Thanks Prasanna for this very useful timeline. I notice that
1) Quran was compiled thirce in 200 years
2) Muslims added many lies to Muhammad’s sayings that al-Bukhari had to reject more than 90% as lies
3) All four ‘righteous’ caliphs (at least three) were killed by co-religionist
History speaks volumes about Islam- it can be summarized in two words- lies and murders.
Muslims, wake up – your religion is founded by father of lies and murders- Satan.
It is said in Quran, “……And their(the Jews) saying:’ we killed the messiah, Jesus son of Mary,’but they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, rather it was made to seem that way to them…… They certainly did not kill him,[for], Allaah raised him up to himself.
Assuming the above to be correct, after reading this I felt what a cunning cheat is the god of Quran. God instead of telling the truth to humanity, behaved as a worldly man trying to cause an illusion and cheat the men present there at the time of crucification of the Lord Jesus Christ. This surely means that quran is not trustworthy for our salvation.
About the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, Muhammed was recorded to have said in sunan Abu Dawud, Vol 3, p. 1203, No. 4310 and authenticated in Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood, Vol. 3, p. 815-6, no. 3635
He will fight to establish Islaam and he will break the cross, kill the pig and cancel the Jizyah.
Can some muslim tell me why God has to kill the poor pig which He Himself created. Was it a mistake done by Him? What did the innocent animal do, and is it so powerful that Lord Jesus has to return to kill it.
Which cross will He break? Did not the One who gave the scriptures know that the physical cross has got no importance in the Bible. It is given importance only by the Roman Catholics. Is God so ignorant of the scriptures. Can such a ignorant God save the humanity?
The God of Muslims has no qualities of being a God.There are hundred of contradictions in the Quran itself.They commit murders as a decree to their God, can any muslim tell me which God can feel happy when his own creation is killed.There holy book calls them to kill innocent people.They are spreading their religion with the help of sword.The idea is they want to kill or convert all the non Muslims so that only Muslims can live alive on this earth and claim Islam the most peaceful religion. I am sorry to say Muslims are nothing but a lying hypocrites.They are morally and spiritually underdeveloped.
Islam really is a disease of the soul.
Any seeker of islam should read this.

Good work. Add these too:
Mohammed was poisoned to death. Muslims claim that a jewish lady did that… but the fact remains that mohammed died under suspicious circumstances and there was quarrel between Abu Bakr, Umar and Ali at that time.
Fatima was abused, beaten and burnt to death by Umar, later day Caliph within six months of mohammed’s death.
Dear All Cristians,
The original Quran which is complied during Utham period is still preserved in turkey Museum, Please take a look and comapre it to todays Quran, u will not find any difference in it. There is no difference in the Arabic Text of the Quran which is complied during Uthman period and todays world. You people are ignorant
1) Sammarkand and Topkapi MSS; Kufic and Ma’il Scripts:
In response, Muslims contend that they do have a number of these “Uthmanic recensions,” these original copies from the seventh century, still in their possession. There are two documents which do hold some credibility, and to which many Muslims refer. These are the Samarkand Manuscript, which is located in the Tashkent library, Uzbekistan (in the southern part of the former Soviet Union), and the Topkapi Manuscript, which can be found in the Topkapi Museum, in Istanbul, Turkey.
These two documents are indeed old, and there has been ample etymological analysis done on them by scriptologists, as well as experts in Arabic calligraphy to warrant their discussion. What most Muslims do not realize is that these two manuscripts are written in the Kufic Script, a script which according to modern Qur’anic manuscript experts, such as Martin Lings and Yasin Hamid Safadi, did not appear until late into the eighth century, and was not in use at all in Mecca and Medina in the seventh century (Lings & Safadi 1976:12-13,17; Gilchrist 1989:145-146; 152-153).
The reasons for this are quite simple. Consider: The Kufic script, properly known as al-Khatt al-Kufi, derives its name from the city of Kufa in Iraq (Lings & Safadi 1976:17). It would be rather odd for this script to have been adopted as the official script for the “mother of all books” as it is a script which had its origins in a city that had only been conquered by the Arabs a mere 10-14 years earlier.
It is important to note that the city of Kufa, which is in present day Iraq, was a city which would have been Sassanid or Persian before that time (637-8 A.D.). Thus, while Arabic would have been known there, it would not have been the predominant language, let alone the predominant script until much later.
We know in fact, that the Kufic script reached its perfection during the late eighth century (up to one hundred and fifty years after Muhammad’s death) and thereafter it became widely used throughout the Muslim world (Lings & Safadi 1976:12,17; Gilchrist 1989:145-146). This makes sense, since after 750 A.D. the Abbasids controlled Islam, and due to their Persian background were headquartered in the Kufa and Baghdad areas. They would thus have wanted their script to dominate. Having been themselves dominated by the Umayyads (who were based in Damascus) for around 100 years, it would now be quite understandable that an Arabic script which originated in their area of influence, such as the Kufic script would evolve into that which we find in these two documents mentioned here.
Therefore, it stands to reason that both the Topkapi and Samarkand Manuscripts, because they are written in the Kufic script, could not have been written earlier than 150 years after the Uthmanic Recension was supposedly compiled; at the earliest the late 700s or early 800s (Gilchrist 1989:144-147).

ASSALAMU ALYKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARKATUHU
PROVIDE THE AUTHENTIC SOURCE FOR THE ABOVE GIVEN TIMELINE
JAZAKALLAH
IMRAN 🙂
Grace, peace and salvation which are available only in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you all!
Dear Imran,
I would like to take the liberty to answer your request. I understand most of the dates or at least the years are documented at the online encyclopedia ‘Wikipedia’ website. If you got to their website you should be able to get the information you are looking for.
If you expect something else, then, please let me know what you mean by ‘authentic sources.’ I’ll try my best to help you with your request.
By the way, your name sounds familiar to me. A couple of years ago Jerry Thomas debated a Muslim whose name is also ‘Imran!’ Are you the same Imran or a different Imran? I am just curious.
Thanks,
Adil.
Religious fsiatnciam must end everywhere. Muslim, Christian. All forms of it.None of it has any place in our modern society. And your attempt to connect it to Obama’s speech is feeble.
