Al-Israa (The Night Journey)

105. “And, with the truth have We sent it (the Qur’an) down and with the truth it has come down; and We have not sent you except as a Bearer of glad tidings and as a warner.”

The authenticity of the Qur’an has been guaranteed from distortions. The Qur’an has been verily revealed in truth, and the Divine revelation has also been received its destination safely, while, at the same time, the Satans have been unable to do it any harm.

Therefore, once again, the Qur’an calls on the grandeur and glory of this heavenly Book, providing answers to the objections and pretexts of the dissidents.

At first, it says:

“And, with the truth have We sent it (the Qur’an) down…”

At times, one may start doing something, but, because he is limited in his power, he may not be able to finish it up to the end.

However, one who has knowledge of everything, and is capable to fulfill everything he does while he is correctly positioned and ends everything in the right fashion, thus actualizing it to the fullest. For instance, man might sometimes let water out of a spring while it is pure though it might reach the consumption point quite impure for he is unable to preserve it through.

However, he who has command of his job quite well in all respects, he can fill everyone’s jar who is thirsty with pure water.

The Qur’an is just such a Book which has been descended with the truth from the Lord, and He has guarded and protected it in its courses from any point of view, whether be it the stage that Gabriel was the means of revelation and where the recipient has been the Prophet (S) and has been preserved quite well in such a way that the passage of time has even not caused any distortions in it, and will never be distorted, for the Lord has undertaken Himself its preservation.

Thus, this source of ‘pure water’ of the Divine revelation, will remain untouched through to the end of the world.

The verse continues saying:

“…and with the truth it has come down…”

Concluding His statement, He says:

“…and We have not sent you except as a Bearer of glad tidings and as a warner.”

And you have got no right to introduce any changes in the context of the Qur’an.
