The Qur'an is claimed to be a revelation from [[Allah]] to [[Muhammad]] through the Angel [[Gabriel]]. It was revealed to Muhammad in stages, taking 23 years to reach its completion. | The Qur'an is claimed to be a revelation from [[Allah]] to Prophet [[Muhammad]] through the Angel [[Gabriel]].

At no time during Muhammad's life did he ever order these alleged revelations to be compiled into a single book.<ref name="Abu Bakr">"''...Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'an be collected." I said to 'Umar, "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" 'Umar said, "By Allah, that is a good project...''" - {{Bukhari|6|61|509}}</ref> If Muhammad was, as he claimed, a messenger to all mankind, it is perplexing as to why he never gave thought to the preservation of his message. | At no time during Muhammad's life did he ever order these alleged revelations to be compiled into a single book.<ref name="Abu Bakr">"''...Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'an be collected."

Some Muslims argue that this verse was the last verse revealed. If that is so, why then is it not placed at the conclusion? This proves that Muslims have changed the words from their right places, and according to the Qur'an, that is ''Tahreef'' (Corruption). | Some Muslims argue that this verse was the last verse revealed.

The first surah to be revealed was al-Alak, yet it is surah [[al-Fatiha]] which we find at the beginning of the Qur'an. Instead, Muslims have placed the first chapter to be revealed (al-Alaq), as chapter 96, towards the end of the Qur'an. | The first surah to be revealed was al-Alak, yet it is surah [[al-Fatiha]] which we find at the beginning of the Qur'an.

How is this ''not'' the changing of words from their right places? This is indeed 'Tahreef'. Muslims have not arranged the surahs chronologically. They have took it upon themselves to organize the [[revelations]] instead of Allah completing this task himself. | How is this ''not'' the changing of words from their right places?
