Burn the pages, yes, anyone can do that but no one can ever succeed to burn
The Message...
Allah Himself
has promised to guard the
Qur’an
Allah has promised
in the Qur’an :
"We have,
without doubt, sent down the Message;
and We will assuredly Guard it (from
corruption).
[Al-Qur’an 15:9]

The Message...
For anyone who does not belong to the People of the Book (Ahlul
Kitaab), it will be almost impossible for them to believe that the Holy Qur’an
is the ultimate book of all existing books which superseded all divine books
before its existence; and that it was a divine product of the author of all
authors-God Himself. The Ahlul Kitaab refers to the believers of the Scrolls of
Abraham, Torah, Injeel, Zabur or the Book of Psalms, and the Qur’an; the people
who believed in Adam, Moses, Abraham, Solomon, David, Joseph, Jesus of
Immaculate Mary and Muhammad saw, among other Prophets of Allah. I used limned
to mean as a description in words and not written because the
Qur’an was technically not written. It was revealed by piecemeal through
Archangel Gabriel to the Last Messenger and Seal of all Prophets of God, Nabi
Muhammad, s.a.w., sent as Rahmatan lil Aalameen, as A Mercy to the Whole
Universe.
Briefly, the Quran was revealed in Arabic to the Prophet Mohammad in 610 CE over 22 years. In the first twelve years of the revelation, the Prophet was living in Mecca. Persecution then forced him to leave to Al-Madina, in what is known as the Hijra (immigration), where he lived the last ten years.The 114 chapters of the Holy Quran are not listed in the chronological order of their revelation. This special order, however, was inspired to the Prophet by Allah, so it is a genuine quality of the Qur'an. Each chapter is described as either Meccan or Madinite, depending on whether the majority of its verses were revealed before or after the Hijra.
The Mother of the Qur’an is the Opening Chapter, the Sura al
Fatihah; the Verse of the Throne is the Ayatul Kursi; and the Heart of the
Qur’an is the Sura Yaa Sin. The Qur’an, consisting of 114 chapters(Surah) and
6,236 verses &ayat), is an elixir to all physical and spiritual maladies.
It guides mankind about marriage, reproduction, sexuality, human rights, wills,
inheritance, business and legal transaction, piety, ethics and morality in
times of war and peace, as well as science.
"He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning) [Muhkam]; they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical [Mutashabeh]. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: 'We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:' and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding." (Ali-Imran 3:7, Yusuf Ali translation of the Qur'an)
