Thus its authenticity is unblemished, and is its preservation is seen as the fulfillment of God’s promise: Sir William Muir noted, “There is probably in the world no other book which has remained (fourteen) centuries with so pure a text.” The Quran was written down during the lifetime and under the supervision of the Prophet, who himself was unlettered. One of the most important characteristics of the Quran is that it remains today, the only holy book which has never changed it has remained free from any and all adulterations. “And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember then is there anyone that will receive admonition?” (Quran 54:17)

This latter aspect has played an important role not only in the Quran’s preservation, but in the spiritual life of Muslims as well. Due to its unique style of language, the Quran is not only highly readable, but also relatively easy to remember. The Quran’s language is indeed sublime, its recitation moving, as one non-Muslim scholar noted, “it was like the cadence of my heartbeat”. “Or do they say he forged it? Say: Bring then a chapter like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can, beside God, if it be you speak the truth.” (Quran 10:38) The Quran is inimitable it cannot be simulated or copied, and God Almighty challenges mankind to pursue such an endeavor if he thinks he can:

It is composed in a style so unique, that it cannot be deemed either poetry or prose, but somehow a mixture of both. The Quran was revealed in Arabic, to Prophet Muhammad, over a period of twenty-three years. It is no less than an Inspiration sent down to him.” (Quran 53:3-4) “He (Muhammad) does not speak of his own desire. The Prophet himself had no role in authoring the Quran, he was merely a Messenger, repeating the dictates of the Divine Creator: It was revealed by God Almighty through Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. The Quran, to the Muslim, is the irrefutable, inimitable Word of God. If one were to ask any Muslim to depict it, most likely they would offer similar words. This is how the German scholar, Muhammad Asad, once described the Quran. The ultimate manifestation of God’s grace for man, the ultimate wisdom, and the ultimate beauty of expression: in short, the word of God.
