CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
A.    THE QUR’AN 
The Qur’an is the book of Allah. Every word of the Qur’an is the word of Allah. It is a book of Guidance. It is preserved in its original form. Not a single word of it has been changed or lost. It is found today exactly as it was revealed to the prophet Muhammad  (p.b.u.h.). How was the Qur’an revealed to the prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)? Allah revealed Qur’an through the Angel Gabriel. Gabriel passed on Allah’s words to Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), then Muhammad  (p.b.u.h.) asked his secretary to write down exactly what Gabriel told him.
The revelation was completed over a period of 23 years. Some Muslims learn the whole of the Qur’an by heart, but all Muslims learn parts of the Qur’an by heart. It is preserved through memory as well as writing. It was written down from the very beginning. Allah has given his protection to it and it will always be preserved. Nobody can change it, as was said by Allah, “Allah sent it and will protect it”.
a.      Translation
Al-Qur’an adalah kitab Allah. Setiap kata dalam al-Qur’an adalah firman Allah. Al-Qur’an adalah buku pedoman. Ia terjaga keasliannya. Tidak satu kata pun pernah berubah atau hilang. Al-Qur’an saat ini sama persis seperti saat di wahyukan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW. Bagaimana al-Qur’an di wahyukan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW? Allah mewahyukan al-Qur’an melalui malaikat jibril. Jibril menyampaikan firman Allah kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW, lalu Nabi Muhammad SAW meminta juru tulisnya untuk menulis persis seperti yang Jibril katakan padanya.
Proses penurunan al-Qur’an selesai dalam kurun waktu 23 tahun. Beberapa  umat islam hafal keseluruh al-Qur’an, tapi seluruh umat  islam hafal sebagian al-Qur’an. Al-Qur’an terjaga dalam ingatan sebaik dalam tulisan. Hal tersebut sudah tertulis sejak awal. Allah telah memberikan perlindunga-Nya pada al-Qur’an dan al-Qur’an akan selalu terjaga. Tak seorang pun bisa mengubahnya, seperti yang telah difirmankan oleh Allah, “Allah mengirimnya dan akan menjaganya”.
