Muslims falsely claims that the Quran was written by Allah in Heaven and sent down to Muhammad, and that it has been perfectly preserved as a single text without any alterations.
If the Quran was always 'perfectly preserved', why was it only canonised in 1984/5?
The Quran was supposedly compiled during the time of the Prophet Muhammad and the Rightly Guided (Rashidun) Caliphs in the 7th century AD.
Why have there been multiple efforts over the centuries to establish authoritative versions and readings of the text? This implies numerous unauthorised readings.
Which is odd, since it's been perfectly preserved, we are told?
Mohammed received the Quran, as written by Allah on the tablets in paradise, transmitted by the angel Jibberish, copied by his scribes, and literally nothing has changed, not a word, not a comma, not dot.
Yet, there are Multiple Canonical Readings. Scholars argue today over what was the Uthmanic Codex, because literally nobody can show you an original Mohammedan Codex.
Despite its perfect preservation, the Quran has been transmitted through multiple canonical readings or "qira'at" that were accepted by early Islamic scholars, and by Muslims today.
Let’s look at these variant Qurans that are all identical, except for being different.
