Yeah and Memorized by over 1000 people and written down according to historical evidence, we cannot find anything from the 1st century even mentioning Jesus(p).
Well my evidence comes from what i understand to be a respected and revered companion of the Prophet, Zayd ibn Thabit, and another respected Muslim scholar who lived during this time Imam Zuhri (born 50 H.)
Zuhri reports, 'We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed but that those who had memorised them fell in the Yemama fighting. Those passages had not been written down, and following the deaths of those who knew them, were no longer known;"
-This is a clear statement the entire portions of the Koran have been simply lost.
aid b. Thabit says The Prophet died and the Quran had not been assembled into a single place.
Another statement demonstrating that the compiling of the Koran did not happen until after the Prhophet.
Zaid b. Thabit then record that
'Hudaifa b. al Yeman came to `Uthman direct from the Aderbaijan and Armenian frontier where, uniting the forces from Iraq and those from Syria, he had had an opportunity to observe regional differences over the Qur'an. "Commander of the faithful," he advised,
"take this umma in hand before they differ about the Book like Christians and Jews."
When they had copied the sheets, `
Uthman sent a copy to each of the main centers of the empire with the command that all other Qur'an materials, whether in single sheet form, or in whole volumes, WERE TO BE BURNED
This is what lead to the single codification of the Koran,
however, there where problems and discrepancies with this text in comparison to other versions.
Uthmans text omitted chapters and verses that the other texts included:
According to Ibn Umar and Aisha, Muhammads wife, one chapter, Surah al-Ahzab [33] had 200 verses in Muhammads time. Yet, once Uthman was finished only 73 verses remained, eliminating nearly 140 verses. This tradition is also confirmed by Ubay b. Kabb. (True Guidance, p. 61 citing Al-Suyutis al-Itqan fii ulum al-Qur'an on nasikh wa mansukh and Darwazas al-Qur'an Al-Majid)
So in summary, respected Muslim scholars who lived during and shortly after Muhammad's death recored confusion in the texts and the loss of Koranic verses/surahs.
Wrong, it doesn't say its ''Unchanged'' it says it is ''CHANGED'' and it wouldn't contradict false statements again, there are many Islamic scholars/debaters who ''refuted'' the bible from A to Z.
Sahih International
[2:89]And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.
This Surah says that the Book from Allah confirms that which was with them.
[2:101] Now that a messenger from GOD has come to them,* and even though he proves and confirms their own scripture, some followers of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) disregard GOD's scripture behind their backs, as if they never had any scripture.
This Surah says that a messenger from God (Muhammad) proves and confirms their own scriptures, and goes further to say that some disregard GOD's scripture by ignoring what they already had.
I have 14 other verses that use same phrasings and wordings that all mean the same thing.
-Sura 2:97 -Sura 2:42 -Sura 3:81 -Sura 4:47 -Sura 5:47 -Sura 5:48 -Sura 6:92 -Sura 10:37 -Sura 10:94 -Sura 12:111 -Sura 35:31 -Sura 37:37 -Sura 46:12 -Sura 46:30
Sura 10:64 says "Theirs are good tidings in the life of the world and in the Hereafter - There is no changing the Words of Allah - that is the Supreme Triumph. "
This verse states that there is no changing the Words of Allah.
The point of this is that all these verses state that the Koran confirms the previous scriptures that the Jews and Christians already have. If one makes the claim that they were already corrupted at this point, the Koran is now stating that these books are still the words of Allah and the truth. Allah cannot be confirming corrupted books.
Furthermore, the Koran states that the words of Allah cannot be changed. This would apply to all of his revelations, not just the Koran, but also both Testaments.
I agree?
Question what do you belief that the bible is the dictated words of god, inspired writings, eye-witness testimony? You have to pick one, two or all of them to even ''start'' this kind of debate.
I believe the Bible is inspired by God.
