Answer:
Wa `Alaikum As-Salam,
Thank you for writing us. When you are confronted with doubts regarding knowledge issues, you cannot merely wish them to go away. You have to ask Allah to guide you to the truth of the matter, and then (tie your camel) by going out and taking those questions you have to a scholar to get clarity about them.
As a Muslim your heart is attracted to truth, and thus you need to seek it, especially when issues like this arise where you have been presented with certain arguments about the Qur’an that you don’t have the answers for.
The only way you will achieve peace on this matter is by resolving the questions in your mind via knowledge. Thus I encourage you to seek out a Muslim scholar (a real one) that can answer your questions one by one in relation to what you read in that article.
Shaytan is preying on the doubts that have crept into your heart from your reading of that Arabic literature questioning the authenticity of the Qur’an; however, you never had those questions answered and this doubt is lingering in your heart. Merely reading the Qur’an or doing zikr will not provide the remedy you need until you are able to have your questions answered with true knowledge.
You will not feel at peace until you return to a state of complete surrender to the truth of Islam, and that requires having conviction of it as the truth through knowledge. So my advice to you is to contact a scholar, sit with him/her, and have all your questions about the Qur’an that were raised by this piece you read answered. Knowledge is priceless in this deen and absolutely essential to our iman.
May Allah help you,
