another fact that the Quran has been preserved in its original form for so long and all over
should be another miracle to prove its holiness
and The Well of Zamzam should be the 8th Wonder of the World
Well i wouldn't be entirley sure about that i mean it is an amazing claim to make and most likely in my mind untrue.
Lets take for example the first of what i call changes or possible changes to the Quran, the killing of many of the companions in the Rida, this even if there were many companions must have surely lead to some kind of knowledge gap between the original teachings and what was memorised by the companions.
Second the compiling of the first written Quran by caliph Uthman (may be wrong about it being first written but its the roots for the modern Qurani believe) Caliph Uthman collected together all variations of the Quaran which he deemed unacceptable etc and burnt them, now he may have done this to preserve the original ideas who knows.
Thirdly this quote "owing to the fact that the kufic script in which the Koran was originally written contained no indication of vowels or diacritical points, variant readings are recognized by Muslims as of equal authority." (N.J. Dawood, The Koran, Middlesex, England: Penguin Books, 1983, p 10, introduction to Dawood’s translation of the Koran)
this quote "the Reading of Abu `Amr in the version of al-Duri ... prevails in the Sudan, Nigeria, and Central Africa." (Labib as-Said, The Recited Koran: A History of the First Recorded Version, tr. B. Weis, et al, Princeton, New Jersey: The Darwin Press, 1975, p. 84)
Now im not saying that the Quran has been changed i just take offense when Muslims claim it has obviously neve ever been modified in any way.
there was an original Qur'an written at the time of Abu Bakr
Abu Bakr appointed Zayd ibn Thabit to collect the proper verses
Zayd was one of the few who were literate, he memorized the whole Qur'an during the Prophet's time, and he used to write down verses of the Qur'an while the Prophet recited it to him
Zayd went around to collect proper verses, if it was the same as his then he would record it
so I don't think there would be any mistake in it
and plus, Allah has promised to keep it as it is till the end of time, and so far no change to it. I mean if no one was able to change it during the 1400 years, then I don't believe the ppl who memorized it will forget any of the Qur'an in like 5 years after the Prophet died, coz they used to read it every day
it would stay in their hearts
that's another miracle of the Qur'an, it was made to be easily memorized, and it is easy :biggrin:
and back to evolution, I'm still not convinced (even by a tiny bit) that it's a fact. it's all :bs:
do you ppl think that either we will be extinct or we will keep evolving until we're some sort of homo-faggotaurus or something :dontknow:
coz I believe in an end of time, the 2nd coming of the Isa (Jesus) and the false Messiah, when everything will die, this earth will be turned to dust and then the day of Judgement
