Quick fact: Allah has promised to protect the Quran in Surah Al-Hijr (15:9), where He declares, "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its guardian."

Explanation

In Surah Al-Hijr, verse 9, Allah makes an explicit divine guarantee to safeguard the Quran from any corruption, alteration, or loss. This verse is unique because no other scripture was given such a promise of preservation by Allah Himself. The Arabic word "Al-Dhikr" (the Reminder) in this verse refers to the Quran, and "Lahafizun" means "We will certainly protect it." This assurance is understood to cover the text, recitation, and meaning of the Quran, which remains unchanged since its revelation over 1400 years ago.

Good to know

Surah Al-Hijr is the 15th chapter of the Holy Quran and is a Makki surah consisting of 99 verses. The promise of protection in verse 9 is considered a miraculous aspect of the Quran, as it has indeed remained preserved in its original Arabic text without any alteration, unlike previous scriptures such as the Torah and the Gospel which underwent changes over time. This verse is frequently cited in discussions about the authenticity and divine origin of the Quran.
