Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
look below...the names of imams and scholars.....1000 dawa-i-dils are not equal to the mud sticking to thier feet.....see what they are saying......
So you didnt have courage to reply back to me about the statements of your sahaba about tahreef in Quran!
Anyways, If you want me to believe the statements you had cited by the Sunni schoolars about the completeness of Quran without the doubt them doing munafiqat then there are number of great Shia scholars too who clearly testified for the completeness of Quran, let me cite some of them ( and, yes even 1000 x 1000 dawa dils are not equal to the mud sticking to the feet of the following since they never accepted or praised Nasibi and Khariji people in their books :P ).
Sheikh Saduq (rah) presents the following arguments to prove the correctness of Quran
“The narrations that have been revealed about the blessings (Thawab) for the recitation of the whole of the Quran, the narrations about the permissibility of reciting two Surahs in the single Rakah of non-obligatory (Nafl) Prayers, and the ones about the impermissibility of reciting two Surahs in a single Rakah of Obligatory prayers certify our claim that the Quran is the same that the people have in their hands at the moment, and the narrations that the whole of the Quran shouldn’t be recited in a single night, and narrations about not reciting the whole of the Quran in less than three days verify our claim.”

The Belief of Muhammad bin Muhammad ibn Numan Baghdadi –Sheikh Al Mufid (d. 413 AH)
The teacher of Syed Murtadha Ilm-ul-Huda, and the great Shia Aalim, Sheikh Mufid (rah) says:
“There are no flaws of words, verses, or Surahs in the present Quran.”
Tafseer A’la al-Rehman, page 17
Sheikh al Mufid (rah) further says:
“Verily what is between the two covers of the Quran, the whole is of Allah's words and revelation, there is nothing from the words of mankind in it and it whole of it is the revelation of Allah”

Belief of Sheikh Muhammad bin Hasan Abu Jafar Tusi known as Shiekh al Taifa (d. 460 AH)
“Sheikh al Tusi (rah) in his book al-Tibyaan says that raising questions about the tehrif of Quran is not appropriate, because as far as the question of anything being added to the Quran is concerned, there is a complete consensus that no such thing has happened, and about anything being subtracted from it, apparently the belief of all the Muslims is that this hasn’t occurred aswell, and same is the “Sahih” statement especially in our religion, and it has been backed by Allamah Syed Murtadha [rah] and same is proven from the Ahadith. No doubt in both Shias and Sunnis some single chain narrations have certainly come which can neither suffice for knowledge, nor can they be acted upon, therefore it is better to discard those.

Belief of Fazl bin Hassan known as Shaykh Tabrisi (d 548)
The author of Tafseer-e-Majma’ ul-Bayan, Allamah Ali bin Ahmed Tabrisi says:
“Anything about the alleged additions made to the Quran are wrong and void anyway, but about the reduction from the Quran, some people from the Hashwia sect have narrated that changes and lapses have occurred in the Holy Quran. But we the Shia have the belief against it, that is, we believe that no reduction has been made to the Holy Quran, ‘Ilm ul-Huda Syed Murtadha has said the same too, and this is a simple and clear statement, hopefully you people have come to know that the Shia belief is against any reduction or addition to the Holy Quran.”

The Belief of Allamah Sadruddin Shirazi (d. 1060 AH)
Shaykh Sadr-uddin Sheerazi who is usually called as “Mulla Sadra”. He wrote a commentary on Usul-ul-Kafi. We read about his belief about the supposed Tahreef in Quran:
** “Research proves that the present Quran has neither been changed, nor has it been distorted, and no error has entered into its ranks.”**
Tafseer of Ayat ul-Kursi, page 332.
Shiekh Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin al-Hurr al-'Aamili (d. 1104)
The author of Al-Wasa'il, Shiekh Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin al-Hurr al-'Aamili believed:
“One who ponders into the traditions and chapters of history then he will certainly know that Quran is present at the highest stage of being Tawatur and there were plenty of Sahaba who were Hafid and Qari of Quran…”
Al Fasul al Muhimmah fi Talif al Ummah, page 166
