http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-17450.64.htmlHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, OLABOWALE I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU B'because THE 1ST TIME I WAS OPPORTUNED TO READ TRANSLATED ENGLISH QURAN I WAS SURPRISED THAT IT IS MORE OR LESS BIBLICAL MESSAGES WRITTEN IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE BESIDES THAT MOHAMMED WAS A KNOWN SMUGGLER BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED.
Can I have the verses please. How come he was a smuggler when you all know that he was an illiterate?
THE ONLY BIBLE RECORDED REVELATION PROPHET IS JOHN THAT LED HIM INTO WRITTEN OR HAVING A WAY OF DOCUMENTING MESSAGES HE RECEIVED FROM ABOVE WHEREAS B'because JESUS CHRIST HAS SUPERIOR POWER OVER ANY HUMAN BEINGS THAT HAVE LIVE TO DATE, INSPIRATIONS AND REVELATION FLOW FROM HIM NATURALLY.
Brother, calm down, you don't have to shout in order to get noticed
. Let us take is softly.
Please did John actually wrote the Gospel of John based on the below verses?
"
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? (From the King James Version Bible, John 1:19)"
"
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; (From the King James Version Bible, John 1:26)"
"
For John was not yet cast into prison. (From the King James Version Bible, John 3:24)"
Let us go further into the book of revelation and the commentary on same:
"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:
, In the third century, however,
an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that the book could not been written by the apostle of John.
He suggested that the author was a certain John the Presbyter, whose name appears elsewhere in ancient writings. Although many today follow Dionysius in his view of authorship, the external evidence seems overwhelmingly supportive of the traditional view. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1922)"
NO NEED TO ARGUE THIS EVEN OF RECENT MUSLIMS ARE NOW USING JESUS NAME "PROPHET ISAH" TO PRAY IN THEIR MOSQUE. SO LET'S LEAVE EVERYTHING TO GOD ALMIGHTY TO JUDGE
Can you please provide how they have been using same?
@Nwando
I provided you a link to the compilation of the Holy Quran but you ignored same. I have helped you by bringing it out for you to read.
The Holy Quran
The Holy Quran is a book revealed from Allah (swt) to his messenger, Prophet Muhammed (saw) when he was forty years of age. First verses were revealed on the 610 A.D. equivalent to 27th Ramadhan.
First five verses revealed on the 27th of Ramadhan were the part of Suratul-alaq
Quran 96v1-5:
1. Read in the name of your Lord, who created
2. He created man from a clot
3. Read and your Lord is Most Honourable
4. Who taught (to write) with pen.
5. Taught man wha he knew not
Quran after the death of the Prophet (saw)
Quran was not in a book form in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammed (saw) because:
1. All the Sahaba (Companions) memorised it and they thought that every muslim must memorise it like them.
2. There are 9 days interval between the last verse of the Quran and the death of the receiver (Prophet Muhammed saw)
3. The scrolls of the Quran were not in the same place because the chapters were not revealed at the same time.
Quran in the time of Abubakr
After the death of the Prophet (saw), Abu Bakr became the successor and became the leader and commander of the muslim world. He reigned for 2 years (632 A.D-634 A.D). During his time, Umar advised him to make the Quran in a book form because a large number of men who knew the Quran by heart had fallen as matyrs in the Battle of Yamama. This was fought against Musaylma al-Kazzab, who had denounced Islam and claimed to be a prophet after Prophet Muhammed (saw).
So, Umar went to see Abu Bakr and they both agreed and called Zayd bin Thabit who used to write the revelations down for the prophet (saw).
Zayd first disagreed but later agreed later and Abu Bakr called all memorizers (Huffaz) of the Quran to come and read by heart and at the same time, he sent for the materials (skin, slabs of stones etc) on which Qurian verses were written.
For those who had memorised it, they tried to write the Quran down by heart, out of fifteen of them, Abdullahi bin Mash'ud's own was ost perfect, others had forgotten parts of the Quran.
A panel was set up with Abu Bakr himself as the chairman and the writers were
1. Zayd bin Thabit (Leader)
2. Abdul-Rahamn bin Harith
3. Saad bin Al-as
4. Abdullahi bin Zubayr
When the finished, they called the best reader and memorizer of the Quran, Abdullahi Mash'uud to come and recite the Quran while the remaining writers and memorizers looked through the one they wrote. Suprisingly, nothing was different.
This is how the Quran was collected in one place without any mistake.
The exit of the Holy Quran to other lands
In the lifetime of Abu Bakr, the Quran was collected and kept with Hafsah. Whoever feel like benefitting from the reading of the Quran from the compiled copy must come to the Sahaba in Mecca, but in the time of another Caliph of Islam, things changed for the better.
Quran in the time of Uthman (R.A.T)
Uthman was the successor to Umar.He became the commander after the death of Umar who reigned after Abu Bakr. His tenure of office was 644 A.D-656 A.D.
During his time, differences in reading the Quran became obvious, because ISLAM had spread to many states.
Then Uthman called for the copy of the original Quran collected at the time of Abu Bakr and ordered
1. Zayd bin Thabit
2. Abdullahi bin Zubair
3. Sa'ad bin Al'aas
4. Abdul Rahman bin Harith bin Hishaam
to re-write the manuscripts of the Quran in a very neat, decent and readable way. The writers did their work perfectly and successfully without a single error.
They wrote five copies of the Quran and Uthman sent a copy each to Islamic States namely:
One copy to Damascus.
One to Kuffa
One to Basra
One to Medina (Yathrib)
last copy remained in Mecca including the former one.
Journey of the Quran to the press
Quran was forst printed in Block print form, that was around the tenth century (1,000A.D). The system was to make the wooden blocks, then stamp it on materials like paper.
In 1143 A.D, the holy Quran was first translated from Arabic to Latin by the instructions of a man called PETER THE VENERABLE in Europe and that was the first translation of the Quran from Arabic to any other language.
With that translation, bothj muslims and non-muslims especially those Latin speakers startd to know the words of the Quran, they (christians among them) even knew the facts about the many doubts that they discovered from the bible and they tried using the Quran in correcting them.
System of printing press with movable type started in many parts of the world and that was around sixteenth century (1,600 A.D)
In Hamburg (Germany), the Quran was printed in 1694. The Quran was printed by Christians but carefully monitored by the muslims.
Malay Uthman edition of the Quran was published in Petersburg (Russia) in 1787 A.D.
1828 A.D., Kazan printed the Quran
1833 A.D, Persia also printed the Quran
1877 A.D., Istanbul joined them in the printing of the Quran
1858 A.D, The so-called "Fluegel edition" of the Quran was printed by the German Orientalist
1925 A.D, The so-called 'Egyptian edition' of the Quran was printed in Cairo with the financial aid of King Fa'ad of Saudi Arabia and it was distributed free of charge.
Evidence that the Quran is a complete book of Allah
Quran 41v42: No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it, it is sent down by one full of wisdom, worthy of all praise
Quran 15v9: We have sent dwn the message without doubt, and we will surely guard it (from corruption)
Also read Quran 10v37-38, 2v23-24
More evidence that all the parts of the Quran were collected completely
1. The written down was during the time of the Prophet
2. The collection was in the presence of Hiffaz.
3.All parts of the revelation are available in written form.
4. The material on which the revelation was written were loose writing materials, making it easy to arrange them in good order.
5. Quran was revealed in simple and pure Arabic Language and it is very understandable to all companions of the prophet (saw).
6.Allah (swt) himself sent Jubril (Angel Gabriel) to go through all the revelation with prophet Muhammed (saw) in Ramadhan. This was done twice in the year the prophet died.
7. The Quran was well guarded by the Sahaba ,they did not betray what they loved.
Based on the above, if you still say, its not complete, I will advise you give me a verse in a quran that is not present in another just like the bible.
Nothing as simple as that.
Let me serve just a tip on plagiarism from your holy book
1
"I am the goal of life, the LORD and support of all, the inner witness, the abode of all. I am the only refuge, the ONE true friend; I am the beginning, the staying, and the end of creation; I am the womb and the eternal seed. I am heat; I give and withhold the rain. I am immortality and I am death; I am what is and what is not" [Bhagavad Gita 9:18-19]
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelations 1:
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelations 22:13)
(2)
He walks upon the water without parting it, as if on solid ground. ANGUTTARA NIKAYA 3.60 , " (Buddha)
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. (Mark 14:25, John 6:19)
(3)
"In everything do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
“What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man: this is the whole law, the rest is commentary”. (Hyam Maccoby quotes Hillel in Revolution in Judea: p266)
4
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. (Jude 1:17-19)
First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. (2 Peter 2:3)
I still have more for you
