The book provides unique insight into the holy text’s immaculate preservation, as well as exploring many of the accusations leveled against it. The reception of the divine revelations, Prophet Muhammad’s role in disseminating and compiling these verses, and the setting of the text’s final external shape, are scientifically examined alongside such topics as the origins of Arabic, the so-called Mushaf of Ibn Mas’ud, and the strict methodology employed in assembling textual fragments.
Includes full colour illustrations throughout.
