Who wrote the Koran and when?

Answer 1

The Koran was written after Mohammed's death. The Modern Muslims that are knowledgable will admit to this. But what form was it in, and is the modern one the original, and which parts were only memorized and written after the rest of it was compiled?

The site that I have posted below will tell you about an ancient Koran that exists. Careful with telling the Muslims about it, it could be damaging to their current veiw on their own history.

"At first abu bakr Abõ-Bakr hesitated to undertake a task for which he had received no authority from muhammad Muøammad, but in the end he gave his approval and commissioned zayd ibn thabit Zayd-ibn-Thåbit . . . proceeded to 'collect' the quran QurŸån 'from pieces of papyrus, fiat stones, palm-leaves, shoulder-blades and ribs of animals, pieces of leather and wooden boards, as well as from the hearts of men'. "
That happened after 634 AD.

Answer 2

. Each verse received was recited by the Prophet, and its location relative to other verses and surahs was identified by him.
The verses were written by scribes, selected by the Prophet, on any suitable object - the leaves of trees, pieces of wood, parchment or leather, flat stones, and shoulder blades. Scribes included Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Mu'awiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubey Ibn Ka'ab, Zayed Ibn Thabit.
Some of the companions wrote the Qur'an for their own use.
Several hundred companions memorized the Qur'an by heart.
During the caliphate of Abu Bakr (632-634 CE)
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab urged Abu Bakr to preserve and compile the Qur'an. This was prompted after the battle of Yamamah, where heavy casualties were suffered among the reciters who memorized the Qur'an.
Abu Bakr entrusted Zayed Ibn Thabit with the task of collecting the Qur'an. Zayed had been present during the last recitation of the Qur'an by the Prophet to Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).
Zayed, with the help of the companions who memorized and wrote verses of the Qur'an, accomplished the task and handed Abu Bakr the first authenticated copy of the Qur'an. The copy was kept in the residence of Hafsah, daughter of Umar and wife of the Prophet.

Answer 3

According to tradition, Muhammad effectively dictated it to his followers over the last twenty or so years of his life - somewhere between 610 and 623 AD (that's the seventh century).

And Muslims would argue that since God's revelation to Muhammad was more recent than to Jesus, it's more relevant, which explains Isa and Muhammad's relative place in Islam.

Answer 4

God (Allah in Arabic) sent Angel Gabriel during 23 years to Mohammed and recited the words. Mohammed told whatever he heard to close companions. It was written in several sheets, then years after he died, Caliph Othman decided to collect all sheets and have it into one.
For those who think that it is not from God, then why is it we all copies, all over the world, are exact replicates? Why no one dared to changed a letter? Because we do not dare alter God's words.

Answer 5

Muhammad claimed to receive the information directly from the Angel Gabriel in a remote cave in what is now Saudi Arabia. It was about the year 620AD. The Angel made him memorize the Quoran in seven different Arabian dialects, and it was not written down till several generations after he died. Islamic Law prohibits the translation into any other languages or dialects, and Muhammad said that all followers would have to learn his language to experience the book.

Answer 6

Seems a little doubtful to me, but I am a Christian and don't believe that God sent
Gabriel to Mohammad. I guess I am a non-believer...so what. Jesus is our savior.

Answer 7

Mohamed wrote it down after his wife urged him to share his revelations with the world. Sometime in the 4th century A.D. methinks.
