What? Umar may have also introduced the 1st QUR'AN?
So, not only is the 7th century Umar I referred to as Muhammad, he may have also introduced what became the Qur'an!
It does seem shocking but when you look at the epithets afforded Umar I of the 7th century, such as "ibn al-Khattab" (the Son of the Book), and "Al Farooq" (the Saviour), it stands to reason that later 8th century figures pointed to him as the one who may have introduced what then morphed into the Qur'an.
Mel points out that around 720 AD Leo III the Isaurian, debates Umar II, and in the debate remarks that the Qur'an was composed by 3 individuals: 1) Umar I, 2) Ali (Abu Turab), and 3) Salman (the Persian).
All of these are from the 7th century, which supports the Alawite tradition, and suggests that the Umar I of the 7th century had something to do with the creating of what became the Qur'an.
We also know that the material in the Qur'an was borrowed from earlier Christian Syro-Aramaic Hymns, according to research by Christoph Luxemberg, and Gunther Luling.
Even the names for this earliest book suggest it was borrowed:
1) It was first called "furqan", which means 'your salvation'.
2) Then in the 690s it was referred to as the "Book of Allah".
3) Then it was finally called the "Qur'an", which was derived from the earlier 7th century Aramaic word "Qeryana", or Bible stories.
Fay from Australia notes that the word "Farooq" means salvation, while the word "al Farooq" means the saviour, suggesting that this Umar I to whom this was directed was not only the saviour, but the "son of the Book" which means its author as well.
Isn't this 8th century material further proof that Umar I, who some called Muhammad, was also the one who introduced what later became the Qur'an?
