sekali lagi, kesimpulan akhirnya kita bisa baca dari apa yg dikatakan Robert Hoyland :
Firstly, we do have a number of bodies of evidence - especially non-Muslim sources, papyri, inscriptions and archaeological excavations - that can serve as a useful external referent and whose riches are only just beginning to be exploited in a systematic manner. Secondly, the historical memory of the Muslim community is more robust than some have claimed. For example, many of the deities, kings and tribes of the pre-Islamic Arabs that are depicted by ninth-century Muslim historians also feature in the epigraphic record, as do many of the rulers and governors of the early Islamic state. This makes it difficult to see how historical scenarios that require for their acceptance a total discontinuity in the historical memory of the Muslim community - such as that Muhammad did not exist, the Qur'an was not written in Arabic, Mecca was originally in a different place etc. - can really be justified. Many of these scenarios rely on absence of evidence, but it seems a shame to make such a recourse when there are so many very vocal forms of material evidence still waiting to be studied. some quotes: quran mempunyai arti dasar yaitu hafalan, dan karena ayat2 yg diterima pada sang nabi datang secara gradual, dan dipraktekan langsung dalam kehidupan sehari2 (baik dalam bacaan shalat maupun dalam tindakan lainnya) shg memudahkan untuk diingat oleh pengikutnya.. Robert Hoyland : the historical memory of the Muslim community is more robust than some have claimed. John Burton: What we have today in our hands is the Mushaf of Muhammad. jadi tidak ada ruang lagi untuk memperebatkan lagi keotentikan al quran.. al quran itu solid, dan tidak diragukan lagi bahwa itu kalam Ilahi.. bahwa quran jaman onta sama dengan jaman dimana orang dungu sudah bisa ngepost email di kampung petar ...
