![]() ![]() ![]() The verses we have in the Quran were the real verses reveled to the Prophet(SAW) and that is what he recited to the people around him. The author by taking a scientific approach to the incident suggests that the Satanic verses were neither revealed by Allah(ST), nor conveyed by angel Gabriel, nor inserted by Satan, nor recited by the Prophet(SAW). 1157), Fakhr ad-Din Razi (1220) as well as al-Qurtubi (1285) have refuted the incident, Ibn Taymiyya was of the view the incident did happen. However, objections to the incident were raised as early as the fourth Islamic century. Martin Lings, formerly Keeper of Oriental Manuscript in the British Museum and the British Library, is the author of other works on Islamic mysticism, A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century and What is Sufism, both published by the Islamic Texts Society. Martin Lings' award winning book is now available on audio as an abridged 6-hour spoken word album, read by well-known narrator Sean Barrett (famous for his TV documentary voice-overs, the BBC World Service and many other spoken word titles). When he reached the verses "Have you seen al-Lāt and al-'Uzzā and Manāt, the third, the other?' in Surah An-Najm, Satan cast upon his tongue: 'These are the high-flying cranes and their intercession is to be hoped for.' The incident is reported in the literature dating from the first two centuries of Islam. Widely recognized as the best biography of the Prophet (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) in English, Dr. Satanic Verses refers to words of "satanic suggestion" which the Prophet(SAW) is alleged to have mistaken for divine revelation. ![]()
