ALQURAN - ORIGINAL TEXT

Since Rasulullah SAW got the first revelation of the Quran, until the the day of the final revelation, and onward until Khalifah Othman Affan (4th Califh of Islam),
The ALQURAN has remain intact as promised by ALLAH SWT. Attemps has been made, and will continue to be made by people who try to change it until the end of this world. That is why, its original forms shall always be in arabic.
I came across this IMPORTANT NOTE on a site about AlQuran/Islam ...

It is our policy to preserve the original text and titles of books transcribed for this site. This has some theological implications in this section. Some Muslims do not believe that any text other than the actual Arabic text of the Quran (even a transliteration or an Arabic text with vowels) can strictly be called 'the Qur'an'. This is because the Arabic text is considered canonical and there can be no other versions of it. The phrase 'the meaning of the Quran' is typically used to describe texts which would otherwise be described as 'translations'. Please be aware of this issue where this site presents or refers to a 'translation,' 'translator' or 'transliteration' of the Quran. In addition, many of these books were originally written by Europeans during the 19th century and use the term 'Mohammedan' to refer to Muslims (by analogy with 'Buddhist,' 'Christian' etc.) Most Muslims deprecate this term today because the founder of Islam is considered a human prophet, rather than an entity to be worshipped, as the term could be taken to imply. In the interest of archival accuracy this terminology has been retained in the etexts; in text that we've written, we have attempted to avoid it, except in quotations. No disrespect to Islam or Muslims is intended thereby.
.
From the note above, it is accepted generally, why ALQURAN need to be in its original text, and to learn the true meaning of ISLAM there is a methodolgy that need to be understood. Just reading the QURAN without understanding the meaning is 'WORTHLESS', however, getting the meaning and choosing what fits and individual is 'DANGEROUS'.
.
For that reason, people since the beginning of the QURAN revelation has used it for the wrong reason, and until they gets the HIDAYAH will continue to use specific words and paragraph for their own benefit.
...
BEWARE ....
