 | | The hadīths associated with the latter verse were mere inventions introduced to maintain the argument that naskh means to remove with specific reference to the wording of the verse. | | | The story of these verses can be read in (among other places) al-Wāqidī and al-Tabarī's recension of Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad, the Sīrat Rasul Allah, believed to date 120-130 years after the death of Muhammad. | | | Satan deceived Muhammad into reciting the verses by delivering them in the guise of the angel Gabriel |

| | Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses |
| | Whereas Muslims believe that the archangel Gabriel dictated God's verses to Muhammad, Mahound, in Rushdie's subversive version of the origins of the Qu'ran, exercises a form of telepathy by means of which he mesmerizes Gibreel into dictating what he (Mahound) needs from him. | | | Rushdie has said that the novel is an exploration of the "God-shaped hole" left in him after he had abandoned the "unarguable absolutes of religion" (Appignanesi 75). | | | Since Gibreel is responsible for uttering under Mahound's spell both the Satanic verses and their angelic rebuttal, the fictional discourse places him in a position to throw doubt on Mahound's claim that the first set of verses came from Satan: |

| | The grasping wife of Muhammad Sufyan in the main plot; the cruel, lascivious wife of Abu Simbel in the "satanic verses" plot. | | | Standing at the centre of the novel is a group of characters most of whom are British Muslims, or not particularly religious persons of Muslim background, struggling with just the sort of great problems that have arisen to surround the book, problems of hybridization and ghettoization, of reconciling the old and the new. | | | These are the taboos against which The Satanic Verses has transgressed (these and one other: I also tried to write about the place of women in Islamic society, and in the Koran). |

| | Then God cancelled what Satan had thus cast, and established his verses by telling him that he was like other prophets and messengers, and revealed: “Never did we send a messenger or a prophet before you but that when he recited (the Message) Satan cast words into his recitation (umniyyah). | | | Then, at a later date, the Prophet abrogated the verses and justified their withdrawal by saying that they were not a true revelation from Allah in the first place, but a prompting of the devil. | | | At the level of the classical Islamic narrative, the primary source for the incident of the Satanic Verses is the greatest, most renowned and voluminous early Muslim historian, chronicler, and Koran interpreter: Al-Tabari (died 923). |

| | Rushdie's Verses |
| | The numerous places in the novel in which God is referred to as an idea (111, 335, 500), by definition a mental construct, emphasizes this same point, that religion is a human invention. | | | Here, the novel is careful to distinguish between the genuine desire of individuals to make sense of the world as expressed through a existential yearning for metaphsyical answers and the collective mind of organized religion concerned as much with power and control as with the spirit. | | | All of these ideas come into play in the novel's treatment of the Islamic religion, of religion as cultural narrative, and of religion as human construction. |

| | The sources for the satanic verses, at-Tabari and Ibn Sa'd, are reputable Muslim sources for early Quranic commentary and Islamic history. | | | It can easily be gleaned from the story that the incident of reciting the 'Satanic' verses and the consequent prostration of the disbelievers in the Ka'bah happened after the first batch of Muslims had migrated to Abyssinia. | | | The verses of Surah al-Isra' (17:73-5) which were revealed, according to the story, to 'admonish' the Prophet |

| | He believed that the Islamic community was his to protect and, regardless of Rushdie’s claims, The Satanic Verses was an attack against that community. | | | The politicization of Islam was the impetus behind the novel, not a denunciation of the religion itself. | | | These verses, stricken from subsequent versions of the Quran, allowed for the worship of the three most popular female deities in the old, polytheistic Mecca, anathema to a monotheistic religion, especially given the Mohammedan conception of the place of women in Islam. |

| | The Satanic Verses - A critique |
| | The Satanic Verses, the controversial book by Salman Rushdie is overly insulting and offensive to the Muslims of the world and to the sacred religion of Islam. | | | Rushdie not only attempted to change it, he also insulted it as best described by the title of the novel, "Satanic Verses." Not only was the sacred book insulted, but also the most revered personality to step foot on this earth, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), was insulted in an abhorrent way. | | | The above was Rushdie’s version of the translation of the verse Muhammad (PBUH) recited. |

| | Alternative interpretations of these verses thereby holds that they were written by Muhammad to make his newly created faith more palatable to the masses, or that they were forged by polytheists to justify their continuing practice. | | | The Satanic Verses refers to a short passage of the Qur'an purported to have once existed by a small number of the historical records of Islam. | | | While the angel Jabril customarily told Muhammad to recite the sura revealed to him, Jabril then told him that the verses were actually a deception planted in his head from Satan, and they were therefore not the authentic word of Allah. |

| | Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie |
| | In "Satanic Verses", you are required to accept that the entire world, not just one character, is part of the fantasy. | | | Although I couldn't tell you what "Midnight's Children" or "The Tin Drum" were about, they did have a unity that "Satanic Verses" lacks. | | | And yet, the novel works very well if you do see them as a fantasy in the mind of Gibreel Farishta. |

| | A Review of "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie |
| | Her Mahound is tempted by Gibreel to cut a deal with the enemies of his embryonic faith and tolerate the worship of three of their goddesses alongside the one God. | | | His passages satirize a belief at the heart of Islam, that the Koran is the word of God revealed to Muhammed by the archangel Gabriel. | | | Gibreel later tells Mahound the idea came from Satan and the prophet orders acceptance of the rival deities to be stricken from the holy text. |

| | There were suggestions that The Satanic Verses be banned simply because of the large number of Moslems residing in the country who constituted a potential "fifth column." Many of these persons, though, especially of Iranian extraction, left their respective homelands to escape precisely the kind of censorship and religious meddling which was being proposed. | | | Forgotten, too, will be some of the other outrages against The Satanic Verses, perpetrated not by fanatics in the Middle East, but by social, political, and economic figures in the West. | | | The Vatican newspaper agreed with Islamic mullahs that The Satanic Verses was offensive and blasphemous and should not be read. |
