                 Let us examine the above hadiths that are full of countless slan-
             ders against the Qur'an, our Prophet (pbuh) and the Companions:

                 First of all, God explicitly states in verses that the Qur'an is a
             Book under Divine protection:

                 It is We Who have sent down the Reminder and We Who will
                 preserve it. (Qur'an, 15:9)
                 It truly is a Noble Qur'an in a well protected Book. (Qur'an,
                 56:77-78)

                 Its collection and recitation are Our affair. (Qur'an, 75:17)
                 God has explicitly stated that He is the protector of the Qur'an
             and that it is He Who brought the verses of the Qur'an together and

             preserves them. We learn from the Qur'an itself that it, the final rev-
             elation sent down, is under Divine protection. Since the Qur'an is the
             Final Book, it will be instrumental in people finding salvation until
             the Day of Reckoning so the final revelation is placed under the pro-
             tection of God.

                 Our Lord reveals this to our Prophet (pbuh) with the verse "We
             will cause you to recite so that you do not forget." (Qur'an, 87:6). As

             revealed by this verse, God never allowed our Prophet (pbuh) to for-
             get any verse that had been read to him. It is therefore impossible for
             there to be any forgotten or deficient verses in the Qur'an.

                 As to the idea of the goat eating the verse in question, the claim
             is that a verse found its way out of the Qur'an, a Book which God
             describes as being preserved and well-protected, or to put it another
             way, may God forbid, that God was unable to protect the verse

             (surely God is beyond that). Rejecting the verses in question means
             doubting God and thus departing from the faith.

                 Moreover, the Caliph Umar (ra) is also blatantly slandered with
             fabricated hadiths. It is slanderously alleged that Umar knows a pro-
