How could the illiterate Muhammad be certain that the guy wrote down EXACTLy what he dictated as the Quran??

Question

sister 21, I notice you avoid saying Muhammd 'read' the Quran, but you said he 'reviewed'! How can an illiterate person read? HAHAHAHA!

Answer 1

LMAO.

God have mercy on you.

Duck!

Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

Do you have an issue when someone dictates to you at a slow pace and verifies what you have written down many times?
If you read Rushdie's work, it looks like a perverted 17 year old wrote it. Certainly noone can respect a work that contains the f word too many times.

Answer 3

Well, the answer is all to do with common sense.

He knew the whole Qur'aan, and knew Arabic....
So what he knew was deffinetly true. His companions who wrote the Qur'aan, reviewed to him what they wrote down. And if there were any mistakes, he wouldn've pointed it out to them to correct it. Even you could've answered it.

How/Did the Prophet write down the Qur'aan?
The Qur'an was not written down by the Propht Muhammad, as hew as illiterate, which means he could not read nor write. So he commanded his companions to write it down. The Angel Jibraeel, came down, and revealed it to him, which he memorised by the will of Allaah... and then informed his companions to write it down.
[Pretty much most of the Believers would say this]

Heres some series of link to do with the Qur'aan

Answer 4

ABDULLAH BIN SA"D BIN SARH was a secretary of prophet muhammad. When muhammad used to dictate him the revelation and because muhammad was lettered man, ABDULLAH BIN SA"D used to suggest better version of the same revelation an muhammad used to say yes that is OK you can write that after while he realized that it is all ashamed how is it muhammad would prefer my Arabic to allah's, he questioned and that was the reason that he left islam and fled to mecca. and tolled every one his story with muhammad and because of that muhammad wanted him dead.

Answer 5

That's the question posed by Salman Rushdie in 'The Satanic Verses' that got a fatwa placed on his head and forced him into hiding for several years.

Answer 6

There was no accurate dictation....however, why would someone want a ACCURATE copy of falsehood and decption?

"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Answer 7

Gary; at least the muslims can claim that the prophet was around when the quran was written.(i'm not talking about the validity of that)
thats more than the bible can lay claim to. they acknowledge at least that it was what the prophet said and not a bunch of gullible idiots.

Answer 8

Because he Heard the words given to him and recited them. By the end of his life he had memorized the entire Quran, along with many of the people close to him. It is still widely done today- people still memorize by heart the entire Quran in Arabic.
I answered your last question, that he reviewed it twice the year of his death, both with Gabriel, and with other people.

Answer 9

It's called "pain of death." The scribe would have been to afraid someone would catch on and he would get the ax to have written it incorrectly.

Answer 10

A neutral thrid party read it to him?

Maybe someone he trusted?
