Different Versions of the Koran

Many Muslims have told me that all Qur'ans in the world are exactly the same... and that it is perfectly preserved and free from any variation.
This idea is often said as a way of showing that the Qur'an is superior to the Bible. Muslims says this because this is what their leaders teach them about the Qur'an and the Bible.

i could remember having the fourth comment on this topic.
i said it earlier that the website referred to is a Jewish-oriented site aimed at publicising fallacies about Islam and Muslims.
i remember ajanni even said the site was not laoding; i think he resides in one of the countries which blocked that website.

now, the admin deleted my comment for telling truth because they want to refer readers to that site.
after a while a fool like the administrators of this site will tell me they preach peace and want all religion-adherents to respect one-another's religion.
you will all doom in HELL.

I really do not agree that versions of Qur'an exists and I brought forward many reasons which need not to be repeated whether you accept them or otherwise. I am sure no Muslim will accept what you brought as versions of Qur'an but in contrast all Christians believed that there are tens of versions of bibles. Thus:

Early English Translations & Versions

The “Venerable Bede” is reported to have made the first translation of the Bible into a language used in England during the VIII century. He is credited with at least translating portions of the gospel of John and his translation was attested to by others. In the following two centuries there appeared a few more incomplete translations. One of them is the so-called “Alfred version” (reputedly by King Alfred) and was of some of the Psalms.


Modern Translations

The “King James Version” (KJV) was authorized by King James I of England in 1604 as a new translation of the Bible. It was intended to be a comprehensive revision of the Bishops Bible (published in 1568) and was to incorporate comparisons of the Greek text of Erasmus and the Hebrew Masoretic texts and earlier English translations. A group of 47 translators began in 1607 with this monumental task, and they completed it in 1611. It is also referred to as “The Authorized Version” or AV, and it became the standard translation among English speaking Protestants. It was the most popular Bible until 1987, and is still widely used and preferred by many.


Darby Translation

This Bible was translated by John Nelson Darby in 1890. Darby was an Anglo-Irish Bible teacher and was associated with the early years of the Plymouth Brethren.


American Standard Version

This Bible was first published in 1901 and is regarded as the most literal English translation of the Bible. It is a very popular Bible for Bible studies. The “American Standard” translators incorporated older “eastern manuscripts” which have become the basis for most modern English translations, whereas the King James Version was entirely from “western manuscripts.”


Revised Standard Version(RSV)

The Revised Standard version is a revision of the “Authorized Version,” or the “King James Version” of 1611 and of the “American Standard Version” of 1901. In an attempt to provide great accuracy, the best ancient texts available at the time were used.


New International Version(NIV)

In 1965 work on the “New International Version” of the Bible was begun and it was translated by over 100 scholars using currently available Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts. The goal for this version was to produce an accurate translation that would have clarity and literary quality. It was completed in 1978.


New American Standard Bible(NASB)

While trying to preserve the literal accuracy of the 1901 ASV while attempting to update the grammar and terminology, the “New American Standard Version” came into existence. It is a revision of the old ASV.


The New King James Version

In 1979 this newer translation of the original “King James Version” was published. Although this version did not really win the approval of the general public, it was designed to make a modern translation that reminds people of the KJV and answers the criticism of the post-1881 translations.


Now that we have covered that very basics of information regarding Bible versions, here are a few more modern Bibles from which you can choose! Check at your local Christian bookstore, or order from the Internet. Find them by doing a word search. There is something for everyone!

@ chik000000001

Let me tell you this once again, NO Muslim will ever tell you that Qur'an has versions. To be true to you, all the versions you are talking about I have never seen one. All I know is Qur'an. Is it that because you edit and re-edit bible, make it in uncountable versions that we Muslims must be forced to accept that Qur'an is in versions? Take it or leave it, you christians already declare and accept that bible is in many different versions and that one version is more original and authentic than the other but all are being used as the WORD OF GOD, but we Muslims have only One STANDARD Qur'an. For that, go and say there are hundred versions of Qur'an, that does not could not and will never affect me. All you rely on for your proofs is the work of orientalist (weak) but what I used to present as proof is something which all christians and Muslims alike know. HOLD ON TO YOUR BELIEF for that does not affect me but you alone.

Who took your bread...
Because you and your fellow boyfriends don't know about versions of the Koran does not mean it does not exist...
You are in an information controlled cult...Because you are forced to accept anything you are being told about you religion without questioning...or death...thats why yous are so myopic in topic like this...

Lets start from the beginning...
There are initially SEVEN versions of Koran, even after Caliph Uthman made his Sahih Versions, too.

These versions are The Warsh...The Qalun...The al Dhuri...The Hafs...The Qunbul...The al Baazi...and the Hisham.

If you must know...these are the main Sunni versions...approved by Mohammad himself and doesn't include the Shi'a - al Jafari or the Sufi versions etc.

These are differences in verses between the Warsh version which is mainly use in Africa...and the Hafs versions...use in The Middle East.
Check The following verses the Quran: 7:57, 9:37, 2:259, 3:81, 6:96, 1:4, 2:140, 2:125, 3:146, 2:132, 91:15, 2:132, 3:133, 5:45, 2:139, 3:81, 2:259, 2:214, 2:9, 2:184 & 28:48.
Since our Muslim brothers think version means differences…then Different Koranic versions have differences.

It will certainly be baseless to introduce The Wahhabi Koran...cos you are not allowed to talk about it...
