Was there really just one Qur\u2019an from the beginning? Did early Muslim leaders know what the Qur\u2019an was? And what can the evidence of oral storytelling, variant versions, and missing passages tell us about how the Qur\u2019an came to be?  With wit, respect, and deep scholarship, Abdu and Andy cut through the myths to explore what Islamic, historical, and scholarly sources actually say about the formation of Islam\u2019s central text.  Whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or just curious about the Qur\u2019an\u2019s origins, this conversation offers thoughtful insights that challenge assumptions and invite further investigation.  #Quran #Islam #AndyBannister #Apologetics #IslamicHistory #TextualCriticism #Hadith #Christianity #ExMuslim #BiblevsQuran    Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Andy Bannister, An Oral-Formulaic Study of the Qur'an  Andy Bannister, shorter article on Oral-Formulaic Study (https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/9490706\/Retelling_the_Tale_A_Computerised_Oral_Formulaic_Analysis_of_the_Qur_an)   Digital, Critical version of the Qur'an: http:\/\/quran-tools.com\/  Oral formulae from the digital version: https:\/\/qurantools.mst.edu.au\/help\/formulaic-analysis.php   Gordon Nickel, The Quran with Christian Commentary (book) Gordon Nickel, The Gentle Answer to Muslim Accusation of Biblical Falsification (book) Patricia Crone, Meccan Trade (book) Jonathan Bernier, Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament (this popular-level book includes discussion of the early dating offered by non-Christians Maurice Casey and his student James Crossley).   Shabir Ally admits there are fables in the Qur'an: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vLuzyRurhm4     \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f All Rise is the podcast where truth is put on trial.
