    Interesting remark. What does she means by that? Does it means that fragments attest that the Quran was incomplete, therefore was in part written down after the conquest?

    I didn’t get that from reading the thread, unless I’m missing something. I understood it more as not just being able to assume that fragments come from a complete Quran without further evidence.

    In fact, followers of Musaylima had their own mosque in Kufa.

    As there was no "Prophet Muhammad"  some have cling to the train of "prophecy" "Musaylima" being one of them.
    But it is possible  that "Musaylima" (Muslim)  was another abstract figure, non existent, only created to be fought as a false prophet against the True Prophet.

    Hmm.. Altara mentions a names .. A VERY FAMOUS NAME IN ISLAM... Musaylima... Musaylima... Musaylima and that ..Iron Man..

    Hmm.. Can any one find  for me those words in Quran?? ..  Musaylima... or...Iron Man??

    If you can not find those words., then why worry about discussing such nonsense stories  that are attached to Quran by fools who preach Quran as word of Allah/god??

    Yeez,

    No, I don't know the answer. If Mohammed was added to the book it was after 640-650. We have no trace of addition in the manuscripts.

    Do I think Mohammed was the military leader of the Arabs? No,  I don't think that the military leader was the one writing the book or dictating it.

    Mohammed verses for the earliest manuscripts mentioned above:

    3:144   No mention in any of the early manuscripts
    33:40  only present in Dam 1-25.1 (no image available)
    3: 2  only present in Dam 1-29.1 (no image available, only partial presence "mh")
    48:29 only present in Dam 1-29.1 (no image available, part of verse containing "mhmd"is missing)

    The dating of Dam 1-25.1 and 1-29.1 is controversial. These datings are done by the lab of Lyon that apparently dates "too early"

    So this little survey leaves room for speculation. In any case no evidence of the verse being present and the word mhmd being omitted. I want to add that for the Dam 25 and 29, no images available in corpus coranicum, so difficult to really check.


    Yeez,

    Sanaa 1, Birmingham/Arab 328c,
    Qaf 47, also Dam 1-25.1 and Dam 1-29.1 have all been c14' ed to around 650, and possibly earlier (630). S 61.6 is not found in these manuscripts (see corpus Coranicum). Of course, that could be chance.

    Often later additions are suggested, but the manuscripts contradict it. But that at least, is not the case for 61.6.

    Nothing proven, but nothing disproven either. That is worth something, no?

    AFTER = BEFORE (as in before the realization of the archetype)

    But since you reminded of my previous work I am reconsidering and will check again. Things change in the field. Some manuscripts might be added to Corpus Coranicum.

    Yes, it is good to crosscheck and have others join the search for Mohammed in the Quran. I'll join.

    Majid Daneshgar - Studying the Qurʾān in the Muslim Academy

    https://global.oup.com/academic/product/studying-the-qurn-in-the-muslim-academy-9780190067540?cc=us&lang=en&#
    Quote
    Studying the Qur'an in the Muslim Academy examines what it is like to study and teach the Qur'an at academic institutions in the Muslim world, and how politics affect scholarly interpretations of the text. Guided by the author's own journey as a student, university lecturer, and researcher in Iran, Malaysia, and New Zealand, this book provides vivid accounts of the complex academic politics he encountered. Majid Daneshgar describes the selective translation and editing of Edward Said's classic work Orientalism into various Islamic languages, and the way Said's work is weaponized to question the credibility of contemporary Western-produced scholarship in Islamic studies. Daneshgar also examines networks of journals, research centers, and universities in both Sunni and Shia contexts, and looks at examples of Quranic interpretation there. Ultimately, he offers a constructive program for enriching Islamic studies by fusing the best of Western theories with the best philological practices developed in Muslim academic contexts, aimed at encouraging respectful but critical engagement with the Qur'an.

    In the Qur’an and Its Biblical Subtext (and now the Qur’an and the Bible) I call for an appreciation of the Qur’an for its own sake and an appreciation of the “remarkable literary achievement” of tafsir. To call this “colonial” is a sad misunderstanding or intentional distortion.

    Well, as some have nothing to say and want to make some buzz, they accuses others of all the sins. Sins shifted according to time and were (fortunately) forgotten. Now it's over. I think those ones will last as they are constantly repeated every day in the media since ages now. In time, some will be fed up and start to be violent. Is this what's intended?

    Born and raised in Washington D.C., Lumbard was brought up within the Episcopal Church, serving as an altar boy. In his teenage years he lost interest and he was introduced to Islam when a sophomore at George Washington University. He converted to Islam a year and a half later.

    MVP :Hišām's ʾIbrāhām : Evidence for a Canonical Quranic Reading Based on the Rasm

    Quote
    Abstract

    In early quranic Manuscripts the name of the prophet ʾIbrah̄ ım̄ occurs in two different spellings either
    ابرهم or ابرهيم . These two spellings are spread haphazardly throughout the Quran. Close examination of
    the patterns in the manuscript, however, show that the distribution of this spelling is not random or up to
    the whims of the scribe. The location where one spelling or the other occurs is highly correlated across the
    early manuscripts. Moreover, the location of one spelling or the other is highly correlated to where the
    quranic reader Hišam̄ reads the name as ʾIbrah̄am̄ or ʾIbrah̄ım̄ . This paper argues that this is not
    because these manuscripts have been written in the reading of Hišam̄ , but rather that Hišam̄ based
    his reading on the rasm of the quranic text.
