Surah: Al-Hijr (9)
We Have Sent Down the Reminder and We Are Its Guardians — A Historical Divine Guarantee
إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
— الحجر الآية 9
Verse: "We have sent down the Reminder and We are its guardians." (15:9) — "Indeed We" — emphatic plural. The repetition = double affirmation. Historical evidence: the Quran is the only revealed book unchanged — preserved in millions of hearts and identical copies across 1400 years. The miracle is in its preservation, not only its descent. Lesson: whoever denies Allah preserved His book has denied this explicit verse.
