The Quran was sent down in the 4th Century?
-
The word used, sparsely, in the Qur'an to say virgin is bikr. There is another way in Arabic that I do not know that it has been used int he Qur'an to mean that, but it is the word that is used by christians to name Virgin Mary which is 3adhra'.
In fact the Qur'an does not use any of those words for Maryam, or for anybody else, nor there is a single word that Maryam uses to say that she is chaste. It uses a negative, "I am not baghiya" (translated as "unchaste". The virgin part up to that point she makes it clear saying that "no basharhas touched me".
So indeed, with whatever words, the events are made clear.
Up to that point she was virgin and she was chaste. We have no reason to suspect that she was unchaste afterwards, since precisely God purified her to become a prophet and mother of a prophet, but we have no reason either to think that she continued being a virgin. Being a virgin is not a value, like being chaste is a value. Why should it matter that she was or she was not a virgin? Who cares about that. She is chaste, like Yusuf was chaste. What is the need to find out something that does nto concern us. Are we told about any prophet in the Qur'an whether he was a virgin or not at any given point?
When she first got the announcement in 3.42 the angels talk to her.
Then in 19.16 we are told that she withdrew from her family to a place in the East keeping herself hidden from them. Then God sent His spirit, shich appeared to her in all respects as a human being.
We can read the dialogue quietly in the Qur'an, it is there from 19.16 onwards.
So, in 3.42 the angels (plural) talk to her and make her an announcement.
Then in 19.16 she withdraws from her family to a place in the east where they cannot know what she does and God sends to her His spirit which in all respects appears to her as a human being. And he reminds her of the announcement...
And then she becomes pregnant...
Of course she is chaste. ?Virgin? ?Why should she need the presence of a ruh in all respects appearing to her as a human being for the announcement to be made true?
We may believe whatever we want, but one thing stands out glaringly The Qur'an, the God that speaks in it, does not give a damn about virginity. He does about chastity. Even the one time He mentions "virgins" in 66.5 He does in sense as if He boasted on behalf of the Prophet on what he could have by way of wives who would give him standing but no problems and mentions non virgins and virgins.
So what is this interest on having Maryam be a virgin? Making a miracle of it? Then why not make it plain and explicit in the Qur'an? Look she conceived as she still was a virgin, in the past, completed action. The fact is the Qur'an doesn't give a damn about miracles either, because we are continually reminded that everything is and lasts because God does it, that everything we know and look at is in itself a miracle. What more miracles do we want? If we need more miracles we should go to circus or a magicians session. Is that the way God calls us to believe, when He continually instructs to reflect, to ponder, to think deeply... TO REASON?
Why, in order to make Maryam pregnant should he need or want to send His roh in the appearance of a bashar?
Is not every creature conceived a roh from the Almighty? What do we think, that WE do it? We should read carefully the words of the Qur'an on conception. When we need to think that He made a miracle for Maryam to conceive, we really, really, do not believe so much in Him with respecto to anything else. We ourselves are a miracle.

I found Quranic evidence which proofs that the history of Islam need to be revamp hmm. I am not sure about this and that if anyone can shed some lights !
High possibility that Prophet Muhammad, was born before the 4th Century of the Common Era and the Holy Quran was sent down in the 4th Century in order to counter the distortion of the 1st Book of ALLAH, which comprises of the Torah and Injeel by the Roman Christians as confirmed by the Quranic verse below
Peace Hizbullah,
If you are comfortable using historical references a good question would be "who was emperor of Rome during
Muhammad's lifetime" since Rome and other nations had many references to the Roman empire. You could also
compare other rulers, wars that were fought, or who received letters from Muhammad etc.,.God bless

Yes, it is a good question. However, the Quran never mentioned the names of the Emperors of the Roman Empire nor any exchange of letters between the leaders. But the Quran possibly recorded down the speech of these people or events relating to war. For example the Quran mentioned about the Romans in Chapter 30.
- Alif Lam Mim. 2. Victorious the Romans. 3. In the LOW LAND, and they, after their victory, will be defeated. 4. In a few years. The decision of the matter, before and after is only with ALLAH. And on that day, the believers will rejoice. 5. With the help of ALLAH. He helps whom He wills, and HE is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. 6. A promise from ALLAH, and ALLAH fails not in HIS promise, but most men know not.
The above military campaign is also recorded in collaboration with Quran 0841 ? 42
.....if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the Day of Criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah , over all things, is competent.
When you were on the near side of the enemy, and they were on the farther side of the enemy, and the caravan was LOWER than you. If you had made an appointment, you would have missed the appointment. But so that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished would perish upon evidence and those who lived would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
The above military campaign carried out by the Prophet is also recorded in the Quran 03152 to 155.
Historical evidence also proofs that the Roman empire was in a deteriorate position in the 4th Century, especially in the western part of the Empire where the Germanic tribes revolted against the Romans. Another Roman enemy was Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire , which stretched from the Ural River to the Rhine River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea .During his reign he was one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. He crossed the Danube twice and plundered the Balkans , but was unable to take Constantinople . His unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the success of which emboldened Attila to invade the West . He also attempted to conquer Roman Gaul (modern France), crossing the Rhine in 451 and marching as far as Aurelianum (Orl?ans ) before being defeated at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.

The word BAGHIYA, means promiscuous woman. So Maryam said "Nor am I a promiscuous woman". This proofs that she was not a "loose woman" as per your post 52

...Historical evidence from the earliest Christian version of this story comes from the Syrian bishop, Jacob of Sarugh (c. 450-521), in the 6th-century.
Another significant Quranic proof ?
AQ 1825 - And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine
Historical evidence shows that the persecution of the so called Christians in the Roman Empire occurred over a period of about three centuries until the 313 Edict of Milan issued by Emperors Constantine and Licinius. This was the beginning of the era of official Christianity. A new religion was born. The Sleepers of the Cave slept in the year 13 and woke up 300 years later, in the year 313. 313 CE was the period where the persecutions to the believers stop. ALLAH THE EXALTED extended the lives of the Sleepers to another 9 years. They died in year 322. The 1st Nicene Creed was in the year 325.

The Quran is the verification of all past truths. The so called Old and New Testament are a mixture of truths and falsehoods whose content is measured in relation to the Quran. That goes for history of this world. If these finds verification in the Quran then it is declared true. However if it is negated by the Quran then it is surely false. It is not for me to allow or disallow

Salam,
I know what you meant, let me explain my point
AQ 1825 - And they tarried in the Cave three hundred years, and they added nine more.
The red sentence - ALLAH confirms that they live in the cave for 300 years and green sentence - that they added another 9 years to how long the sleepers had live in the cave.
Say 'God knows very well how long they tarried. To Him belongs the Unseen in the heavens and in the earth. How well He sees! How well He hears! They have no protector, apart from Him, and He associates in His government no one.'
The prophet was asked to say that ALLAH knows well how long they had lived. That ALLAH was there as a witness.

What about the verse I had shown in Post 1, if the Prophet lived in the 7th Century, that means the Quran was sent 300 years after Nicea, why is it in the PRESENT TENSE AND NOT PAST TENSE. Please explain to me, thank you in advance.
No where in the Quran that mentioned about the Persians. The Persian Empire had already been destroyed by the Greco-Romans in the 300 BC. The Greco-Romans were the super power of the ME from Britanica to the Indus River Valley! Greco-Romans edicts were found in Afghanistan.

I'm fine with historical references, but there is no Attila the Hun and his borders as per Quran! You should have
simply stated " an unsubstantiated person". To solve this problem allow historical references that do not contradict
the Quran (like letters and other historical documents, add a grain of salt ( meaning, 'with reservations, skeptically' )
and then leave the findings for the reader to accept or reject.Still you are finding your verification of the Qurans origin by highlighting the Counsel of Nicaea, if that were the case,
one might argue that the Quran could have been written earlier than the date you quote by using previous biblical
apocryphal Gospels texts and translations Therefore in the end you end up attributing the Qurans origin to dates
not supported by Quran but only via speculation. 2/79 in my opinion does not support your thesis.God bless

Why did the Prophet warned the people to uphold the Taurat and Injeel and what is sent down to the Prophet (056 - ?
Why did the Prophet warned the Israelis and the Jews to refer to the Taurat - (0393; 0543) - ?

What I have shown is to proof that the Romans was in a deteriorate position in the 4th Century and even further deteriorate in the 5th Century, as promise of ALLAH in 3001.
The Ghassanid and Lakhmid, both Yemeni tribes migrated to the north in the 4th Century. Why? To become Roman and Persian puppets respectively as mentioned in history? Definitely not! Both tribes migrated to the north of Arabia and not invaded with an army. They were the ones who spread Islam throughout the Middle East. Please read Post 10.
