Fourthly, the Qur'an never says it can be recited in seven or ten different ways. It only speaks of itself as one. Christ – The Life-Giver: More Quranic Proof that Jesus is Equal to Allah, Jesus Christ – The Eternal Refuge of Believers, The Messiah Jesus – More Than Human: Additional Quranic Proof for the Deity of Christ, Each of these qira'at has its own chain of narrators (isnad) like a hadith. and like hadiths, some qira'at are accepted while other rejected. We will now compare two Qur'ans with different qira'at.

Two Qur'an readers were famously tried for reciting unacceptable variants, Ibn Miqsam in 322/934 and Paul’s epistles were written in the interval 20-30 years after Jesus’ death. They are valuable historical documents, not least because they contain credal confessions which undoubtedly date to the first few decades of the Christian community. For Imam Hafs, the Basmalah was part of the revelation and the first verse of each sura, while for ImamThe Qur’an’s ‘Isa is not an historical figure. His identity and role as a prophet of Islam is based solely on supposed revelations to Muhammad over half a millennium after the Jesus of history lived and died.

same verse from these two Qur'ans. On some occasions the verse number differs because the two Qur'ans Ibn Abbas reported ... [Umar said] Allah sent Muhammad (saw) with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the verse of the Rajam (stoning for adultery) and we did recite this verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Apostle did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, "By Allah, we do not find the verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book", and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. ... And then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: "O people! Do not claim to be the offspring of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father." ( Sahih al-Bukhari 6830; vol 8, bk 82, no 817)

Sahih Muslim 1050 shows that entire suras have been forgotten after Muhammad's death. Sahih al-Bukhari 6830 shows two verses that had been forgotten. This led to the Qur'an being being recited differently after Muhammad's death. What does this have to do with the ten qira'at? By no means all prophecies referred to in the Bible became part of the Biblical text. The Bible consists of a wide variety of materials originally written for many different purposes, including letters, songs, love poetry, historical narratives, legal texts, proverbial wisdom as well as prophetic passages. These are regarded as inspired by God, but not dictated from a timeless heavenly book.
