The Quran

لا يَأتيهِ الباطِلُ مِن بَينِ يَدَيهِ وَلا مِن خَلفِهِ ۖ تَنزيلٌ مِن حَكيمٍ حَميدٍ

Ali Unal

Falsehood can never have access to it, whether from before it or from behind it (whether by arguments and attitudes based on modern philosophies, or by attacks from the past based on earlier Scriptures;¹ (it is) the Book being sent down in parts from the One All-Wise, All-Praiseworthy (to Whom all praise and gratitude belong).

Said Nursi explains it thus: If you look at the Qur’ān from a sound heart, you will see that its six sides are so brilliant and transparent that no darkness and misguidance, doubt and suspicion, or deception can penetrate it. Nor is there a fissure through which such things could infiltrate into the sphere of its purity. Above it is the stamp of miraculousness, beneath it proof and evidence, behind it its point of support – pure Divine Revelation, before it happiness in this world and the next, on its right, questioning human reason about its truth and ensuring its confirmation, and on its left, calling the human conscience to testify to its truth and securing its submission. Inside the Qur’ān is the pure guidance of the All-Merciful One, and outside is the light of faith. (See The Words, “The 22nd Word,” 321.)
