for my opinion : All the muslims believes that the Quran is total and never edited (just one letter) , and have no error in it , or had no parts add after the death of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
I shall add to this discussion because I have been apart of a Muslim sect which DOES believe the Qur'an has been changed. Qur'aniyun who subscribe to Rashad Khalifa views or his disciple Edip Yuksel will specifically state that 2 ayah of the Qur'an are false and they come to this reasoning using a mathematical system of 19.
The specific ayah they reject can be found in Surat at-Tawbah and they are ayah 128 and 129
I was once going to challenge Edip Yuksel on these claims but by then I found no need to since I abandoned Islam altogether. I do consider the Qur'aniyun more pure in form then traditional Sunni Muslims though.
Dr. RK made a mistake in this issue . This is proven from his own books :
In this FIRST publication the verses 9: 128/129 of the Quran are NOT DELETED. Please note the word "God" (Allah) appears in verse 129.
________________________________________
On page 472 of his FIRST publication, the total count of the words "Allah" in the Qur'an is mentioned as 2698 (19x42=2698).
In his commentary below Rashad makes comments on verse 128,
In this SECOND Publication the Surah 9 ends with verse 127. The verses number 128 and 129 are expunged. In his commentary below Rashad Khalifa declares them as the false verses. Please read the hi-lited text:
RASHAD'S SECOND PUBLICATION (1989)
Title: QURAN: THE FINAL SCRIPTURE
ISBN 0-934894-57-1 Price U.S. $ 57.00
Surprisingly on page 627 below, in his SECOND publication, Rashad shows the total number of counts for the word "Allah" in the Qur'an to be the same as before i.e. 2698. ALTHOUGH RASHAD HAD DELETED TWO VERSES AND WITHIN THOSE TWO VERSES THERE WAS THE WORD "ALLAH" AS SEEN IN THE EARLIER SCANNED IMAGE, HE KEPT THE COUNT SAME AS BEFORE!!!
Surah At-Taubah[FONT=Times New Roman, Times]الرحيمIn the name of allah , the beneficent , the merciful[/FONT]The verses 128 and 129 of surah 9 (At Taubah )The verse 128 and 129 of surah 9 have been rejected by part of 19ers by the Mathematical Miracle.
By the Mathematical Miracle I prove they were wrong.Updated: 21 Octobers 20001. Supported by the name "ALLAH" and "MUHAMMAD"

Obviously you must be one of the "Submitters". So you are saying Rashad did not make such a claim? Despite one of his closest disciples and all others continuing such claims?
If you wish to debate about this you can make a thread int he debate section
What about the Shia and Sunni Sahih Hadith where Tahreef is reported ? I think I am going to be stampeded shortly :shout
-In shia Islam the only all-authentic book is the Quran.
-The Hadiths talking about Tahreef either non-authentic, or referring to Tahreef in the interpretation.
-Some of these Hadith are referring to those who claim that the opening sentence 'in the name of Allah the merciful the compassionate' (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم is not part of the Quran (in most of the places it is mentioned).
-The Tahreef Hadiths are contradicted by huge number of authentic Hadiths saying that the Quran has not been changed or distorted.
Sorry , I am not going to discuss this issue here at all , just to refresh your memory , the hadith of '17,000 verses in Qur'an' is/in 'Kafi' , authenticated by Baqir Majlisi and Hoor Amili as Sahih etc.
Again , I don't want to debate the Tahreef of Qur'an in Shia and Sunni Sahih Hadith here but if you feel to go for that then lets do it in right place and in right time .
I am feeling sleepy :sleep:
