The importance of the Quran in Islam,
the Koran is the foundation of the Muslim life. It provides for him the way to fulfillment in the world beyond and to happiness in the present one. There is for him no situation imaginable for which it does not afford guidance, a problem for which it does not have a solution. It is the ultimate source of all truth, the final vindication of all right, the primary criterion of all values, and the original basis of all authority. Both public and private affairs, religious and secular fall under its jurisdiction. 1Labib, As-said, The Recited Koran: A history of the first recorded version, trans. and adopted by Bernard Weiss, M. A. Rauf and Morroe Berger [The Darwin Press, Princeton 1975], 11.
Muslims place too much importance on the Quran for the following reasons:
The Quran corrupts history (Quran 4:157-158)
The Quran corrupts God’s Law (Quran 33:37)
The Quranic Injeel is a corruption of Scripture (Quran 5:46-47)
