The Qiraat Cover-Up: How Men Managed the Quran
1. The Quran Was Standardized by Political Authority
The first major problem begins with Uthman.
If the Quran was already universally fixed, why did Uthman need to standardize official codices and destroy rival materials?
That was not merely copying. It was state backed control. The caliphate chose one official textual direction and suppressed competing forms.
Later qiraat history depended on the Uthmanic rasm, the consonantal skeleton of the official codices. Readings that did not fit that rasm were increasingly rejected, even when linked to major Companions like Ibn Masud and Ubayy b. Kaab.
#WEREAD UPDATE:
#TheClearQuran contradiction claim
Quran 19:7 says Zachariah is given good news of a son named Yahya, and then says:
“We have not assigned to any before this name.”
Many translations take this to mean no one before him had that name. Quran Corpus lists translations such as “We have never given such a name to anyone else” and “No namesake have We given him aforetime.”
The problem #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
If Yahya is supposed to be John the Baptist, then the claim is historically difficult.
The Hebrew form behind “John” is Yohanan / Johanan, meaning something like “Yahweh is gracious.” That name existed before John the Baptist.
Examples:
1 Chronicles 3:15 mentions Johanan, the firstborn son of Josiah. BibleHub gives the Hebrew as Yohanan.
1 Maccabees 2:1-2 mentions Mattathias as “son of John” and also says Mattathias had a son named John, who was called Gaddi. That is before John the Baptist.
Josephus also discusses Hasmonean figures named John, especially John Hyrcanus, who ruled from 134 to 104 BC, before John the Baptist.
“We read to know we are not alone.”
