and the qur'an hasnt changed. It was gods word written verbatim by man
I only said the Bible because I assumed that it was implied we were discussing the OT creation story, God, etc. I apologize for my mistake. I'm sure the Koran has changed equally throughout the years. I'm not familiar enough with the Koran and its history to really have an opinion on it, but as it is an important religious text I would assume it has probably changed as much as the Bible.
na it hasnt. believe me because of one fundamental practice in islam. To memorize the qur'aan wholly off by heart ISNT AN OPTION. So if someone reads something non-Qur'anic and believe in a mosque there'll be 1 in 20 who've remembered it out of 300 people lets say. Also previous generations that remembered the quran will notify changes in the qur'aan. It sounds basic but its foolproof. For so many generations there've been no "EDITIONS" of the qur'aan since all the chapters were collated. If someone recites the qur'aan wrong, a man who knows that chapter or memorised quraan will notice in an instant.
That is very interesting. I knew that memorization was required, but it is much more in-depth than I imagined. Sounds like they had a much better system than the old Catholic church with its scribes who changed things at will.
