Professors Shady Nasser from Harvard and Gabriel Reynolds from the University of Notre Dame explore the history of the revelation and compilation of the Quran according to traditional Muslim sources. They describe the process of revelation through the angel Gabriel to Muhammad over a period of 20 to 23 years, highlighting the absence of a complete compilation at the death of the Prophet. The crucial stages of the compilation are then examined, from the first initiative by Abu Bakr, motivated by the loss of many reciters during the Apostasy Wars, to the major standardization undertaken by the caliph Uthman. The latter, triggered by concerns about divergent recitations, led to the establishment of an official version of the text, disseminated throughout the Muslim world. The speakers shed light on the political and social implications of this process, including the tensions arising from the elimination of alternative versions held by some companions. They also highlight how the accounts of this compilation often reflect later theological and legal concerns, including the argument for the superiority of the Quran over Jewish and Christian scriptures due to its supposed perfect preservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14764,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"date_tournage":"","lieu":"","nature_evenement":"","vt_type":"Conf\u00e9rence","vt_yt_views":8476},"video_collection":[878],"class_list":["post-31109","videos","type-videos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","video_collection-conferences-et-colloques"],"date_tournage":"","yoast_head":"\n
