Because It Is from Other Than Allah, They Found Differences – Is It ‘And Whatever Little They Were Given’?
In the shadowy underbelly of Islamic claims to divine perfection, variant readings of the Quran expose the entire edifice as a colossal fraud—a satanic deception masquerading as holy writ. These variant readings, or qira’at in Arabic, aren’t innocent pronunciation quirks; they’re glaring contradictions in the supposedly unchanging word of Allah (we explore the different readings of the Quran in more detail). Traditional apologists wave them away with smug assurances of divine flexibility from seven prophetic ahruf, but let’s call the bluff: if this was truly from God, why the chaos? Why did companions of Muhammad himself peddle wildly different versions? The sneering dismissal—and whatever little they were given (alluding to Quran 11:17 or flimsy reinterpretations)—is a pathetic cope. It’s not little; it’s a textual apocalypse revealing human fabrication, political power plays, and satanic sleight-of-hand. We’ll shred this myth by zeroing in on Abdullah ibn Mas’ud’s explosive codex, proving once and for all that Islam’s perfect preservation is a diabolical lie.
The Damning Reality of Variant Readings in the Quran
Variant readings aren’t dusty academic footnotes—they’re the smoking gun dismantling Islam’s core dogma. Picture this: Muhammad dies in 632 CE, and his followers scatter like cockroaches, each clutching their private Qurans. Tribal squabbles erupt over recitations, threatening to fracture the newborn cult. Enter Caliph Uthman around 650 CE: he slaps together a standardized mushaf (consonantal skeleton), burns the rivals, and enforces uniformity at swordpoint (a chaotic process detailed in the history of the compilation of the Quran). But the stench of differences lingers. Oral traditions and hidden manuscripts survive, cataloged in tomes like Ibn al-Jazari’s Al-Nashr fi al-Qira’at al-‘Ashr (detailing 10 canonical readings) and Abd al-Latif al-Kitab’s Mu’jam al-Qira’at, which tally even shadh (irregular) outliers.
These variant readings butcher wording, grammar, pronunciation, and—crucially—meaning. They’re not superficial; they rewrite theology (another damning example involves verses on the male and female):
– Surah Al-Fatihah (1:4): One camp chants maliki yawmiddin (Owner of the Day of Judgment), another maliki yawmiddin (King of…). Which divine title is it, Allah? Pick one, or admit your word is a muddle.
– Surah Al-Baqarah (2:259): Nunshizuh (We raise him) vs. nufiqh (We quicken him). Resurrection or revival? Your eternal fate hangs on a vowel flip.
– Surah Al-Imran (3:133): Was’aw (hasten) vs. sari’u (run fast). Subtle? No—commands for salvation differ by a syllable.
Islam’s defenders bleat that all stem from Muhammad via Jibril in seven ahruf (dialects). Horseshit. Early sources scream human error: Ubayy ibn Ka’b’s codex added surahs like Al-Khal’, Ibn Abbas confessed 1,000 verses got axed or tweaked, and Aisha whined Uthman’s version missed chunks she memorized from her hubby. Uthman’s burning spree? A cover-up for the fraud. If Allah’s word is eternal, why torch evidence? These variant readings prove the Quran is a patchwork quilt stitched by illiterate Arabs, not dropped verbatim from heaven.
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud’s Variant Readings: The Companion Who Exposed the Scam
Enter Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, Muhammad’s poster-boy companion: Kufa’s top reciter, prayer leader, and self-proclaimed memorizer of 70 surahs straight from the prophet’s lips. This guy’s cred was ironclad—until Uthman shipped his mushaf. Ibn Mas’ud’s response? Legendary defiance: I learned seventy surahs from the Messenger of Allah’s mouth, and Uthman’s mushaf doesn’t have them all! He flat-out rejected it, clinging to his codex like a heretic lifeline.
Ibn Mas’ud’s variant readings aren’t tweaks—they’re torpedoes:
Omitted Surahs: No Mu’awwidhatayn in the Perfect Quran?
He axed Surahs 113 (Al-Falaq) and 114 (An-Nas) entirely—the daily protection charms pious Muslims drone today. Why? The Messenger didn’t write them in the mushaf, he said. Today, Muslims swear by them against jinn and evil eye. Omitting two whole chapters? That’s not little—that’s gutting core rituals. Satanic fraud alert: if these are Quranic, why did a top companion trash them? Divine amnesia?
Word-Level Gut-Punches That Rewrite Doctrine
– Surah Al-Baqarah (2:275): Uthman: Interest-eaters stand on Judgment Day like the standing of a devil (illa kam aqaamah al-shaytan). Ibn Mas’ud: Like one whom Satan touches with madness (ka alladhi yatakhassamu al-shaytan bi jununi). Demonic stance vs. psychotic breakdown. Punishment porn changes flavor—who’s possessed now?
– Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:89): Uthman: Expiate oaths by Allah and your Lord (ta’awwadu bi Allahi wa rabbika). Ibn Mas’ud: By Allah only—ditching your Lord. Blasphemous shortcut on atonement?
– Surah An-Nisa (4:12): Uthman spells out kalalah (distant kin) for inheritance. Ibn Mas’ud skips it, scrambling Sharia economics. Family fortunes pivot on his whim.
– Bonus horrors from Kitab al-Masahif (Ibn Abi Dawud): He read al-salihat as al-salihin (righteous women to righteous men), flipping gender salvation. In Al-Mu’jam fi Ma’rifat Qira’at (Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Khatib), more consonantal bombs like la taqrabuhu (do not approach it) vs. la taqrabanna (do not approach it ever).
These are imla’i shifts—rasm alterations—not diacritics. Documented, undeniable. Ibn Mas’ud taught thousands in Kufa with this Quran. If all codices were identical, why the rebellion? Ali burned his own version to dodge Uthman’s purge. Civil wars (fitnas) brewed over these variant readings. Islam’s unity? Built on bonfires and bayonets.
Why Variant Readings Persist: Satanic Sleight-of-Hand Exposed
Apologists peddle the ahruf myth: God gifted dialects for Arab tongues. Laughable. Hadith in Sahih Muslim has Muhammad eyeing Torah variants and sneering, Because it is from other than Allah, they found differences. Pot, kettle: Quran’s swarm of variant readings screams the same. Ibn Abbas: 1,000 abrogated verses. Aisha: Missing lines. Ubayy: Extra surahs. Over 30,000 variants across readings (per critical tallies)—affecting tawhid, fiqh, tafsir. Not little given by Jews/Christians—massive leaks from Muhammad’s fevered dreams, laundered by caliphs.
This isn’t enrichment; it’s entropy. A perfect God doesn’t outsource editing to Bedouins. It’s satanic: divide, confuse, conquer souls. Uthman’s mushaf? Political hack-job, favoring Meccan elite over Medinan holdouts. Today’s Hafs ‘an ‘Asim dominates 95% of Muslims, but Warsh in Africa flips mashiatuhu to mashi’atuhu (His will vs. they will). Which hell awaits the wrong reciter?

Beyond ‘Whatever Little’: Variant Readings Seal Islam’s Doom
Variant readings like Ibn Mas’ud’s obliterate the mirage of a flawless Quran. Omitted surahs, mutilated verses, doctrinal drift—these scream human hands, satanic whispers, not angelic dictation. Dismissing them as whatever little they were given is delusional gaslighting. Islam’s textual turmoil fueled assassins, schisms, and jihads—fruits of a fraudulent tree. Face facts: Muhammad’s revelation was a plagiarized, politicized mess, preserved only by tyranny. Dive into these sources; let variant readings shatter the spell. Seek truth beyond the cult—your soul depends on it.
