Variant Korans-

[brenton]

Sorry, I am not an expert.
What I meant, was that I read that there were 7 "schools" of variant study in Qur'an study for centuries. What I was saying overall was that the Bible and Qur'an have some things in common, but they are quite different in the way they came about and the way they are studied.

lol sorry 4 late reply just noticed this was sittin in my usercp..

nah it's not 7 "differences of opinion" or "schools of thought"... thehy're 7 official ways of reciting it...

Teh prophet himself said "the quran was revealed on 7 letters" (letters here means 'pronounciations' or 'styles').... as i mentioned in my previous post...

They aren't 7 "versions" of the quran like the way you have x versions of the bible which are independent of one another. The quran is one book that was revealed by the same creator in seven different styles of recitation.

take care all the best
