Person of the Scribe and publisher of Divine Discourse
A book is intellectual property of its Author. In academic circles, Reliability and Accuracy is the first and the foremost consideration and concern for a critical reader of certain book. Accuracy refers to whether the book provides verifiable and reliable factual information. For veracity, authenticity, and reliability it is not the Person of the Author that is important but it is the content that firstly matters.
The second important aspect for evaluation of validity and reliability of a book are questions about the publisher - person relaying the Book verbally and in writing. Authors of great books never choose publisher randomly. The importance of the person chosen to introduce the Book is vital because it is he who will firstly give "life" to Author's book and then is the Intellectual Property - the content which will keep the Book alive in timeline. Relevant questions that need to be addressed about the Person of would be Publisher are firstly, whether he is well known; secondly, does he have political affiliations, leanings, or any specific agenda; thirdly, were he to gain financially from convincing the audience about the ideas and veracity of the Book. These are considered biases that undermine the value and reliability of presented work.
Another related issue is about the license that the publisher has about the intellectual property. Intellectual property is overall term defining creations of the mind, like a book. A publisher may or may not be given the right of copyright and editing the original manuscript of the Book - Intellectual property. It is the form of expression of ideas, choice and arrangement of words. Its violation is called infringement.
The publisher of Grand Qur’ān; Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, the exalted Messenger - spokesperson of Allah, the Supreme Sovereign of Universes, was and is the most well known person in the peninsula of Arabia and later on in the whole of worlds.
