Christian/Muslim ThreadsNo Proof Quran Copied from Bible, Gnostic or Jewish SourcesIn the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful But again there is NO PROOF the three books you mentioned were in Arabic during the Prophet's time. They might be available in other languages, but not Arabic. Unless you come out with some suggestion that the Prophet can read Greek or Aramaic then the presupposition that the Prophet copied from these books is purely a conjecture. 3) I suppose you quoted Waraqa to point out that the Prophet might have gained information from him or that Waraqa was his teacher? Could Waraqa ibn Nawfal be the 'teacher' of the Prophet? If LOki had read the hadith and the history of Islam, he would have known that Waraqa was an old man when the Prophet received the revelations and he died shortly afterwards. The revelations continued for over 20 years after the death of Waraqa in different places. How could Waraqa be his teacher then? 4) Loki said It is more a BLIND ACCUSATION, I must say. To think that a Christian, who is knowledgeable in the Bible, has a consience to accuse someone WITHOUT PROOF, is going against the teachings of the Bible itself! 5) Having failed to give any carbon-dating of the apocryphal books (when he made such a bold statement that ALL the apocryphas had been carbon dated), maybe he could then continue with his studies (thru Internet or other sourcers) and tell us how he could come to such a remarkable claim. 6) Loki said Well, he quoted Waraqa and I have given my reply. But to say that historians agree on the 'copying' thing is basically only his claim. Historians are professionals, and they try to provide evidence thru proper historical datings and substantiated by external and internal evidences. Loki mistook 'historians' here to be 'Christians who attack Islam withour proof'. To quote one Swiss journalist and author, Roger DuPasquier:
7) If I can give a suggestion to Loki and others here: If you can just put away your prejudice against Islam for once, learn the religion in an objective way (you dont have to accept it)..... you will find that the Quran and Bible have many things in agreement. Try it. I have many prejudices against Christianity before...it is only when I try to learn more that I appreciate the meaning of objectivity. salam |
