Bible for literary qualities and pedagree
Quran for improving on the New Testament and making it consistent with the old
Guru Granth for iconoclastic doctrine that combines Sufism with Bhakti (ironic it would be literally worshipped by Sikhs later)
Writings of Baha’u’llah (provisional translations only, official are badly translated and biased) for being the most sensible contender for a successor to Islam, stick with his mystical writings if you just want more Sufi texts but don’t buy him being a prophet (the rest of his writings are just reforms of Muslim law and telling off random rulers of his time)
Urantia book for best to put you to sleep, somehow makes Alien gods seem boring. The Book of Mormon also has this distinction, but slightly more entertaining once you get over the bad fake KJV language

This is blatantly false, in Muslim majority countries they even have stuff like spelling bees, but instead it's tests of Quran memorization where the judges will ask for random passages and the child recites it from memory, or they ask really specific stuff like "the third surah which mentions marital law, what is its 20th ayah?" Those who memorize the entire Quran are called hafiz and highly respsected. Obviously not everyone can or does do it, but it's defintely widespread enough of a practice that I can only assume you're trying to call a bluff that doesn't exist.

All that being said, the tripfag's comparison is unfair and petty. Recitation of the Quran is easier than that of the NT because it has an almost melodic quality to it. It was literally designed for oral recitation. The NT on the other hand is raw prose in "low" Greek, and most of it is literally just letters Paul wrote to congregations about what they should and shouldn't be doing.

Missing the Gnostic texts. You get some extremely wild shit there.

Like, Genesis is part of the tradition, but then it is revealed that the Yahweh is actually an imperfect lesser aeon who was conceived of when Sophia, Wisdom, tried to fathom God, the Entirety, directly instead of through God's Forethought, the Barbelō, which reflects God into the Aeons.

All the Aeons are balanced by their antipodes in the Pleroma, the realm of eternal being, but Yahweh, who is actually the demiurge Yaldaboath, created our material world.

Souls are bits of the Pleroma trapped in material. Christ comes, with Sophia, to wake souls up to this.

Yaldaboath gets jealous of Adam and Eve's light and attempts to get it. Yaldabady doesn't know he actually isn't God. So he gang rapes Eve with his Archons, basically angels.

Eve gets pregnant from this and gives birth to Cain, the progenitor of mindless humans who follow only instinct and desire.

Cain kills Able, but Seth, the third son starts the line of humans with Spirit (the sons of Able have only psyche).

Then Norea, the daughter of Noah, fights with Yaldaboath and the Archons, who flood the Earth. I forget why, but she lights Noah's first Ark on fire. Then they try to gang rape her but she uses her esoteric knowledge of the Ogdoad to go into occultation.

Christ gave Eve the Fruit of Knowledge in the Garden also.

IDK, there is a LOT of other shit going on. Judas is the most beloved of the Apostles because he attainted Gnosis and realized the need to free Christ from its material body so that the Aeon could remain in our world but not of it.

The Gnostic texts conflict because "Gnostic" is a label like "Protestant," which covers Anglicans to Baptists to Mormons. Gnostics are even more diverse. But there is like 600 pages of these, much longer than the NT, and that's with them being hunted to extinction and us only having access to many within the last few decades.

The esoteric system the Gnostics developed lived on after them and went on to shape all sorts of Western esoterica, particularly Kabbalah (there were Jewish Gnostics too).

A call to prayer is not a verse from the Quran. It's always the same short recitation, which is repeated five times a day. It in no way helps people learn the Quran, which takes dedication and not passive listening of the call to prayer 5 times a day.

Probably the Lotus or Heart Sutra or some other sermon from the Buddhist canon, seeing how unfortunately popular these are with the artsy pseudo-intellectual California types.

NTA, Gnosticism is really interesting to me and it's probably what sparked my interest in religion (both academically and personally/spiritually). But he's absolutely right, and anyone thinking Gnosticism is true or even represents a unified school of thought is simply poorly informed about the topic. I'm not a Christian either, but there's a damn good reason the orthodoxy we're familiar with became firmly established, and it's because it actually sought to unify the believers in Christ and determine the most likely/agreeable doctrines. Gnostic "doctrine" is basically a catch-all term for the many varieties of schizobabble that got discarded by the mainstream catholic ("universal") movement because they were unironically no better than "citation? it was revealed to me in a dream."
That's a bit harsh, and there is some really moving and intriguing material in there, but it was always very fringe and none of it was reconcilable with other texts.

Literally? The Quran. Perfect verse and impeccable prose from start to finish hypothetically, the words of God. Obviously in Arabic so if you want something more universal then the Old and New Testaments, which the Quran relies on for continuity. If you have a varied lexicon then I’m sure there is kino to be found in all holy books, that’s why they’re still around

Yes, retard, it's a hadith. It is not part of the Quran and nobody memorizes the hadith collections. I'm not addressing whatever perverse lines of thought you're trying to follow by bringing up this one in particular, because this is a schizophrenic derailment of the orginal discussion which was about Quranic recitation. You think the hadith are part of the Quran, which makes you an embarassing ingoramus.

They have different words sure as a result of that, but that’s also based on limited but multiple traditions we see as all correct, we see each reading as originating from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and revealed, thus the Quran is a multidimensional work in terms of its meanings because the voice of
Allah, unlike ours, can speak that way

An example


Verse 1:4

ملك يوم الدين

Master of Doomsday

ملك can be head either Maalik (owner or master as in of a slave) or Malik (king). Maalik is the active participle of Malaka which is why Allah can be said to be owner of something not yet occurred while making sense grammatically. Owner is the preferred pronunciation because while king is a greater title for men, owner is the greater title for Allah here since it suggests owning reality itself. However the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited it both ways. This Sahih Hadith relates to the king reading

>Allah will take the whole earth and will roll up the heaven in His right hand and then will say, “I am King. Where are the kings of the earth?”

And in 40:16 of the Quran

>the day they sally forth, and naught of theirs is hidden from God. 'Whose is' the Kingdom today?' 'God's, the One, the Omnipotent.’
Arberry translation

The kasra (a dash under the last letter here كِ indicating a genitive declension) is ishba meaning pronounced long rather than short as usual, possibly because the next word begins with ي (y or long e).

Qurtubi says “Malik” being a noun describes Allah’s essence, “Maalik” being verbal describes His energies

يوم means day, here it refers not to a solar day but to a cosmic day which is described elsewhere as 50,000 years long

دين doom (older English sense of judgement like doomsday book original meaning of Doomsday as judgement day), using Arberry’s translation, is the word for judgement, debt, reckoning, and accounting and religion. When a Muslim says “the Deen” he means Islam. Therefore in Arabic judgement in court is innately connected to religion, this is partially why Qutb saw secularism as a religion because a system of law is part of religion, it’s a Deen.

Regarding Uthman رضي الله عنه the Quran was originally revealed in multiple Arabic dialects, yes. ‘Uthman رضي الله عنه reduced it to one, the Quraysh dialect. Why did he do this? Because Islam expanding through empire into non-Arab lands (remember no one outside Arabia spoke Arabic then), and people who were learning the Quran were picking up some parts in one dialect and others in another leading to recitations being a mixture of multiple dialects and confused converts thinking they learned something wrong etc. So ‘Uthman رضي الله عنه decided only the Qurayshi dialectic of Arabic would be used for Quran

The story is probably invented to make a disgraceful origin of the Moabites, not meant to glorify that sort of behavior, although we do have a similar tale in Ovid where Myrrha has sec with her father while he’s drunk and is impregnated with Adonis. However her agony in Ovid and hesitancy is a lot more accentuated and she determines to kill herself rather than seduce her father until, well, you know the story

If that were the case there would be no need to BURN the manuscripts since all the differences were merely dialect ones and all correct anyway according to YOU. He evidently did that because the readings were different and he didn't want them to be seen.

Even then, where are the copies uthman sent to the provinces? No one can find them to this day.

In addition, there are different Qurans TODAY. Why would there be any differences if uthman standardized the vocalization? For example in Surah 2:10, some versions say they lied, others say they were lied to. There are consonantal differences such as in surah 2:132. Again. Watch this video for the versions

He رضي الله عنه burned them because he proscribed them. A lot of Arabian Muslims did not support his decision proscribing them since they were all recited by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who said the Qur’an was revealed in seven dialects. If ‘Uthman رضي الله عنه didn’t make an active effort to stamp out any dialect of Quran other than Quraysh—his own dialect but he justified his choice by pointing out it was the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم native dialect —then they would definitely have persisted.

You are conflating different qiraat with different dialects. ‘Uthman رضي الله عنه banned the Quran from being recited in any dialect but Quraysh but the various qiraat were permitted by him and obviously had to be since harakat didn’t exist yet. I have addressed this الحمدلله before in the first part the post.
