The reason Allah took upon Himself the preservation of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another questioner, Sa'id Salih from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, upon whom be the best of prayers and the most perfect of peace. He asks: Why did Allah the Exalted take upon Himself the preservation of the Noble Qur'an, while He did not do so for the other books? And what is meant by its preservation in His saying, the Exalted: "And We are its preservers"?
Answer:
Yes, Allah took upon Himself the preservation of this Qur'an from tampering, alteration, or substitution; because it is the book that remains until the Hour occurs, as a proof against the community, and a proof for them so that they act upon it and stand firm upon it, and a proof against the one who opposes it. He took upon Himself its preservation. As for the previous books, Allah entrusted their preservation to the rabbis and monks, and they lost them. This is part of the trial and test that Allah entrusted their preservation to them as a trial and test for them, and they lost the trust. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
