Why Should be The Quran?
As we have just reviewed, The Quran is the book of Allah of which being revealed at the very last. Prior to The Quran, God had descended a few of His books. Some of them were: Tawrah of which was revealed to prophet Musa, Zabur that was sent to Daud, and Injil which was descended to Isa. However, those books have been expired. As a replacement, Allah had sent the last prophet which was Muhammad and Allah revealed to him The Quran. This book (The Quran) will last until the end of the world. God has replaced the lessons which were included in previous books with lessons in The Quran.

All Muslim people admit that The Quran is indeed the last book. That is based on the perspective of history as well as belief. The Quran is a revision of previous books. Therefore, The Quran will always be relevant to changing times:

It is narrated from Jabir radiallahu ‘anhu, that Umar bin Khattab came to Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam while bringing a few quotations from Tawrah. Umar said: “O Rasulullah, this is the excerpt of Tawrah.” The Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam remained silent and Umar read it, meanwhile the face of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam changed (look angrier). While Umar was looking at the Prophet’s face, he said, “I take refugee in Allah from His anger, the anger of His Messenger, and we accept that Allah is our God, islam is our religion, and Muhammad is our prophet.” Then, the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
والذي نفس محمد بيده لو بدا لكم موسى فاتبعتموه وتركتموني لضللتم عن سواء السبيل ولو كان حيا وأدرك نبوتي لاتبعني

“By the One Who owns my soul on His hand (Allah), if Musa appeared among you and you followed him and left me, you would go astray from the right path. If Musa were alive and reached [the time of] my prophethood he would have followed me.” (Ad-Darimi no. 435)
