GOD DOESN'T CHANGE HIS WORD

Surah 2:106 We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?

Surah 10:64 For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah. That is what is the great attainment.

Surah 15:9 Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (ie the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it.

How can the omniscient God, who knows everything and knows the future, change his Word or forget His Word? Or can His prophet forget His Word? If so, how can He judge the world in the last days? Can’t the almighty God speak perfection right from the start without needing to improve His Word? Does God need to improve from good to better when He is all perfect? God declares himself in the Torah and the Bible as being unchangeable:

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Psalm 89:33,34 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I would like to mention that when God created Adam, He blessed him. When Adam sinned, he deserved a curse because sin brings a curse. But God could not change His blessing by cursing him, so He cursed the earth instead. When Cain was born, the Bible does not mention that God blessed him, but when he killed his brother, then God cursed him. From this we can see that God does not change at all, nor does He change His Word.

It is a well-known fact that kings cannot alter their words, like King Darius (Daniel 6) when he made a decree that, if anyone asked for anything from God but not from him, they would be cast into the den of lions. But the prophet Daniel, when he heard this decree, disregarded it and prayed to God. Although the king who loved Daniel, regretted his words, he had to cast him into the den of lions, because of the decree.

However, God saved Daniel. Also, when King Herod (Matthew 14:3-11) wanted to please his stepdaughter, he invited her to ask him for anything up to half of his kingdom and he would give it to her. When she then asked for the head of John the Baptist on a plate, he could not withdraw his word and had to kill John. Knowing this, how can we believe that God can change His Word?
