Scripture

A divine Scripture, revealed by God, to a prophet of God to deliver to a people, contains the Law of God and the guidance by which the people should follow to earn God's redemption.

The Quran stresses the fact that the Law of God is unchanging (33:62, 35:43, 48:23) and that the only religion decreed by God to mankind is Islam (Submission to God) (see 3:19, 42:13). Essentially, if there is only one religion decreed by God there must be one "Truth". Do we conclude that there should be one Revelation? The answer to this question is that "Truth" and "Revelation" are not absolutely equivalent terms. Since Truth is an absolute term, it is situated independent of form, whereas revelations are relative to time, people and place, and thus require a form. To speak of form is to speak of diversity and thus plurality.

The Quran speaks of numerous Scriptures revealed across various times. It is the Prophets of God who are given the Scriptures and who are assigned the task of delivering it to their people:

The people used to be one nation, then God sent the prophets as bearers of news and as warners, and He brought the Scriptures down with them with truth to judge among the people in their differences. 2:213

The Quran lists 20 prophets, with 2 of them (Moses and Aaron) receiving the same Scripture. Therefore, the total number of Scriptures sent to mankind is 19, with the Quran being the 19th and last Scripture.

All Scriptures except the Quran have been badly corrupted, with most of them totally lost. However, God promised that the Quran shall be preserved (see 15:9). The preservation of the Quran is guaranteed through an intricate mathematical structure based on the number 19. By means of this structure, the slightest alteration or corruption can be immediately detected.
