TODAYWE hear so much about Islam being a peaceful

religion and that the Muslims are correct in saying that General Muhammad was a prophet, a Muslim

and that the Bible is wrong.Because of Political Correctness in the West most people are afraid to investigate the claims of the

Muslims. But we live in a democracy and one which has Biblical standards albeit falling away.

We have the research tools. We have the answers. God has given them to us.

So in this short programme we will examine THE KORAN and see if it is really God's Word.

What the Muslim Traditions Tell us about The Compilation What the Muslim Traditions Tell us about The Compilation of the Qur’an:of the Qur’an:• Zaid bin Thabit,

initially commissioned by to compile the Abu Bakr Qur‘an, still did not know it all himself and therefore was dependent on a number of sources in order to compile his first copy

• Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr as-Siddiq sent for me when the people of Yamama had been killed. Then Abu Bakr said (to me): “You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah’s Apostle (saw). So you should search for (the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur’an and collect it (in one book)”. By Allah! If they had ordered me to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur’an. Then I said to Abu Bakr, “How will you do something which Allah’s Apostle (saw) did not do?” Abu Bakr replied “By Allah, it is a good project”,. .So I started looking for the Qur’an and collecting it from (what was written on) palm-leaf stalks, thin white stones, and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the last verse of Surat at-Tauba (repentance) with Abi Khuzaima al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 6:509, pg. 478-479).

•Yet, there is some confusion as to whether the Caliph Abu Bakr, or Salim, the freed slave, was the first to have the Qur’an compiled?:

• It is reported...from Ali who said: “May the mercy of Allah be upon Abu Bakr, the foremost of men to be rewarded with the collection of the manuscripts, for he was the first to collect (the text) between (two) covers”. (Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif p.5).

• It is reported...from Ibn Buraidah who said: “The first of those to collect the Qur’an into a mushaf (codex) was Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah”. (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur’an, p.135).

• We are not sure if we have the entire Qur’an today, for it seems that portions of the Qur’an were irretrievably lost in the battle of Yamama where many of Muhammad’s companions (those who had memorized the text), died:

• Many (of the passages) of the Qur’an that were sent down were known by those who died on the day of Yamama...but they were not known (by those who) survived them, nor were they written down, nor had Abu Bakr, Umar, or Uthman (by that time) collected the Qur’an, nor were they found with even one (person) after them. (Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif p.23).

• What’s more, not only verses, but entire portions were omitted or abrogated from the Qur’an:

• It is reported from Ismail ibn Ibrahim from Ayyub from Naafi from Ibn Umar who said: “Let none of you say ‘I have acquired the whole of the Qur’an’. How does he know what all of it is when much of the Qur’an has disappeared? Rather let him say ‘I have acquired what has survived.’ (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur’an, p.524).

• Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that it had been revealed in the Qur’an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated by five sucklings and Allah’s Apostle (saw) died and before that time it was found in the Qur’an. (Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2:3421, pg.740).

• Zirr ibn Hubaish reported: “Ubayy ibn Ka’b said to me, ‘What is the extent of Suratul-Ahzab?’ I said, ‘Seventy, or seventy-three verses’. He said, ‘Yet it used to be equal to Suratul-Baqarah... (As-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur’an, p.524).

• Abu Musa al-Ashari, an early authority of the Qur’an, and a companion of Muhammad, mentions a verse he once remembered, but no longer exists in the Qur’an:

• We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity to (Surah) Bara’at. I have, however, forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember out of it: “If there were two valleys full of riches, for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust”. (Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2:2286, p.501).

•Even Bukhari refers to a verse which was canceled or abrogated from the Qur’an!:

• We used to read a verse of the Qur’an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was canceled. It was: “convey to our people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased”. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 5:416, pg.288).

• One of the most famous ‘missing verses’ is the verse on stoning adulterers (the practice known as Rajam). It seems this was a punishment practiced by Muhammad himself and included in the Qur’an; yet now it no longer can be found [vs. 100 lashes, Sura 24:2]:

• Allah sent Muhammad (saw) with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married persons, male and female, who commit adultery) and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah’s Apostle (saw) did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, ‘By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah’s Book’, and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8:817, pg.539).

• “Verily stoning in the book of God is a penalty laid on married men and women who commit adultery, if proof stands or pregnancy is clear or confession is made” (lbn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah, p.684)

• Ibn Shihab reported that a man in the time of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) acknowledged having committed adultery and confessed it four times. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) then ordered and he was stoned.” (Muwatta Imam Malik, p.350).

• Muslims say at times Muhammad himself had difficulty remembering portions of the Qur’an:

• Aishah said: A man got up (for prayer) at night, he read the Qur’an and raised his voice in reading. When morning came, the Apostle of Allah (saw) said: May Allah have mercy on so-and-so! Last night he reminded me a number of verses I was about to forget. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 3, p.1114).

• Curiously Uthman still did not have the entire corrected text at hand, as Bukhari admits “a large part of the Qur’an may be lost”; for he then orders three to help Zaid bin Thabit revise the codex of Hafsa (daughter of Umar), and correct it where necessary, even recalling a verse (33:23) which had been missing from the original text!

vvvvvv

Uthman takes Hafsa’s MSS, and has the four compilers REWRITE the text…and in case they DISAGREED, they were to write it in the DIALECT OF THE QURAISH…”and ordered that all the other Qur’anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts of whole copies BE BURNT!”

• ..There are some verses which have been overlooked.Khuzaimah ibn Thabit said: “I see you have overlooked (two) verses and have not written them”. They said “And which are they?” He replied “I had it directly (tilqiyya - ‘automatically, spontaneously’) from the messenger of Allah (saw) (Surah 9, ayah 128): ‘There has come to you a messenger from yourselves. It grieves him that you should perish, he is very concerned about you: to the believers he is kind and merciful’, to the end of the surah”. Uthman said “I bear witness that these verses are from Allah”. (Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif p.11).

• Some verses which have been changed.Abu Yunus, freedman of Aishah, Mother of Believers, reported: Aishah ordered me to transcribe the Holy Qur’an and asked me to let her know when I should arrive at the verse Haftdhuu alaas-salaati waas-salaatiil-wustaa wa quumuu lillaahi qaanitiin (2.238). When I arrived at the verse I informed her and she ordered: Write it in this way, Hafidhuu alaas-salaati waas-salaatiil-wustaa wa salaatil ‘asri wa quumuu lillaahi qaanitiin. She added that she had heard it so from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). (Muwatta Imam Malik, [d.795 AD] p.64).
