    let me put a question in a different way to you guys w.r.t those Old Manuscripts of Quran vs present book.

    Hellooo  ...  Altara....mundi... Zaotar...... zeca  and Mark S   How are you guys  doing? glad to read all of you  in this forum...

    I wonder whether you guys read/compared those Old Quranic Manuscripts (7th 9th century??)  with the modern book ? 

    and I appreciate  the answer from any one of you guys  to that question dear friends.  and I would greatly appreciate if one of guys who are expert in French  could translate bit of this along with nuggets in it

    You mistake Gnosis and Gnosticism.

    https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnose

    You miss the point. You asked if Gnosticism is taught in the Quran. I wanted to highlight one Shia belief that you cannot find in the Quran so you cannot use this argument "The Quran doesn't teach it". And yes the Shia 12 imams dogma does include some Gnosis (not Gnosticism).  

    You again miss the point. Shia tradition highlight the fact the Quran was much bigger than today's Quran so that might explain why some current islamic practices are not in it and therefore the argument "this teaching is not in the Quran" is invalid.
    You miss the point the author of this verse wants to raise. I suggest you look into the works done on the word Hanif.

    https://books.google.fr/books?id=YEDlv8aouHUC&pg=PA315&lpg=PA315&dq=meaning+of+hanifiyya&source=bl&ots=8wttBFfzvt&sig=X5t7YHrjT9sldpIUUiqQbatSapA&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiN2aLh25DdAhVozoUKHU20CGQQ6AEwBHoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=meaning%20of%20hanifiyya&f=false
    From the people who wrote the islamic story.


    Let me think that the jury's still out on this one.

                                                             The real issue is more who was the Muhammad on the Bishapur coin in 684. I never said that he might be the Muhammad from the islamic tradition because that Muhammad was not the Mahdi.

    Problem is the Abassids, who slaughtered the Umayyads, wrote the islamic story so Muhammad ibn al Hanifiyya pledging alliance to the Umayyads doesn't help the Abassids agenda, who anyway didn't give a damn as their murdering of Abu Muslim showed.


    1/  I miss nothing. The normal appelation of Gnose/Gnosticism is used for what I describe. (For one good reason : these people call themselves "Gnostics".)  And not to Sunni/Shii beliefs whatever they are. Never the Sunni/Shii call themselves "Gnostics".
    De Smet, Amir Moezzi, are "Shii specialist" only,  if they name "gnose" something of the Shii, they talking nonsense as they use a word already used for other things. Moreover they  do not  say  that the word "gnose" they use has nothing to see with the real Gnose/ Gnosticism of the 2nd c. It is therefore confusing  because they know that people will see a link with the "real" Gnose and Sunni/Shii beliefs whereas there is no  doctrinal link at all. Moreover one cannot see to what they make allusion when they attribute "gnose" to the Shii."Gnose" of what? All of this is nonsense. Same for Raymond Dequin : he speaks of "Gnose" which one?  It is nonsense...  The main use of Gnose/Gnosticism is used for what I have already describe and not at all about Muslims beliefs. Just to see the topic Gnose/Gnosticism in academia : nothing of Islam there and it is logic... Not one scholar of the Gnose/Gnosticism field speaks of the Shii Gnose. Not one.
    There is no difference between Gnose/Gnosticism. The words are used indifferently by scholars of this field    
    (see Scopello in akadem.org, she states it clearly...)  
     2/ Shia belief are elaboration of their own minds from the Quranic Vulgate text, nothing else.
    3/ Practices of the Shii  are their own pratices drawn from their own interpretation of the Quranic Vulgate Quran. None Ali's Quran is attested nowhere except in Shii sources.  What "gnosis" teaching they use? From where it come? This "gnosis" teaching? Heaven or their own mind? From their own mind. It is bullshit to name this "gnose". Each group are different in their comprehension of the text. Therefore Ali has written the Quran then?
    4/ I know the hanif stuff. Explain to me when the Christians say that Abraham is Christian? In the NT? Where?  You have source on that or you believe that what says the Quran is true? Don't give link, respond yourself to my question Like I do.
    5/ Of course it helps. Read Borrut on the Umayyad/Abbassid stuff.

    We won't agree so I will stop here ; it is not a big deal.

    I guess our main difference is here because you see all acts of islamic faith coming from the Quran while I think it is not the case. This then prevents you from looking elsewhere.

    The author of this verse doesn't claim Abraham was a christian. It just states that Jews and Christians have gone down the wrong path in their religious beliefs and cannot claim to be the rightful heirs/children of Abraham.  Only those who remained faithful to that heritage can claim it, and obviously the author of this verse thinks he belongs to those who can claim that heritage.

    .So  how many wives and how many kids does our Caliph Ali Ibn Abi Talib had  with the name "Muhammad" ?

    Tradition, like for Muhammad, isn't clear about his number of wives and kids so I cannot answer. It anyway doesn't matter as it is totally fake. You will have noticed that, like Muhammad, Ali is monogamous for quite some time, then his wife dies and he turns into a polygamous fanatic.

    Nooooooooooo ... The reason you guys and ISLAMIC FAITH HEADS says same thing is because you guys do not know meaning of the word "Muhammad"., It could be used to any one and every one irrespective of  gender and faith .. Muhammad means "Praise worthy person ".. That is all what it means  ..  nothing more and nothing less,.....

    i put all 73 verses from Surah of Surah 33.,   Question is  do we have all those 73 verses of that  surah Al-Ahzab  in those manuscripts? and is it also  Surah 33 in them? and  do they have same sequence?? And do we have any  links of peer reviewed publications  on such work??

    Powers argues that theological imperatives drove changes in the historical record and led to the abolition or reform of key legal institutions. In what is likely to be the most controversial aspect of his book, he offers compelling physical evidence that the text of the Qur'an itself was altered.

    The "hijra" is what have deduced the 9th c. narratives from the Quranic text,  as they see it through the frame of "Mecca/Medina/Kaba" that I consider  which has never existed.
    Thus, speaking of things that have never happened (for me...) is a waste of time.

    Notes
    Bibliography
    Index
    Acknowledgments

    As you can see from its contents ., it is very little to do with Quran the present book Vs,, 7th-9th century manuscripts that were found  in Yemen ....Turkey..Egypt.., That book is dealing with few verses of Quran such as  33:40  or  Q. 4:12b or  4:176 verses., He picked up selective  verses  of Quran from here and there and wrote a book on "HOW SUCH REVELATIONS INFLUENCED THE ISLAMIC WORLD & ITS POLITICS THROUGH FAITH HEADS IN COLLUSION WITH WARLORDS CALIPHS "  ..whatever

    again my Query is very very simple...  let me repeat it..

    We have a book Quran., it has 114 chapters with some 6250 verses and each chapter of Quran has some different number of verses., Do we have same format same number  of verses in each chapter  with the same sequence in those 7th century manuscripts?

    to that question Mahgraye says
    Yeezevee - Over 90 %.


    Question is ..IS THAT TRUE? and do we have any published papers and books on it from Islamic historians  of educational institutions ..NOT FROM BLOGGERS AND WEBSITES OF FAITH HEADS

    that is all what I am asking dear mundi..

    Completeness of Quran:

    Indeed, why has no scholar published on this. As I have said, the data we have dont seem to confirm the completeness from the beginning. Even if we accept 90 %, that is not a 100 %! So why is no-one taking up this issue and prove or disprove the completeness??

    Scholars? any idea?

    Magrayye,

    1/Why are you happy with "90 % was completed from the beginning"? Doesnt that make you wonder why the remaining 10 % is not there?

    2/ From the frequency table of Islamic awareness it is highly unlikely that the book was complete starting from the oldest Sanaa. If that was the case, we would have an even distribution of the extant Surahs in the table.

    Facsimile Editions of Early Qur’an Manuscripts: A Survey
    Posted on October 26, 2015
    by Ahmed Shaker*

    There are numerous Qur’an manuscripts, complete and partial, dating from the first century A.H. onward. Although there is no official count of Qur’an manuscripts in existence today, Muhammad Mustafa Al-A‘zami (2003) estimates the number at about 250,000. They may be found in mosques, museums, libraries, and institutions all over the world. In the past century, several early manuscripts have been published in facsimile editions, which reproduce as closely as possible the texts in their original manuscript forms, and may be purchased from specialized centers like IRCICA or borrowed from university libraries. Facsimile editions offer researchers in Qur’anic studies and Arabic paleography easy—if indirect—access to early Qur’an manuscripts.

    The following is a concise chronological survey of select facsimile editions of early Qur’an manuscripts, including original title, date of publication, and—when possible—an estimated percentage of the total text of the Qur’an represented in the manuscript/facsimile.

    Wow! Is this an outright lie? Even islamic awareness doesnt say this.
    I must say this is the second time I read something like this. The first time I thought the author was writing out of emotion, but maybe this idea is strongly propagated in the young modern muslim's milieu?
