There are people on Earth who believe that if anything is removed or added in the quran the internal code (code-19) of the book will be broken. So far they have found two verses of quran that were added later 9128-129. To find out about these people just google. thanks

now the discussion is taking some what interesting turn, rather than few empty claims .. i never knew dat .. only thing is been fed to me that rashad khalifa was a kaffir..

How did you arrive at this conclusion that Quran=God's word, and The Quran=100%

exactly what i want to know! seems that its been already decided and agreed upon by all , that Quran is God's word! and the proof is the reading itself,wah?
what if i pick up a random chapter(surah) and add one line of classical arab poetry , some where in between , would some one be able to identify just by reading it that which words are added i.e not from God , provided he or she hasnt memorized all ?

chill man , just here to seek and learn. i am not here to make any scholarly statement or to refute any 1, on the other hand i am open to any logical arguement or statement ... As far as the superiority and purity of the text itself on the whole goes towards establishing it being a divine revelation , of course it does , but then again wasnt it possible for any body through out the 1400 years to insert certain verses if not atleast words here and there and then all it takes is few words to completely change the meaning of a line or sentence(note iam not talking of producing a thing like or equal to Quran)
plz do contribute but not with arrogance

ali,

I have been going through the articles on this site for quite a while and must confess that alot of the things i find here are contrary to the beliefs i have been brought up with. From one of the posts i found the following information regarding Quran.

The Quran is been passed via a physical book , first penned and arranged by the prophet himself ( 255, 16101-102),and also with hundered and thousand memorizing it word by word , therefore to give any credit to ?others? so as to raise the level of their legitimacy is to undermine the work of God and His messenger.

For me
That "the Quran is been passed via a physical book" is merely a claim. This claim needs independent support. You cite verses from the Book itself to support your claim about it. It is not acceptable. Suppose somone believes that the rulers form the third century AH got the Book compiled and then inserted in it verses which claim that it was revealed by God and compiled and disseminated by the Prophet what would be your rebuttal? In the enquiry of historicity of any written record the internal evidence in the support of the claims of the record such as that you provided (based on 255, 16101-102) is not valid. However, if internal proofs go against such a claim they are considered valid.

Hope some one can shed light and try to clarify to me that in what way the preservence of Quran is different from the Hadith. What is the proof that it hasnt been temperd with just like the traditions and histroy (which we can only trace up to 200 AH).

Ali
