Re: Children are?
True, shakespeare's plays have been the same. If you look at my earlier posts, you will see that I was referring to religious texts and not any text. And religious texts are most likely to be tampered with because some people may not like what is written in them and hence may want to change them.
Yes, Muhammad sallAllahualaihiwasallam was illiterate but he had the whole Quran memorized and his companions also memorized It and eventually wrote it down.
I have seen the claims of those who say that Quran has been tampered with, and to tell you truth those claims are all false allegations.
If you study how the Quran was compiled, you will realize that all these claims have been made to decieve people.
Here's a brief summary:
The council which was responsible for the writing of the Quran in a compiled form was lead by Zaid bin Thabit (he had memorized the Quran and was present with Muhammad when Muhammad recited the Quran twice during his last Ramadan) and this council was ordered to do so by Abu Bakr. And yes there were some "verses" that were thrown out, the problem is that these weren't verses of the Quran, people took some Sayings of the Prophet to be verses of the Quran by mistake. That's why everything had to be verified by a council before committing it to paper in its entire form.
