Abstract

This study explores how Allah safeguarded the Qur'an, both before and after it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The main sources of this research are prominent tafsir books such as Tafsiir Ibn Kathir, Jaami' Al-Bayan (Ibn Jarir At-Thabari), Al-Jaami' li Ahkam Al-Qur'an (Al-Qurthubi), and Al-Kasysyaf (Az-Zamakhsyari), which provide deep insight into Allah's efforts in maintaining the authenticity of the Qur'an. The history of the Qur'an and other journals are also used as secondary data to strengthen research results. Historically, the Qur'an has been the subject of intense debate, prompting scholars to clarify and discuss issues surrounding the truth and authenticity of the Qur'an. Criticism of the authenticity of the Qur'an also arose long ago and is still relevant today. For example, the Shia view that the Qur'an is incomplete is one of ongoing debate. Therefore, scholars continue to work on writing and producing works that can ease tensions and resolve problems that arise related to the Qur'an. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how the Qur'an is guarded by Allah, as a holy revelation for Muslims. By involving a variety of primary and secondary sources, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of Allah's role in maintaining the sanctity of the Qur'an and how scholars treat and respond to issues related to the truth of the Qur'an. Thus, this research is expected to make a meaningful contribution in enriching our understanding of the Qur'an and strengthening Muslims' belief in the sanctity of Allah's revelation.
