5. How can I be sure it is REAL?
Quran has no additions, deletions or changes.
Nothing can touch it — yesterday, today, or tomorrow.
People Recieve Guidance from Allah, in two ways:
The words of Almighty God and from Prophets, like Abraham ﷺ, Moses ﷺ, Jesus ﷺ,and Muhammad ﷺ.
These two ways, are always together, hand in hand.
In Muhammad's ﷺ time there were 10,000+ people who memorized the entire Quran (Recitation). Muhammad (peace be upon him), taught them to memorise and resite the entire Quran.
Muhammad ﷺ recited it completely twice, in the last year of his life.
Original Preservation
Many Qurans are on display in the world today. The oldest of these are manuscripts preserved in various collections worldwide, including:
Samarkand Kufic Quran (Tashkent Manuscript), Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the Topkapi Quran, in Topkapi, Museum, Istanbul, Turkey and manuscripts in Birmingham, UK.
Carbon dating shows between 610 & 645 (Exactly the time period when Muhammadﷺ, recieved the revelation).
- Location: The British Library in Birmingham, UK.

- Significance: This is one of the oldest Quranic manuscripts in the world, dating back to the early 600's. It is one of the largest portions of an early Quran, containing over two-thirds of the text.
- Contents: It is written in the Ma'il script, an early form of Arabic calligraphy.
- History: The manuscript was acquired by the British Museum in 1879 from a clergyman who likely purchased it in Egypt.
Abu Bakr who became leader after Muhammad ﷺ, was given a written collection of the Quran, by the scribe, Zaid Bin Thabit.
Umar became leader after Abu Bakr. His daughter, Hafsa, had a writtien form exactly like it was recited.
Hafsa, his daughter, had the original text, now in the Topkope Museum, Istanbul, Turkey.
Uthman bn Afan, was the next leader, and he sent exact copies out to the Muslim territories, like Uzbekistan, where it remains on display in The Museum of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
These are not just "copies of copies of copies"k, like the Bible and display in England has exactly the same text as the others, on display exact duplications and sent to them from various Muslim territories - these scriptures are still in museums, and another one is in England as well.
All of them are exactly the same. Today many of the Muslims from these areas are still memorizing the Quran.
The Quran was so meticulously preserved because it is the Book of Guidance for all of humanity for all times. That is why it does not address just the Arabs, in whose language it was revealed. In fact Arabs today do not comprise more than 13% of the Today of Muslims in the world today.
The Quran speaks to "mankind"
Quran speaks to all of mankind on a general basis without regard to race, tribe, color, social position, financial condition or genealogy.
Allah the Almighty says:
"O Mankind! What has seduced you from your Lord so Generous?"
[Noble Quran 82:6]

Quran's Practical Teachings
Teachings of Quran are established by the example of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the good Muslims throughout the ages have endeavored to emulate his teachings both in thought and conduct.
The distinctive approach of the Quran is its instructions aimed at the general welfare of the mankind and are based on the possibilities within his reach.

Quran is Wisdom Conclusive
It neither condemns nor tortures the flesh nor does it neglect the soul.
It does not humanize God, nor does it deify man.
Everything is carefully placed where it belongs in the total scheme of creation.
_________________
1. It obviously is not written in human style (chronological order). Those who claiming the prophet was the author of the Quran are claiming something humanly impossible.
2. Nobody in the 7th century could say such scientific truths as those found in the Quran?
How could he describe the eveloution of the human embryo inside of the uterus - so accurately as we find it now recorded in modern science?
(Dr. Keith Moore's Book on Embryology.
3. Does it make sence, a person (Muhammad ﷺ) known to all for his inability to read or write, and up to the age of forty is remarked only for this honesty and integrity - Then suddenly he writes a book, matchless in literary merit and the whole legion of Arab poets and orators of the highest caliber can't produce?
4. Is it justified to say, Muhammad ﷺ who was known as "Al-Ameen" (trustworthy) in his society would lie about receiving the Quran (recitation) from the Angel Gabriel and then still be able to establish the best human society on the face of the earth - based on truth.
_________________
For sure any sincere, unbiased searcher of truth must come to the conclusion the Quran is a Recitation revealed by Almighty God (Allah is His name in Arabic).
Everyone easily sees how the modern world is coming closer to reality regarding the truth of the Quran.
We appeal to all open minded scholars to study the Quran in the light of the aforementioned points.
We invite you to compare the accuracy of the sciences known to man today and the Quran. Then keep in mind this is the EXACT TEXT used by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over one thousand four hundred years ago.
Surely, any such attempt will convince you the Quran could never have been written by any human being ever.
