The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Quran

[@assyrian2NV]

As a native Aramaic-Syriac speaker I assure you that Quranic Arabic has the same roots as Syriac just like every other Semitic language. For example, the word HOURI comes from the ROOT word H-W-R - In Arabic that is pronounced as HOOR, in Syriac it is pronounced KHWAR-A which actually means "White" and not "Virgin". This book is worth checking out especially if you understand Syriac.

[@BryceGirdner]

Early Muhammad was very Jewish, then Christian. There are early caliph coins with the ruler holding a cross. It wasn’t until Abd’ Al-Malik that we really start to see Islam solidify. The sword of Islam is a great book to read. Listen to the history of Byzantium podcast with Tom Holland interviews. It’s very clear Islam took a few centuries to really become what we know today. That’s okay as well. Christianity took time to marinate. The Romans thought early Christianity was a Jewsish Hersey…. Which both Christianity and Islam are. FYI, I’m agnostic. I just like history, man. Ali, the 4th Caliph, was an heir to the Ghassasnids, an Arab tribe on the border to Roman levant. Muawiyah, even according to traditional Muslim accounts, held lands in Roman Syria and Palestine. Not really sure how that’s possible if he was from Mecca but okay. It’s likely to me the people who invaded the Romans and Persians after the Great War were border tribes taking advantage of the situation. It sounds anticlimactic, but these Arabs were probably just raiding fertile lands and had so much success it snowballed into the Arab Empire.

Assumption 1: The region of Mecca at the time of revelation (approximately 1400 years ago) was an initial Aramaic settlement. Counter Argument: There is an absence of historical Syriac-Christian works prevalent in Mecca at that period. Assumption 2: The language of the Meccans was a hybrid language of Arabic and Syriac. Counter Argument: No manuscript evidence or 5th /6th century inscriptions indicate this. Assumption 3: No presence of an Arab oral tradition and culture. Counter Argument 3: Historical information indicates that there was an adequate and thorough transmission of an oral culture. Assumption 4: The Arabs during the Prophet’s time forgot the Syriac language and lapsed into what is now known as classical Arabic. Counter Argument 4: This would entail that a mass loss of memory had plagued the Arabs during that time. Assumption 5: The Prophet could read and write fluently (knowing many dialects). Counter Argument 5: An assumption (or speculation) that is no stronger than the argument (or assumption) that he was illiterate. Assumption 6: Various scribes wrote the Qur’an from the Meccan hybrid (‘mutant’) language. Counter Argument 6: No analysis given that indicates different influences and linguistic sensitivities that arise out of multiple authors. Assumption 7: Employment of an exclusively philological approach. Counter Argument 7: This enables freedom to stretch interpretations as well as emend the Qur’anic text in order to make it correspond to the desired Syro-Aramaic texts. Even though that Luxenberg’s study is based upon weak assumptions he attempts to substantiate his conspiratorial claims by re-interpreting single words in the Qur’an by using corresponding Aramaic words. As a result of finding similarities in words - which can be done with all the Semitic languages - he concludes that the Qur’anic text must then be borrowed from Syro-Aramaic Christian texts. This is equivilant of saying that Shakespeare was originally Homers work because many English words have Greek origins! Marrying ‘White Grapes’! Luxenberg’s re-interpretation of the word for “hur”, meaning ‘chaste beautiful girls’ in Arabic exposes his fundamentally flawed approach to studying the Qur’an. In Aramaic “hur” means ‘white’ or ‘white grapes’ however Qur’anic commentators say that “hur” is the plural of the Arabic word “houri”’ meaning ‘chaste and beautiful girl’. The word “hur” occurs in the Quran 4 times at 44:54, 52:20, 55:72 and 56:22. At each of these places the word “hur” is mentioned the context of marriage and paradise. For example in 44:54, “…and We shall marry them with hur, having attractively wide eyes” And at 55:72, “They are hur, guarded in pavilions” If anyone was to take Luxenberg’s view that this word means ‘white’ or ‘white grapes’, how could anyone fit this re-interpretation of the word in the Qur’anic context? Have you known or seen anyone marry ‘white grapes’ before? How can Luxenberg show the link between the Qur’an and a supposedly Syro-Aramaic text when only one word has been provided as a link and the context of the verse and its literary structure have been ignored? There are many more examples that demonstrate Luxenberg’s insistence that the Qur’an must be a manipulated text whose origins are a variety of Syro-Aramaic Christian sources. This persistence has blinded Luxemberg’s academic judgement as the Syro-Aramaic texts he accuses the Qura’n of ‘borrowing’ from are in fact post Quranic (dated after the written text of the Qur’an!). So what came first? The Qur’an or the text that is supposedly borrowed by the Qur’an, but yet emerged after the Qur’an? Confused? I don’t blame you. Just by discussing Luxenberg’s assumptions and the above example he uses, it can be easily pointed out that the evidence he provides is based upon weak assumptions and lacks historical evidence.

except that you are mistaken. For one thing The Prophet Muhammad pbuh, did not grow up in nor live in Mecca, as was originally thought. The place he grew up in and lived was Becca.

If there's a Christian bias in symbolism that the author uses to re-interpret some of these Koranic passages, some would argue that Jesus wasn't trying to start a new religion, but that he was trying to reform Judaism, and give the Jews a refresher course, like saying "love thy enemies," vs. "love thy neighbors" in the old testament; their neighbors were often their enemies too. Jesus even says himself, "I didn't come to abolish the laws of the prophets. I cam to fulfill them." The Romans did a makeover of "Christianity," sanitizing it of it's Jewish origins... Romans: What? You're telling me if I believe in Jesus we can't eat pork? We can't have wine a certain way? Do you know what that will do to our economy? We conquered the Jews. How would it look if we practice a religion of a people we conquered? No. We have to say it's a different religion, and say the Jews didn't accept it, so we can still oppress them, and not believe like them. I did actually hear from an Iranian secular professor I had in Islamic studies talk about the mistranslation really meaning "You get 72 grapes" as opposed to 72 virgins. Specifically, the Koran uses an Aramaic loanword "herr," which refers to a variety of white grapes. In Exodus 14:19-21 God has 72 names, so maybe it's really a metaphor: eat a grape, reflect/"meditate" on each name of God for each grape. Once you've gone through them all then maybe you know God in his entirety.

Ans so many other words which were wrongly written because they did not know the meaning in Aramic and thus had a different meaning . Arabic language was derived from Aramic , Aramic is older than Arabic . Arabs did not have a written language when the Quran was revealed. So they took the 22 alphabet letters of Aramic and added another six which are الهمزة ، الألف، الشدة، ،ى ال التعريف والنقطة . If someone can read Aramic he could read the old version of the Quran easily and interpret it.

The Prophet, PBUH, to whom the Qur'an came down, is an arab. His companions are also arabs. The communities in mecca and medina, where the prophet initially spreaded the religion are arabs. So it makes sense that the Qur'an will contain mainly arabic vocabularies. Some foreign words will of course be found in the Qur'an, as also happen in any languages in this world. But to interpret any qur'an readings, people should merely rely on the two internal sources of islamic teachings, those are, the Qur'an itself and the hadiths. Any interpretation outside those two will lead to misunderstanding and false knowledge.

The Aramaic word for God is "Alaha". It's the word Isa PBUH used. Sounds familiar? Written without the confusing vowels it is written A-L-H ܐ ܠܗܐ (alap-lamed-he) as found in Targum or in Tanakh (Daniel, Ezra), Syriac Aramaic (Peshitta), reduced from the Arabic original (of which Aramaic is a dialect continuum as will be explained) it is written in the Arabic script 'A-L-L-H' (Aleph-Lam-Lam-Ha) add an A before the last H for vocalization. The word God in another rendition in Hebrew ʾĕlōah is derived from a base ʾilāh, an Arabic word, written without confusing vowel it is A-L-H in the Arabic script, pronounced ilah not eloah. Hebrew dropped the glottal stop and mumbled it, aramic mumbled a little less and it became elaha. Infact both are written written A-L-H in Arabic, it is pronounced i in Arabic and not A because it is an Alef with hamza below (إ أ ) They are two different forms of Alef. And it mean "a god", it is the non definitive form of A-L-L-H, in which the Alef is without a glottal stop/hamza,(ا), but this kind of nuance is lost in the dialect continua. infact "YHWH" itself is an Arabic word as discussed by Professor. Israel Knohl (Professor of Biblical studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) in the paper" YHWH: The Original Arabic Meaning of the Name." jesus as his name is often misspelled due to the lack of the ayin sound in Greek, which was rendered to Iesous, coupling the nearest sound to ayin, same letter found in 'Iraq', which sounds entirely different in Arabic form 'Iran' in Arabic, with the -ous Greek suffix that Greeks typically add to their names 'HerodotOS', 'PlotinUS', 'AchelOUS' and later mumbled into a J. The yeshua rendition of Isa (his name in the Qur'an) PBUH which is purported to be the name of Jesus is KNOWN to had been taken from greek. Western Syriac also use "Isho". Western Aramaic (separate from Syriac which is a dialect of Eastern Aramaic) use "Yeshu". Western Syriac has been separate from Western Aramaic for about 1000 years. And sounds don't even match up. Syriac is a Christian liturgical language yet the four letters of the name of Jesus «ܝܫܘܥ» [ = Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic: «ישוע» ] sounds totally different in West vs East Syriac, viz. vocalized akin to Christian Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic «ܝܶܫܽܘܥ» (Yēšūʿ) in West Syriac, but pronounced more akin to Muslim Arabic Quran character name Isa in East Syriac «ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ» (ʾĪšōʿ). The reason for this confusion is their dropping of phonemes. Only someone that has no idea what the letters are or how they sound would have a name ending in a pharyngeal fricative like the ayin, if it were to be used in a name it would have had to be in the beginning, thus the Arabic rendition is the correct one. An example in English is how the appended -d is a common error amongst the English pronouncing Gaelic names. The name Donald arose from a common English mispronunciation of the Gaelic name Donal. Just how it is with donal becoming donald and the two becoming distinct and the original being regarded as something seperate so too did Isa PBUH turn to Iesous turn to jesus and when they tried going back to the original they confused it for yeshua ( ysu is how it is actually written) for Isa PBUH ( 3'eysah ) Schlözer in his preparation for the Arabia expedition in 1781 coined the term Semitic language: "From the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, from Mesopotamia to Arabia ruled one language, as is well known. Thus Syrians, Babylonians, Hebrews, and Arabs were one people (ein Volk). Phoenicians (Hamites) also spoke this language, which I would like to call the Semitic (die Semitische)." -Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German By Han F. Vermeulen. He was only half right though, Arabic is the only corollary to "proto-semitic", infact the whole semitic classification is nonsensical as will be shown.

In Arabic letter shapes are different depending on whether they are in the beginning , middle or end of a word. As a matter of fact, all of the knowledge needed for deciphering ancient texts and their complexity was derived from the Qur'an. It was by analyzing the syntactic structure of the Qur'an that the Arabic root system was developed. This system was first attested to in Kitab Al-Ayin, the first intralanguage dictionary of its kind, which preceded the Oxford English dictionary by 800 years. It was through this development that the concept of Arabic roots was established and later co-opted into the term 'semitic root,' allowing the decipherment of ancient scripts. In essence, they quite literally copied and pasted the entirety of the Arabic root. Hebrew had been dead, as well as all the other dialects of Arabic, until being 'revived' in a Frankensteinian fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries. The entire region spoke basically the same language, with mumbled dialect continuums spread about, and Arabic is the oldest form from which all these dialects branched off. As time passed, the language gradually became more degenerate, Language; When one looks at the actual linguistics, one will find that many were puzzled by the opposite, that is, how the other "semetic" languages were more "evolved" than Arabic, while Arabic had archaic features, not only archaic compared to bibilical Hebrew, Ethiopic, "Aramaic" contemporary "semetic" languages, but even archaic compared to languages from ancient antiquity; Ugaritic, Akkadain. What is meant here by Archaic is not what most readers think, it is Archaic not in the sense that it is simple, but rather that it is complex (think Latin to pig Latin or Italian or Old English, which had genders and case endings to modern English), not only grammatically, but also phonetically; All the so called semitic languages are supposed to have evolved from protosemetic, the Alphabet for protosemitic is that of the so called Ancient South Arabian (which interestingly corresponds with the traditional Arabic origins account) and has 28 Phonemes. Arabic has 28 phonemes. Hebrew has 22, same as Aramaic, and other "semitic" languages. Now pause for a second and think about it, how come Arabic, a language that is supposed to have come so late has the same number of letters as a language that supposedly predates it by over a millennium (Musnad script ~1300 BCE). Not only is the glossary of phonemes more diverse than any other semitic language, but the grammar is more complex, containing more cases and retains what's linguists noted for its antiquity, broken plurals. Indeed, a linguist has once noted that if one were to take everything we know about languages and how they develop, Arabic is older than Akkadian (~2500 BCE). And then the Qur'an appeared with the oldest possible form of the language thousands of years later. This is why the Arabs of that time were challenged to produce 10 similar verses, and they couldn't. People think it's a miracle because they couldn't do it, but I think the miracle is the language itself. They had never spoken Arabic, nor has any other language before or since had this mathematical precision. And when I say mathematical, I quite literally mean mathematical. Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years later in an alphabet that had never been recorded before, and in the highest form the language had ever taken? The creator is neither bound by time nor space, therefore the names are uttered as they truly were, in a language that is lexically, syntactically, phonemically, and semantically older than the oldest recorded writing. In fact, that writing appears to have been a simplified version of it. Not only that, but it would be the equivalent of the greatest works of any particular language all appearing in one book, in a perfect script and in the highest form the language could ever take. It is so high in fact, that it had yet to be surpassed despite the fact that over the last millennium the collection of Arabic manuscripts when compared on word-per-word basis in Western Museums alone, when they are compared with the collected Greek and Latin manuscripts combined, the latter does not constitute 1 percent of the former as per German professor Frank Griffel, in addition all in a script that had never been recorded before. Thus, the enlightenment of mankind from barbarism and savagery began, and the age of reason and rationality was born from its study. God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

Phoenicians (Hamites) also spoke this language, which I would like to call the Semitic (die Semitische)." -Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German By Han F. Vermeulen He was only half right though, Arabic is the only corollary to "proto-semitic", infact the whole semitic classification is nonsensical for anyone with a somewhat functioning mass between their ears. hebrew, aramaic, rest of madeup dialect continua only have 22 letters of the 29 protosemitic letters Arabic has all 29. The difference betweeen Arabic and the other creoles and Pidgin is the same as that between Latin and pig latin or italian. |Classical Arabic | 28 consonants, 29 with Hamza and 6 vowels; some consonants are emphatic or pharyngealized; some vowels are marked with diacritics | Complex system of word formation based on roots and patterns; roots are sequences of consonants that carry the basic meaning of a word; patterns are sequences of vowels and affixes that modify the meaning and function of a word | Flexible word order, but VSO is most common; SVO is also possible; subject and object are marked by case endings (-u for nominative, -a for accusative, -i for genitive); verb agrees with subject in person, number, and gender; verb has different forms for different moods and aspects | | Akkadian | 22 consonants and 3 vowels; some consonants are glottalized or palatalized; vowels are not marked | Similar system, but with different roots and patterns; some roots have more than three consonants; some patterns have infixes or reduplication | Fixed word order of SVO; subject and object are not marked by case endings, but by prepositions or word order; verb agrees with subject in person, number, and gender; verb has different forms for different tenses and aspects | | Aramaic | 22 consonants and 3 vowels (later variants have more); no emphatic or pharyngealized consonants (except in some dialects); vowels are not marked (except in later variants such as Syriac) | Simple system of word formation based on prefixes and suffixes; some roots or patterns exist, but are less productive than in Arabic or Akkadian | The reason why 'salam' is reduced to 'shalam' or 'shalom' in Aramaic and Hebrew is because they lost the distinction between S and SH (س , ش) "Semitic" is just mumbled Arabic, really. Imagine English with a third of its letters removed and simplified grammar. That's Aramaic, Hebrew, etc. For example, combine T and D into just T; there's no need to have 2 letters. The same goes for i, e, y - they should all be just y from now on, etc., etc. Arabic is the only corollary to proto-Semitic. In fact, the whole classification of Semitic languages is nonsensical for anyone with a somewhat functioning brain. Hebrew, Aramaic, and the rest of these made-up dialect continua only have 22 letters out of the 29 proto-Semitic letters. Arabic has all 29. The difference between Arabic and the other creoles and Pidgin is the same as the difference between Latin and pig Latin or Italian. "Phoenician" is an Arabic dialect continuum, and not only that, it is pidgin. It is simplified to the point of stupidity. Anyone with a basic knowledge of Arabic would see this clearly. What happened was that Arabic handicapped "scholars" saw the equivalent of Scottish Twitter spelling, with added mumbling due to phonemic mergers (22 letters, not 29), and mistakenly thought they were seeing a different language." Let's start with a simple sentence: ## The house is big Arabic: البيتُ كبيرٌ al-bayt-u kabīr-un Proto-Semitic: *ʔal-bayt-u kabīr-u Hebrew: הבית גדול ha-bayit gadol Akkadian: bītum rabûm Amharic: ቤቱ ገደሉ betu gedelu As can be seen, Arabic and Proto-Semitic have the same word order (noun-adjective), the same definite article (al-), and the same case endings (-u for nominative). Hebrew and Akkadian have lost the case endings and changed the definite article (ha- and -um respectively). Amharic has changed the word order (adjective-noun) and the definite article (u-). But Arabic is not only similar to Proto-Semitic, it is also pre-Semitic, meaning that it is the original form of Semitic before it split into different branches. This is because Arabic preserves many features that are not found in any other Semitic language, but are found in other Afro-Asiatic languages, such as Egyptian and Berber. These features include: - The definite article al-, which is derived from the demonstrative pronoun *ʔal- 'that'. This article is unique to Arabic among Semitic languages, but it is similar to the article n- in Berber and the article p-, t-, n- in Egyptian. - The dual number for nouns and verbs, which is marked by the suffix -ān or -ayn. This number is rare in other Semitic languages, but it is common in other Afro-Asiatic languages, such as Egyptian and Berber. - The imperfective prefix t- for verbs, which indicates the second person singular feminine or third person plural feminine. This prefix is unique to Arabic among Semitic languages, but it is similar to the prefix t- in Berber and Egyptian. - The passive voice for verbs, which is marked by the infix t between the first and second root consonants. This voice is unique to Arabic among Semitic languages, but it is similar to the passive voice in Egyptian and Berber. Finally, a more complex sentence: The letter was written with a pen. Arabic: كُتِبَتِ الرِّسَالَةُ بِالقَلَمِ kutiba-t al-risāla-t-u bi-l-qalam-i Proto-Semitic: *kutiba-t ʔal-risāla-t-u bi-l-qalam-i Hebrew: המכתב נכתב בעט ha-michtav niktav ba-et Akkadian: šipram šapāru bēlum Egyptian: sḏm.n.f p-ẖry m rnp.t Berber: tturra-t tibratin s uccen Here, Arabic and Proto-Semitic have the same word order (verb-subject-object), the same passive voice marker (-t-), the same definite article (al-), and the same preposition (bi-). Hebrew has changed the word order (subject-verb-object), lost the passive voice marker, changed the definite article (ha-) and the preposition (ba-). Akkadian has changed the word order (object-subject-verb), lost the passive voice marker, changed the definite article (-um) and the preposition (bēlum). Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years in a language that is lexically, syntactically, phonemically, and semantically older than the oldest recorded writing? Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years later in an alphabet that had never been recorded before, and in the highest form the language had ever taken? God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

Everyone seems to overlook the Manichaean influences in the 7th century Syriac speaking world.

The coins from the time period are very telling, some feature the blended imagery of Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Buddhism, and when I see that I immediately think of Mani.

As far as the earliest stages of Syriac grammar is concerned, our information about it is scarce. Most of what we know about the terminology of the early Syriac grammarians (e.g., Jacob of Edessa) is derived from the reports in the later writers, such as Bar Hebraeus [d. 1286 CE], and it is likely that their terminology reflects Arabic influence rather than a genuinely indigenous development. Versteegh says: Unfortunately, we do not know very much about the earliest attempts of the Syrians in grammar and reading, in the sixth and seventh centuries. Most of what we know is derived from later Syriac writings, which were, however, composed at a time when the Syriac tradition had undergone the influence of Arabic grammar, and had taken over most of the conceptual and terminological apparatus of that tradition. As a matter of fact, both Syriac and Hebrew grammatical terminology, as we know it, are a calque of the Arabic terminology. Unfortunately for Mingana and Luxenberg, their assumptions of Syriac orthographical and grammatical influences on Arabic fall flat on their faces. LOLZ !!

Arabic uses a modified version of the Syriac alphabet and even uses Syriac loanwords. How would Arabic become more advanced than Syriac considering that Syriac was born from a more advanced population that lived in an advanced civilization that was incubated from Mesopotamian, Persian, and Greek knowledge while Arabs only had so and so knowledge from Greeks, Persians, and Romans?

[@samuelmorales2344]

The Quran was finished post 7th century and developed in the areas of the Levant and Mesopotamia. One reason why Muslims don't understand the Quran in that it has no context is because the Arabs took Christian lectionaries and liturgies to make scripture. To understand Quran, you actually need to be Christian who knew the lingua franca of the time. In addition, the Quran contains Jewish and Christian apocrypha. Islam came later and became what it is a couple of centuries when the Arabs found a consensus on the story of their prophet which originally was Jesus. Just like Christians, they must profess faith in God and the prophet. What is strange is Muhammad of Islam is just a man while Jesus is a god. Why would you profess faith in a man? When Islam was developing it's conduct for the people, that is when you start to see science decline, and philosophers going into exile. This points to a clearly man-made religion that was removing things to accommodate a new religion created under the order of the caliphs. The people who would become Muslims were actually part of the Byzantine and Sassanian Empires. When the Byzantines defeated the Persians, they retreated, and left the regions in the Levant unoccupied and the Arabs took over as a de-facto client state paying tribute to the Byzantines. Eventually the Arabs would defy their former rulers and create their own identity. Many things, including cultural customs such as women wearing veils over their body and faces existed in Christian communities in Himyar, present-day Yemen, and within Byzantium itself. Islam surely comes from Christianity as a fabrication. There is plenty of evidence where Islam really comes from with many dots to connect.

Certainly they are semitic languages, and most likely they were closer to each other when Quran was revealed. Many words may be common or sound similar.

@Fighting Media It changes the meanings of what the original manuscripts meant. Which Quran are you referring to? There are 30 official Quran's and of those 10 (Readers) are from different schools. Each school had a different way to recite the Quran but they also have differences in meaning as they disagreed with each other in how it should be recited. Surah 27 verse 21. has Soloman and Sheba talking about a bird. With the Hafs Quran there is an affirmative action while in Warsh's Quran no action took place. So which is it? If you compare Hafs and Warsh there are around 5,000 diferences which change the meaning. Most of the Muslim's I know and have talked to do not know about the 30 Official Quran's.

Really I find it in recent sources the same arguments we know that classical arabic was extremly influenced by Syriac and that the Syrian christianity influenced the Arabian peninsula.

[@OmnipresentPotato]

0:48 this is a completely unfounded claim. There is no word in the entire Quran whose meaning is not known wnd explained in various Tafseers. Even if you consider some specific words which have had various opinions, they would not ever be a quarter of all the words in thr Quran. Does this mean that if anyone today tries to read will be able to understand the language? No, because we don't speak Arabic as fluently as people did 1400 years ago, which is why some people don't understand the words. But the words themselves have known meanings. Of course, you can get an idea for the meanings of Arabic words (not necessarily just Quranic) through Syriac because they are both in the same family group and are very similar languages. You can do the same with Hebrew. For example, the Arabic word for peace, salam, is very similar to the Hebrew shalom, because they are similar languages. You can do the same with Indo-European languages. For example, vater in German, padre in Spanish, père in French, pater in Latin, pita in Hindi, father in English, are all very similar, because they belong to the same family group. Using this idea to say that the Quran was originally in Syriac is the height of idiocy. You can apply the same thing to explain that Shakespeare actually originally wrote in French, and point to many similar words. But this completely ignores how the vast, vast majority of the words and structures are originally in English, not French. 1:35, this is also a completely false statement. Syriac was a language spoken in, say, the Levant, or the northern part of the peninsula. But Arabic was the main language used in the rest of the peninsula, in Najd and rhe Hejaz and Yemen, and in Mecca and Medinah. Written Arabic was not in its infancy. Poetry was very popular amongst the Arabs, and the most popular poems were written down and hanged upon the Kaaba. We have many Arabic writings from that time and from before. Yes, languages mixed. That was normal. Words were borrowed. But once they became used commonly in Arabic, you can't say, then, that these words were Syriac. Do you say that the English word "cotton" (which comes from the Arabuc qutn) is actually an Arabic word, and that English people speak a mix of Arabic and English due to the amount of Arabic words present in English, such as sugar, cat, algebra etc.? It's a nonsensical notion. The comparison with Anglo-Saxons and Normans isn't correct, because, as stated earlier, Arabic was (surprise) the main language spoken in Arabia. People spoke to each other in Arabic. The majority didn't know any other language, and if they did, it was because of trade and travel, not because they regularly interacted with Syriac people. Consider this: while Anglo-Saxons may have spoken French with their Norman overlords, would it be logical that they spoke French amongst themselves, or that they spoke English? The whole idea is nonsensical and a comic attempt at deriving conclusions based on faulty logic and analogies.

From wikipedia Dutch archaeologist Richard Kroes[11] describes Luxenberg's book in a review article as "almost unreadable, certainly for the layman. One needs knowledge of eight languages (German, English, French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Syriac) and of five different alphabets (Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Estrangelo) to comprehend the book fully. A good working knowledge of German, Arabic and Syriac is indispensable to be able to assess the book. [...] Luxenberg's main problem however is that his line of reasoning doesn't follow the simple and strict method that he set out at the beginning of his book."[12] Conclusive remarks about the book are expressed as "certainly not everything Luxenberg writes is nonsense or too far-fetched, but quite a few of his theories are doubtful and motivated too much by a Christian apologetic agenda. Even his greatest critics admit he touches on a field of research that was touched on by others before and that deserves more attention. However, this needs to be done with a strictly scientific approach. In fact, his investigations should be done again, taking into account all the scholarly work that Luxenberg doesn't seem to know."

_Aslama/muslim_ ( verbal noun _islaam_ ) is the Arabic cognate of the Aramaic verb _ašlem/mašlem_ "hand over, betray" (the verb in Luke 22 verse 48 in the Syro-Aramaic NT). #themoreyouknow

[@nickmansfield1]

Last time I checked Luke wrote in highly proficient Greek. Moreover the Tanakh clearly defines muslim in Hebrew and this is confirmed in the Evangel.

[@Kielimies]

@@nickmansfield1 Nothing comes from bringing the Greek translation into this, as I was talking about the Syro-Aramaic translation of the New Testament (NT) a.k.a. the Peshitta. I was unaware that the Tanakh contains "Hebrew definitions" of Arabic active participles like _muslim_ . You are going to have to tell us what kind of a "definition" you are talking about here and what you are trying to prove.

[@nickmansfield1]

@@Kielimies What then is the relevance of the Peshitta to the NT Gospel? Others who have examined a case for Pesh. primacy have concluded, there is none, so that is your fallacy given their case is strong. My case was succinctly made insomuch as Luke was Greek and highly proficient in Greek so his Gospel was written in Greek. If you are making your case from somebody else's claim, how do you know they are correct? Even if they are correct then the Aramaic would be totally contrary to the Hebrew and Arabic. Yeshua ben Miriam was an expert in Hebrew so I cannot see any case for him having spoken Aramaic words which clearly contradict the Biblical message of the Tanakh. Another issue is that you seem to be identifying Arabic grammar with Hebrew grammar. I am no expert on grammar but I believe that they are quite different languages in terms of grammar although they share many common words, taghut for instance. The prophets of the Tanakh and Yeshua ben Miriam himself certainly wrote/spoke about Mohammad and Islam. You require a case to prove that the definition from former prophets matches that of the modern adherents to Islam, or otherwise. If you are prepared to criticise me then you need to examine the usage of the word muslim in the Tanakh in the first instance. Moreover this video is all about examining ancient scripture from a technical perspective rather than traditions. Thank you.

The Imam at 7:15 cracks me up. When it's inconvenient the Bible and Qur'an are not the same. When it suits them My God is your God. Given the amount of borrowed theology from the bible and apocrypha. It's fair that the Qur'an is measured against the bible. Also given how much of the Qur'an relies on Hadith to understand the context, scholars need to understand the Qur'an without a Islamic lens.

[@ClearLight369]

Modern Aramaic can also be heard in remote areas like the Chicago suburbs.......

[@voiceofreasoning]

Qur'an being allowed to recite in some six recitations that's because to prevent people from misusing. And also Qur'an being written in the language of the Quraish and that's the language the Qur'an was revealed. Qur'an was not only written down and also memorized by so many people. And Qur'an was recited day and night and also more and more people were encourage to memories the Qur'an So there is no room for argument.

very good Luxenberg

it would not be endangered if they taught aramaic for free, i want to learn aramaic the language of jesus christ!

[@nickmansfield1]

Hebrew. The bulk of the Gospels must be read in Hebrew, especially where The Tankah is quoted. Just like Arabic is the primary language of The Qur'an. Other readings assist us to more fully understand both.

[@husaamsaif]

Any description dedicated to a character is fit to that character only. So describing God with any adjective is only dedicated to his incomparable character not to ours. So, When you say God is good, it's not like saying Sam is good. God's goodness belongs to his incomparable character only and so on.

Strange that the LIVING God would send a book that not all His human creation cannot understand, Strange that the book only focuses on MUHD'S time and personal life and is so time bound. An eternal BOOK?

@truthhitmanisback Lol, when I said independant, I meant that you do not identify yourself with a particular faith, just like when you call someone politically independant when they do not identify themselves with a party.

Bingo. Unfortunately many people from many other religions in the past and present have done and continue to do this. That's why it's our job to have a brain!!!

Arabic Poets are known for their artistic poetry long before Mohamed was born. How could he claim the Quran was the first book written in Arabic? The Quran is "Mahfouz" learned by heart by thousands of people. Its consistence does not rely upon paper storage, or hard disk storage but on storage in the memories of people. No body was/will be able to manipulate what people learned by heart from the source and still learning by heart from generation to another.

[@Eopyk]

Also his book is from 2007 not that old.

[@zaggy3110]

1. The quran was re-written, but by member of arab tribes who built in pre-islamic pagan customs and pagan ideas into the quranic belief system. 2. Concerning the language of Jesus your are right. And according to several church fathers the gospel of Matthew originally was written in hebrew, not aramaic

[@azrael3326]

Are you muslim now?

[@khalidbenwalid2463]

Im muslim and i find this interesting. To be honest how can one god reveal 3 different books in 3 different language's. One hebrew torah. One greek or hebrew bible and one arabic quran. Are you sure they all were not revealed in one language. The oldest of the semitic. The original one. Whatever that maybe And then they translated it to Greek,Hebrew,Arabic and 1000 and so years later now believe this is the original. Something iffy is going on. Its just people are just struggling to admit it. The midde east used to ride camels and horse's and this was normal. But now all of them drive cars and fight for it and today this is normal. The middle east yesterday were completely different to what it is today. You wouldnt even recognise any of Muhammad in hardly any of them. No farm like muhammad. But oil refineries. No camel or horse But car.... etc

[@sidprice6214]

There were in fact more than 3 revelations but only 4 that are mention with certainty - the Torah, the Zaboor, the Injeel and the Quran. The Torah and Zaboor (Psalms) were most likely revealed in Hebrew, The Injeel in Aramaic (or Hebrew) and the Quran in Arabic. All three languages are related. The Quran states that all the books came from one Book meaning that they are in fact parts of one Book. The differences in language comes about due to the long periods of time between the revelations. Jesus appeared a long time after Moses and hence by that stage the 11 hebrew tribes were decimated while the Jews (at least in Jesus's locality) spoke Aramaic. The difference is also due to two parts of Abrahams family. Ishmael migrated southward to the Arabs while Isaac went westward towards Jerusalem. God says in the Quran that revelation is given to the Prophets in their own language to make it easier for their people to understand. There is nothing iffy in the matter if you study it carefully.

[@vxzvcsv5783]

Marvelous Quran youtube channel has better translation.

[@almazchati4178]

You should try other languages as well. French is quite sonorous language. A French monk may have traveled to Arabia in search of Jesus and Moses, and may have met with Mohammad. How ebout a french reading?

[@paulos1466]

The German professor's documentary presents some evidence that the Quran is derived from the Bible and posits that its origins are in Aramaic, not Arabic. This challenges the traditional belief and the lie about the divine revelation of the Quran.

[@williamir]

Amazing how people never give up falsifying holy scripture for what reason ever (money, fame, power, stupidity or just for being evil)

[@VipericVampire]

@messianicrogue I did read your comment. How else could I have responded to it? Anyway. I am ending this conversation. You are ludicrous for judging me like you do, without looking at this from the Islamic perspective. This is not about elitism. Get that through that little hot-aired head of yours, "messianicrogue" (lol). And have a nice day.

Does anybody know if Puin has actually provided any alternative readings to the presently understood manner in which it is read. Luxemburg talks about being married to grapes in paradise - which doesn't sound right and so let us completely ignore Luxemburg's efforts as unscholarly and illogical. Now - can we have examples from Puin??????

That's not what Luxenberg said. Unfortunately you've confused the various passages.
