honesttalk21:
You reference Ibn Majah 1944 to argue for Qur’anic corruption, but if this demonstrates anything, it's that they do not meet the Qur’anic verification standards such as mass transmission, memorization, liturgical use, revelation context, surah placement, and community acceptance. They fail on all counts. According to Islamic criteria, their absence aligns perfectly with theological predictions, which means your argument about “lost verses” collapses on itself.
No amount of EVIDENCE is sufficient for a Muslim!

EVIDENCE THAT THE VERSES LIKE SUCKLING WAS REVEALED BUT DISAPPEARED FROM THE WRITTEN QUR'AN

Muslims pride themselves that the ORIGINAL Qur'an was meant to be RECITED and not written

honesttalk21:
Ok. What other similar reports exist? How does it stand compared to how other verses of the Quran are transmitted and recorded? What was the situation of its revelation?
honesttalk21:
Are there hadith of similar wording or context graded Sahih? There indeed is the point outside these 2 narrators are there chains without them?

Sahih Muslim 1452 b
'Amra reported that she heard 'A'isha (Allah he pleased with her) discussing fosterage which (makes marriage) unlawful; and she ('A'isha) said:
There was revealed in the Holy Qur'an ten clear sucklings, and then five clear (sucklings).


Why do you think your God gave verses on sucking in the HOLY Qur'an?


https://sunnah.com/malik/30/18
الرضاع30 Suckling

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Amongst what was sent down of the Qur'an was 'ten known sucklings make haram' - then it was abrogated by 'five known sucklings'. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, it was what is now recited of the Qur'an."
Yahya said that Malik said, "One does not act on this."


Is it true that the verse of suckling adult men was recited in the Qur'an after the death of Mohammed?

So, who abrogated it by deleting it from the Qur'an?
Was it found too shameful?


https://sunnah.com/malik/30/1
الرضاع30 Suckling

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, umm al-muminin informed her that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was with her and she heard the voice of a man asking permission to enter the room of Hafsa. A'isha said that she had said, "Messenger of Allah! There is a man asking permission to enter your house!" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I think it is so-and-so" (referring to a paternal uncle of Hafsa by suckling). A'isha said, "Messenger of Allah! If so-and-so were alive (referring to her paternal uncle by suckling) could he enter where I am?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes. Suckling makes haram as birth makes haram."

Did your prophet practiced Suckling?


Sahih Muslim 1452 a
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with, her) reported that it had been revealed in the Holy Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) died and it was before that time (found) in the Holy Qur'an (and recited by the Muslims).


Unfortunately, Muslims will not open their eyes to the truth. Do you not think that Just One Suckle of an Adult man is sick by itself not to speak of 10 or 5?

Sunan Ibn Majah 1944
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
“The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”


Aisha explained in detail what happened to her own copy of the Qur'an




Question:
Why do you think Allah REVEALED the command of sucking in his beautiful book?

“The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed1 , and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”


“The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed

https://sunnah.com/bulugh/10/5
لحدود10 Hudud

'Umar bin al-Khattab (RAA) narrated that he addressed the people and said, 'Verily Allah has sent Muhammad with the Truth and sent down the Book to him, and the verse of stoning was included in what Allah sent down. We recited, memorized and comprehended it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) accordingly (to what was in the verse) stoned to death (whoever committed adultery while being married), and we stoned after his death. But I am afraid that after a long time passes, someone may say, 'We do not find the Verses of stoning in Allah's Book , and thus they may go astray by abandoning an obligation that Allah has sent down. Verily, stoning is an obligation in the Book of Allah to be inflicted on married men and women who commit adultery, when their crime is proven, evident by pregnancy, or through the confession (of the adulterer).' Agreed upon.


The verse of stoning was revealed and included in the Qur'an but somehow disappeared



Musnad Ahmad 276
It was narrated that Ibn `Abbas said:
`Umar said: Allah, may He be exalted, sent Muhammad (ﷺ) and sent down the Book to him. Among that which was revealed to him was the verse of stoning. We recited it and understood it. But I fear that with the passage of time, some people will say: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allah, and as a result an obligation that Allah revealed will be forsaken. Stoning is the due punishment in the Book of Allah for those who commit zina, both men and women, if they have been married and if proof is established, or there is a pregnancy or a confession


In agreement with Aisha, the verse of stoning was revealed, recited but somehow deleted from the Qur'an of Uthman



Musnad Ahmad 1210
It was narrated that ‘Amir said:
Shurahah became pregnant and her husband was absent. Her former master took her to ‘Ali, and ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to her: Perhaps your husband came to you or perhaps someone forced you against your will? She said: No. And she admitted zina. So `Ali (رضي الله عنه) flogged her on Thursday and I was present, and he stoned her on Friday and I was present. He ordered that a hole be dug for her up to her navel, then he said: Stoning is the way of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The verse of stoning was revealed but those who used to read it and other verses of the Qur`an died in al-Yamamah.


Evidence that the verses were not perfectly memorized as revealed verses died out with the Muslims who died at the battle of al-Yamamah.

A big prophetic failure on the part of Allah who promised to protect the Qur'an.

Quran 75:16-19
"Move not your tongue concerning it to make haste therewith. Indeed, upon Us is its collection and its recitation. So when We have recited it, then follow its recitation. Then indeed, upon Us is its clarification."


Evidence that Allah failed to collect the Qur'an



Sunan Abi Dawud 4418
‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abbas said:
‘Umar b. al-Khattab gave an address saying: Allah sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with truth and sent down the Books of him, and the verse of stoning was included in what He sent down to him. We read it and memorized it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had people stoned to death and we have done it also since his death. I am afraid the people might say with the passage of time: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Books of Allah, and thus they stray by abandoning a duty which Allah had received. Stoning is a duty laid down (by Allah) for married men and women who commit fornication when proof is established, or if there is pregnancy, or a confession. I swear by Allah, had it not been so that the people might say: ‘Umar made an addition to Allah’s Book, I would have written it (there).


Umar too was bewildered about how the verse of stoning disappeared grom the Qur'an and the perfect Muslim power of perfect recitation failed all of them.

Umar is still scratching his head on the disappearance of the verse



Mishkat al-Masabih 3557
‘Umar said:
God sent Muhammad with the truth and sent down the Book to him, and the verse of stoning was included in what God most high sent down. God's Messenger had people stoned to death and we have done it also since his death. Stoning is a duty laid down in God’s Book for married men and women who commit fornication when proof is established, or if there is pregnancy, or a confession.



The verse of stoning was definitely in the book of Allah and it is a DUTY but either Abubakar or Uthman deleted it. Meaning that the extant Qur'an is an abridged version.
SMH!


Sahih Muslim 1691 a
'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:
Verily Allah sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession.


So, the book of Allah contains Rajam but the book of Muslims do not BUT Muslims think that the Qur'an is perfectly preserved!?



Musnad Ahmad 331
It was narrated from ‘Umar that he said:
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with the truth, and He sent down with him the Book. One of the things that were revealed to him was the verse of stoning. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stoned [adulterers] and we stoned [them] after him. Then he said: We used to recite , `Do not forsake your real father (and attribute yourself to someone else), for this is an act of kufr, if you do that, or it is an act of kufr to forsake your real father (and attribute yourself to someone else).` And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `Do not praise me as the son of Maryam was praised; rather I am a slave, so say: His slave and His Messenger.` Perhaps Ma`mar said: `As the Christians praised the son of Maryam.”


Other verses that somehow disappeared from the perfect memory of Muslims is

`Do not forsake your real father (and attribute yourself to someone else), for this is an act of kufr...,



Too bad that on LIES this Religion is Built with people like you doing everything to defend the indefensible




Question:
1. Do you agree that verses revealed and RECITED after the death of Mohammed like the Rajam got Expunged from the Qur'an?
2. Are you aware that argument of abrogation fails woefully here as ONLY Mohammed could abrogate a verse. If any verse was recited after Mohammed, such verse could not be said to be abrogated.

FamilyRe: Divorced (or Separated) Couples, Can You Please, Share Your Experience? by TenQ: 5:15pm On Feb 12
letskeeptalking:
I guess my real question is: knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice again?

I’m currently on the verge of divorce after 15 years of marriage and three kids.. Even though this is my decision, I feel like I have no real choice. My husband (if I can even call him that) says he doesn’t want to lose his family, but he does absolutely nothing to show it.

A lot has happened over the years, and it’s reached a point where I genuinely believe there is no future for us as a couple.

So I feel like I have two options: divorce him and move forward as a single mother… or stay, knowing I could never love him again.

I worry about my kids and how growing up with parents in a loveless marriage might shape their future relationships and choices. But then I also wonder, would they be better off growing up with a single mother?

I’m not concerned about stigma or even about finding another partner someday. Honestly, the way I feel right now, I’m ready to remain celibate for life.

If you’ve gone through this, can you please share your experience?
Do you regret your choice?
Looking back, would you make the same decision again?
Why don't you try to fix your marriage?

The outside always looks greener but it is not true!

It is easier fixing a marriage than fixing he consequences of divorce on your children.

Love is not a feeling, love is a CHOICE!

I hope you are not already entertaining another man, trust me it wouldn't work. No responsible man will date a married woman!

honesttalk21:
The claim you make presupposes its own conclusion: that multiple distinct versions of the Qur'an existed and that Uthman chose a flawed one while destroying superior alternatives. There is no historical evidence supporting the idea of competing Qur'anic canons acting as rival scriptures. While early variations in recitation are recognized, there are no indications of competing theological texts.
So,
1. Where is the verse of Rajam in your Qur'an
2. Where is the verse of breastfeeding adult men in your Qur'an

why, the verses existed till Mohammed died!

honesttalk21:
The seven aḥruf were not separate books; they represented permissible modes within a single revelation and losing these modes does not equate to losing content. Your question shows misinterpretation and understanding the nature of the seven aḥruf. No classical authority has outlined Seven distinct books,
Seven unique sets of surahs, Seven theologically separate revelations.

The aḥruf refer to permissible modes of recitation within a given revelation. Losing modes does not equate to losing content. If there were six complete Qur’ans, where are their manuscripts? Where are their lists of surahs? Where are their theological distinctions? Where are the communities that support them? They simply do not exist.

The narrations about stoning and breastfeeding are openly preserved in ḥadīth literature and addressed through the doctrine of abrogation; rejecting this theology does not prove textual collapse. The report about the sheep consuming it is weak, and even if accepted, Qur'anic preservation was widespread through mass memorization alongside written fragments not reliant on a single document.
The fact that the verse of stoning and breastfeeding were in the Qur'an till the death of Mohammed is Open for all to see.

Who removed it?

honesttalk21:
No Uthmanic original survives, but neither do any originals from other ancient scriptures. What we have are early manuscripts that show a common consonantal framework across different regions, without alternate surahs, missing chapters, or rival doctrinal Qur'ans. Standardization happened early, gained rapid acceptance, and left no competing textual families behind. That is the historical record. Whether one sees it as divine preservation or political consolidation is a matter of theological interpretation rather than a verifiable historical conclusion.
Read my lips as I didn't ask you for the copy of the Qur'an of Uthman. What I asked for was copies of copies!

Please provide one if it exist!

honesttalk21:
If Uthman froze errors, provide the rival Qur'an with or without errors he supposedly erased. If six ahruf were lost, pinpoint the missing revelation not just lost pronunciations. If standardization equals corruption, then no ancient scripture exists under your criteria.
All you needed to do was to tell me the isnad of chains of writing the Qur'an
From Mohammed, to Abubakar, to Uthman, to.....

And I've asked tou a thousand times.

Is the Qur'an of Abubakar identical to the Qur'an of Uthman?

Muslims will Become Green Birds in Paradise.

Antichristian, is the Hadith really true? Do you believe you'll become a green bird in paradise? Do you really want to become a green bird? Will the true God really turn you in a bird? What is His purpose for turning you into a green bird really? Please TenQ, can you help shed more lights into this?


The Hadith is Sahih.

Sahih Muslim 1887:

It has been narrated on the authority of Masruq Who said: We asked 'Abdullah about the Qur'anic verse: "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.." (iii. 169).

He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet) who said:

The souls, of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers.

Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: Do ye want anything? They said: What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise from wherever we like. Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they will continue to be asked and not left (without answering the question). they said: O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Thy way once again. When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven).


A Message for all Muslims. Please think deeply about you becoming a bird in paradise, and consider if truly, this Islam you so much believe in is the truth of God Almighty.

I will appreciate your response to my questions. They're not just for those people I mentioned alone.

Thank you, and may God lead us all into the Way, the Truth and the Life. May your eyes be opened.
Your are very correct for both Muslim children who died amd martyrs

Here is another hadith

The Martyr

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1641
Narrated Ka'b bin Malik:
From his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The souls of the martyrs are in green birds, suspended from the fruit of Paradise, or the trees of Paradise."
[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.



The Muslim Babies

Sahih Muslim 2662 b
'A'isha, the mother of the believers, reported that a child died and I said:
There is happiness for this child who is a bird from amongst the birds of Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Don't you know that Allah created the Paradise and He created the Hell and He created the dwellers for this (Paradise) and the denizens for this (Hell)?



Other Muslims

Sunan Ibn Majah 4271
It was narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ka’b Al-Ansari that his father used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“The believer’s soul is a bird that eats from the trees of Paradise, until it will be returned to his body on the Day when he is resurrected.”


https://sunnah.com/urn/505720
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Kab ibn Malik al-Ansari told him that his father, Kab ibn Malik, used to relate that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The ruh of the mumin is a bird that sits in the trees of the Garden until Allah returns it to his body on the day He raises him ."


Mishkat al-Masabih 1632
He quoted his father to the effect that he used to tell that God’s messenger said, “The spirit of a believer is only a bird which feeds on (Here the Arabic is ta'luqu fi. Mirqat quotes Suyuti who explains it as in the translation above. The verb can have either the sense of being attached to something or of eating) the trees of paradise till God restores him to his body on the day He resurrects it.”


Lets see how Muslims will twist the plain Hadith!



Why LIES are so many, the LIARS forget that they have spoken other contradictory lies.

IslamRe: Men’s Braids In Islam by TenQ:
honesttalk21:
When discussing the preservation of the Qur'an's text, the focus often shifts from the existence of early variations, which are well-documented, to how these variations are understood. During Caliph ʿUthman ibn ʿAffan's rule, around 650-653 CE, a standardized version of the Qur'an was created and distributed to major centers within the expanding Muslim world. Reports suggest that ʿUthman ordered the destruction of alternative texts, leading to a consistent Qur'anic text across regions. Controlled recitational differences were maintained through the canonical qira'at.
Uthman making your Quran consistent was mere Freezing the errors and adopting a unified text for everyone.
To prove this I asked
1. Where is the verse of Rajam in your Qur'an
2. Where is the verse of breastfeeding adult men in your Qur'an

So, all Uthman did was to adopt ONE out of several multiple Qur'an being recited.

honesttalk21:
A frequent topic of interest is the seven ahruf mentioned in early Islamic sources. Only one form, based on the Quraysh dialect, became the standard written text. The other six ahruf did not continue as separate written forms. Some view this as suppression, while others believe the standardized text was versatile enough to accommodate various recitational styles. Scholars debate the nature of the seven ahruf, with some considering them dialectal differences and others seeing them as linguistic classifications. Importantly, no separate Qur'anic canons arose from these variations.
So, who are those reciting the other six Ahruf of the Qur'an?

But you have other problems if you use the argument of suppression of the other Ahruf of the Qur'an
Was Mohammed wrong by asking Allah to give him other Ahruf of the Qur'an?
If Mohammed was wrong, how come Allah didn't seem to know better to correct Mohammed that multiple Ahruf will cause corruption of the Qur'an?



honesttalk21:
The lack of diverse textual families is noteworthy. In other religious traditions, multiple scriptural versions often leave behind evidence such as regional manuscripts or alternative canons. However, the Qur'an does not show such competing versions. Although ʿUthman ordered the destruction of non-standard texts, the complete disappearance of six independent traditions without any surviving evidence is rare. Early manuscripts display a shared consonantal structure.
If the other 6 Ahruf of the Qur'an are nonexistent, it is a proof that 6/7 parts of the Qur'an is lost.

Your problem is worse because there exist NO TRACE of the Standardized and Written Uthmanic Qur'an anywhere. This was why Muslims had to use the RECITATION according to Hafs (not even his Quran).


honesttalk21:
The codex of ʿAbd Allah ibn Masʿud is frequently cited as evidence of early textual diversity. He maintained a personal codex and initially resisted relinquishing it. Some reports describe differences in surah order and missing short surahs. However, early companion codices were more like personal notes than formal copies, often featuring annotations, variant readings, and personal arrangements. No distinct Ibn Masʿud manuscript tradition with a unique structure emerged. His readings were absorbed into the broader tradition, and no rival canon developed from his work. The evidence points to localized variations rather than entirely separate texts.

Stories of verses once recited but absent from the current Qur'an, such as the stoning verse, also spark debate. These accounts appear in major hadith collections and are explained in Islamic theology by the doctrine of abrogation, which allows for the withdrawal of certain revelations. Critics might view this as a retrospective explanation, but the early Muslim community did not try to include these reports in the standardized text, indicating an agreed boundary for the Qur'anic corpus.
The doctrine of abrogation holds no water for disappearance of verses. Why?

Are every verse in the Qur'an extant or some have been abrogated?

Does the verse of Rajam and breastfeeding adults in the Qur'an of Allah in paradise or not? If not, explain why Jibril recited what he did not receive from Allah to Mohammed?

Finally on this,
The verse of Rajam was in the Qur'an till Mohammed died. So, who removed it

Sunan Ibn Majah 1944: Book 9, Hadith 100
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
“The Verse of stoning and of
breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed
and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and
ate it.”


As of Mohammed's death, the Rajam was part of the Qur'an. Who removed it?

honesttalk21:
Accounts of the Prophet being reminded of verses underscore the human aspect of oral transmission, highlighting distributed memorization and communal correction. The system relied on collective recitation, not just individual memory. The inclusion of such reports in authoritative collections suggests transparency. Oral cultures often preserve complex material accurately, and in the Qur'an's case, oral transmission complemented early written records.
If Mohammed can forget the Qur'an

honesttalk21:
The early Arabic script, which initially lacked vowel marks and diacritical dots, is significant. These were added later to formalize existing recitational traditions, not to create new texts. Early manuscripts show a consistent consonantal text across regions, with only minor differences. Compared to other ancient scriptures with multiple manuscript families and unstable canons, the Qur'an achieved early consolidation.

Interpretations often hinge on initial assumptions. Viewing the Qur'an as an ancient text reflects early canon formation. From the Qur'an's claim of divine protection, historical processes can be seen as fulfilling this promise. Human efforts in compiling, standardizing, memorizing, and reciting do not contradict preservation; they may be its means.

Historically, there were early variations; ʿUthman standardized the text soon after the Prophet's death, removed alternative materials, allowed controlled recitational diversity, and the text achieved widespread consistency early on. Whether this reflects political consolidation or the successful preservation of a recognized text is open to interpretation. The absence of competing canons, early standardization, integration of companion readings, manuscript consistency, and open discussions of early variations support the idea that the Qur'an was effectively preserved in its canonical form. From an Islamic viewpoint, these historical processes represent the means through which divine preservation was realized.
Falsehoods in islam are easily revealed with simple questions

1. Was the Qur'an of Uthman identical to the Qur'an of Abubakar?
2. Muslims seem to forget that the Quran was collected an written in the lifetime of Mohammed.

Muslim scholars edited and re-edited the Qur'an and then backtracked it to the time of Mohammad with their own fabricated Isnad. The lack of paper trails is an evidence that they intentionally removed whatever earlier Quran from History.

honesttalk21:
You are equating early standardization with textual corruption, but these are not the same thing, and conflating them is a misunderstanding.

Historical records indicate early written variation, followed by consolidation under Uthman and a lasting textual stability. The documented variations are orthographic and dialectal within an oral culture, rather than competing bodies of revelation. This reflects the formation of the canon, not a collapse of the text.

All canonical readings share the same structure of surahs and verse counts. No canonical reading includes extra surahs, omits surahs, or contains doctrinal contradictions. If corruption occurred as you suggest, we would expect to see:

Competing textual frameworks with differing verse counts

Canonical readings with added or missing surahs

Doctrinal contradictions among recognized readings

However, we find none of these.

Reports about rajm or similar narrations exist in the most authoritative sources (Bukhari and Muslim). A tradition that aimed to hide corruption would not retain reports that critics later use as evidence. This is documentation, not suppression. You may disagree with the theological explanation of abrogation, but rejecting a doctrine does not equate to proving textual loss.

If your assertion is that preservation has failed, then provide empirical evidence:

Show a different surviving rasm between Hafs, Warsh, Qalun, or ad-Duri (remove dots and vowels and compare the consonantal framework)

Identify a canonical verse found in one reading but missing in another. Produce a doctrinal contradiction arising from canonical readings

None of this has been shown.

In the absence of such evidence, the argument remains interpretive rather than textual. When asserting corruption, the burden of proof lies with those making the claim.
I an not conflicting anything. Your argument was that the primary mode of transmission of the Qur'an was oral and that it is perfect. My argument was that your Qur'an was already corrupted well before the standardisation. This means that your standardized Qur'an is a form of adopting ONE SEY of errors (Freezing the errors and adopting a unified text for everyone.

To prove this I asked
1. Was the Qur'an of Abubakar identical with the Qur'an of Uthman?

2. Was it true than Muslims used to RECITE the verse of Rajam and breastfeeding of adult men?
Can you please remind me of what the perfect memory of Muslims memorized in the verses

Muslims are like a person given a book to keep. The pages scattered because someone loosed the bound. The wind carried off some of the verses in the book. Someone comes and puts the remaining book together in no particular order and called it the STANDARDIZED text, perfect and exactly the same as the original copy. SMH!

Why they don't give contracts to companies from the high income world is because they quote more because of high personnel costs due to high cost of living in those countries. If the Chinese are asking for one billion dollars when Siemens say they will take three billion dollars, how will Siemens win the bid? It is the same reason manufacturing has almost all left high income countries.
True BUT the underlying problem is corruption. Chinese or Indian companies can bid low but the price of the awarded contract usually much higher sometimes up to 300% the ordinary cost.

Siemens quoted $3 Billion
China Quoted $1.8 Billion but was awarded the contract for $2.9 billion with difference pocketed.

You're right—the problem isn't the presence of politicians in Nigeria; it's that ours operate without accountability.

The power sector illustrates the difficulties within our electoral system:

1. Tariff Politics: Keeping prices low for the sake of popularity results in revenue shortfalls for generation companies, leading to neglected maintenance and bailouts instead of essential reforms.
This is certainly NOT one of the problems.
The cost per unit electricity in UK is $0.35, USA is $0.17 and i. Nigeria is $0.13. The cost difference between USA and Nigeria is not that great especially considering the fact that salaries of Electricity workers are much smaller.



Ohyoudidnt:
2. Gas-to-Power Breakdown: Unpaid gas suppliers lead to supply disruptions, leaving turbines idle despite their potential, which fosters the narrative of technical constraints.
This is an administration and management problem as the unpaid gas suppliers do jot have anything to do with consumer not paying.

Ohyoudidnt:
3. Grid Bottleneck: Weak transmission limits output, so even though we have available generation, it cannot be distributed effectively, causing persistent blackouts despite installed capacity. This is key to the initial Nnaji recommendation from his time as minister that I referred you to.
I think until we generate up to 8GW of electric power, we have no right to blame the transmission networks.


Ohyoudidnt:
4. Reform Without Reform: Subsidies, emergency repairs, fuel imports, and opaque contracts become more lucrative than ensuring a consistent supply, turning dysfunction into a profitable model.

Countries that function well don’t have fewer politicians; they enforce accountability. Here, the institutions meant to restrict power are instead dominated by it.
I am 100% in agreement with you here. Nothing else to add.





What do you think would happen if a company like Siemens is contracted to build a 20GW turbine station powered from direct supply of crude oil?

Do you think the company cannot build a Modular Refinery to produce the kind of fuel required fro their turbines?

Do you think that a company like Siemens after Building such a power station cannot build parallel national grid for its energy distribution?



Unfortunately,even if our politicians are convinced to do this, they will look for a Chinese or Indian company to execute the project rather than giving it to a German, UK, Korean, Israeli or Japanese companies?

You are still merging categories and then blaming Muslims for inconsistency because they reject the confusion you've created.

Uthman did not standardize the Qur’an into a single version. He standardized the written form in the Quraysh dialect, as it was the dialect of the Prophet and most widely understood just as noted in Sahih al-Bukhari. This decision was about orthography, not revelation.
Muslims with spontaneous fabrications
1. So, were the other six dialects written down or only the Quarysh dialect was written down?
2. Where are the other six Ahruf of your Qur'an


Is it untrue that many scholars Ibn Ḥajar and others interpreted “seven aḥruf” to mean seven dialects/modes of Arabic speech current among the Arab tribes at that time, so that the Qur’an could be firm yet flexible for different groups.
Some of the dialects commonly mentioned in commentary literature include those of Quraysh, Hudhayl, Thaqīf, and others

Why pretend that you are not aware of this to project false narratives


honesttalk21:
Indeed, the rasm lacked dots or vowels. However, this is not a flaw; it is intentional. The ambiguous script was designed to accommodate oral recitations that were already preserved through mass memorization. When diacritics were introduced later, they didn't alter the text; they merely recorded what the reciters had been publicly transmitting.

You continue to insist on a model of preservation based solely on manuscripts. Islam has never claimed such a model.
All Semitic languages had only consonant letters not by design but because their script was less advanced. It was about the 8th century that they all began to have vowels and diacritical marks which included pronunciations into the text.

Your literatures have repeatedly concluded that memorisation of the Qur'an was a flawed system with verses forgotten, dispute over recitations. Even Mohammed forgot the Qur'an


Sahih al-Bukhari 5037-5038;
Narrated Aishah:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) heard a man reciting the Qur'an in the mosque and said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him, as he has reminded me of such-and-such verses of such Surah."


Sahih Muslim 788
A variant wording in Muslim emphasizes: "May Allah have mercy upon him; he reminded me of the verse which I had been made to forget."


But according you, Muslims have better memories than their prophet.
SMH!

honesttalk21:
Preservation in Islam is tawatur—distributed, convergent, mass transmission anchored to a unified rasm. All canonical qiraʾat:

• Share the same consonantal structure
• Follow the same order of surahs
• Maintain the same verse structure
• Convey identical doctrinal content

If you argue otherwise, please provide a difference in rasm among Hafs, Warsh, Qalun, or ad-Duri. Remove the dots and vowels and demonstrate a different consonantal foundation. You cannot - because it doesn’t exist.
I will if you can only show me ancient Qur'an backed up with their Isnad to confirm that they are Warsh, Hafs, Qalun, Al-Duri etc.

Do you accept my challenge?

LOL! Muslims that cannot find a single full copy of the Uthmanic Qur'an is throwing a challenge!
SMH!!

honesttalk21:
Regarding Maliki vs. Maliki or similar variations; yes, there are minor lexical differences within the same rasm. These have always been known, documented, and transmitted through tawatur. They do not create new doctrines or missing verses nor do they present competing texts. Variation within authorized readings iis not corruption it reflects controlled divinely allowed diversity.

The reference to Umm al-Kitab/Lawh Mahfuz is another category error. It signifies God’s eternal knowledge rather than a physical manuscript with dots in heaven. Revelation came as recitation. What is preserved is the revealed text, and every canonical qiraʾa transmits that same revelation.

There aren’t multiple Qur’ans. There is one Qur’an conveyed through multiple authorized readings within the same rasm.

You are challenging a model of preservation that Islam has never asserted. Eliminate that incorrect assumption, and your objection falls apart.
What I have showed you is that Memorisation as a means of preservation of the Qur'an is grossly flawed.

You're not identifying contradictions; rather, you're persistently in making category errors.

Seven ahruf do not equal seven Qur’ans. These were divinely allowed oral variations, not competing texts. Authorized variation cannot lead to corruption.

Asking “Name the seven ahruf” is a misguided request. No source states that there were seven named books or lists of dialects. Classical scholars assert that they were practiced rather than cataloged.
Muslims will twist their own history until it doesn't makes sense even to themselves.
So then, tell me why Uthman standardised his Qur'an into a single Ahruf using the Quraysh dialect?



honesttalk21:
Uthman r.a standardized the script, not the revelation itself. He unified the written rasm to eliminate pronunciation disputes and no verses were added, removed, or altered; oral transmission continued with thousands.

Ibn Masʿud never possessed a different Qur’an. Claims of missing surahs are weak and isolated, easily countered by mass transmission (tawstur). No community has ever adhered to a 111-surah Qur’an.

The emphasis on recitation over manuscripts reflects history rather than failure. The Qur’an was mainly preserved through public memorization; writing served as an additional support.

Your question “Which Qur’an is in heaven?” lacks substance. Revelation is maintained as recited text, not as a celestial codex. All canonical readings express the same Qur’an.

There are no multiple Qur’ans. No lost chapters. No corrupt chains.
You are challenging a manuscript-only model that Islam never asserted.
Preservation remains intact. The objection continuously fails.
Al-Musliimas will rather tell lies than admit the Truth they do not want
Repeating falsehood a million times will not make it become the truth sir.
Sorry, Uthman did NOT standardize the script.
Uthman's Arabic script was without diacritical marks and is known as rasm style.

In this form readers supply vowels via memorization and context. Dots were added later (8th century CE)

So, there exist no Umm al-Kitab with Allah?

Isn't your Qur'an supposed to be word for word identical to the Umm al-Kitab/Lawh Mahfuz

So, the Question again, which one of your Arabic Qur'an is the EXACT copy of the Book of Allah!

The problem is when you put politicians in charge of Technological Innovation and Development. They will leave the problem to face their personal gains.

2. Who doesn't know that a core part of the reform is transparency in transmission of results
3. Who doesn't know that real time transmission of results will curb electoral malpractices

Flared gas isn't power fuel; it remains stranded, unprocessed, and disconnected from turbines. Most power plants in Nigeria run solely on gas, with only a few dual-fuel units available. Operating on diesel is two to three times more expensive. The installed capacity of 13 GW includes plants that are currently inactive, but their inactivity is due to gas shortages, lack of payment, and inadequate maintenance not because of nonexistent capacity. This is why generation typically falls between 3.5 and 5 GW and less, which is significantly lower than the transmission capacity of 8 to 8.5 GW. The primary limitation is the availability of generation not the grid until improvements are made to gas infrastructure and payment practices.
After going round and round, you finally agreed that the problem is that we are not even generating enough.

Fuel for turbines are not rocket fuels virtually any fuel type will work. Turbines are not as picky as internal combustion engine for the FUEL type used.

You're not identifying a problem; rather, you're mischaracterizing the preservation model.

1. Uthman and the dialect (Quraysh):
ʿUthman standardized the rasm (consonantal skeleton) in the Quraysh dialect to avoid regional disputes, not to replace existing memorization. Oral transmission was already widespread and continuous.
Meaning that
1. Mohammed and Allah were wrong in giveng the Qur'an in more than one Ahruf

Sahih Muslim 821 a
Ubayy b. Ka'b reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was near the tank of Banu Ghifar that Gabriel came to him and said:

Allah has commanded you to recite to your people the Qur'an in one dialect. Upon this he said: I ask from Allah pardon and forgiveness. My people are not capable of doing it. He then came for the second time and said: Allah has commanded you that you should recite the Qur'an to your people in two dialects. Upon this he (the Holy prophet) again said: I seek pardon and forgiveness from Allah, my people would not be able to do so. He (Gabriel) came for the third time and said: Allah has commanded you to recite the Qur'an to your people in three dialects. Upon this he said: I ask pardon and forgiveness from Allah. My people would not be able to do it. He then came to him for the fourth time and said: Allah has commanded you to recite the Qur'an to your people in seven dialects, and in whichever dialect they would recite, they would be right.


Tell me, why dod Allah agree with Mohammad into giving confusing Ahrufs that ended up corrupting the Qur'an?

honesttalk21:
2.No copies of the seven Qur'ans survived?
This is a misleading assertion. Early manuscripts and fragments that align with the ʿUthmānic rasm do exist (Topkapi, Tashkent, Birmingham, Paris, Tübingen). Preservation has never relied on a single museum-quality grade artifact remaining intact for 1400 years.
So, can you kindly give me the names of these SEVEN ahruf of the Qur'an and the copies of their copy?


honesttalk21:
3. Muslims switched to Hafṣ
I ncorrect. Hafṣ is not a source of the Qur'an; he transmitted one canonical reading among several, all preserved by tawatur. His modern prevalence reflects printing logistics, not the loss of other readings, which continue to exist (Warsh, Qalun, ad-Duri).
You did not answer my questions.
Let me elaborate.

If the Quran was written in the time of Uthman, there should exist only two names in the isnad of your Qur'an: Mohammed and Uthman QED!
But here you have your Qur'an according to the RECITATION not WRITING nor COPY of Uthman's Qur'an.

If there is a physical copy of the Qur'an your other copies must be from it and not from someone's memory.


honesttalk21:
4. Ibn Masʿud and early variation:
Ibn Masʿud did not possess a different Qur'an. His personal codex included dialectal variants and notes but no doctrinal differences. ʿUthmān standardized public recitation to unify dialect not to correct poor or failed memory.
It is shocking that you a Muslim did not know that Ibn Mas'uds Qur'an had ONLY 111 surah. Ibn Mas'ud's version reportedly omitted Surah al-Fatiha (Chapter 1), al-Falaq (113), and an-Nas (114)—known as al-Mu'awwidhatayn.

5. Abu Bakr's compilation:
This was not aimed at stopping memorization errors. It served as a written backup for what thousands already knew by heart after many memorizers fell in battle. Writing supported memory did not replace or erase it.
Muslims always think they can get away with fabrications like this.

Sahih al-Bukhari 4987
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to `Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to `Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Qur'an) as Jews and the Christians did before." So `Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to `Uthman. `Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, `Abdullah bin AzZubair, Sa`id bin Al-As and `AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. `Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, `Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. `Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt.


Did you see DIFFERENCES in the RECITATION of the Qur'an?

First, Allah made the mistake of giving the Qur'an in seven dialects. Now, we see that they recite differently the Qur'an.

6. "Pen vs memory" and Allah creating the Pen:
This is obvious category error. The ḥadīth regarding the Pen pertains to divine decree and foreknowledge (God's eternal knowledge), not human methods of preservation. Islam deliberately employs both:

Oral mass transmission (primary, self-verifying)

Written copies (secondary, corroborative)
What is the Pen used for?
What is a book?

honesttalk21:
7. Who is the sole authority to correct the Qur'an?
There is no single authority by design. Preservation is distributed rather than centralized. Millions of memorizers across generations mutually verify the text. A single authority would create a single point of failure.

You're critiquing a manuscript-only, centralized model that Islam has never advocated for. The Qur'an has been preserved through extensive oral transmission supported by writing not through one narrator, one codex, or one authority.

This is a category error. Preservation remains intact. Your objection fails.
Even the first generation of Muslims differed in recital of the Qur'an not to speak of modern Muslims. The Shia Muslims.

The Question is, which of your extant Qur'an is the exact copy of the Qur'an of Allah?
IslamRe: Men’s Braids In Islam by TenQ: 10:49am On Feb 10
honesttalk21:
The assertion that everyone had their own qiraa prior to 1924 is incorrect. The established qiraat were standardized by scholarly consensus in the early centuries of Islam and formally codified by Ibn Mujahid in 324 AH (936 CE), almost a thousand years before the Cairo edition, which only standardized printing rather than transmission or revelation. Hafs is not a source of the Quran but rather a transmitter of an already established reading that existed alongside others; his current dominance can be attributed to Ottoman and modern printing methods, while Warsh and other readings continue to be used. Allegations of a faulty chain conflate Hafs, the Quran reciter, with unrelated hadith narrators and misapply single chain hadith critiques to Quranic transmission, which has been preserved through tawatur by countless memorizers. Early Uthmanic codices and fragments exist that align with the consonantal text, but the Quran was mainly maintained through extensive oral transmission, with writing serving as support. Insisting on one original manuscript imposes a document-based standard on a primarily oral system this is a category error. The preservation remains valid.
You are simply just reciting the Standard Islamic Narration about the origin of the written Qur'an.

Here is the problem:
1. Uthman standardised the Quran in one dialect (Quraysh)
2. Uthman wrote down the standardized Qur'an
3. Uthman made 7 identical copies of this standardized Qur'an and distributed it to seven major Islamic regions


BUT Somehow, Muslims couldn't find a copy of copies of the Uthmanic Qurans from ANY of the seven original copies.

Muslims then went on a SPREE of RECITATION according to...... according to...... according to .... according to Hafs.

Can you tell me what happened to the original standardized Qur'an of Uthman?

Evidence within Islamic sources had shown that Muslims have terrible memories and memorisation of their Qur'an. Right from Inception, Ibn Mas'ud differ from the Uthmanic Qur'an. Variations exists from the beginning of Islam such that Abubakar's Quran was to stop this error or memorisation of the Qur'an.

The Pen is mightier than any memory but Muslims disagree. So then we ask them why Allah created the PEN first when he could rely on memory AND can any Muslim tell us the person recognised as the sole authority on the Qur'an that such can correct the extant written Qur'an and you will follow him?
IslamRe: Men’s Braids In Islam by TenQ: 5:05am On Feb 10

1924 didn't select Hafs as God's Qur'an but rather standardized an already accepted reading for educational purposes. All qiraʾat are still valid; having multiple readings of the same text demonstrates preservation rather than corruption, and referring to them as different Qur'ans is a fundamental misunderstanding.
No problem !
The only issue is that before 1924, everyone had their own Qirat of the Qur'an . Hafs version was chosen (even though it had faulty chain of transmission according to Muslim rules) as a STANDARD and now Approximately 95% of Muslims worldwide use the Hafs recitation of the Quran.

Unfortunately, this is another problem
1. Where are the copies of the Qur'an of Uthman?

After Uthman standardised the Qur'an, he made 7 copies of the WRITTEN Qur'an. Copies were sent to key cities like Medina, Mecca, Kufa, Basra, Damascus, Yemen, and Bahrain, with orders to burn variant fragments to prevent disputes
