Heartfelt Glory of The Quraan

One miracle of the Quraan among many is its protected in its original form and this is because Your Lord mentions:

Take note that to recite this below before reciting the Quraan is necessary and is called (Isti-aa’dhaa)and is a form seeking protection from the accursed who whispers evil

  أَعـوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْـطانِ الرَّجيـم   Transliteration (Au’dhu billahi mina-shaytaanir-rawjeem)

Translation: I seek protection with Allah Ta’aa from the shaytaan(devil), the rejected

Then also it is essential to recite this below when beginning to recite at the beginning of every chapter besides chapter 9 namely Surah Tawbah

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ  Transliteration ( bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem)

Translation: In the name of Allah Ta’laa, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful do we begin

اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا الذِّكۡرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰـفِظُوۡنَ

Translation:

We, Ourselves, have sent down the Dhikr (the Qur’an), and We are there to protect it.

 ( Al-Quran  Surah 15 – Al-Hijr – Ayah 9)

This is the miracle that The Quraan without doubt is the most authentic book in the world and the words of Allah Ta’laa’s messenger Prophet Muhammed ﷺ  and his teachings is also preserved. This is what distinguishes Islams truthful and traditional practices from other religions.
