concede equal spiritual import and authority to all, and is thus unfortunate in this
regard.
The Quran however :
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to receive the Holy Quran from his Lord
(Noble & Sublime) by way of revelation. Then, he would memorize it by heart. Then
he would dictate it to his scribes, and recite it to his companions, who would then
help each other memorize it by heart as their prophet had memorized it., for they
were well-known for the quickness of their memorization and the strength of their
memories.
When the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) died, the Holy Quran was completely
memorized in the hearts of many of the companions of Allah's Messenger (pbuh). It
was also fully preserved in writing on whatever materials they could find: bones,
leather, and tree bark. Then, the first caliph, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq collected all of these
materials on which the Quran was written, and after him, the second caliph, Umar
ibn al-Khattab took care of it. However, it was the third caliph, Uthman ibn `Affan
who ordered the transcription of the Holy Quran in a single volume, to be
distributed throughout the lands.
As for the Bible then the Church itself who then systematically altered it from its
origins undertook the ownership of it.
Add do this the conundrum that is the fact that the earliest copy is in Greek a
language that Jesus didn’t even speak how can we consider it the word of God? Add
to this the fact that this copy wasn’t discovered except after 200 years after Jesus
(pbuh).
In fact the oldest manuscript of the Bible is one written in Greek! A language Jesus
did not even speak he did speak Aramaic however a language that only a handful of
people speak now, it therefore makes it very easy to misconstrue the meaning when
translating which is another example of the great inconsistencies in Christianity.
Another problem for the Christians is the fact that there are so many versions of the
Bible and likewise revisions.
As for the Quran.
The Quran is written in language that is alive and spoken by hundreds of millions of
people from Asia, through to Africa and Europe in all the earths continents.
One finds all the Muslims united upon this one scripture.
Unlike the Christians who have numerous versions and revisions.
One also finds the Bible full of footnotes brackets and notes, with alternative
explanations offered there.
