    Yeezevee

    Reynolds is quite clear. He does not believe the islamic tradition. He does not expand on this becouse of his position in IQSA. But he does not hide it.

    I never said silverstein or ceric do not believe the tradition.

    I said that the articles point to the fact that the tradition is false.
    They are similar cases to those presented by Reynolds.

    Silverstein still talks about muhammad.

    Ceric i have no idea.
    Indeed writing that the quran speaks about korsoe and not quraysh is quite blowing considering that verse is the only place where the root is mentioned

    Altara.

    Kerr provides a different origin for the meaning of badr in the quran.

    My question is, how do we see that dhuqar was used as model for the badr in islam?
    What extra islamic source can we use to compare the battle description with the islamic one to spot the similarities?


    I was thinking about the folkloristic elements in the quran which do not belong to the larger jewish and chriatian elements, such as the djinns or the prophets like salih.

    These elements are usefull to focalize the time and place of the quranic text composition?

    Compare the two narratives. The Dhu Qar one reported by Tabari (all the story) and the traditional Badr one .

    Well this is important., let me recap few of pointers of  Altara   as he says "Islam actually started   After the defeat of Zubayr."............unlike many 1000s of  historians common belief  who  believe  that  Islam started in cave Hira  from the day of  the first revelation to Prophet of Islam on 610 C.E.    In fact,   we ALL BELIEVE IN THAT  exact date of Islam ..  the faith  beginning is the 21st of Ramadan just before sunrise, i.e. August 10, 610 C.E. – when Muhammad was 40 lunar years, 6 months and 12 days of age, i.e. 39 solar years, 3 months and 22 days

    That  is the day of first revelation to Prophet of Islam ,,,,,,,,,,,,the day of reckoning ........  the day of beginning of Islam    I am taking that info from  a famous book of Mubārakpūrī, Ṣafī R. (1998). When the Moon Split (A Biography of the Prophet Muhammad). Riyadh: Darussalam. p. 32.

    Anyways back to Prophet  Altara  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
    Quote
    Hello Spaghettib.. ................
    well I LEAVE ALTARA ALONE ., I am reading him for a long time..................

    well I said that to Spaghettib  and I asked some questions to Altara  and Altara did not answer.,  So let me repeat the questions as he is shifting times. shifting  names of persons on that ORIGINS OF ISLAM AND ORIGINS OF QURAN  ., Some of the statements from Altara are
    3/ I consider that there was no 'Muhammad'.
     
    2/ I consider that Quranic texts are older than the 7th c.

    Mecca, Medina,  Muhammad,  Zamzam Water
      3Ms & Z  problem in Islam ... 

    So questions to you.,

    Q1.Was that town Medina existed before the year 532?(( apparently before that it was called Yatrib ))

    You say .... Mecca did not exist before Islam.  or Mecca.. Medina.. Muhammad.. zam zam water did not exist before Islam...

    2) What year you  think Islam started?? .. after the death of all those rightly guided caliphs??

    1/ No attestation of 'Mecca'. We have attesttaion of 'muhammad' but not dated (Cf. Dost thesis).

    After the defeat of Zubayr, Islam officially is instutionalized.


    and Are you talking about  Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam   or  Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr??

    a). Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam (  594–656) was a cousin and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and one of the first converts to Islam.

    b). Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr  (May 624 – October/November 692) was the leader of a caliphate based in Mecca that rivaled the Umayyads from 683 until his death.

    Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr .


      Well that is  the story of  my one of  1000s of  sleepless nights ....lol....,    So that is what  Altara   says     Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr....Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr .....Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr .

    Hello Altara   on your words....  Islam officially is instutionalized. after the defeat of Zubayr

    Q1)  would you consider that day  Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam (  594–656) got defeated ((I guess by on of those Abbasid Caliphs))  as the day of  beginning of Islam ??   And what year you think he was defeated ??.,    clearly it has to be in 7th century after all he was born in the year 594....

    Q2)  After that defeat in the war...  Did he move in to Arabian desert and start his career again in the present town Mecca??  or there was no Mecca  but he actually started the town Mecca?? 

    Q3)  And what about Medina/Yatrib ??   Was that  town  Medina there and flourishing in 6th century before the birth of this guy Al-Zubayr??

    Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything   
    I renounced my faith to become a kafir, 
    the beloved betrayed me and turned in to  a Muslim

    1/Nope.
    2/We have no clear evidence of the year.

    Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr  his son went to the Western Peninsula and started the town Mecca to rally the Arabs vs Malik. Maybe his father did something before and the son continuing it.

    An interesting review from @iandavidmorris on Justin Marozzi’s new book on the Arab Conquest and I find myself nodding in agreement at the question of why are there so few histories of this subject?

  • Qur'anic studies today
     Reply #10298 - June 21, 2021, 02:30 PM

    The only issue is to believe the Muslim narrative as historical. Once you get rid of that, all is clear: one knows where the Arabs come from, one knows why they are to the Yarmuk as a first battle, etc.

    Après avoir trouvé une série d’inscriptions anciennes en Arabie saoudite, l’archéologue et épigraphiste Laïla Nehmé décide de partir sur les traces de ces mots mystérieux.

    Avec son équipe, elle emprunte la piste caravanière antique reliant les villes de Hégra et de Médine, à la recherche de nouvelles inscriptions, pour tenter de faire revivre le grand voyage du peuple Nabatéens.

    Laïla Nehmé est archéologue, épigraphiste et chercheuse au CNRS. Spécialiste de l’archéologie du Proche-Orient, elle est principalement connue pour ses recherches sur l’écriture nabatéenne et son évolution vers l’arabe.

    Depuis 35 ans, elle se rend en Syrie, en Jordanie et en Arabie-Saoudite pour déchiffrer les traces du passage des Nabatéens sur terre. A partir de 2002, elle co-dirige la mission archéologique de Madain Salih à Hégra.

    Les nombreuses recherches qu’elle effectue permettent de mieux comprendre l’héritage laissé par les Nabatéens. Un peuple qui la passionne et qui est à l’origine de la langue arabe, aujourd’hui parlée par plus de 300 millions de personne à travers le monde.

    My article on the Qur’anic doublets is out in JIQSA 5 and so you ask, what are doublets and what do they have to do with the Qurʾan?!

    Doublets are repeated phrases within a text & are best known in synoptic Gospel scholarship-they are critical to the 2 source (Mark and Q) model for the composition of Matthew & Luke. Here’s a “sayings” doublet for Luke (although there are also narrative doublets).

    Rather amazingly, scholars of the Qur’an have generally not noticed the preponderance of doublets in the Qur’an. Identifying repeated phrases (usually complete verses) of 9 words or more I identify 29 Qur’anic doublets. Here’s a sample!

    A key point about these doublets: they are not formulas! A Bannister has argued (An Oral-Formulaic Study of the Qur’an) for “oral composition” of the Q on the basis of its formulaic nature, but the doublets are too long to be formulas. They point to written composition.

    1 more key piece to the puzzle! Of 29 doublets only 3 (when we count a verse from Sura 16 as a Medinan insertion) are mixed “Meccan-Medinan” doublets. In other words the doublets not only seem to have a written origin--they seem to come in two packets: “Meccan” & “Medinan.”

    This is interesting! If the doublets were just records of sayings repeated by the Prophet (that is, if they were not produced on the basis of a written text) why would there not be more sayings from the Meccan period repeated in Medina?

    In other words, the doublets (& their distribution) point to the existence of pre-canonical texts, or collections (these presumably would contain more than the doublets – the doublets simply signal their existence): a “Meccan” collection and a “Medinan” collection.

    7.22: Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tasted of the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden; and their Lord called out to them: Did I not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the Shaitan is your open enemy?

    20:121: Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).

    *Recent works on Islamic origins: A short thread*

    I was asked what books I would recommend on Islamic origins. I’m going to interpret this to mean 7th-Century Islam and Islamic history, including early theology/creed and jurisprudence.

    In terms of (1) secular, academic scholarship (2) available in English (3) after the critical shift in the 1970s (regarding the Islamic literary sources, and the need to account for Late Antique context), the following works come to mind.

    Not really surprising about doublets: economy of means is cleverness, intelligence, High IQ, whatever you call it. And it worked very well.
    It has a function of repetition, therefore education entering the brain. Repetition is the Quran: same stories, same patterns, same all.  Obviously, there is no 'Muhammad' this or that in Mecca/Kaba/Zem Zem. There is a crafted literary work which could appears as 'oral' but which is not.

    I don't think those repetitive verses have ANY ROLE IN ISLAMIC PRAYER or brain washing folks in Islam dear Altara ., In fact many of the verses that are used in Islamic prayer CAN BE USED TO ANY FAITH and their followers

    anyways for me such exercise of righting pub on  repetitive verses is nonsense..  it just adds a number to the author's CV..

    I was not speaking of 'prayers'. Apart Q 1 (more or less) there is no 'prayers' in the Quran.
