What   we have today in our hands is the mushaf of Muhammad.[8]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Kenneth Cragg describes the   transmission of the Quran from the time of revelation to today as occurring   in <em>\u201can unbroken living sequence of devotion.\u201d<\/em>[9] Schwally concurs that:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cAs far as the various pieces of   revelation are concerned, we may be confident that their text has been   generally transmitted exactly as it was found in the Prophet\u2019s legacy.\u201d[10]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The historical credibility of the   Quran is further established by the fact that one of the copies sent out by   the Caliph Uthman is still in existence today.\u00a0 It lies in the Museum of   the City of Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Central Asia.[11] According to Memory of the World Program, UNESCO, an arm of the United   Nations, \u2018<em>it

facsimile of the mushaf in   Tashkent is available at the Columbia University Library in the US.[13] This copy is proof that   the text of the Quran we have in circulation today is identical with that of   the time of the Prophet and his companions.\u00a0 A copy of the mushaf sent   to Syria (duplicated before a fire in 1310AH\/1892CE destroyed the Jaami\u2019   Masjid where it was housed) also exists in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul[14],   and an early manuscript on gazelle parchment exists in Dar al-Kutub   as-Sultaniyyah in Egypt.\u00a0 More ancient manuscripts from all periods of   Islamic history found in the Library of Congress in Washington, the Chester   Beatty Museum in Dublin (Ireland) and the London Museum have been compared   with those in Tashkent, Turkey and Egypt, with results confirming that there   have not been any changes in the text from its original time of writing.[15]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Institute for Koranforschung,   for example, in the University of Munich (Germany), collected over 42,000   complete or incomplete ancient copies of the Quran.\u00a0 After around fifty   years of research, they reported that there was no variance between the various   copies, except the occasional mistakes of the copyist which could easily be   ascertained.\u00a0 This Institute was unfortunately destroyed by bombs during   WWII.[16]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Thus, due to the efforts of the   early companions, with God\u2019s assistance, the Quran as we have it today is   recited in the same manner as it was revealed.\u00a0 This makes it the only   religious scripture that is still completely retained and understood in its   original language.\u00a0 Indeed, as Sir William Muir states, <em>\u201cThere is   probably no other book in the world which has remained twelve centuries (now   fourteen) with so pure a text.\u201d<\/em>[17]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The evidence above confirms God\u2019s   promise in the Quran:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cVerily, We have revealed the   Reminder, and verily We shall preserve it.\u201d (Quran 15:9)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Quran has been
