Koran: Textual Criticism 1 - The Clear and Easy Koran
The first in my mini-series: Textual Criticism of the Koran. From March 2011.
In the first episode I investigate the claim of a perfect, clear and easy to understand book, sent “down” by a perfect god.
so that whosoever would receive admonition could receive it 35:37
(god) He is enough as a witness between me and you 46:8
Complete 17 sentences of chapter 86 is gibberish:
I swear by the sky and by the Night-Comer, and what may let you know what the Night-Comer is? The star of piercing brightness! there is no human being, but there is a watcher over him.
So, let man consider of which stuff he is created. He is created of spouting water that comes out from between the loins and the chest-bones. Surely He is Powerful to bring him back on a day when all the secrets will be searched out, and he will have neither strength (to defend), nor a supporter. I swear by the sky that rains, and the earth that cracks open (for plants), this is a decisive word, and it is not a joke. They are devising plans, and I Am devising plans. So leave the disbelievers alone at the moment; give them respite for a while.
11:1 a Book whose verses are perfected and then presented in detail from [one who is] Wise and Acquainted
41:3 A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Quran for a people who know
41:44 And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, they would certainly have said: Why have not its communications been made clear?
54:17 We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember
54:22 We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember
54:32 We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember
54:40 indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember
