Dealing with the Challenge
of Islam
2) The Qur’an says the Bible is the Word of God.
3) Therefore, on the Qur’an’s authority, the Bible could not have been changed or corrupted, as many Muslims claim.

perfectly
Qur’an was not fully written down
Most revelations came down near to his death
After his death, his closest friends began to compile his writings

Uthman(Third successor to
Mohammed)
During the reign of Uthman, the third successor (caliph) to Muhammad, word came to him that the Muslims in the various provinces were differing considerably in their reading of the Qur’an
![Page 45: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Uthman decided to unite the people on a “mushaf wahid" (single text) and, after calling for Zaid’s codex which was conveniently in Medina in Hafsah’s possession where the caliph had his seat of government,
Uthman(Third successor to
Mohammed)
![Page 46: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
he ordered Zaid with three others to transcribe his manuscript into seven exact replica copies and to send one copy to each province with the order that all the other manuscripts of the Qur’an in existence be burnt.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, p. 479)

Mohammed)

The codices of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud and Ubayy ibn Ka’b were specially singled out and both were destroyed. Uthman
(Third successor to Mohammed)
![Page 49: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud at first strongly resisted the order. Zaid’s copy had never been standardized as an official text and it was used purely as a matter of convenience, being close at hand in Medina and not identified with any particular group of Muslims.
Uthman(Third successor to
Mohammed)
![Page 50: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Abdullah complained that he had directly obtained seventy surahs from Muhammad while Zaid was still a young child – why should he now forsake what he had acquired?
Uthman(Third successor to
Mohammed)
![Page 51: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
He also plainly stated that he preferred the Qur’anic recitation of Muhammad himself to that of Zaid, implying that he did not regard Zaid’s codex as completely authentic and adding that "the people have been guilty of deceit in the reading of the Qur’an" (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Vol. 2, p. 444).
Uthman(Third successor to
Mohammed)
![Page 52: Week 12 Islam - part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587f05721a28abc26f8b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Bible has only been burnt by its enemies. Uthman burnt every other manuscript of the Qur’an other
than the one he conveniently had at hand. Codices that had been widely recognized as authoritative texts
in the various provinces were burnt in favour of a manuscript that Hafsah (a widow of Mohammed)
had simply kept under her bed!
