God entrusted the protection of previous revelations to the religious leaders, but they failed, while He personally preserves the Quran.

Jamal Badawi argues that the Quran is preserved by God while previous revelations were entrusted to fallible religious leaders who failed in their duty. However, the verse cited does not indicate that the Jews failed to preserve their scriptures; it merely states that they were entrusted with it. This is similar to how the Quran was entrusted to Muslims, who also played a role in its collection and compilation. Badawi's assumption that Allah used infallible men to compile the Quran is not substantiated by evidence. In fact, historical records and Quranic manuscripts show that the Quran has numerous variant readings, indicating that it has not been preserved without alteration. Furthermore, the Quran itself acknowledges attempts to tamper with its message, suggesting that changes occurred even during the Prophet's lifetime. This raises questions about the claim of divine preservation of the Quran compared to previous revelations.
