«古兰经» 是一部保存完好而未遭损坏的真主启示录, 这对以往十四个世纪之间拒不接受的整个世界来说是一个公开的挑战。充满敌意的批评家尽力地挑剔经典的纯洁性。但是这方面的种种努力无非得出一个不可避免的结论----------虽然令人不快----------圣先知穆罕默德在1400年以前给世界带来的经典, 一字不改地传给了我们 (米尔, Muir)。正像下一节经文所表明的, 只有那些心地纯洁的信者才能得到这精神宝库, 在这个意义上说来, «古兰经» 也是一部保存完好的经典。这节经文的意思也可以是: 体现在 «古兰经» 中的理想和原则都铭记在天经中, 即这些理想和原则与自然规律完全一致。就像自然规律一样, 它们永远不会更改, 不能加以蔑视而不受到惩罚。这一节经文的意思也可以说, «古兰经» 被保存在 “安拉赐给人的本性” 中 (30:31)。人性是以基本真理为基础的, 并赋有能力达到正确的判断。一个诚实地使人性发挥作用的人能很容易认识到 «古兰经» 的真理。
چُھپی ہوئی کتاب سے مراد فطرت ہے کیونکہ قرآن کریم کی تعلیم فطرت کے مطابق ہے اسی لئے ہر انسان جو ضدنہ کرے اسے ماننے پر مجبور ہے قرآن کریم میں صاف لکھا ہے فِطْرَتَ اللّٰہِ الَّتِیْ فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَیْھَا (روم: ۳۱) یعنی تم اللہ تعالیٰ کی پیدا کی ہوئی فطرت کو اختیار کرو جس کے مطابق اللہ تعالیٰ نے انسان کو پیدا کیا ہے۔ یعنی انسان کی فطرت میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے بعض سچائیاں رکھی ہیں اور قوت فیصلہ رکھی ہے جب انسان اس سے کام لیتا ہے تو قرآن مجید کی سچائیاں اس پر ظاہر ہو جاتی ہیں کیونکہ وہ ایک چُھپی ہوئی کتاب یعنی فطرت انسانی میں موجود ہیں۔

That the Qur’an is a well preserved and well protected Divinely revealed Book is an open challenge to the whole world which has remained unaccepted during the past fourteen centuries. No effort has been spared by its hostile critics to find fault with the purity of its text. But all efforts in this direction have led to but one inevitable—albeit unpalatable for its enemies— result that the Book which the Holy Prophet Muhammad gave to the world fourteen hundred years ago has come down to us without the change of a single vowel (Muir). The Qur’an is also a well preserved Book in the sense that only those believers who are pure of heart can have access to its spiritual treasures as the next verse signifies. The verse may also signify that the ideals and principles embodied in the Qur’an are inscribed in the book of nature, i.e. they are in complete harmony with natural laws. Like the laws of nature they are immutable and unalterable and cannot be defied with impunity. Or, the verse may mean that the

That the Quran is a well-preserved and well-protected Divinely revealed Book is an open challenge to the whole world which has remained unaccepted during the past fourteen centuries. No effort has been spared by its hostile critics to find fault with the purity of its text. But all efforts in this direction have led to but one inevitable—albeit unpalatable for its enemies—result that the Book which the Holy Prophet Muhammad gave to the world fourteen hundred years back has come down to us without the change of a single vowel. The Quran stands unique in this respect among all revealed Scriptures. Books other than the Quran have been interpolated, mutilated and tampered with. And this was natural, because their teachings were meant for particular peoples and for limited periods of time. But the Quran, being the Last Divine Message for the whole of mankind, should naturally have been vouchsafed full, complete and eternal protection. Elsewhere, the Quran has made the firm assertion that it enjoys Divine protection: "Verily, We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We are its Guardian" (15:10). The verse under comment along with 15:10 constitutes not only a forceful challenge but also a mighty prophecy that the Quranic text shall remain intact, which prophecy has been remarkably fulfilled. What adds weight and force to the prophecy is the fact that it was made at a time when even the art of writing had not much developed and that it was addressed to a people who did not even know how to read and write. "There is probably in the world no other book", says William Muir, "which has remained twelve centuries with so pure a text...There is otherwise every security, internal and external, that we possess the text which Muhammad himself gave forth and used...To compare their pure text with the various readings of our Scriptures, is to compare things between which there is no analogy."
"Efforts of European scholars to prove the existence of later interpolations in the Quran have failed" (Enc. Brit.).
The verse may also signify that the ideals and principles embodied in the Quran are inscribed in the book of nature, i.e. they are in complete harmony with natural laws. Like the laws of nature they are immutable and unalterable and cannot be defied with impunity. Or it may mean that the Quran is preserved in "the nature which God has bestowed upon man" (30:31). Human nature is based upon fundamental truths and has been endowed with the faculty to arrive at true judgements. A person who honestly calls human nature into action can easily recognize the truth of the Quran.
