perhaps, but i'm not sure anyone today really knows what that is/what it was.
I think the quran is clear, and it is a compilation of instructions to his followers during various different times. I think the problem is that people are not prepared some of the more contentious things (like 4:34) but dont want to leave the religion either.
So they make their own versions up and are never able to agree, always claiming each other are wrong and not following true Islam, because they are not prepared to follow the others version.
