Earliest complete manuscript of Koran is 200 AH or 800AD! There are no ancient copies of the Koran dating before 750 AD in museums. We challenge you to prove us wrong! Send us the name, locate and date of the Koran written earlier. Email Brother Andrew and he will forward it to the Webmaster of www.bible.ca

Biblical and Modern History of Iraq. Saddam Hussein is a terrorist whose country has a long history of being associated with evil.

Qur'an is different than what Muhammad delivered. The Hadith tells us how the stories in the Koran came to be in one book. Large differences were noticed, so a final version was edited, released to the world and all competing copies were ordered destroyed. There you have the "miracle" of the Koran!

 The 20 Versions of the Qur'an today. (7 are recorded in the Hadith) Muslims believe that the Koran used today is identical to what was used 1400 years ago. Depending on the local sect in the world today, Muslims use up to 20 different versions of the Koran.

 The Koran and the earliest Muslims did not believe the Bible was corrupted. Muslims may be surprised to learn that, contrary to popular belief, the Koran actually says nothing about the corruption of the Bible. It may also surprise Muslims that historically, the first Muslim to trash the Bible was Ibn-Khazem, in 1064 AD.

Theological and historical errors in the Qur'an

Muhammad is not prophesied in the Bible as Muslims claim.

Muslims believe there is a literal copy of the Qur'an in the presence of Allah. They call it the "Mother of the book." Further, it is claimed that the Koran was written by God before the creation of the world.

Allah is never found in the Bible. The Muslim word for God is "Allah". The fact that Allah is Arabic specific has been a real problem for Muslims to explain. After all, why would Allah, never reveal himself to anyone in the Bible? Abraham never heard God call himself Allah! So in desperation, Muslims actually try to find the word Allah in the Bible. Brace yourself for this, it doesn't get more ridiculous than this!

The Original Sources Of The Qur'an By W. St. Clair Tisdall, M.A., D.D

 There are not 50,000 errors in a Bible, as Jehovah's Witnesses claim!

Muslims argue the Bible is corrupted and undependable.

 The charge of 101 contradictions, by Muslim apologist, Shabbir Ally refuted!

Things found in Christ, not found in Islam: One simple but effective way of explaining the difference between a major "world" religion and the gospel of Christ (the New Testament, Matt. 26:28) is to show the things found "in Christ" that are not found elsewhere. The following are things found in Jesus Christ that are not found in Islam.

 The Hadith of Islam: The Muslim Hadith is to the Koran, what an engine is to a body of a car. Without the Hadith, the Koran simply won't drive by itself!

Jesus Christ is superior to Muhammad.

The Bible is superior to the Qur'an.

1. If it is true, as we are often told, that Christianity is Christ, there is also a sense in which it is true that Islam is Muhammad. It was from his preaching in seventh-century Arabia that the religion got its start. Its Scripture, the Qur'an, bears the impress of his mind, with its enthusiasms and its limitations, from the first page to the last. The sunna enshrined in the corpus of Traditions, both canonical and uncanonical, is from one point of view nothing more than an attempt to get Muhammad's personal authority as backing for every detail of public or private conduct. In this sense it is an attempt to provide the faithful Muslim with material for an imitatio Muhammedis more far-reaching in its consequences than any imitatio Christi has ever been. (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 3-4)
2. The Qur'an is the scripture of Islam. It is called the Noble Qur'an, the Glorious Qur'an, the Mighty Qur'an, but never the Holy Qur'an save by modern, Western-educated Muslims who are imitating the title Holy Bible. (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 47-48)
3. It is clear that he had been preparing a book for his community which would be for them what the Old Testament was for the Jews and the New Testament for the Christians, but he died before his book was ready, and what we have in the Qur'an is what his followers were able to gather together after his death and issue as the corpus of his "revelations." Orthodox Muslim theory, however, holds that, this. material was all there just as we have it today, in a heavenly archetype, whence it was revealed by Gabriel to Muhammad bit by bit as circumstances warranted, was written down by scribes as it was proclaimed by Muhammad, was collated by him and Gabriel with the heavenly original, and was all ready for publication by the Prophet's successors at his death. In style it is in rhymed prose, closely resembling the form in which the pre-Islamic soothsayers of Arabia set forth their pronouncements. Its present arrangement is doubtless that given it by the committee appointed by the third caliph, `Uthman, to issue an official recension of the text. (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 47-48)
4. The arrangement is clearly haphazard, though some modern Muslim writers make fantastic attempts to show a purposeful arrangement of, the material in the Suras. Since the Prophet's style of utterance changed markedly as he moved from period to period of his mission, it has been customary since the days of Weil 1 and Noldeke 2 to class material in four periods: I. Early Meccan; 11. Middle Meccan; 111. Late Meccan; IV. Madinan. (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 47-48)
5. In English the above mentioned translation by Bell is by far the best for serious study, though for the general reader perhaps the most convenient is Rodwell's translation (available in Everyman's Library). Arberry's translation, in two volumes (London, 1955), makes an attempt to preserve the stylistic, rhythmic units of the original. The translations by Marmaduke Pickthall, by N. J. Dawood, and by the Indian Muslims Muhammad `Ali and Yasuf `Ali are not recommended. (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 47-48)
6.  Is only the Arabic version of the Koran God's word? Muslims claim that only the original Arabic version of the Koran is God's inspired word. English versions cannot give you the true meaning of the Koran. Of course, such is false since the Bible is the most translated book on earth and the message is virtually identical in every language. Why then do Muslims claim only the Arabic version is the true word of God? Well to begin with, ignorance of what translation is. Next, perhaps Muslims realize that information is the enemy of Islam and the more Muslims can control their own information, the less outsiders can influence them for truth. You see if you must be able to read Arabic to know the true Koran, then when English speaking Christians point out various things in the Koran that Muslims don't like, the reply is, "you can't even read the original". The truth is that Muslims want to have their cake and eat it too! They want the English speaking world to rely on Arabs to tell them exactly what the Koran says.
7.  I find it frustrating, that every version of the Koran has a different numbering system. Muslim would do the world favor to standardize the numbering system of the Koran. Looking up a verse in the Koran is like buying a dress for your wife in a ladies fashion store where size 8 is never size 8. Imagine a minister quotes a single Bible passage and the people the pews turn to 5 different passages.
8.  Muslims do tend to be believers world scale conspiracies they just mistrust the media and reject all Earth history to a surprise us that the biggest conspiracy at all the biggest conspiracy of all is the information control the Muslims exercise on themselves in the myth of the perfect Koran.
9. Early memorization of the Koran ensured its preservation? In the Buchari Hadith, Abu Bakr is said to gather the Koran from "parchments, scapula (bones), leafstalks of date palms and from the memories of men". Of course, if the Koran was really memorized front to back as Muslims claim, there would be no need to check with "parchments, scapula (bones) and leafstalks". Think about it a minute. If there really were many men who had memorized the whole Koran as we know it today, the tiny chunks of text found on paper, bones and leaves would be of no value.
