The memorization, recording and compilation of the Qur’ān ensured its authenticity. The Qur’ān was initially transmitted orally through memorization by the Prophet Muhammad's companions and later recorded in writing during his lifetime. The process of memorization and preservation of the Qur’ān continued after the Prophet's death, with many individuals committing the entire text to memory and passing it on to the next generation. This process of memorization, combined with the early written copies of the Qur’ān, helped to ensure the authenticity of the text. The standardization of the text during the caliphate of Uthman also helped to further safeguard the Qur’ān from errors and alterations. As a result, Muslims today believe that the Qur’ān is the unaltered word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and is therefore the ultimate authority for all aspects of their faith and life.
