How can I answer that question?
Assalaamu'alaikum,

I read in Sh Yasir Qadhi's book in 'Introduction to Sciences of the Qur'an' :

"The Qur'aan i s the only divinely-revealed Scripture whose preservation has been promised by Allaah. The responsibility of preserving earlier Scriptures had been placed upon its recipients, without any divine aid. Allaah mentions in Surah Ma'idah:

"... and the rabbis and the priests (judged according to their Scriptures), for to them was entrusted the protection of the Book of Allaah, and they were witnesses to it..." [5:44]

Thus, the earlier nations were given the responsibility of protecting their scriptures, in true contrast to the Qur'aan, whose protection was the responsibility of the Creator"

I don't usually take my deen from Salafi sources though, I bought this book before I knew much about the madhahib.

I would also add that the Qur'an is the final revelation to mankind, and everything that happens is by the will and determination of Allah, so of course Allah knew that these previous books would eventually become corrupted, and perhaps the amazing preservation of the Qur'an (as the final revelation which applies to all humanity to come) in comparison to these scriptures is a powerful tool for da'wa and strengthening the iman of the believers?

Wallahu A'lam
