According to Islam, all genuine revelations come from One and The Same
Source, namely ALLAH. Allah does not change His own word. Rather, people
do, and because of this fact, Allah continued to send messenger after
messenger. In a sense, the new (undistorted) message replaces the
old (distorted) message. However, if you were able to compare the new
(undistorted) message with the old (undistorted) message, you would
notice that they are the same and represent the truth. 

With the Qur'an, Allah Promised to be the Guardian of His
Own Word to the Day of Judgement, and up to this date, not a single iota
has been added to or removed from the Qur'an. The Qur'an therefore 
supercedes all previous messages since these are all to some degree
distorted.
