Christian/Muslim ThreadsNo Proof Quran Copied from Bible, Gnostic or Jewish SourcesGreetings Abdullah,
First of all, thanks for not denying that your “prophet” never penned the Koranic text as we know it today. Secondly, thanks for not denying that there are NO “original” extant copies of the Koran that exist in the world, today. Finally, Christians accept the OT equally with the NT. They are one complete Revelation. They co-exist and compliment each other. One does not correct the other. Islam, on the other hand, has taken the notion that their collection of previous Jewish and Christian scriptures (called the Koran), somehow supercedes, corrects, and clarifies the very scriptures from whence it borrows itself from….! See the difference? I think that you do… Here is the original classic Arabic meaning: الْقُرْآنَ = “alqur-ana” “alqur-ana” definition: Originally meaning the Collection; “I collected together the thing” or “I read, or recited, the book or scripture”; and then conventionally applied to signify the Book of God that was revealed to Mohammad; it also signifies the revelation, meaning that which is termed the mighty, or imitable which is read, or recited, and written in books or volumes. A name for the Book of God, like the book of the Law revealed to Moses and the Gospel. It comes from the root “qara’a”, which has the primary signification he collected together the thing; put it, or drew it, together; part to part, or portion to portion. He read, or recited, the scripture chanting; he read or recited anything in any manner, without, or from, or in a book. References: An Arabic-English Lexicon, E.W. Lane, volume seven, pp. 2502 - 2504 The Dictionary of the Holy Qur’an, 1st edition, Abdul Mannan Omar, pp. 448 - 449 It appears that you need to understand your terminology somewhat better. Here is the classic definition for “Koran”: قُرْآنَ is so called because it has collected the histories of the prophets, and commands and prohibitions, and promises and threats, and the verses or signs, and the chapters. This is a vital clue to what “the collection” contains….verses and chapters are from Books.
Since the Koran is 99% Biblical material, you tell me which parts are then “corrupt”..... Please...take your time... Perhaps you will think twice about counting others work as your own by learning to reference other people’s work that is included into your posts... Thanks... |
