Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the first question of this evening, the questioner asks: What is your advice to one who claims the distortion of the Qur'an and asserts that it contains verses that were not written down, such as the verse of guardianship? Is he declared a disbeliever for this?
Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has informed us, and He is the most truthful of speakers, that He has preserved the Qur'an from distortion and protected it from alteration and change. He said (Glorified and Exalted is He):[Al-Hijr 15:9] Therefore, no one will be able to distort, alter, or change this Qur'an. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Qur'an is preserved, and praise be to Allah for His preservation of it; no one will ever be able to harm it.
