Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks about the noble verse in which Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
[Al-Hijr 15:9]


Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'anإِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ
[Al-Hijr 15:9]
meaning the Qur'an was sent down upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) through Gabriel (peace be upon him). And “Indeed, We will be its Guardian” means that Allah has undertaken to preserve it from any addition or subtraction. It remains as Allah sent it down upon His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); no distortion, alteration, or change can reach it.
Because Allah has undertaken to preserve it. As for the previous scriptures, the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and others, Allah entrusted their preservation to the people. He entrusted their preservation to the people. Allah the Exalted said:
by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses theretoبِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوا مِن كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا عَلَيْهِ شُهَدَاءَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
But they betrayed this trust, distorted what Allah sent down, and changed and altered it. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has undertaken to preserve this Qur'an and did not entrust its preservation to anyone, as the previous scriptures were entrusted to their people. Yes.
