:) these are wondeful verses, thanks for posting them. .

Agreed, but the Hadiths mentioned are considered to be authentic by the vast majority of Sunni Muslims - who in my opinion are more interested in interfaith 'monologue'. Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: This is why violence will continue to be perpetuated by Hamas and the like. And...

Not all Hadiths are interpretations of the Qur'an, some are, but others are rulings and practices that were prescribed by Muhammad but not revealed to Muhammad as Qur'anic verse. I'm not sure if this is correct but you could say that the 10 Commandments were written by God himself on tablets...

Re: rules Agreed. The Qur'an is the only literature that is universally accepted by Muslims. The Hadiths are the source of all of Islam's divisions, excepting the civil war that resulted from the disagreement over Muhammad's successors. However the Hadiths are pretty much all "attributed"...

Well according to the Hadith narrated by 'Aisha, the suckling 5 times rule was in the Qur'an before Muhammad died - but now it is gone. So someone other than Muhammad failed to include the suckling verse in the final edit. There are other verses that disappeared: Bukhari Volume 8, Book 82...

Re: rules Unfortunately, those who insist on the execution of apostates draw their support from the second most authentic book in Sunni Islam. The Hadiths of Sahih Al-Bukhari. Most Sunni Muslims wouldn't question the authenticity of these Hadith collections, but at the same time are unaware...

For some the reliability of holy scripture is related to the amount of editing the scripture has undergone. Some will assert that if a scripture has undergone ANY changes, it is no longer trustworthy. Conversely some will assert that the parts of scripture that have undergone editing are...

A lot of Muslims make no secret of the fact that in Islam there is a time for peace AND a time for war. In the earliest days of Islam, when Muhammad and very few Muslims converts were in Mecca, the non-Muslim Meccans were very much in the majority. It would have been senseless not to try and...

We go to the same place for Hajj, pray in the same direction, worship the same God, believe in the same Prophets. Actually the Islamic University Al-Azhar in Egypt OFFICIALLY recognised the Ithna-Ashari branch of Shia Islam to be a valid school of thought alongside the four major Sunni...

There is a story in Islam that Satan and the Angels were commanded by God to do obeisance to his new creation... Adam. The Angels obeyed, but Satan did not as he was too full of pride. This was Satan's fall, so to speak. This also explains the enmity between Satan and Adam/Mankind from Eden...

It's been my perspective that Salafis are the Islamic equivalent of the Jehovah's Witnesses; Both movements claim to be returning to the pure religion that everyone else has diverged from. Calling oneself a Salafi or a Jehovah's Witness is a contemporary practice, dating no further back than...

I'm saying there's a hard-copy of the Qur'an in heaven, which is different to what we have on Earth. I'll give you one example from Sahih Muslim; My personal take is that this is 'editing' and not necessarily 'corruption'. If you want to discuss this further you can 'pm' me, I don't want...

I wouldn't say that. Saddam was responsible for large scale murder of Shias. Though he wasn't necessarily a good example of a Sunni since he believed that he himself was Nebuchadnezzar reincarnate. .

The testimony of four eye-witnesses is an acceptable evidence as far as Islam is concerned. I don't see why anyone should be surprised that the killings are happening... Ali and Aisha were among the first to participate in a Muslim civil war - as related in the Hadiths. .

Being honest about Deut 18 and other passages is not failing to grasp anything. There are other passages that can be used without calling a Muslim's integrity into question - but not Deut 18 and Song of Solomon as these have been addressed without rebuttal. If the Bible or an individual...

In Arabic/Islamic cultures a person is also named after his father. When a person does not know the identity of his father he is sometimes referred to as "Ibn Abihi" translated "son of his father". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic#Middle_East Could it be that Jesus Barabbas did not...

Zaakir, I DON'T believe Jesus is God or the Son of God. But that doesn't change the fact that Muhammad doesn't fit into Deut 18 - you have yet to prove otherwise. I wouldn't even try to put Jesus into Deut 18 either, it could be intended for someone else entirely. The brethren of the Levites are...

There are Hadiths that contradict your claim... even the Qur'an has been edited. Would you like to see a few? Then we can return to the topic of the thread title. The only place the Qur'an has been preserved is on Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz, and those are in heaven - not on Earth. Everything on...

The same reason any other religion is so wide ranging, because the adherents are human, and humans have a tendency to disagree with eachother. There's not a single religion that hasn't had it's scriptures subject to editing or change. Again, because they are in human hands. .
