Oh yes, sorry, you are right. Quran was not written by Mohammed himself ... but asfaik, science agrees that the tradition of the scripture is very accurate, much moreso than in case of the Bible (which even most Christians claim is not "God's word", but was written by "inspired" people).
Baha'u'llah's scriptures were directly written by himself or dictated, and many of the originals still exist in Haifa.
If you look at Quaranitc textrual criticism, there are just as many varients as there are in the NT, we don't have older manuscripts for the Quaran than we do for the NT.
For the NT, we have independant accounts, much more manuscripts and texts to work with to make sure we have the most accurate copy and much earlier sources.
You can't even compare the Quran to the NT when talking about historical reliability and textual credibility.
