The FIRST 2 QUR'ANS are probably the most damaging!

We now come to some of the more damaging material concerning the Historical Problems with the Qur'an, and this has to do with the very first 2 Qur'ans ever written, the first by Zaid ibn Thabit, under the authority of the caliph Abu Bakr, in 632 AD, and the second, again by Zaid ibn Thabit, but this time under the authority of the caliph Uthman, 20 years later, in 652 AD. So, let's look at the problems which exist with these first two Qur'ans.
Qur'an #1 (Zaid ibn Thabit's Qur'an, written in 632 AD authorized by Abu Bakr)
To know anything about this first recension we have to go to al Bukhari 6:509, written in 850-870 AD, a good 240 years after the fact. We have nothing earlier.
Here, then are the questions we need to ask about Abu Bakr’s 1st compilation of the Qur’an
1) Why didn’t God choose a language which could accommodate the Qur’an?
• (i.e. no diacritical marks, nor vowellization until the 8th - 9th centuries)
• Hebrew & Greek already existed, and were previously used…why not use either of them?
2) Why didn’t God choose a man who could ‘read and write’?
• Writing down the Qur’an and preserving it was his primary remit
• So, why didn’t he do either before he died?
3) Why didn’t Muhammad learn to read and write (Arabic only has 28 letters)?
• He had 22 years to do so (Note: I learned to read Arabic in 2 weeks!)
4) What about Zaid ibn Thabit? He was Muhammad’s secretary! Isn’t that his job?
5) Why didn’t Abu Bakr make copies and disperse them to the 9 provinces in 634 AD, as Uthman did later on?
• These included: Basra, Baghdad, Damascus, Jerusalem, Cairo, Alexandria, Aden, Herat, and Nishapur
6) Muslims say 1,000s died at Yamama, though the traditions tell us only 70 Hafiz (those who memorized the Qur’an) died
• Doesn’t this prove that there were very few who actually knew the Qur’an?
• Doesn’t this also prove that there was a real crisis with the Qur’an?
• Doesn’t this moreover prove that memorization wasn’t good enough to preserve the Qur’an?
Qur'an #1 (Zaid ibn Thabit's Qur'an, written in 652 AD authorized by Uthman)
To know anything about this second recension we have to go to al Bukhari 6:510, written in 850-870 AD, a good 240 years after the fact. We have nothing earlier.
Here, then are the questions we need to ask about Uthman's 2nd compilation of the Qur’an
7) How could there be dialectical differences in the mid 7th c.?
• Dialects require diacritical marks, and vowellization
• These were not introduced until the 8th century
• And they were not finalized until possibly another century later
8) Why did Uthman burn all of the other copies?
• Doesn’t that suggest that they didn’t agree?
• Wouldn’t it be great to have them to compare with?
• Note: These were manuscripts he burned, not recitation, because you can't burn recitations, unless you can burn someone's mouth, or tongue.
9) The fact that Zaid ibn Thabit came upon Surah 33:23 with one man (Khuzaima bin Thabit al-Ansari), proves the Qur’an wasn’t even complete in 632 AD.
10) Could there have been many others Surahs he missed?
11) What about the material which was lost with those killed at the battle of Yamama?
12) If there was a 2nd Qur’an in 652 AD, why, now are there many different Arabic Qur’ans?
13) What about the earliest extant manuscripts which do exist? Should we not take a look at them to find out just how similar they are to our present Hafs text?

    Good decision. Just in case you aren't aware of this; Bill Warner, years ago, uploaded a video to KZread that was a bombshell. I studied Geek and Roman history pretty intensively at university but the explanations given for the fall of the Western half of the Roman Empire never made sense to me. Warner's video answered just about every question I ever had on the subject. Below is the link to that video in case you are interested. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppOF0ttpnbvNaLw.html

    @@farazahmadkhan2542 You lowiq mohemadan, the Christian faith is not dependent on a book. Christians don't say that the Bible is the perfectly preserved word of God right down to the letter. Comparing the Bible and the koooran is like comparing apples to oranges. Both books have different sources of origins and different modes of transmission. The followers of the Bible don't claim that the Bible is the unaltered, literal word of God. It's well known among Christians that the Bible is a compilation of books written by men, transmitted by men and preserved by men. The Christian faith is not dependent on the Bible. The Bible is just a historical record of people's experiences with divinity over the course of time. On the other hand, the koooran has plenty of variants, yet mohemadans believe that there is only one koooran and that the variants are the 7 different recitations. But this is a bogus claim and a lie and propaganda because this claim doesn't live up to academic scrutiny. The mohemadans only make up this lie about there being one koooran and 7 different recitations to make themselves feel better.

    I have to say that i never thought about it. But I think there's something else here, Apparently, one day, one of the Followers of Muhammed heard another one reciting a verse in a different way, so he challenged him, and they went together to see Muhammed, they recited to him, and Muhamed told them: You're right and he's right (about two recitations of the same verse that were so different that it sparked a quarrel) I think Muhammed forgot what he alleged was revealed to him, because he was a liar, and liars forget their lies, and in fact nothing was revealed to him, he just made it up. So in order to get away with his lies, he told his followers that it was revealed to him in different dialects. But its true that the whole thing does not make sense.

    As my parents always used to say: “if you tell 1 lie, now you need to remember it, but also cover it with more lies and this will be your undoing” Eventually you won’t be able to remember what was the LIE & what was the TRUTH, now you brain has a dilemma & this causes a mental overload. That’s why it was sooooo easy to call Mohammad out for LYING. Notice how Jesus ALWAYS said: “I tell you the TRUTH” when stating a fact, and he NEVER LIED, EVER. The TRUTH is always easier to recite than a LIE, coz the TRUTH NEVER CHANGES.

I know that Arrianism originated in Alexandria. Thank you. For the benefit of some people who may not know, Arius was a bishop who believed that jesus was created by God. In other words they denied his divinity. What does this remind you of Had to add this. When the barbarians overran the western Roman empire many of them had been following this form of christianity for several centuries, rather than paganism. This did not go down well with the local catholic population....in the long term pagans like the Frank's and Saxons did better as they eventually converted to trinitarian christianity.

    Dialects can differ in pronunciation, true. They can ALSO differ in vocabulary and grammar, both of which show up just fine in a vowel-less text. For example, some linguists claim to be able to distinguish dialects in the (undotted) Old Testament. Here, for example, is part of the Sermon on the Mount in Scots. Ye ar the licht o the warld. A toun biggit on a hill-tap canna be hoddit; an again, whan fowk licht a lamp, they pit-it-na- ablo a meal-bassie, but set it up on the dresser-heid, an syne it gies licht for aabodie i the houss. See at your licht shines that gate afore the warld, sae at aabodie may see your guid deeds an ruise your Faither in heiven This obviously isn't English or American, but it is clearly within the "mutual intelligibility" range needed to be classified as a dialect. Even if it is an official minority language of the EU. And the verse above is taken from an actual published translation of the New Testament into Scots from the Greek. Let's take out the vowels (except for words that are just a vowel): Y r th lcht o th wrld. A tn bggt n a hlltp cnn b hddt, n gn, whn fwk lcht a lmp, th pttnbl a mlbss bt st t p n th drssrhd, n sn t gs lcht fr bd i th hss. S t yr lcht shns tht gt fr th wrld, s t bd my s yr gd dds n rs yr Fthr n hvn. Note in particular that what would be "lght" in vowel-less English is "lcht" in Scots. That's a DIALECT difference. What would be "blt" in English (built) is "bggt" in Scots (biggit). That's a DIALECT difference. It's true that SOME differences (warld vs world, Faither vs Father, heiven vs heaven) are erased by removing the worlds, but others are NOT. I have demonstrated previously that MODERN Arabic dialects can be distinguished without vowels. It may very well be the case that the dialects of Arabic relevant in the seventh century could not, BUT THIS IS A VERY UNLIKELY CLAIM THAT REQUIRES POSITIVE EVIDENCE. Not only that, it's a claim you don't NEED.

    Sorry, I couldn't read it with the vowels. I can infer some words because I know the passage but I still couldn't guess parts. Without the vowels it was gibberish. I wouldn't know what it was. I can't even guess many words. The spelling is so different it's completely different words. I'm familiar with the sound of Scotch English, German, French, Spanish, and can speak several dialects of English plus. A Filipino wouldn't be able to tell any that it was actual words much less which book it was from. It wouldn't even be a useful reminder to someone who was being told what it says. Filipinos and American blacks who hear standard English every day of their lives through the media have trouble reading and writing because of the difference between their preferred dialect and written English. Thinking a person who never heard a dialect & never saw the text can read it and know what it means without vowels is ludicrous.

    @@MarkProffitt Your last sentence does not seem to be related to anything I wrote or implied. In fact you are making my point for me, which is that even without vowels, the "same" text in two dialects of the same language can be VERY different, so that to say "you can't have dialects without vowels" is ridiculous. I have exactly the same trouble with BEV that you have with Scots: I cannot follow it in ordinary script and in IPA I have little idea what language it is in. Compared with modern Arabic dialects, Scots and English are nearly identical. So it is quite difficult to believe that ancient Arab dialects differed only in their vowels (and in fact we know that it isn't true).

    Jay, any thoughts on the Abu Bakr and Uthman recensions being related to the Ridda Wars? Been decades since I studied this part of history but if I remember them correctly they started up almost instantly after Muhammad died. The story that has come down to us is that this was an effort to put down apostates (I think) but that may be a later explanation (or my misunderstanding). Back in the 1990's I wondered if those who refused to recognize Abu Bakr did so because their understanding of the 'Qur'an' was based on passages that Bakr and company did not like and were trying to expurgate. Now the burning makes sense (to me at least). Essentially, the Qur'ans of the 'apostates' had to be burned after Bakr came up with a NEW Qur'an otherwise there would be real and eternal questions about why the variants (as is happening now). Same with Uthman. Some of these 'apostate' Qur'ans may have still been in existence in his time and the only safe thing to do (from his perspective) was to burn ALL Qur'ans and then release his own version.

    12:19 he did not repeat it a second time. The first time was omar suggesting the idea to abu-bakr, and abu-bakr said the prophet never did it but omar convinced him. The second time is abu-bakr giving the order to zaid, and this time zaid says (to abu-bakr) the prophet never did it, but he convinced him. So it's not the same guy repeating it twice, it's the same kind of exchange repeating itself but with different people.

They must have been reciting some other written version(s) of the Quran (not the one written by Zayd Ibn Tabit, at the behest of Caliph Bakr), because Caliph Uthman ordered them to be destroyed once his authorised Quran had been published and distributed.

    I’m not sure if it’s a big deal that these ‘original’ Korans no longer exist, assuming that they did in the first place. It was common practice to dispose of the original MS when making a copy, at least in the Roman and post Roman world. Why bother to keep an old and probably tattered MS when you have a nice new and clean copy? Moreover, the doctrine that the Koran was the perfectly preserved word of God and that it was therefore wrong to dispose of it only emerged in the 9th century (I think, from memory). As such, once the provinces received these Korans and made copies over several years or decades for distribution to towns and cities throughout the province, it would probably have been quite normal for the original to have been disposed of, particularly as it would have become tatty and worn from the hands of several copyists. It’s also possible that the MSS may have been destroyed during the Mongol invasions and sackings of the 13 &15th centuries. In Baghdad, the Tigris was said to have turned black from the ink of thousands of books that were thrown into it. Although it is reported that thousands of books were also taken to Iran by the Mongols. The MSS may also have been destroyed by fire or in another accident, or removed to another city. In short, just because we don’t have them now, doesn’t mean that they never existed. In fact, it would be remarkable, and probably accidental, if they had survived. Having said all that however, I do enjoy these videos and I appreciate how much work goes into them. Best wishes.

    Fascinating hypothesis, but we do have quite a few extant ancient Qur'ans, but all from the 8th and 9th centuries, which we will go through in the upcoming videos. Remember that Muslims NEVER burn Qur'ans, nor dispose of them, but store them in the domes of mosques. So, where are all of the original 9 Qur'ans? Why, after 1400 years can we not find even one!?? Meanwhile Christians have retained over 365 either partial or complete New Testaments from before the 6th century, yet, the Muslims cannot even retain one of the original Qur'ans which went to cities which were not burned, or destroyed, or flooded during the intervening 1400 years? The Mongols never destroyed Qur'ans, but destroyed literature they deemed unworthy, and sacreligious.

So if part of the selected few are gone without transmitting what they have and Mohammed the origin source is dead then that part is lost for life and therein is truly the CRISIS. This is just presenting my view of the part of the lecture and hence it is my personal interpretation.

    Did enough Quraishi speakers reside throughout the 9 provinces? Otherwise if all 9 copies are written in that single dialect how would the provincials read and recite from them. They would either need bilingual scholars and imams or they would have to write even more copies from the original 9 but in all the local dialects. How could even that be done if there were no diacritical marks and vowelizations yet? You can see how this process would introduce errors into the local copies and from the corrupted local copies corrupted oral recitations. Then when new written versions are created from those corrupted oral recitations the corruption process repeats.

    Islam is fabricated from the tradition. The Quran ( Evangalism) is christian----Sven Kalisch, a Muslim convert and Germany's first professor of Islamic theology.So it came as something of a surprise when Prof. Kalisch announced the fruit of his theological research. His conclusion: The Prophet Muhammad probably never existed. Many scholars of Islam question the accuracy of ancient sources on Muhammad's life. The earliest biography, of which no copies survive, dated from roughly a century after the generally accepted year of his death, 632, and is known only by references to it in much later texts. Prof. Nagel says, but "it is quite astonishing to say that thousands and thousands of pages about him were all forged" and there was no such person.But byy the fact that the first coins bearing Muhammad's name did not appear until the late 7th century -- six decades after the religion did. Some scholars claim that "Muhammad" wasn't the name of a person but a title, and that Islam began as a Christian heresy. He has doubts, too, about the Quran. "God doesn't write books," Prof.Kalisch says.
