[edit] Overview

I killed this section because it was unreferenced and seemingly unfactual. --Aminz 00:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summary

Like many other figures e.g. Jesus and Moses there is no evidence he existed other then his religious sources. This I find very puzzling both because of the people in the region and the times he lived. I think reading this others are puzzled too. BernardZ 23:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

BernardZ, historicity of Muhammad is almost certain. It is different from that of Jesus, not to speak of Moses. We know about Muhammad more than any other person from ancient times. --Aminz 00:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Jesus was in his time a minor figure. Moses is a long time ago. Muhammad would have been neither. I find it puzzling that we have nothing outside of Islamic sources to show BernardZ 04:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

As the article says, there are non-Muslim sources as well. In any case, you should support your statement through scholarly sources. --Aminz 05:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

That reference in that article is hardly an authoritarian reference BernardZ 06:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

At least it is an scholarly source passing WP:RS requirements if not an authoritarian reference --Aminz 06:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC) In fact Muhammad or any other figure related to revelation is not a matter to dispute. The prevailing idea of Islam proves the prophecy of Quran that any other religious figure is not so much successful on both religios and secular levels.~~zikr

[edit] Qur'an in the House of Manuscript in Sana'a.

There are major differences in it between the current Qur'an and it. I have not found any scholarly references yet to this but I think we should add something about what is an incredible find here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BernardZ (talk • contribs) 05:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

I have decided to make a page on this Qur'an and maybe people can supply more details on it BernardZ 04:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
