The last work that shall be discussed is a relatively recent one: The Collection of the Qur’an by John Burton. It was published in 1977 by Cambridge University Press.

What Burton did was to take the theories of Schacht concerning the validity of hadeeth and apply them to the history of the compilation of the Qur’aan.

Unfortunately for the missionary, an understanding can be reached if a little more thought can be put into their argument.

Certainly, God Almighty could have taken a “wife” and have “children” or have “children” without any consort whatsoever (nau’zubillahi min zaalik)….Read More
