AliBaba, you are REALLY reaching here. If your sole intent is to try to discredit Islam and drag it through the mud, then I suggest you move on to another site. Anyone can come up with crazy theories. Can you discredit the Da Vinci Code? Can you discredit the theory that Jesus is buried in a sepulcher in Kashmir? Can you discredit the recently discovered Gospel of Judas? At least this ancient parchment exists. Prove it's a lie, if you can...

As was done for the Bible, academic research is now scrutinizing the Quran. Luxenberg's theory is interesting but it has not found acceptance with scholars.
I read in a German magazine an interview with him where he said he is going to publish a new book about the origins of the Quran. So until that book is published, if it ever is, it is wiser to leave Luxenberg aside. Besides we do not know his real identity. |

In April 1901, two French archeologists, R. Dussaud and F. Macler, discovered the tomb of Imru al-Qays. The date of death was 328 CE. The inscription on the tomb was written in Mudari Arabic. What was most striking about this discovery was that it not only pushed back the history of Mudari Arabic 200 years, the previous oldest inscription was in 519 CE, but that the language on the tomb was so close to the Arabic of the Quran. This is a full 200 years before the birth of the Prophet Mohammed. Most academics agree that by the time of the Prophet's birth, written and spoken Mudari Arabic flourished. |

But do you have any substantial proof - such as the earliest manuscript evidence, proving that the Quran was written in Arabic - or could this guy's theory be right?

ak: I know it doesn't have to be true. There is a theory that the New Testament was orginally written in Hebrew - I don't believe it, it's just a theory. What do you think of this theory regarding the Quran?
