Who was behind this compilation? Ibn Qumta was a Christian slave who lived in Mecca. Sa'd b. Abi Sarh, and a Christian slave, ibn Qumta, had something to do with the Koran. And ibn Abi Sarh came back and said to Quraish: "It was only a Christian slave who was teaching him Muhammad ; I used to write to him and change whatever I wanted.

Please note that Abdallah b. Sa'd b Abi Sarh was Muhammad's trusted scribe. When Muhammad migrated to Medina Abdallah also followed him. Whenever Muhammad went into a trance he would dictate Abdallah to write down his utterances. When Abdallah suggested some changes to Muhammad's lisping, Muhammad would readily agree with Abdallah. An example is when Muhammad was dictating So blessed be Allah, the best to create! Abdallah suggested some modifications to the last verse, Muhammad quickly agreed with Abdallah.

This led Abdallah to suspect Muhammad's claim of reception of messages from Allah, apostatised and left Medina for Mecca. He then proclaimed that he Abdallah too could easily write the Qur'anic verses being inspired by Allah. Muhammad was furious and sought Allah's help. Allah promptly sent down verse , condemning any one else who claims to be inspired by Allah.

Here is the verse:. If thou couldst but see how the wicked do fare in the flood of confusion at death! When Muhammad occupied Mecca he earmarked 8 [or10 6 men, 4 women according to Ibn Sa'd, vol. Abdallah was one of them.

On the day when Mecca was conquered, the Apostle of Allah peace be upon him gave protection to the People except four men and two women and he named them. Ibn AbuSarh was one of them. He then narrated the tradition. When the Apostle of Allah peace be upon him called the people to take the oath of allegiance, he brought him and made him stand before the Apostle of Allah peace be upon him. He said: Apostle of Allah, receive the oath of allegiance from him.

He raised his head and looked at him thrice, denying him every time. After the third time he received his oath. He then turned to his Companions and said: Is not there any intelligent man among you who would stand to this man when he saw me desisting from receiving the oath of allegiance, and kill him?

They replied: We do not know, Apostle of Allah, what lies in your heart; did you not give us an hint with your eye? He said: It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye. Even Sahih Bukhari confirms that a Christian wrote parts of the Quran. This Christian writer of the Quran, without doubt, is none other than ibn Qumta. Here is the Hadith:. A Christian who converted to Islam wrote Muhammad's revelations; then he reverted back to Christianity and claimed that Muhammad knew nothing and he wrote the Quran for Muhammad; when this man died his body was repeatedly thrown out from the grave Volume 4, Book 56, Number Narrated Anas:.

Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say:. Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions.

They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them. So they believed that what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown on the ground. Please note that the text inside parenthesis, e. Clair-Tisdall W. They were the followers of Seth and Idris. Sabeans fasted for 30 days from night to sunrise, observed Eid and prayed for the dead without prostration. Muhammad simply copied their system of fasting the only change made was fasting from dawn to dusk and retained the celebration of Eid and the prayer for the dead in exactly the same fashion as the Sabeans.

Thus the rules on fasting as prescribed in verses were actually adapted from the Holy Scriptures of the Sabeans. In fact, the Qur'an confirms itself that the system of fasting was a copy-cat from another faith , but remaining coy about which religious scripture Muhammad copied from. Here is verse that says that the Islamic system of fasting is the mimicry of the other faith Sabeans, of course :.

Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you , that ye may learn self-restraint,-. The Sabeans possessed a book called 'Pages of Seth'. They observed 7 prayers a day, 5 of which were at the same hours as chosen by Muhammad. They also venerated Ka'ba. Muhammad, most likely, learned about the Holy Scripture of the Sabeans from Bahira, the monk and from Salman, the Persian, because both of them had spent a considerable amount of time in Syria and were well aware about the sources, rituals and the religious doctrine of the Sabeans.

Muhammad simply incorporated those in the Qur'an-passing them as Allah's dictum. Others say that they were of the religion of Sabi, the son of Seth, the son of Adam.

Some say they were of the religion of Noah. Their Qiblah was towards the south, from whence the wind blows. No doubt, after learning about the Sabeans Muhammad was profoundly impressed by their religion and hastened to incorporate some of their rituals in Islam.

He regarded them as the true believers of Allah. In fact, the Dictionary Islam ibid writes that the Arabs used to call Muhammad 'as Sabi' - he who has departed from the religion of the Quraysh.

The Qur'an mentions them 3 times in the following verses:. Khadijah, Waraqa and Ubydallah et. The Sirah biography of Muhammad does not mention about the religion of Khadijah, Muhammad's first wife.

She was probably deeply influenced by her cousin brother Waraqa, who, as mentioned before, was first a Jew, then converted to Christianity. He became a devout Christian and reportedly translated the Gospel in his version of Arabic. His profound knowledge and understanding of the mainstream Christianity, as well as Judaism, must had had profound influence on Khadijah and Muhammad. So, it will be quite reasonable to surmise that Khadijah, too, was a follower of Christianity-at least inwardly.

We find no reference anywhere that Khadijah had ever prayed to any idol or had attended any polytheist religious ritual; instead, we note as told previously that Muhammad was, indeed, a polytheist when he married Khadijah. She was in fact his best financier, friend and counsellor. Waraqa and Khadijah used to discuss lots of Christian and Jewish matters with Muhammad that made him think deeply about his belief system at birth i.

This confirms that the Arabic translation of the Gospels was available during Muhammad's time. Volume 4, Book 55, Number Narrated 'Aisha:.

The Prophet returned to Khadija while his heart was beating rapidly. She took him to Waraqa bin Naufal who was a Christian convert and used to read the Gospels in Arabic. Waraqa asked the Prophet , "What do you see? Should I live till you receive the Divine Message, I will support you strongly. Not only that Waraqa read the Gospel in Arabic, he also translated Gospel in his own version in Arabic. Sahih Bukhari confirms this:. Please note that this is quite a lengthy Hadith. I have quoted only the relevant part.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number Narrated Aisha:. Waraqa had been converted to Christianity in the Pre-lslamic Period and used to write Arabic and write of the Gospel in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write. Waraqa even knew how to read and write in Hebrew. Please note that only the part germane to the subject is quoted here.

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 3: Narrated 'Aisha:. Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the PreIslamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write.

The above information, especially those quotes from the Sahih Bukhari will leave one without any doubt that Waraqa, as well as Khadijah were big-time contributors to the compilation of the Quran-- especially those verses dealing with Christianity and Judaism. Then came along Ubaydallah, the grandson of Abd al-Muttalib and Muhammad's cousin brother.

As Ubaydallah was a Hanif, Muhammad learned a lot of good materials on Hanifism from him. Muhammadan historians claim that Ubaydallah converted to Muhammad's religion and migrated to Ethiopia; then he left Islam and embraced Christianity and died there as a Christian.

So, the other contributor of the Christian material in the Qur'an was definitely Ubaydallah. We need to mention here two other main contributors to the Qur'an. They were Abdullah b.

Salam and Mukhayariq. According to Ibn Ishaq Sirat, p. Salam b. Qaynuqa who converted to Islam when Muhammad arrived at Medina. Mukhayariq, too, was a Jewish Rabbi from B. Thalaba and he also converted to Islam. Abdullah b. Salam was an authority on the Torah, and had undoubtedly contributed to write in the Qur'an, the Jewish items--especially the Jewish laws.

Tayammum : Copied from the Jewish Scripture the Talmud. Breathing life into birds , , : Copied from the Coptic books. Houris, Azazil : Learned from the foreigners in Mecca. Allah's throne above water : From the Jewish tradition.

Malik, the ruler of Hell : From the Jews. Mary giving birth under the trunk of a tree : Copied from the Gospel of Infancy, an apocryphal Christian Gospel. Infant Jesus talking , , : Copied from the Gospel of Infancy. In that case there is no sense in pursuing any discussion. Cut short the talk. Close the book! With the man of reason, we proceed. He was addressing his own people - the Arabs. Whether they agreed with him or not, he told them in the most sublime form - words that were seared into the hearts and minds of his listeners that Mary the mother of Jesus -A JEWESS- was chosen above the women of all nations.

Not his own mother, nor his wife nor his daughter, nor any other Arab woman, but a Jewess! Can one explain this? Because to everyone his own mother or wife, or daughter would come before other women. Why would the Prophet of Islam honour a woman from his opposition!

Just as they still look down upon their Arab brethren today. They say that they are the children of Abraham through Sarah, his legitimate wife; that their Arab brethren have descended through Hagar, a "bondwoman", and that as such, the Arabs are inferior breed. Will anyone please explain the anomaly as to why Muhammed pbuh if he is the author chose this Jewess for such honour? Out of the 66 books of the Protestants and 73 of the Roman Catholics, not one is named after Mary or her son.

You will find books named after Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul and two score more obscure names, but not a single one is that of Jesus or Mary! But No! The Quran is not his handiwork! Before you go any further in reading this post, please ask yourself whether you are a honest truth seeker or just another argumentative person, if the former, continue, otherwise, save your time and jump to the next post.

Islam is based on faith that is supported by a number of strong miracles such as knowing what events to take place ahead of time or coming up with supernatural deeds in front of people. The holy Quran has these signs and much more. First, The holy Quran predicted many events to take place ahead of the time of the revelation of that verse; for example, predicting the destruction of Persian empire at a time where the later had a monumental victory over Rome.

Further, numerous details about many natural phenomena were detailed in the Quran and, until recently, they were proven by experts to be amazingly accurate. For example of the physical development of the fetus inside the womb along with timing given by many verses matches exactly what leading authorities in Embryology are claiming to be recent discoveries.

If the prophet was the author, wouldn't he be prone to make weak inferences similar to those who claim that earth is square and whoever says otherwise should be killed? The prophet also has demonstrated many supernatural miracles not by his own power, but by the power of the creator. He went to Jerasalem back in one night and gave a detailed description of the carnival that was traveling on that route and also specific accedint happend to them at that noght in those days, it takes a month or so for a round-trip.

In another ocasion, he provided water for an entire army from a small plate between his hands. There are many other miracles that require serious truth seeker to read about and to think about it.

Clinically Oriented Embryology" Keith L. Moore 5th Edition, Philadelphia, W. Saunders Co. Keith Moore is probably the most detailed study of the subject. His books on anatomy and on embryology are used at many medical school as standard instruction books. The Yale Medical school uses both his books. The Yale Bookstore phone number for Medical books is: Their general information number is I strongly recommend the latest edition of the latter book as it mentions how accurately the Qur'an describes embryo development.

Moore has said: "It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'an about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammed from God or Allah because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.
