The Qur’an is the literal word of God, which He revealed to His Prophet Muhammad r through the Angel Gabriel. It was memorized by Muhammad r, who then
dictated it to his Companions. They, in
turn, memorized it, wrote it down, and
reviewed it with the Prophet Muham-
mad r. Moreover, the Prophet Mu-
hammad r reviewed the Qur’an with
the Angel Gabriel once each year and
twice in the last year of his life. From
the time the Qur’an was revealed, un-
til this day, there has always been a
huge number of Muslims who have
memorized all of the Qur’an, letter by letter. Some of them have even been able to memorize all of the Qur’an by the age of ten. Not one letter of the Qur’an has been changed over the centuries.
