You can admit that you won't win - but you will not change your mind.

Which is perfectly fine to me ...

Like you, i am here to learn.

And i am sure many of us are here to learn.

Can you give your POV as to why the parts of the Quran are not in order as revealed ?

Because human actions has a reason/motive.

During his lifetime, Prophet did not tell us to gather parts of Quran and compile them in a mushaf.

But People did have parts of the recitations in their personal possessions and many had memorized them by heart.

After the demise of the Prophet, the need to have a standard book of the recitations arose.

When Zaid bin Thabit collected parts of written recitations from the umma, he could have easily sorted them in the correct order as revealed because he himself had memorized the Quran by heart.

If anything in above is incorrect, please correct me.

so what was the reason of not putting the parts of the Quran in the correct order as revealed ?

Is your question to Quran scholars not quoting Quran verses ?

any-ways, i don't think there are any active Quran scholars here.........there may be here, but i dont think they are actively participating.

I hope somebody answers your question.

Today, majority of the muslims depend on the Quran based on the Uthmanic Mushaf. Without it they are lost (if not already lost)

But this very Mushaf did not exist during the presence of the Prophet nor the need arose for such mushaf while the the Prophet was alive. There wasn't any idol worshipping of any physical book.

The absence of physical presence of the Prophet of God was filled by Uthmanic Mushaf.

Abu Bakar is supposed to have said this after the demise of the Prophet:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Abu Bakr went out while Umar bin Al-Khattab was talking to the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O 'Umar!" But 'Umar refused to sit down. So the people came to Abu Bakr and left Umar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah said:--"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many) apostles have passed away before him..(till the end of the Verse )......Allah will reward to those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then).

Are not you Shiraz?
Some how it force me to believe that whenever I read your post and SV post!!!
I can give you few websites addresses, these websites are our brothers Shia and Sunny site go over there and read what they say about Ismaili Imams?
Ask them you want to put some Ismaili ginans verses or ask them you wants to put some farmans of HI, let me know what they say abot HI and Ismailis? Let us know if they allowed you to put Ismaili ginans or farmans of any Imam. They think it is trash for them they just bieve that we do not need that because they say they have quran.
Well, which quran they are talking about? A ommited, deleted, changed, contradictory, or that uncompleted Quran? Which some pages were eaten by agoat!! Does any one have that goat digested ayas? I do not think they have but off course we have that and we have that 10 missing paras in our HI, just wait another 100 years and the world, not only Shia and Sunny will know but whole world will be know about that paras and incompletion of Quran.

Very good question but its very hard to tell you how many civilizations did allah[swt] destroyed in the past because he himself said in surah ibrahim:

14:9

Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? Of the people of Nuh, and 'Ad and Thamud? And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with clear (signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We deny (the mission) on which you have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which you invite us."

So logically speaking we can name only few civilizations...May be you can ask people who can freeze people just by looking into their eyes ??? :D

Only allah[swt] know's best !!!

Because the force [NUSERI] is with us, bahahaha
They think it is trash for them they just bieve that we do not need that because they say they have quran.
Lemme give you a simple example agakhani bhai... If you see a monkey[chimp] and if you have a banana and a loaded gun on the table...
Would you give monkey[chimp] a gun ???...No !!!....You cannot change people's mentality by throwing ginans and holy firmans at them...they don't understand !!!...The world that we live in today is changing rapidly, people's mentality is changing...The shariatis are becoming more progressive which is a good sign and so on...So when the time is right, they'll join us...In the mean time let's relax and eat paradise ki biryani :)
Well, which quran they are talking about? A ommited, deleted, changed, contradictory, or that uncompleted Quran?
Whichever quran they may talking about...I ask you this " Does it matter to us ?? " ....If it does then you can flood this topic as and how you may wish...If not then let's try to understand each others view

I like how shamsB bhai put it when he says

I did not expect insulting language from you. It looks like instead of teach and learn, gang up and insult.

Recently I read this regarding Shia Sunni debate written by ex Shia
Debates
*They seem to be endless
*In some point one of the sides starts using offensive language and usually this is the reason for ending the debate
.They are repeated material that are posted every now and then in many websites
It is getting offensive
Right now I do not see any point going on which will result in more insults heaped on holy book of mine.
Despite 31 electronic pages
Not a single post on a deleted or omitted word, Aya or Sura of Quran Majid.
I know why enemy of Islam and doubters in Quran are doing this but but it will be fruitless debate.

ah so finally it comes out

You claim this to be your holy book - not anyone elses...
Did you even consider us muslim - seems like you didn't.

As i've stated before -
See if it was omitted and deleted and eaten by goats..then we wouldn't have it now would we?

You asked for the Imam to tell you where to look for the missing paras - we told you...THE GINANS - you didn't want to accept that...
Then we gave you proofs from your sources about the issues with the compilation of the Quran - all sunni sources..
FYI - You want an omitted Surah - Surah Wilayah is one such Surah - this is accepted by all Mainstream Shias - if you're serious - you'll actually go and research and read about it - the problem you'll have - it's very heavy on Imamah - and you will say this is fabricated..

Ah - but I have you covered there as well - Your source Tabari and Abu Hanifa record this as a Surah that was omitted from the Quran - the authenticity of this Surah vouched for by a number of Sahabha of the Prophet.

Want more? Go read about the Yemeni Quran; something that predates even the current oldest Uthmani Quran in existence; many many variances, your masters/the overlords - the wahhabis in Saudi Arabia have suppressed all research into this version of the Quran. Speaking as someone that has viewed this; there are VAST differences, VAST.

As I've stated before you are not here for constructive learning - you are here to destroy to satisfy your own insecurities.

You're attitude is not inclusive - or pluralistic but rather one of self righteousness.

You keep asking for the Imam to tell you what was deleted etc
We tell you why should the Imam duplicate efforts when not one or two but MORE Imams over the centuries have told us where to look for the COMPLETE QURAN - in the GINANS - you somehow turned a blind eye to that...instead of trying to find out more about what the GINANS are about.
You wanted a statement from the IMAM - we gave you one - you don't want to accept it.
Now if you want to shut your eyes infront of the SUN and then scream about your blindness- that is not our fault is it? and then you trip and fall so you scream bloody murder..sorry..not how it works...

The problem is...nothing will convince you of the truth; because you've already decided what the TRUTH IS and everyone else is wrong....

You're being treated the way you've treated others...as i stated - brick wall - no need to bang one's head..take a sledge hammer...

By now - i think when it comes to proving your arguments futile, wrong and without a leg, I've knocked it out of the park. - maybe time for you either leave or admit defeat or admit to the possibility of pluralistic truths and let us be and believe what we want to believe.
As the Imam said in the NDTV interview - the basis of Islam is the Shahadah; no mention of the Quran in the Shahadah ;-)

Finally since you've accept us as kafiroon - as you said "enemy of islam" and "doubters of the Quran".

See how quickly you change your argument...

Please do as the holy book says " To you yours and to me mine" and leave us alone.

Unless now you say it doesn't mean that?

Yes....the posts are getting offensive.....

Just because Ismailis get bashing from non ismaili sites, doesnt mean Ismailis do the same to non ismailis in the ismaili sites.

There are one of two things you can do to the posts directed at you.

1. Do not respond (eg like you din't respond to me asking you about your POV).

or

2. Respond logically.

For example, if an Ismaili tells you there is a Yemeni Quran in existence that predates the current Uthmani. Just respond by telling him politely to produce it.

Or ask him politely, when Imam visits a Jamat, are the recitations of Quran from the Yemeni or the Uthmani Quran ?

OR

when somebody tells you that a goat had eaten some written parts of the Quran........respond politely that it does not matter if a goat had eaten them.... many people had written verses in their possessions at that time and compilers must have replaced the eaten documents.

you're missing the point - the point is - you're asking me to produce the Yemeni Quran - when this has been suppressed by the Saudis - as I stated in my post.
If you or zznoor googled the word Yemeni Quran - you'd get more than enough links so that you could follow through.

This isn't about bashing - this is about making a point; that being that zznoor isn't willing to go look at what has been provided to her as reference materials. We have page after page after page of a number of us telling her - here's where the proof is.

Seems like you too brother have selective reading...

Also to your point in regards to when the Imam visits - the argument isn't whether the Quran is the word of Allah or not - the argument is whether it is complete..i.e .what was revealed to the Prophet without abrogation..
Did you miss that memo?
FYI - We also sing Ginans and Qasidahs in the presence of the Imam; what status does that give to the Ginans or to the Qasidahs - that of equivalence to the Quran - if one were to use the logic you just provided.

The comment about the goat; not something I made up - you've made some "educated" posts - yet this is a historical fact that you haven't read about?

Maybe Shirazbhai or Agakhani or even Nuseri can point you to the post that quotes a historical source stating that the Surahs were captured on that parchment because all the people who had memorized those verses were either very old and died shortly after dictating or had died in the war. The goat ate the only surviving copy.

We've provided sources and references - zznoor is not even reading what we're writing. When you use her logic; she tends to sidle from one perspective to another...that is the point

Like I said - no point in beating one's head against a wall; I go at it with a sledge hammer.

Read earlier in the posts - I had quoted Sura Kafiroon - stating - to you yours, and to me mine - fyi - incase you aren't aware - this is in accordance with the guidance of the Imam as well - you try to explain your faith - not everyone will understand - and that's fine - you both go your ways...and even today - i am willing to say - zznoor is more than welcome to practice her faith - however she can't shove it down my throat or anyone else's throat. I am more than willing to disagree.

Asking someone to politely produce a yemeni quran is a task that is almost impossible - however you can google it and you'll understand what i am talking about - seems like you were trigger happy in responding and keeping someone engaged that you could keep the discussion going where you could display your prowess in the quran.

Here is the Wikipedia Link to the Sana'a manuscript:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sana'a_manuscript
Note : the lower texts contains many variants to the Uthmanic Quran - which is written on top of the lower text; and the portion containing the lower text is carbon dated to 99% accuracy before 671 AD; so if the Quran was captured as is - why the variance in the texts?...and if someone says - oh they standardized the arabic etc - then the Quran we have is not the exact words of Allah that were revealed to the Prophet - this opens an even deeper issue than just the Quran being incomplete.

To the Ismailies with Kalame Imame Mubeen on here- there is a Farman of Imam Sultan Mohammed Shah in there that address and talks about this issue; please refer to it if you can - and you'll marvel at the words of the Imam well over a 100 years ago - 70 years + prior to the discovery of the Sana'a manuscript.

Oh and if someone tells me - oh this is internet stuff - why do you believe it? or it's not worth it's salt...

Read earlier postings - zznoor has used internet sources (shafi i believe) what is good for the goose is good for the gander

Difference is - I have actually been fortunate enough to study pieces of this manuscript....there is actual research that's been done on this and we have historical proofs corroborating this narrative.

Most of all - and should be the only important thing to an Ismaili - is that we have the direction from the Imams on this...let us not forget that.

zznoor may not grasp that concept - but as Ismailies - the Imam is Rasikun fil Ilm - all knowing and infallible.

ok...... point taken....

i was only trying to advice zznoor how to avoid heavy arguments in discussions.

if he would have responded as i would have (about goat issue), then he would have known by having your response that the goat eat the only surviving codex.......

and that's a news to me because many think Hafsa Codex (the sourse of Uthmani Mushaf) survived destruction till her death because she refused to be burnt and by that time of her death, Uthmani copies were already in circulation...

anyway the point was that if we discuss without heavy arguments much information can be shared.

I apologise for any misunderstanding i may have caused.

Surah al-Walayah and Surah al-Nurayn are considered forgeries by both Shi'ite and Western scholars. This is further confirmed by their absence in Jeffery's studies on "variants" attributed to `Ali as well as Zaid bin `Ali. The stylistic features of Surah al-Walayah and Surah al-Nurayn are a poor imitation of the Qur'an and riddled with grammatical errors. Contrary to the expectation that they are a Shi'ite forgery, modern research has shown that the composer of the two forged surahs is a Parsi.

And Allah knows best!

Scholars will disagree on this with the opinion of some Saifullah. Fatwa's by Sunni mullah is of no importance to Shias, we can debate this till end of time.

And as we know, not only some Shia Ithnashri but also other branches do practice Taqiyya so what is told publicly is not always what is believed. No one wants to be killed by extremists because of his opinion.

Surah al-Nurayan is consistent with the Ismaili Sources:

Hassan, Hussein DO Noor Pichano.

Noor of Imamat and Noor of Piratan.

These seems concepts absent from your religious system.

Not a single post on a deleted or omitted word, Aya or Sura of Quran Majid.
I know why enemy of Islam and doubters in Quran are doing this but but it will be fruitless debate.
Salaam again
Well, above is your own opinions but I do not agree with that , I have my own opinion on Quran which are as below:-
-Quran has been changed many times.
-Quran is not complete Quran.
-Some Quranic ayas which were revealed on H. Ali, were intentionally deleted
- Quran is out dated now a days.
- There are no answer of some modern question in Quran.
- Quran is contradictory.

I, do not know why the enemies of Ismaili sect are coming in this website and through their trash talks in this Ismaili website?, when there are many other websites of their interest out side!!!!

By the way, This question either Quran is complete or incomplete? is a century old question and big Quranic scholars, big Ulemas, Big Mufassir, big translators couldn't find the solution since 1400 years, then do you think we can find the solution with our little knowledge?

It's interesting how zznoor keeps asking the Imam to produce the Quran etc.

Let's approach this in a different way:-

Heard of Ghadir-e-Khumm; event accepted by both Sunni and Shia Scholars (don't worry I am not going to get into the argument over the word Mowla)

Can you zznoor tell me who was amongst the first to congratulate Hazrat Ali and give his oath of Allegiance?

It was Umar - the 2nd of the Caliphs - what happened to that loyalty and the oath upon the deathbed of the Prophet? who buried the prophet?

Why weren't all of these people who had seen the Prophet in person and taken oaths and claimed to love the Prophet present at the burial of the prophet?
Because it was never about religion - but rather politics.

Tabari has recorded that upon his death bed when the Prophet asked for a pen and paper to write - it was these people that said - that the Prophet had become senile.

So with this history of wishywashiness - that has been well demonstrated by zznoor on this board; do you think it would make a difference to her if the Imam showed up with the Original Quran autographed by the Prophet?...

That is not the purpose she is here.
What I'd like to point out to her - this is ismaili.net - it is for discussions around ismaili topics - you do not walk into a lion's den and keep pulling at his mane and not expect eventuallyto have your head bitten off.

She wants to have a sunni discussion - go to a sunni site; why come here to a predominantly shia site.

And if she's a converted sunni from an ismaili and is trying to win points or trying to convince herself that she made the right choice..this is also not the place...

Once again - a number of academic sources have been pointed out to her - and she keeps coming back with Sunni propaganda not intellectual conversation or value; you claim you want to learn - then research.
Seriously - this is a shia site - a sunni POV? you trying to shove it down our throat?
doesn't work here - go share it on a sunni website - oh wait - they don't let you in because you're a woman? or they don't listen to you because according to the Quran a woman is lesser than a man? or you realized that you made a mistake and are here to bolster your own insecurities?

Also your conclusions; are based on Sunni research - not on an unbiased piece of research.

And if Allah knows best; then leave it upto him to judge us; who are you to judge us....

For me- i don't need any research or academician to prove anything

You made fun of this in the past - but to me - this holds very true.
If the Imam says day then it is day and if He says it is night then it is night.

According to your Quran - He is Imam-e-Mubeen; the manifest and one in whom power and authority of everything is vested.

And don't come to me with this crap about Imam-e-mubeen meaning Quran; Allah knew you people would get lost within Arabic language and get confused - He differentiated Quran with Kitab-e-Mubeen.
Imam has a very specific connotation in any dialect of Arabic - and it always involves a MAN; not an innate object.

Speaking of ginans; you brought up the issue of language;
Arabic is not my mother language; and when the Quran was revealed Arabic wasn't lingua franca; however in order to understand - i learnt Arabic; in the same way - you want to read the Ginans; learn the languages. Your responses - rather retorts to those suggestion proves that you are not here to learn - but to boost your own ego.

Your mask has been unveiled - don't you think it's time to go now?

Keep in mind every time you post anything anti ismaili on this site - I will respond - whether you read it or not - I will not let you keep poisoning this site with you Sunni propaganda.

If I am wrong in my belief - that is my problem.
I give you a chit to give to the Sunnis that you tried your best to convert me; so you can get your brownie points and maybe they'll let you into their chatboards now.

let see what our Pir and Syeds says about Quran, remember this whole ginan is in future tense.

"ખોટાં થાશે પુસ્તક‚ ખોટાં પાનિયાં‚ ખોટાં કાંઈ કાજીનાં કુરાન‚
અસલજાદી રે ચૂડો પહેરશે‚ એવા કાંઈ આગમનાં એંધાણ…
લખ્યા ને ભાખ્યા‚ સોઈ દિન આવશે…
એવા દેવાયત પંડિત દાડા દાખવે…"૦

English Transliteration
"Khota thashe pustak, khota paniya, 'KHOTA KAI KAJI NA QURAN
Asaljadi re Chudo pahneshe, Eva koi aagam na Enthan,
Lalkhya ne Bhakhya soi din aavshe,
Eva Devayat Pandit da'da dhakhve"

However this ginanic verses are in simple Gujarati but let me put it here it's meaning of first line and that is the subject of this thread.

The Book (Quran) will be wrong, the pages of the book(Quran) will be wrong and and whole Quran will be wrong

I did not expect insulting language from you. It looks like instead of teach and learn, gang up and insult.

Recently I read this regarding Shia Sunni debate written by ex Shia
Sister, I was just trying to prove my point that all !!!

If I hurt your sentiments then please accept my humble apology.

I'm not upset with your questions but I'm definitely upset with the same repeated questions right from page 1 till now....My question is why are we repeating the questions again and again ???

ShamsB bhai has clearly said to you and all others that quran that we have today is what is left of quran...It's not in its totality...The other missing side is found in ginans.

What could be more str8 forward than what shamsB bhai have said ??...You keep on asking the same questions as if you're trying to put your finger in somebodies mouth until that person throw's up [starts getting irritated]

What kind of debate are we having and how many times are we gonna ask the same question again and again ???

I posted few hadiths from sunni sources stating quran does not consist of aayats/surahs that were recited during the time of rasool[saw]

I can even copy/paste that hadith of goat chewing on some aayats...what more proof do you want sister ???....I'm with you when you say we have to follow the commands of allah[swt] mentioned in holy quran but what about other missing paras mentioned in holy ginans ???....Aren't we suppose to follow that when we know that ginans infact are the actual tarjuma of quran's missing paras ??


[Narrated Aisha] "The verse of the stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my bed. When the messenger of Allah expired and we were preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper."

Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal vol 6 p 269
Sunan Ibn Majah p. 626;
Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat alAzhariyya. 1966) p. 310
As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. p. 13


It was narrated that 'Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”

Yes that's quite possible....when the verse was revealed, was she was the only one who heard the revelation? even that is possible because since they were married and they might be alone in their house when the verse was revealed.

Shiraz, do really believe these ahadith ?

Lets take example of Abu Abu Hurairah, who spent only only 3 years with the Prophet and he narrated 5,374 ahadiths.

Aisha = 2,210 ahadiths,
Umar al-Khattab = 537 ahadiths,
Ali = 536 ahadiths and
Abu Bakr = 142 ahadiths

Abu Hurairah has narrated more from the Prophet than the other four just mentioned combined and only in the space of three years.

Does that make sense to you ?

If i were you, i would be very sceptical of ahadith.....

however some of them may well be accurate

It might possible, but here few questions arise in my mind, did Ummul Momanin Ayesha ever wrote any Quranic ayas before? as per my thinking she never did before then why Allah choose that time, when Prophet and Ayesha were alone at their home? did Allah couldn't wait till morning?
you probably know that Prophet was illiterate (Ummi) and couldn't read or write and when Ayesa had never wrote any ayas before!!


The second question arise in my about paper!
"The verse of the stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my bed.
Did the writing paper available that time? if paper was available than why other writers used to wright on leaves, on stone, on woods, or on clay?

a_27826,
It is needless to tell here cuz most of Shia scholars believes that Abu Hureiras and ummul moamneen Ayeshas most ahadis are not acceptable, these ahadis were made up ahadis. Abu Hureira was once a begger and latter on a big lier.
THE OTHER HAND, AYESHA NEVER LIKED AHLE BAIT FAMILY AND HER HATTERED TOWARDS H.ALI IS NOT HIDDEN ANYMORE! and that was the reason of jang e Siffin.

How bad her death? Why Sunny keep silence about her death?becuse......I know I know whole the story but if I put it here admin will delete my post again, because he is child, coward child who think only one side to keep our enemies happy, they can write any thing against our imam and any thing against our sect, that is fine with him but when I write any thing, a true facts he delete it, what a pity of Ismaili sect!!??.

Now you're veering off the argument my friend.

Though even in that you're making a point that the Hadith that the Sunnis ascribe and subscribe to aren't accurate - yet these were the same sources that probably provided Ayahs and Suras to the compilers of the Quran - so..based upon your conjecture - is the Quran even in it's current form accurate?

You talk about sharing information - there is a speech of hazar imam about the current times that we're living in and the amount of bad information that is out there.

What zznoor may not be aware of is that for an ismaili - the Imam's word on Faith is FINAL - and the Imams have already spoken on this issue.

In regards to responding logically - one has to think through what is being shared - just putting out a response like - PRODUCE THE YEMENI QURAN - is the same as to asking someone to produce the omitted verses of the QURAN.

References have been provided but no one is reading them.

The Hafsa Codex also wasn't compiled correctly - it was missing quite a few verses - and this was one of them - not intentionally lost - but unintentionally eaten by a goat or sheep.

Just for learning purposes, it would be nice if you put your POV (in few sentences) as to why this verse of stoning from God (if really this written verse ever existed) was not in the Mushaf ?

Even if Goat ate it, surely other people must have recorded it and produced it to Zaid Ibn Thabit during collection.

Is it possible

some verses in written form were in the possession of many and

some verses in written form in the possession of few and

some verses in written form in the possession of one only and

some verses in written form in possession of no one?

If there were some verses not in the written form but only in verbal (memory) form, then what happened to them? Surely they were not included in the compilation.
