Evidence on the integrity of the Quran

Question

What is the evidence that the Quran has been preserved against distortion?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

Evidence of the preservation of the Quran against distortion is found in the verse (which means): {Indeed, it is We who sent down the Quran and indeed, We will be its guardian.}[Quran, 15:9] The Quran, according to consensus of the Muslim scholars  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them has been integrally preserved against all kinds of distortion. Anyone who claims the contrary is considered a disbeliever.

Allaah Knows best.
