran that He will protect it. From the time the Quran was revealed until today, millions of people have memorized the entire Quran by heart. Its original text has been preserved to this day. Anyone can compare it at any time.
This Quran, through its linguistic, scientific, and historical proofs, the way it has been preserved, and its prophetic proofs, is indeed a divine scripture. Those who study it can easily examine these aspects and, through this, believe and accept that there is a Creator, and He is Allah.
(A guidance) for the righteous (Muttaqin) who fear Allah.
Muttaqin
This comes from the root word taqwa. Those who possess taqwa are called Muttaqin.
Explanation of Taqwa and Muttaqin through the Quran
According to the Hans Wehr Dictionary, the Arabic word "مُتَّقِينَ" (Muttaqin) is derived from وَقَى (waqa), meaning "to guard, to protect, to be cautious." It is commonly translated as:
- Pious
- Righteous
- God-feari
- Devout
- Upright
- Virtuous
- Conscientious (in faith)
- Those who fear Allah
- Those who guard against evil
Taqwa and Muttaqin – Quranic Explanation
1. What is Taqwa (تقوى)?
Taqwa is an Arabic word. Its meaning is:
👉 To fear Allah and abstain from sins.
👉 To strive to do good deeds.
It encompasses meanings such as God-consciousness, fear of Allah, respect and awareness of Allah.
🕋 Verses in the Quran about Taqwa:
🔹 "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you..."
📖 [Quran 49:13]
🔹 "And whoever fears Allah - He will remove for him his misdeeds and make great for him his reward."
📖 [Quran 65:5]
2. Who are the Muttaqin (متقين)?
The Muttaqin are those who:
👉 Possess taqwa.
👉 Practice taqwa in their lives.
👉 Live by following Allah's commands and avoiding sins.
📖 The Muttaqin in the Quran:
🔹 "This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah."
📖 [Quran 2:2]
🔹 "But those who feared their Lord - for them are gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, as accommodation from Allah. And that which is with Allah is best for the righteous."
📖 [Quran 3:198]
3. Characteristics of Taqwa and the Muttaqin:
✅ Firm belief in Allah
✅ Belief in the unseen (Ghaib)
✅ Establishment of prayer (Salah)
✅ Spending in the way of Allah
✅ Patience, truthfulness, sincerity
✅ Forgiveness and a peaceful disposition
Conclusion:
Taqwa is – a true fear and respect for Allah in the heart.
Muttaqin are – those who demonstrate that taqwa practically in their lives.
These are the ones who will receive Allah's complete grace, guidance, and Paradise.
🔹 "Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs."
📖 [Quran 77:41]
The Quran Could Only Be From God - Impossible for Humans!
The Holy Quran, the sacred text of Islam, is believed by Muslims to be the very words of God. There are numerous compelling reasons for this belief, some of which we will explore here with evidence. The knowledge contained within these verses makes it clear that their origin could not have been human.The Quran Should be revealed from someone who knows past present and future also have complete Knowledge He is Allah.
Evidences from the Quran That Only God Possesses Complete Knowledge:
1. Knowledge of the Past (Past Events)
Surah Yusuf 12:102
"This is of the news of the unseen which We reveal to you. And you were not with them (Joseph’s brothers) when they conspired."
Explanation:
The detailed account of the life of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), including the betrayal by his brothers and his rise to power in Egypt, were facts unknown to the Arabs before the revelation of the Quran. This comprehensive historical knowledge proves that only God could have been the source.
2. Knowledge of the Present and Hidden Realities (Present/Hidden Knowledge)
Surah Al-Hadid 57:22
"No disaster strikes on earth or in yourselves but it is in a Book before We bring it into existence—indeed that is easy for Allah."
Explanation:
Every affliction that occurs on Earth or in your own lives is already recorded in God's knowledge before it even happens. Furthermore, He knows the secrets within the hearts of human beings (Surah Al-Mulk 67:13). This demonstrates Allah's perfect and all-encompassing knowledge.
3. Predictions of the Future (Future Predictions)
Surah Ar-Rum 30:1-4
"The Romans have been defeated... But within a few years, Allah will give them victory."
Explanation:
This verse predicted the victory of the Romans over the Persians after their initial defeat. This future event accurately occurred within the timeframe mentioned (614-622 CE). This undeniably proves God's complete knowledge of the future.
4. Scientific Facts
Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30
"Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and earth were a joined entity, then We separated them?"
Explanation:
This verse, revealed approximately 1400 years ago, alludes to the modern scientific Big Bang Theory, which describes the universe originating from a single point around 13.8 billion years ago. It is highly improbable that humans of that era possessed such scientific insight.
Conclusion:
The Holy Quran accurately describes events of the past, the realities of the present (both seen and unseen), future occurrences, and scientific facts that were unknown at the time of its revelation. This knowledge is a testament to the perfect wisdom of Allah.
Surah At-Tahrim 66:12
"And Allah has knowledge of all things."
Indeed, this Quran could only have been revealed by the All-Knowing God! It is impossible for human beings to have authored a book containing such profound and accurate knowledge.
Okay, here's the English version of the text you provided, focusing on the non-scientific arguments for the Quran's divine origin:
The Quran Could Only Be From God - Impossible for Humans!
Dear Readers,
The Holy Quran, the sacred text of Islam, is believed by Muslims to be the very words of God. There are numerous compelling reasons for this belief, some of which we will explore here, setting aside the scientific evidence. These aspects clearly indicate that the Quran could not have been authored by an ordinary human being.
Evidences from the Quran (Beyond Science) That Only God Possesses Complete Knowledge:
1. Literary and Linguistic Excellence
The Quran possesses a unique literary style and profound meaning. Its structure, word choice, rhythm, and eloquence are considered unparalleled in Arabic literature. Even the most skilled poets and scholars of its time were challenged to produce a chapter of similar caliber. This linguistic excellence serves as powerful evidence that the Quran could not have been authored by an ordinary human being and is indeed the word of God.
Explanation:
The literary beauty and rhetorical power of the Quran are unmatched. Its verses possess a captivating quality for listeners. In all aspects, including grammatical rules, rhetoric, and poetic nuance, it stands apart. It is inconceivable that such a book could have been produced by someone lacking deep knowledge and mastery of the Arabic language.
2. Confirmation and Correction of Previous Scriptures
The Quran confirms certain information found in earlier scriptures like the Torah and the Gospel while also correcting alterations and misinterpretations that occurred over time. Its ability to preserve the essence of previous revelations and rectify their inaccuracies is further evidence of its divine origin. Only God, the ultimate source of all divine guidance, would possess such comprehensive knowledge of past scriptures and their modifications.
Explanation:
The Quran presents the true essence of the teachings of earlier prophets like Moses and Jesus. Simultaneously, it points out the human additions and distortions that crept into those scriptures over time. This ability to both confirm and correct indicates that the same God who revealed the previous scriptures also revealed the Quran.
3. Universality and Timelessness of its Teachings
The teachings of the Quran are not confined to a specific time or place; they possess a universality and timelessness that transcends cultural and historical boundaries. Its guidance on justice, mercy, human relations, economics, and social ethics remains relevant and applicable in all eras. This enduring universality is a testament to its divine origin, authored by an all-knowing God.
Explanation:
The ethical principles, legal frameworks, and lifestyle guidelines presented in the Quran are not tied to any particular culture but are based on the fundamental values of humanity. Despite the passage of time, the significance of these teachings remains undiminished. This makes it clear that this book could not have originated from the limited perspective of a single human being.
4. Transformation of Individuals and Societies Through the Quran
Throughout history, the teachings of the Quran have led to remarkable transformations in the lives of countless individuals and the structures of entire societies. People who once lived immoral lives embraced virtue, and those steeped in ignorance attained knowledge. The Quran's guidance has fostered justice and peace within communities. Such profound and lasting impact is beyond the capacity of an ordinary book, testifying to the divine power and truth of its message.
Explanation:
History is replete with examples of the social and personal changes brought about by the Quran's teachings. Slavery was abolished, women's rights were established, and just systems of governance were formed. The positive changes in the behavior and thinking of individuals underscore the impact of the Quran.
Conclusion:
These aspects – the unparalleled literary excellence, the confirmation and correction of previous scriptures, the universality and timelessness of its teachings, and the profound transformation of individuals and societies – strongly suggest that the Quran is indeed the word of God, possessing knowledge beyond human capacity.

Scientific Proofs
It is an interesting endeavor to explain the Quran's statement "in it is no doubt" (لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ) from a scientific perspective. The divine nature of the Quran can also be proven through scientific facts. Here are some scientific facts mentioned in the Quran and their explanations:
The Origin of the Universe (Big Bang Theory):
Quranic Verse (21:30):
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا
"Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them?"
This
The Expansion of the Universe:
Quranic Verse (51:47):
وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
"And the heaven We constructed with might, and indeed, We are [its] expanders."
This verse indicates that the universe is continuously expanding. This aligns with the scientific theory of the "Expanding Universe."
The Roots of Mountains (Isostasy):
Quranic Verse (78:6-7):
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
"Have We not made the earth a bed, and the mountains as pegs?"
This verse indicates that mountains are not just on the surface of the earth but extend deep down like roots. This aligns with the scientific theory of "Isostasy."
The Water Cycle:
Quranic Verse (23:18):
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ
"And We have sent down water from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are able to take it away."
This verse speaks about the water cycle. Rain, evaporation, and water storage are parts of this cycle.
Human Creation:
Quranic Verse (23:12-14):
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ...
"And We did certainly create man out of a extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging..."
This verse describes the stages of human creation, which fully aligns with the science of Embryology.
The Origin of Iron:
Quranic Verse (57:25):
وَأَنْزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ
"And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people..."
.jpeg)
This verse indicates that iron was not naturally formed on Earth but came to Earth from space (through meteorites). This aligns with the scientific theory of the "Extraterrestrial Origin of Iron."
The Barrier Between Seas:
Quranic Verse (55:19-20):
مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ. بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَا يَبْغِيَانِ
"He released the two seas, meeting [side by side]; Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses."
This verse indicates that where two seas meet, they do not mix due to differences in salinity and density. This aligns with the science of "Oceanography."
Words Used in the Quran
The words used in the Quran are completely different from the words commonly used by the Arab people at the time. There are numerous examples of this. We have mentioned a few examples...
This document explores scientifically relevant Quranic verses where specific Arabic word choices convey deep meanings consistent with modern discoveries. It compares Quranic terms with common Arabic alternatives, highlighting the linguistic precision and scientific foresight.
Here is the English translation of the provided Tamil text:
Conclusion:
These scientific facts in the Quran prove that it is a divine book. The Quran, which stated such accurate scientific facts 1400 years ago, confirms that it is not a book written by humans. Thus, the statement in the Quran, "in it is no doubt" (لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ), is also confirmed on a scientific basis.

Ways to Prove Through Language and Literary Structure
The Quran: Is It the Word of God? - Ways to Prove Through Language and Literary Structure
The Quran is considered by the Muslim community and throughout the world as the word of God. Many argue for the divinity of the Quran by pointing to its language and literary structure. Here, we look at some key aspects through which the Quran is proven to be the word of God through its language, literary structure, and grammar.
-
Inimitability (I'jaz al-Quran)
In the language, structure, and multifaceted nature of the Quran, one can see a quality that no human can create. Its structure in all aspects is extraordinary. Accordingly, many meanings preceding the word "nature" are contained in its lines, divinely arranged literary form, and incomparable harmony.
Examples of Inimitability:
Brevity and Depth: The Quran always provides deep meanings even though it is very concise. For example, Surah Al-Asr (103:1-3):
"By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other1 to patience." (Surah Al-Asr 103:1, 2, 3)
This short Surah gives a deep, multi-dimensional meaning about the lifespan, time, and salvation of human beings.
-
Extraordinary Use in Arabic Grammar
The Quran uses various word structures, especially in grammar, in a very extraordinary way, going against strict rules. This is not in accordance with the ways humans advance linguistic structures but is shown as something purely created by God.
Examples of Extraordinary Grammatical Usage:
Changes in Word Order: Sometimes, the Quran creates structures by changing the rules from regular Arabic grammar. For example, Surah Al-Ikhlas (112:1):
"Say, "He is Allah, [who is] one.""
These are words arranged in a special rule, emphasizing the oneness of Allah.
Omitted Words: The Quran sometimes omits certain words, thereby providing extraordinary perspectives. For example, Surah Al-Mulk (67:2):
"[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving2 -"
From this, it describes the purpose of creation and life.

Distinctive Use of Literary Forms
The Quran, with its many different literary forms, intensely impresses God's love, purity, and justice in the minds of people. These are especially parables, short stories, comparisons, and advice.
Literary Devices:
Short Stories: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:261) is exemplified in a very easily understandable way, showing an honest statement about economics:
"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [his reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing."3
Parables: The Quran creates another aspect in straightforward language, for example, in Surah An-Nur (24:35):
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither4 of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things."5
-
Precision of Language and Grammar
The structure, rhythm, and extraordinary simplicity of the words in the Quran are musical and clearly convey the depth of its meaning.
Examples of Precision:
Use of Harmony: The Quran often creates fundamental structures that harmonize with the meaning. For example, Surah Al-Insan (76:12-22) explains Paradise and Hell through many structures.
"And We will recompense them for having patiently persevered - [with] a garden [in Paradise] and silk garments." Surah Al-Insan (76:12)
-
Grammatical Uniqueness
The Quran shows innovative ways in some Arabic grammar, which is interpreted exclusively as signifying its divine origin.
Example of Grammatical Uniqueness:
The Use of the Definitive "Al": The Quran uses the basic word "Al" (the) in a very distinctive way. For example, "Al-Malik" (The Sovereign) is a structure with such a lofty quality.
| Word | Nuance | Core Meaning | Connotation | Quranic Example (Arabic) | Tamil Translation |
|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| "وَذَرُوا" (Wadharu) | To leave completely, to abandon without return or repetition | Complete separation - to leave entirely and not want to return | Complete abandonment, decisive and intense in ending an action and its connections | Surah Al-Ahzab 33:60: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبَا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ | "ஈமான் கொண்டவர்களே! நீங்கள் உண்மையாக முஃமின்களாக இருந்தால், அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு அஞ்சியடங்கி, எஞ்சியுள்ள வட்டியை வாங்காது விட்டு விடுங்கள்." |
| "تَرَكُوا" (Taraku) | To leave something behind | Leaving something behind, but not necessarily a complete separation | Leaving, but not necessarily a complete and irreversible separation | (Examples of "Taraku" would be needed here for a complete comparison) | விட்டுவிடுங்கள், ஆனால் முழுமையாகப் பிரிந்துவிடாதவாறு (Leave, but not in a completely separated way) |
Explanation:
"وَذَرُوا" (Wadharu) signifies completely abandoning an action with no intention of returning to it. It implies a decisive and intense separation, ending the action and any related involvement.
"تَرَكُوا" (Taraku) means to leave something behind. While it indicates stopping an action, it doesn't necessarily imply a complete and irreversible separation. There might still be a possibility of returning to it or some lingering connection.
We can understand these differences through the examples we have shared. (Note: The table above includes the Quranic example for "Wadharu". Examples for "Taraku" would further clarify the distinction).
Okay, here's the English translation of the Tamil text about the Quran's extraordinary word usage:

The Quran: A Historical Miracle
1. The Body of Pharaoh and the Preservation of Ramses II
The Quran States:
The Quran mentions that the body of Pharaoh would be preserved as a sign for future generations (Surah Yunus 10:92):
"So today We will save your body that you may be a sign for those after you. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless."
Ancient Archaeological Evidence:
The mummy of Ramses II (or possibly his successor Merneptah) was discovered in 1898 CE. It was remarkably well-preserved, corroborating the Quran's statement. Studies suggest signs of drowning, aligning with the narrative of the Pharaoh who pursued Prophet Musa (Moses) and drowned in the sea.
Today, the mummy of Pharaoh is on display at the Cairo Museum in Egypt.
2. Iram of the Pillars
The Quran Mentions:
The Quran describes the city of Iram as having "lofty pillars" (Surah Al-Fajr 89:6-8):
"Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
The like of which was not created in the lands?"
Ancient Archaeological Evidence:
In the 1990s, the lost city of Ubar (believed by some to be Iram) was discovered in Oman through NASA satellite imagery and ground surveys. It was a significant trading hub believed to have been destroyed due to a sinkhole caused by changing underground water levels.
3. The People of Thamud and Their Carved Homes in Rocks
The Quran Mentions:
The Quran mentions the people of Thamud, who carved homes out of rocks and were destroyed by divine wrath (Surah Al-Hijr 15:81-84, Surah Al-Fajr 89:9):
"And the companions of al-Hijr [i.e., Thamud] denied the messengers.
And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.
And they used to carve out of the mountains, homes, feeling secure.
But the blast seized them at morning.
So nothing which they had earned availed them." (Surah Al-Hijr 15:81-84)
And [with] Thamud [who] carved out the rocks in the valley? (Surah Al-Fajr 89:9)
Ancient Archaeological Evidence:
The city of Madain Saleh (Al-Hijr), located in present-day Saudi Arabia, was inhabited by the Nabataeans. It is famous for its beautifully carved structures out of rock, similar to Petra in Jordan. This is believed by some to be the city of the people of Thamud mentioned in the Quran.
4. The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Prophet Lut's People)
The Quran Mentions:
The Quran describes the punishment that befell the people of Prophet Lut (Lot), who were overthrown and rained upon with stones of hard clay (Surah Hud 11:82-83, Surah Al-Hijr 15:74):
"So when Our command came, We made the highest part of it its lowest and rained upon it stones of layered hard clay," (Surah Hud 11:82)"So We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay." (Surah Al-Hijr 15:74)
"Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.And indeed, [the cities] were on a main road [still] existing." (Surah Al-Hijr 15:75-76)
Ancient Archaeological Evidence:
The city of Sodom is believed by some to be located in the area of Tall el-Hammam in Jordan. Researchers there suggest that a massive airburst event (possibly a meteor explosion) around 1650 BCE could have destroyed the city, potentially aligning with the Quranic description of its destruction.
5. Babylon and the Hanging Gardens
The Quran Mentions:
The Quran mentions the city of Babylon and the angels Harut and Marut who were sent there (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102):
"And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are
1 but a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And2 [yet] they learn that which harms them and does not benefit them. And they have already known that whoever buys it [i.e., magic] will have no share in the Hereafter. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew."
Ancient Archaeological Evidence:
The ruins of the city of Babylon in Iraq have been excavated, confirming the existence of its ancient towers, palaces, and sacred sites. The Babylon mentioned in the Quran is likely this historical city. Furthermore, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were renowned in antiquity as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Indeed, I will now provide more crucial evidence regarding the preservation of the Quran, especially concerning the original manuscripts in Cairo (Misr) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan):
The Miraculous Preservation of the Quran
How Was the Quran Preserved? – Detailed Explanation in English
1. During the Time of Prophet Muhammad (610–632 CE)
- Conscious Memorization (Preservation by Oral Transmission): The Quran was revealed over 23 years. As soon as the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited it, his companions memorized it.
- Written Record: Many Sahabah (companions) – especially Zayd ibn Thabit – recorded the Quran in writing.
- Verification: The Prophet (peace be upon him) would review the Quran annually with the angel Jibril (Gabriel); he did so twice in the year of his death.
2. During the Time of Abu Bakr (632–634 CE)
- Due to the loss of many Huffaz (those who had memorized the entire Quran) in the Battle of Yamama, Caliph Abu Bakr ordered the official compilation of the Quranic verses.
- A committee headed by Zayd ibn Thabit verified and compiled the verses from the oral recitations of the Sahabah and the written records.
3. During the Time of Uthman (644–656 CE)
- Due to differing pronunciations arising in different regions, Caliph Uthman ordered the creation of a standardized Mushaf (manuscript) and sent copies to the major cities.
- Major Cities: Mecca, Medina, Kufa, Basra, Sham (Damascus).
- All other non-official copies were ordered to be destroyed.
4. Preservation of Original Manuscripts (Historical Mushafs)
-
Tashkent Mushaf – Uzbekistan
- This is considered to be an original Mushaf compiled during the time of Uthman.
- It is currently preserved at the Islamic Cultural Center of Tashkent (Telyashayakh Mosque, Tashkent).
- It is believed to have bloodstains on its pages from when Uthman was assassinated while reciting it.
-
Cairo Mushafs – Misr (Egypt)
- Ancient copies of the Quran are preserved in Cairo at Dar al-Makhṭūṭāt (Manuscript House) and Al-Azhar Library.
- These represent copies of the Uthmanic Mushafs or their early manuscript forms.
5. Ongoing Preservation Today
- Memorization (Hifz): Millions of Muslims worldwide have memorized the entire Quran.
- Precise Written Form: Every Quranic copy globally is based on the Uthmanic Mushaf.
- Tajweed and Qira'at (rules of recitation): These have been meticulously preserved by scholars through generations.
Conclusion
The ancient Quranic manuscripts in Tashkent and Cairo are invaluable historical evidence for the pristine preservation of the Quranic text. They affirm that the Quran has been protected word for word and letter for letter without alteration.
Sure, here is a summary of the article you requested:
This article describes a folio from the "Tashkent Qur'an," one of the oldest surviving Qur'an manuscripts, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The folio, dating from the late 8th to early 9th century, is written in an early version of the kufic script, lacking diacritical marks and with limited illumination.
The article mentions that the origin of the manuscript is uncertain, but it has been attributed to Cairo, Egypt; Damascus, Syria; or Sana'a, Yemen. About one third of the original manuscript is housed in the Hast-Imam Library in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The article also discusses the journey of the manuscript, noting it was taken to St. Petersburg in 1868 after the Russian conquest of Central Asia and later returned to Central Asia in 1924. The manuscript has been the subject of extensive paleographic research, providing valuable insight into early kufic Qur'an manuscripts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired the folio in 2004.
Quranic Predictions come True.
1. Victory of the Romans Over the Persians (Surah Ar-Rum 30:2-4)
The Prediction:
📖 "The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land. But after their defeat, they will overcome (the Persians) within a few years (بِضْعِ سِنِينَ - bid‘a sinīn)."
🔹 (Surah Ar-Rum 30:2-4)
Historical Context:
- In 614 CE, the Persians defeated the Romans and captured Jerusalem.
- The Romans were so weak that people thought they would never recover.
- The Quran, however, predicted that the Romans would win again within a few years (3-9 years).
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- In 622 CE (8 years later), the Romans, under Emperor Heraclius, began a counterattack.
- By 624-625 CE, they defeated the Persians and regained their lost territories.
- This happened exactly within the Quranic timeframe of "بِضْعِ سِنِينَ" (3-9 years).
👉 Astonishing Fact: No human in that era could have predicted this turnaround!
2. The Protection of the Quran (Surah Al-Hijr 15:9)
The Prediction:
📖 "Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption)."
🔹 (Surah Al-Hijr 15:9)
How It Came True:
- Over 1,400 years, the Quran has remained unchanged in its original Arabic text.
- Despite various attacks, no one has successfully altered it.
- Modern manuscript evidence (e.g., Sana’a Manuscripts) confirms that the Quran today is identical to the one revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
👉 Unlike previous scriptures, the Quran remains completely preserved, fulfilling the prophecy.
3. The Preservation of Pharaoh’s Body (Surah Yunus 10:92)
The Prediction:
📖 "Today, We will save your body so that you may be a sign for those who come after you."
🔹 (Surah Yunus 10:92)
Historical Context:
- The Pharaoh of Moses (Fir’awn) drowned while chasing Prophet Musa (Moses) and the Israelites.
- The Quran predicted that his body would be preserved as a sign for future generations.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- In the late 19th century, the mummified body of Pharaoh Merneptah (believed to be the Pharaoh of Moses) was discovered in Egypt.
- Today, it is displayed in the Cairo Museum.
- His preserved body remains a sign, as the Quran stated over 1,400 years ago.
👉 No one at that time knew that Egyptian mummification preserved bodies for thousands of years!
4. The Defeat of Abu Lahab (Surah Al-Masad 111:1-5)
The Prediction:
📖 "May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he! He will be burned in a fire of blazing flames..."
🔹 (Surah Al-Masad 111:1-5)
Historical Context:
- Abu Lahab, Prophet Muhammad's uncle, was one of Islam's greatest enemies.
- This Surah (chapter) was revealed about 10 years before he died.
- It predicted that he would never accept Islam and would die as a disbeliever.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- Despite living for 10 more years, Abu Lahab never accepted Islam.
- He died a horrible death due to a disease that made people avoid his body.
- If he had faked conversion to Islam, he could have disproved the Quran – but he never did!
👉 This was an open challenge, but he fulfilled the prophecy exactly as the Quran predicted.
5. The Spread of Islam (Surah An-Nur 24:55, Surah Al-Fath 48:28)
The Prediction:
📖 "Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds that He will certainly grant
them succession (power) on earth."

🔹 (Surah Al-Fath 48:28)
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- At the time of this revelation, Muslims were weak and oppressed in Makkah.
- However, Islam soon spread rapidly across the Arabian Peninsula, then to Africa, Asia, and Europe.
- Today, Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, fulfilling the Quran’s promise.
👉 A small group of persecuted Muslims grew into a global force, just as the Quran predicted.
6. The Conquest of Makkah (Surah Al-Fath 48:27)
The Prediction:
📖 "Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Ka'bah) in security, if Allah wills..."
🔹 (Surah Al-Fath 48:27)
Historical Context:
- When this verse was revealed, the Muslims were still weak and had just faced the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
- Makkah was under the control of Quraysh, and Muslims were not allowed to enter.
Fulfillment of the Prediction:
- Just two years later in 630 CE, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions peacefully entered Makkah and took control of the Ka'bah.
