Preservation of Divine Revelation: An Islamic Perspective

Abstract

The teachings of Islam are derived primarily from the divine revelation of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. In Islam, divine revelation is immune from any deficiencies and weaknesses. Up to now, there are segments in Muslim society which doubts the perfection of the divine revelation from any manipulation. This is proven with the emergence of anti-Hadith groups which rejected the Sunnah as the source of Islamic teachings. Therefore, the concept of preservation of divine revelation is particularly relevant for further discussion. In doing so, the method of content analysis of classical as well as contemporary references is applied. The findings have affirmed the existence of clear textual evidence affirming the preservation of divine revelation. Apart from that, three principles have also been identified as essential for every Muslim to correctly understand this concept.
