The author of the Quran is believed to be Allah himself, as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through the Angel Jibreel over the course of 23 years.
It was revealed in stages so that Muhammad would have time to read and understand it fully, before memorizing it and passing it on to his followers who would then write it down and pass it on for future generations.
Muslims believe that the Quran is exactly what Allah sent down without any change, addition or reduction of its content over time, which makes it unique among all other scriptures in existence today.
Many people throughout history have studied and written tafseers on the Quran, contexts, symbolism etc. However, none of them were involved in writing (or creating) it itself. They were just interpreting or analyzing its contents through their own eyes and understanding.
Historically there are many individuals who contributed immensely towards preserving, protecting and transmitting Quranic knowledge from one generation to another through writing books about all aspects related to Quranic sciences such as Hadith (Prophet Muhammad’s sayings), Tafsir (commentary of ayat), Fiqh (comprehensive Islamic law) etc.
However, ultimately it is only Allah who alone holds ultimate authorship rights for the Holy Quran scripture. The Holy Quran has been taught directly from Him to humanity more than thousand years until today.
