Zachovalost Koránu
Muslimové říkají, že Korán byl dokonale zachován, ale je toto tvrzení pravdivé? Textová integrita je důležitým tématem v muslimských kruzích a bude nadhozena jak islámskými učenci, tak ne-učenci. Muslimský argument říká, že text dnešního Koránu je identický tomu, který dostali od proroka Mohameda. Nicméně, je zde několik problémů s tímto argumentem.
První problém
Nejdůvěryhodnější kolekcí hadísů, považovanou za nejautentičtější knihu po Koránu je Sahíh Buchárí, ale dokonce i v ní je kontradikce ohledně toho, kdo shromažďoval Korán.
Vyprávěl Anas bin Malik:
Když prorok zemřel, nikdo neshromažďoval Korán, než čtyři lidé: Abu Ad Darda, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit a Abu Zaid. Zdědili jsme od Abu Zaid, jelikož on neměl potomky.Pokud se nemůžete dohodnout na tom, kdo shromažďoval text Koránu, jak můžete vůbec začít tvrdit, že Korán je neporušený a přesně takový jak byl zjeven?
Druhý problém
Z hadísů víme, že sám Mohamed zapomínal části Koránu:
Aláh v Koránu říká, že dokonce i jeho posel může zapomenout některé verše.
V hadísu níže, vidíme, že Mohamedovi Společníci také zapomínali pasáže z Koránu.
Pokud prorok zapomíná verše, tak jak můžete říct, že máte dokonalé nezměněné slovo boží?
Třetí problém
Jsou zde tvrzení v hadísech, že určité verše chybí. Například 'kamenovací verš' za nevěru. Dnešní Korán neobsahuje trest radžm (kamenování) pro nevěrníky, který zrušil předešlý trest.
Al-Nurayn a al-Wilaya jsou dvě súry (kapitoly), které byly údajně součástí Koránu, dle některých šítských sekt. Tyto sekty se údajně hádaly, že Ali měl jinou kopii Koránu ve srovnání s třetím Chalífou Uthmanem. Nicméně, tyto súry jsou široce viděny jako smyšlené většinou muslimského světa. Někteří věří, že tyto súry jsou vymyšlené, se záměrem zvýšit nepřátelství vůči šítským muslimům v sunnitském světě.
Čtvrtý problém
You have probably heard about the Satanic Verses incident where Muhammad tried to reconcile differences with pagans. There are reports of this incident in all major tafsirs to demonstrate this was an actual event during the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
And another, the third (goddess), Manat?
What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female?
Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!
Under increasing pressure and boycotts from the pagan Meccans, a weakened and precarious Muhammad accommodated the Meccan pagans by acknowledging the existence of the three pagan goddesses Lat, Uzza, and Manat, alongside Allah.
Ibn Ishaq
From Ibn Ishaq's "Sirat Rasul Allah". (Ibn Ishaq is the earliest known Islamic historian.)
Al-Tabari
Al-Tabari was an early and prolific Islamic historian who also recorded the Satanic verses incident.
- By the Star when it sets, your comrade does not err, nor is
- he deceived; nor does he speak out of (his own) desire ...
and when he came to the words:
- Have you thought upon al-Lat and al-'Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?
Satan cast on his tongue, because of his inner debates and what he desired to bring to his people, the words:
- These are the high-flying cranes; verily their intercession is accepted with approval.[2]
Pátý problém
We know from various sources that the third caliph Uthman ordered various copies of the Qur'an to be burnt because there were clear differences in the recitation of Qur'an among people of Sham and people of Iraq. The differences were so great Uthman and his companions feared future dispute about true Qur'an. (We are not talking about pronunciations, but the contents). So Uthman asked Hafsa for her copy and he ordered to make many copies of Qur'an and to burn and destroy all the existing copies of the Qur'an. Uthman ordered others to accept Hafsa's copy as the official Qur'anic text. This shows that memorization had failed to completely preserve the Qur'an (meaning recitation) in its original form but help of text was taken.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and the Christians did before." So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and 'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt. Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse from Surat Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting it. So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari. (That Verse was): 'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23)Šestý problém
The compilation of the Qur'an was clearly a very human process involving trial and error, educated guesses, faulty memories, fallible opinions, disagreements, mistakes, ignorance, and bad decisions. And we can't forget, of course, the pile of manuscripts reduced to ashes by Uthman in his desperate attempt to destroy all evidence that the Qur'an hadn't been perfectly preserved. The early Muslim community left modern Muslims with a huge mess to clean up if they want to cling to the belief that the Qur'an was perfectly preserved as you can see in this hadith;
Další problémy
- Nobody has the original copy of the Qur'an standardized by Uthman.
- The most trusted commentary on preservation comes from hadith written hundreds of years after Muhammad.
- Early copies of the Qur'an did not have diacretical marks, leaving room for an enormous amount of discrepency.
Závěr
The earliest found copies of the Qur'an do not have diacritical marks, and evidence points to 'trifling' changes made to the Uthmanic recension.[3] Multiple people collected the Qur'an after Muhammad's death. Differences existed among the various versions of the Qur'an before Caliph Uthman decided to burn all the copies except one. Muhammad himself forgot Qur'anic verses. Some verses, like the ones for stoning, are missing from the Qur'an we have today. We can thus conclude from Islamic sources that the Qur'an has not been perfectly preserved and today's text is not exactly the same as recited by Muhammad.
