By: Ayatullah Syed Abul Qasim El-Khui
Translated from Arabic by: Mulla Asgharali M. M. Jaffer
The book is a selection of two chapters from Ayatullah Syed Abul Qasim Al-Khoei's famous work "AL-BAYAN FI TAFSIR AL-QURAN" under the subjects of TAHREEF and COLLECTION OF QURAN". The book was acclaimed as a masterpiece by Shia as well as Sunni scholars, leaving no doubt in the minds of its readers that Quran as a great force binding all the Muslims together has come to stay forever. While Syed Al-Khoei enumerates and discusses all the reports from Shia as well as Sunni sources, he very ably concludes that according to the reliable and authentic traditions, Quran has remained pure, pristine and unprofaned. His arguments proving that the belief in TAHREEF goes against Al-Kitab (Quran) and the Sunnah, Al-Aql and Ijma, are compelling and persuasive. His analysis of all those reports, which indicate desultory, unmethodical and haphazard later day collection of Quran leaves no shred of doubt that they are false and fabricated.
