The Written Quran
One of the common misunderstandings regarding the Quran that needs to be put to rest is that the Quran was originally and predominately an oral recitation and later converted to a written form. This falsity is often repeated by historians, Orientalists, and scholars and is commonly propagated by the Muslim masses. Some go so far as to claim that during the prophet’s life, there was no written Quran. If such an understanding is to be accepted, this would imply that the written Quran was not part of the divine revelation. This understanding is inconsistent with logic, history, and, most importantly, the verses of the Quran.
