The Magnificent Services of The Just Imam, The Promised Messiah — Page 20
Magnificent Services of the Just Imam, the Promised Messiah as , to Reform the Mutual Controversies and Distorted Beliefs of the Muslims [ 20 ] unfortunately have been authored by the Muslim scholars themselves. For example, the Quran has no doubt in it, yet some people believe that some parts of the Quran have been abrogated. In reality, this amounts to a great attack on the Quran because the possibility of being obsolete opens up opportunities for various scholars to declare verses abrogated based on their own motives and interests. It would be a matter of which ones and how many verses are acceptable or unacceptable to them. Exclusion of even one verse compromises the credibility of the Holy Quran. The Promised Messiah as was the first person who wrote clearly that the Holy Quran was intact from day one and not even an iota of it has been abrogated nor can it ever be abrogated in the future. He asserted that it was the perfect book, which would remain intact forever. While the Promised Messiah as made the claim about the integrity of the Holy Quran, scholars who opposed him touted false theories that had become prevalent by their time. Let me present some of those examples. The following is mentioned in Tafs i r Sa f i , a prominent book among the Shia commentaries: The original Quran is not available. There are ten parts missing from the current version while some verses have been edited or changed.
