    I just want to give a few notes on this part. First of all, Allah promises
 in the Quran that the Quran
will not be altered until the day of judgement. So, this is one of the miracles
 of the Quran. A few years ago,
there was a group of people(not muslim) altered the Quran, printed it, and star
ted to distribute to the 
Muslims in order to deviate the Muslims from the true Quran. However, with Alla
h's permission, just a few days
after that, the conspiracy was known to all the people and those books were des
troyed. 
    This is just one of the miracles of the Quran. There are a lot more. I give
you two examples:
  i. the stages of baby in the mother's womb: Al-Quran has described vividly th
is process 14 centuries ago,
     and just proved by the scienties a few decades ago. Every single stage is 
very exact. The technology of
     14 centuries ago would not allow people to describe this process. Let's gl
orify Allah: The Quran is 
     truely the Creator's word.
  ii. Quran predicted that the Roman will defeat the Persian, and it happened 
a few years after that.

     And they are a lot more miracles in the Quran when it describes the unive
rse, the sea, the mountain,
human beings, the sky, the earth, the birds, etc. It is really God's word. The 
Quran is not a joke.  All the
verses are full of wisdom and guidance. If you want to talk to Allah, perform s
olat(prayer), and if you want
Allah to talk to you, read the Quran.
