    Speaking with brain is far more important that just speaking from mouth ., which I call it as Oral diarrhea., So I  prefer folks reading and writing where one must use more of those neural network than those who just peak& speak  ..

    I whould of liked to see how different Surahs tested on orality. I wouldnt be surprised that some are indeed a record of someone recounting a story from memory, but that others are almost a literal translation/adaption into Arabic of certain Syriac or Hebrew texts.

    Christian Sahner - “The Monasticism of My Community is Jihad” A Debate on Asceticism, Sex, and Warfare in Early Islam

    Quote
    This article explores Muslim attitudes towards asceticism in the eighth and ninth centuries AD by examining the famous Prophetic ḥadīt: “Every community has its monasticism, and the monasticism of my community is ğihād.” The ḥadīt serves as a lens for assessing several broader phenomena, including early Muslim views of Christian monasticism, the rejection of celibacy in Islamic culture, and the promotion of a new code of sexual ethics in the post- conquest Middle East – what this article terms the “second sexual revolution of Late Antiquity.” It concludes by presenting several accounts of Christian monks who converted to Islam and joined the ğihād, as well as Muslim soldiers who converted to Christianity and became monks.

    Interesting to read here, in line with the discussion we were having some months ago, that the coming of Islam meant the rising of polygamy and concubinage to the level of respectability again, even more, to the level of an ideal state sanctified in the Quran (thus by God himself).

    That must have been a big attraction pole for men to convert to Islam. Especially for the wealthy who could afford these things.

    Seen the general acceptance of the monogamy ideal in the West, would this polygamy/concubinage be something from the East? Of course Judaism was still polygamous at the time  I suppose...

     foederati= quraysh ??

     I am not sure why worry  and  give so much importance to that one word of Quran  in that silly 4 line cryptic chapter 106 ?

    Is that because that 4 line 4 verses so-called Surah 106 is named as  as  "Quraish/Quraysh" ??

    Those chapter/Surah names in Quran must have come some time in 8th or 9th century., and I am not even sure that word is present in those early Quran manuscripts. ..   

     if you want to inquire about that famous Quraish  tribe ., then you have to go and read Hadith where we can find plenty of stories on them..


    As far as Quran is concerned  Ian Morris  rightly said at  http://www.iandavidmorris.com/quraysh-and-confederacy/

    Quote
    Quraysh’ is not, as far as we can tell, derived from Syriac; nor does it mean ‘confederated’.

    The medieval linguists, trying to understand the ‘age of ignorance’, used to fashion (somewhat) plausible etymologies based on the flimsiest evidence. Our homage to them is that we’re still at it today.

    I think you are right here Yeez,
    Qrsh proabably meant nothing and it being Mohammed's tribe was invented out of convenience. or maybe these "Qadash"from Narsaï and Joshua the Stylite resembled sufficiently Qrsh to help associate 106 with a tribe. Maybe Gallez is not that far off?

    Quote
    The Karbalah Inscription (DKI 163) is dated to 64 AH / 683 CE, and is indicative of a transition period in proto-Islamic expression.

    In it, we see the solidification of older prayer formulas, while others were still very much in development.

    The inscription begins with the Basmala, in the form we know it today.

    In the middle of line five, we see a long rectangle, indicating the end of a set prayer (lines 1-5), probably copied from a known source.

    Lines 2-5 lack a verb, indicating the lines are describing Allāh.

    After the prayer ends in line five, we read the inscription's appeal to Allāh as "Lord of Gabriel, Michael and I/Asrāfīl."

    Before various traditions coalesced around Muhammad as the core prophetic figurehead, 7th c formulae invoked Allāh as Lord of Mūsa, ‘Isà, & other prophets.

    DKI 163 represents a late point in religious transition. It would only be a few years before inscriptions would produce the name Muḥammad or Praised One in formulae.

    Famously, the Dome of the Rock inscription (70 AH) is a very early example of a Muḥammad-centered formula.

    We also read the then-common appeal in inscriptions for an individual to be forgiven of past and future sins, a formula which reminds us passages such as:

    "That Allah may forgive thee [Muhammad] of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come." Q 48:2

    Lastly, we see the 64 AH date reckoning, which is well known to have been in common use in the 1st/7th c.

    We have inscriptions and papyri that supply AH dates to within a few years of 622 CE, so this tradition was well established by the time of the inscriber of DKI 163.

    There is little doubt on that., dear Alatra your contribution to this forum in understanding origins of Quran and early Islam through the eyes of Academics is immense .,   In fact you and zeca is the reason why I stared reading academic publications on Islamic faith ., other wise I was only reading Quran, Hadith, Sunnah and around cultural Islamic history and and pulling my hair to understand the gist plus  mindset of early Islamic historians   .,  I started Questioning existence of Prophet of QURANIC ISLAM (( which is way different from hadith/cultural Islam)) around 2010 after interacting with a good friend The Cat at FFI.,  you can see that from   reading these folders.

    http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8527&start=0
    https://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=16018.0

    and I and The Cat both carefully followed Sam Shamoun  at https://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/seal_of_prophethood.htm

    after that  it is  you., and you started looking Quran and Islam from the eyes of Academics.,

    So I cannot  underestimate your importance  to this forum in  making me and other readers  to think out of the box on the origins Quran and origins of Islam.,

      But but., I am one of those guys who wants more work  from my colleagues, collaborators, students, relatives, pets..etc..etc. ........... ..  And  and I am of the opinion that one or two publications of yours in Academic journals  along with the lines of the posts you have written in this forum will certainly make huge difference on the Origins of Quran and Origins of Islam..   SO THAT IS THE REASON I PUSH YOU A BIT AROUND..
