Quran is the only book memorized by millions Proof of The Preservation of the Quran Quran is the only book, religious or secular, on the face of this planet that has been completely memorized by millions. Proof of The Preservation of the Quran We* (Allah) have, without doubt, send down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption) (Quran - Chapter 15, Verse 9). *(We is the plural of Majesty, and not the Christian plural of trinity) Quran is the only book, religious or secular, on the face of this planet that has been completely memorized by millions. ...Imagine this scenario: A professor gives a three hour lecture to his students. Imagine still that none of the students memorized this speech of the professor or wrote it down. Now forty years after that speech, if these same students decided to replicate professors complete speech word for word, would they be able to do it? Obviously not. Because the only two modes of preservation historically is through writing and memory. Therefore, for any claimants to proclaim that their scripture is preserved in purity, they have to provide concrete evidence that the Scripture was written in its entirety AND memorized in its entirety from the time it was revealed to our time, in a continuous and unbroken chain. ..Prophet Muhammad (S): The First Memorizer It was in this oral society that Prophet Muhammad (S) was born in Mecca in the year 570 C.E. At the age of 40, he started receiving divine Revelations from the One God, Allah, through Archangel Gabriel. This process of divine revelations continued for about 22.5 years just before he passed away. Prophet Muhammad (S) miraculously memorized each revelation and used to proclaim it to his Companions. Angel Gabriel used to refresh the Quranic memory of the Prophet each year. ...Many Quranic memorizers (Qurra) were present during the lifetime of the Prophet and afterwards through out the then Muslim world. Prophets Companions: The First Generation Memorizers Prophet Muhammad (S) encouraged his companions to learn and teach the Quran: The most superior among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Quran and teach it. [4] Some of the companions who memorized the Quran were: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Ibn Masud, Abu Huraira, Abdullah bin Abbas, Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As, Aisha, Hafsa, and Umm Salama. [5] Abu Bakr, the first male Muslim to convert to Islam used to recite the Quran publicly in front of his house in Makka.
