Quran in its Historical Context - book
-
"Syro-aram?ische Lesart des Koran", tells us that the Quran can be traced to a Christian lectionary written in an Aramaic-Arabic language hybrid.
Patricia Crone and Michael Cook developed a thesis that the origin of Islam was in Southern Palestine rather than in Mecca and Medina; they understand the focus on Mecca and Medina as a later Islamic origin myth as is propogated with some what differences by some authors at this site like ayman, Layth and others.
In the quest of finding the original meaninings of quran, we have changed "hur" with white grapes" did this bring other religons nearer to Islam? shall we change each and every ayat and surah which is not acceptable to Jews, Christians, etc to call them to Islam? how many converts the believers of this site have made? and how many converts has Zakir Naik or others who do not believe in altering the Quran have made? if this is the object to gain.
Yes, the influence of Aramaic on Quran should be taken seriously.
some Koran expressions could be explained by the Aramaic language, and it is thus desirable to continue research in this direction. But that is it.However Luxenberg claims
The Qur'an is not (grammatically) Arabic with Aramaic loan-words, but is composed in a jargon that mixes structural elements of two different languages.
Al-quran
We are fully aware that they say,
"A human being is teaching him!"
The tongue of the source they hint at is non-Arabic,
and this is a perfect Arabic tongue.
Surely, those who do not believe in GOD's revelations,
GOD does not guide them.
They have incurred a painful retribution
