The preservation of the Qur'an is one of the most significant subjects in Islamic studies and one of the most frequently discussed topics in conversations about Islam.

Critics, however, often question whether the Qur'an has changed over time, whether verses were lost, or whether different versions once existed.
This article examines the Qur'anic claim of preservation, the methods used by the first Muslim community to preserve the revelation, the compilation of the Qur'an during the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Uthman ibn Affan, early Qur'anic manuscripts, the Islamic manuscript tradition, and modern academic scholarship. It distinguishes between authentic historical evidence, scholarly interpretation, and common misconceptions while presenting the topic within its historical context.
