'''Abrogation''' ([[Abrogation\|Naskh]]) refers to the doctrine of Quranic interpretation that one [[Qur'an\|Qur'anic]] verse can supersede or cancel out another, and is itself supported by Qur'anic verses and various [[hadith]] narrations. There is scholarly disagreement as to which verses were abrogated (see the article [[List of Abrogations in the Qur'an]]). Some critics point to this as a failure of the Quran, Muhammad, and the tradionalist community to provide scripture that is univocal in doctrine and message.

	==Introduction==		==Introduction==

	The concept of ''Naskh'', or abrogation, has traditionally been an important feature of [[Islam]] and its theology. The Qur'an is said to have been revealed by the angel [[Gabriel\|Jibreel]] to Prophet [[Muhammad]] over a period of twenty-three years.<ref>''Living Religions: An Encyclopaedia of the World's Faiths,'' Mary Pat Fisher, 1997, page 338, I.B. Tauris Publishers, </ref><ref>{{Quran\|17\|106}}</ref> During those years, ~~a lot had changed~~ in ~~his personal~~ and ~~private life~~.

Tauris Publishers, </ref><ref>{{Quran\|17\|106}}</ref> During those years, the prophet and his community lived in and faced many different circumstances according to the traditional narrative.

	Muhammad began as a preacher, and ended his life as the founder and Head of the first Islamic state, ~~so it is not surprising that~~ the ~~style and message of~~ [[:Category:Medinan Surah\|later Medinan]] Qur'anic revelations changed and often conflicted with [[:Category:Meccan Surah\|earlier Meccan]] ones.		According to his traditional biographies, Muhammad began as a preacher, and ended his life as the founder and Head of the first Islamic state, and the Quran supposedly reflect this in how the [[:Category:Medinan Surah\|later Medinan]] Qur'anic revelations changed and often conflicted with [[:Category:Meccan Surah\|earlier Meccan]] ones.

	Today's Qur'an, when read at face value with its non-chronological organization, can support any number of views on several subjects, and when read as a whole, many verses clearly [[Contradictions in the Quran\|contradict one another]]. The concept of abrogation is commonly understood to be mentioned in the Quran itself, sometimes apparently as a defence against criticism directed at Muhammad when he forgot or changed verses.

	At the time of the [[Caliph\|caliphate]], some scholars (particularly a preacher from Kufa, Iraq) were banned from explaining and preaching the Qur'an by early 'ilmic authority figure (usually 'Alī but sometimes also Ibn 'Abbās) because of their ignorance of the principles of naskh.<ref>Powers, ''The Exegetical Genre nāsikh al-Qur'ān wa mansūkhuhu'', ISBN 0-19-826546-8, p. 124</ref><ref>Andrew Rippin, ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies'' 47, ISSN 0041-977X, pp. 26, 38</ref>		At the time of the [[Caliph\|caliphate]], some scholars (particularly a preacher from Kufa, Iraq) were banned from explaining and preaching the Qur'an by early 'ilmic authority figure (usually 'Alī but sometimes also Ibn 'Abbās) because of their ignorance of the principles of naskh.<ref>Powers, ''The Exegetical Genre nāsikh al-Qur'ān wa mansūkhuhu'', ISBN 0-19-826546-8, p. 124</ref><ref>Andrew Rippin, ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies'' 47, ISSN 0041-977X, pp. 26, 38</ref>

	Not all Muslims believe in abrogation, though it is the mainstream view. Nevertheless, there has never been agreement as to the ~~scope~~ of verses affected, nor even the precise definition of the term, such as whether it includes clarifications. The most commonly referenced application of the doctrine today is the gradual prohibition on the consumption of [[alcohol]], though those who reject the concept of abrogation argue that alcohol was never in any way permitted. The verses about alcohol do not feature in the more limited sets of abrogated verses proposed by some scholars such as al-Suyuti (see [[List of Abrogations in the Qur'an]]).

	Traditionally, abrogation is understood to be of three types: Abrogation of the verses and the ruling; abrogation of the ruling but not the verses; abrogation of the verses but not the ruling. The latter is famously proposed regarding the punishment of [[Stoning\|stoning]] for married adulterers, which does not appear in the Quran we have today.
