Concept:Preserving the Qur'ān through memorization, recording, and compilation guaranteed that it remained unchanged and genuine.
Explanation:The Qur'ān was initially preserved through two means: the memorization of the companions and its recording on materials such as parchment, bone, and palm leaves.
After the Prophet's death, Caliph Abu Bakr ordered the collection of the Qur'ān into a single manuscript.
Later, Caliph Uthman standardized the text and sent official copies to major Islamic centres.
These efforts ensured that no verse was lost and no conflicting or foreign words entered the revelation.
They also guaranteed that Muslims today recite exactly the same text that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Thus, the process of memorization and compilation proved that the Qur'ān is the unaltered and original word of Allah.
This establishes the Qur'ān's authenticity as a divinely preserved scripture.
