πŸ”₯ What Was Lost in the Flames

The Erased Verses of the Qur’an That Muslims Never Read


🧭 Introduction: Preservation or Purge?

Muslims are told:

❝ The Qur’an has never been changed. Not a word, not a letter. ❞

But that’s not what early Islamic history says.

After Muhammad’s death, Uthman launched a Qur’anic purge, ordering:

  • One official version to be written,

  • All other manuscripts to be burned,

  • Disagreements erased from history.

So the question is:

What was in those manuscripts that got burned?
What verses did the early Muslims know — that today’s Qur’an doesn’t include?

Here’s the answer, straight from Islamic sources themselves.


πŸ“œ 1. The Stoning Verse – Gone Without a Trace

“If a man and a woman commit adultery, stone them to death.”

This verse:

  • Was part of the Qur’an according to Umar ibn al-Khattab (2nd caliph),

  • Is quoted in Sahih Bukhari, Sunan Ibn Majah, and Musnad Ahmad,

  • Was allegedly forgotten, but still applied in Islamic law.

Umar said:

❝ Had I not feared that people would say Umar added to the Qur’an, I would have written it in. ❞
Sahih Bukhari 6830

It was in the Qur’an.
It was abrogated verbally, but the ruling remained.
That’s not preservation — that’s selective deletion.


πŸ“œ 2. The Suckling Verse – Censored Content

“Ten known sucklings makes marriage unlawful…”

Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

Aisha said:

❝ There was a verse about ten sucklings… then it became five… and then the paper was under my pillow — and a goat ate it. ❞
Sunan Ibn Majah 1944

This isn’t a joke. It’s a canonical verse of the Qur’an — that:

  • Was practiced as law,

  • Then vanished,

  • Then blamed on a goat.

Preservation? Or poor storage planning?


πŸ“œ 3. Surah of Ubayy ibn Ka’b – The Extra Chapters

Ubayy ibn Ka’b — one of the four men Muhammad said to learn the Qur’an from — had:

  • Two extra surahs in his mushaf: Surat al-Khal and Surat al-Hafd.

Early sources like Ibn Abi Dawud’s Kitab al-Masahif confirm their existence.

These chapters:

  • Were recited in prayer,

  • Preserved by companions,

  • Excluded from the Uthmanic canon.

Why?

Because Uthman had already decided what “the Qur’an” would be.


πŸ“œ 4. Ibn Mas’ud’s Mushaf – Missing Surahs

Muhammad’s top reciter, Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, refused to include:

  • Surah Al-Fatihah (1),

  • Surah Al-Falaq (113),

  • Surah An-Nas (114)

He said:

❝ They are not part of the Qur’an. ❞
Reported in Ibn Abi Dawud

Today, these are essential parts of Islamic prayer.

So either Ibn Mas’ud got it wrong…
Or the Qur’an today is not what Muhammad’s closest followers recited.


🧠 Let’s Break It Down Logically

πŸ”Ή Premise 1:

Islam claims the Qur’an has been perfectly preserved, with no loss or change.

πŸ”Ή Premise 2:

Islamic sources document:

  • Erased verses,

  • Forgotten chapters,

  • Missing surahs,

  • Goat-eaten revelations.

✅ Conclusion:

The Qur’an we have today is not complete.
It is the product of editing, erasing, and enforced standardization.


πŸ”₯ What Uthman Burned, History Remembered

The Uthmanic canon didn’t preserve all revelation —
It selected, streamlined, and silenced everything that didn’t conform.

The “perfectly preserved Qur’an” is a myth built on ashes.
The verses may be gone —
But the evidence of their existence survived.

And that’s enough to destroy the claim of unbroken transmission.


πŸ’¬ Mic-Drop Closer

“If the Qur’an was perfectly preserved…
Why did verses get stoned, eaten, excluded, and erased?

What Uthman burned may be gone —
But what was lost in the flames proves Islam’s central claim is a lie.”
