Hi, are you rebutting that there were many versions of quran, or confirming it? From the looks of what you have wrote, it seems to concur that there were indeed many versions.

Thanks. Good read.
Mind sharing the name of the pdf book?

The first compilation of the quran came 6 months after muhammed died by his son-in-law Ali ibn Abu Talib. muhammed couldn't not have compiled the quran as he was illiterate, and during his time, the canons were in forms of parchments. Between the first and the third, there were significant changes made to the quran already.

im going to put a stop to this debate, i want to keep this thread casual

I will delete any future post which is headed towards a debate
