So you attended night school like i did.

What is believed to be the world's oldest fragment of the Quran has been found at the University of Birmingham.

The manuscript of the Muslim holy text were found in the university's library and are believed to date as far back as 1,370 years.

Radiocarbon analysis dates parchment on which the text is written to the period between 568CE and 645CE - around the time the Islamic Prophet Muhammad is believed to have lived - with 95.4% accuracy.

The tests carried out by the University of Oxford places the two parchment leaves as possibly the oldest surviving text of the Quran.

The manuscripts consist of parts of Suras [chapters] 18 to 20 of the holy book, written in an early form of Arabic script known as Hijaz. The pages were mistakenly kept with the leaves of a similar Quran, which only dates back as far as the seventh century.

The pieces of the Koran are part of the University's Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts, held in the Cadbury Research Library.

Susan Worrall, Director of Special Collections (Cadbury Research Library), at the University of Birmingham, said: "The radiocarbon dating has delivered an exciting result, which contributes significantly to our understanding of the earliest written copies of the Quran.

"We are thrilled that such an important historical document is here in Birmingham,the most culturally diverse city in the UK." Dr Muhammad Isa Waley, Lead Curator for Persian and Turkish Manuscripts at the British Library, described the discovery of the Quran fragments as "news to rejoice Muslim hearts".

The Prophet Muhammad is generally thought to have lived between 570CE and 632CE, meaning the manuscript found at the university could date back to the founding years of the Islam religion.

who shall we believe? Him or sahih bukari ? The hadith indicate BEFORE islam came the pagan had being performing the very same ritual, the fact that the muslims during muhammed time did not want to performed the ritual and then later muhammed had to assured them "it is the symbol of Allah" proved the people know tawaf between safa and marwa was pagan custom. NO need to doubt if Abraham performed the ritual.

malvisguy212:
yes, thank you for your advice, I will go back to school, but pleased teach me the meaning when the hadith used this sentence
"SO WHEN ISLAM CAME ,WE GAVE UP
GOING AROUND THEM" what does this mean?

malvisguy212:
nonsense!!! are you blind? Or what ? Did you not read this sentence in the hadith I paste ? "SO WHEN ISLAM CAME ,WE GAVE UP
GOING AROUND THEM." what dos this sentence indicate ? The pagan has being doing it long before islam came.

What is the need of the eyes when the MIND is blind ?

Fool! Re-read the my explanation and the hadith in it or go back to school.

Illiterate.

[s] Once again u have nothing to say...only insults in defense of a fraudulent peadophile mohammed.

Millions have rejected islam after the truth was brought to them and they let common sense and facts prevail.

If u dont leave islam , its likely ur kids will ...islam used to be a huge force in africa and arabic was ubiquitous, today it is a sad story for islam in africa....... so enjoy ur folly if it pleases u. [s] .

Thanks bro, I was about to reply his garbage o! This old man thinks we're joking, deception is what they love the most.

ALLAH (swt) did not copy any pagan act or worship. Every ritual performed in pilgrimage has its origin from prophet Ibrahim (as) and his household. And down the line, generations practised the ritual, but the value of the origin and referring it to the true GOD was lost, hence they replaced the same and other fabrications in dedication to their idols. If you ask the then arab pagans about how they came about their worship, they will tell you they met it from their fathers. ALLAH as they knew from Ibrahim (as) is referring to GOD, but because the generation had relegated to idol worship and they heard the name from their fathers, they made a statue.

The idols and these fabrications are what Muhammad (saw) came to destroy and retain the original symbols and practice for ALLAH (swt) alone. I hope this helps sire - (golpen)

This practice was first observed by a pious person,Hajar the mother of Ismael(AS) and wife of Ibrahim(AS).Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158 -Verily! As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah)are of the Symbols of Allah.So it is not a sin on him who perform Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawaf) between them (As-Safa and Al- Marwah). And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily,Allah is All-Recogniser,All-Knower.


Narrated Ibn Abbas (radhi Allahu anhu):Ismail's mother went on suckling Ismail and drinking from the water (she had). When the water in the water-skin had all been used up,she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty.She started looking at him (i.e. Ismail) tossing in agony.She left him,for she could not endure looking at him,and found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land.
She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody,but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley,she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble,till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody,but she could not see anybody.

She repeated that (running between Safa and Marwa) seven times.The Prophet said:This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them (i.e. Safa and Marwa)[Sahih Bukhari Book# 55, Hadith# 583].

Lol Al TAKKIYAH practicing Christians, following the footsteps of Paul since 42AD

Here is the group:

https:///806549239435216?refid=18&__tn__=C

We receive testimonies of Muslims REVERTING to Christianity from all over the world everyday right in the group. Who ever said Islam is the fastest growing religion? That is in no way true; but is only a STRATEGY. There are sound religious debaters in the same group, debaters Muslim debaters can't handle; thus resort to devices (e.g. Taqiyya), but the sincere ones; those who seek truth sincerely; acknowledge truth, and of course, convert. Which religion do you think is TRUE/God's Own?

Buhari is already a failure from the begining... All I do is to enlighten Nigerians on the failure of Baba

You see Buhari 's government? It WILL succeed whether you like it or not. You can choose to be crying from now on till 2019; you can choose to commit suicide out of hatred of seeing him succeed, it won't Change anything. God is already on our side...And believe me friend, you can't go against his plan.

OLAADEGBU:
Are you not the one contradicting your Qur'an saying Allah's words have now been changed (altered), no?

OLAADEGBU:
The first Adam was created while the last Adam, Jesus, was the only begotten Son, do you see the difference?

OLAADEGBU:
I don't deal with speculations I deal with facts.

OLAADEGBU:
You are yet to answer my question. According to the Qur'an who was the Father of Jesus?

OLAADEGBU:
According to the Qur'an, who was His Father?

OLAADEGBU:
What you are saying is that Allah's words has been altered which means you do not really believe in what you profess.

What the Quran mean is that Moses, David and Jesus (peace and blessings be upon all of them) all got their individual revelations in their original form (probably meaning as an oral message). The Quran maintains that the books of the Jews and Christians have been corrupted, altered and edited over time. When the Quran talks about the Torah, Psalms and the Gospel it is speaking about the original versions revealed unto Moses, David and Jesus. It is not talking about the current Torah, Psalms and the Four Canonical Gospels we have today.
