there is always something unknowable by the ordinary mind and
ordinary thinking. For this reason, no attempts to create an artificial
synthetic religion by intellectual methods have ever led, or can ever
lead anywhere.(5)
Belief in God and belief in His Revelation, are therefore,
fundamental to deen. Rejection of Revelation impoverishes deen, so
that it ceases to be a living force in human life. The Muslims believe
that the Qur'an enshrines the final Revelation. They believe that the
Qur'an is the only revealed Book which has never been tampered
with. It has suffered no excisions or interpolations and the word of
God is preserved in it as delivered to Muhammad (PBUH). And this
belief of theirs is supported by historical evidence.
