In the preface, the author states that throughout Shia history, the belief in distortion of the Qur’an has not been a recognized doctrinal position. He argues that the overwhelming majority of Shia scholars have affirmed that the Qur’an preserved today is the same divine revelation that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). According to the book, isolated opinions attributed to individuals cannot be considered representative of an entire religious school.

The author supports this claim by quoting statements attributed to prominent figures such as Imam Ali (RA) and Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq (RA), emphasizing that the Qur’an is the unchanged Word of God and that falsehood cannot approach it. He further lists numerous Shia scholars—among them Shaykh al-Saduq, Shaykh al-Mufid, Sayyid al-Murtada, Shaykh al-Tusi, Allama Tabatabai, and Ayatollah Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei—who explicitly rejected the concept of textual alteration.

Masla e Tehreef e Quran also addresses historical discussions about compilation and arrangement of the Qur’an, presenting references from classical literature. The author maintains that copies of the Qur’an attributed to early Islamic figures, preserved in historical libraries, correspond with the present-day text recited across the Muslim world.

The central argument of the book is that accusations regarding systematic textual corruption are not supported by mainstream Shia theology. It invites readers to examine Qur’anic copies available in mosques and religious centers to verify that the text is identical to that used globally.

This short booklet is written in accessible Urdu and is intended for readers interested in theological dialogue, sectarian history, and the doctrine of Qur’anic preservation.
