the events which occurred during the period of the revelation of the
Quran have not been mingled with the Divine Verses, as is the case
with the Bible. The Quran is the pure word of God. Not a single word
therein is not divine. Not a single word has been deleted from its
text. The Book has been handed down to our age in its complete and
original form since the time of Prophet Muhammad. From the time the
Book began to be revealed, the Holy Prophet had dictated its text to
the scribes. Whenever some Divine Message was revealed, the Holy
Prophet would call a scribe and dictate its words to him. The written
text was then read out to the Holy Prophet, who, having satisfied
himself that the scribe has committed no error of recording, would put
the manuscript in safe custody. The Holy Prophet used to instruct the
scribe about the sequence in which a revealed message was to be placed
in a particular Surah (chapter). In this manner, the Holy Prophet
continued to arrange the text of the Quran in systematic order till
the end of the chain of revelations. Again, it was ordained from the
beginning of Islam that a recitation of the Holy Quran must be an
integral part of worship. Hence the illustrious Companions would
commit the Divine verses to memory as soon as they were revealed. Many
of them learned the whole text and a far larger number had memorized
different portions of it.
