 The above is unlike the New-Testament, Old Testament, Hindu
scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, all were written down AFTER their
main person (founder) left the world, thus the later writers can
interpolate and edit the original sayings.
 Since no other book was memorized and written down as the
Quran, then the check and balance system of correcting the copying
errors is lacking in other scriptures (except the Quran) and resulted in
their defective transmission.
 An altered, defective, less then 100% authentic scripture, cannot be
trusted for our salvation.
 Thus, we can safely set aside all other books for our salvation except
the Quran.
