All Muslim scholars take both the Quranic meanings and words to be issued from God on the basis of Quranic verses and intellectual principles. However, there is a rare view according to which only the meaning of the revelation (waḥy) comes from God, and the words were selected by the Prophet. On this view, the history of the Prophet’s life and his psychological states such as sadness and happiness had a role to play in how he chose the words of the revelation and the ups and downs of the Quranic verses. Some people maintain that the Prophet had to draw on the science commonly accepted by people of his time in order to make the transcendental truth of the revelation understandable by them, and some such scientific views may as well have been proved false as the science developed, while the Prophet was only in charge of conveying the divine revelation. In this paper, I explain that, just like other entities in the world, the Quran enjoys stages that match one another, and thus, the verbal mundane stage of the Quran is a mirror representation of its spiritual or malakūtī stage, and according to the principle of the match between entities at different stages, nothing exists except the truth. This is based on the view that the words of Quran are divine revelations, and so the Quran exists independently of the Prophet’s natural existence which is the voice of the revelation.
