Key Takeaways
- Oral Traditions: Islam mein zubani riwayat bohot ahmiyat rakhti hain aur un ki reliability chains of narration (isnad) se sabit hoti hai.
- Written Records: Birmingham aur Sana’a manuscripts Rasool Allah (SAW) ke zamane ke qareeb ke saboot hain.
- Scientific Evidence: Carbon dating ne in manuscripts ki tareekh confirm ki hai, jo 7th century se talluq rakhte hain.
- Non-Islamic Sources: 7th century ke Syriac aur Armenian texts Rasool Allah (SAW) ke wujood ki tasdeeq karte hain.
- Quran Compilation: Caliph Uthman (RA) ne Quran ko standardize kiya, jo aaj bhi wahi hai.
Aitraaz: Rasool Allah (SAW) Ke Zamane Mein Koi Written Record Nahi
Objection: Ek aam aitraaz yeh hai ke Rasool Allah (SAW) ke zamane, yaani 570-632 CE, tak koi written tareekhi record nahi milta. Kuch log kehte hain ke Abdul Malik bin Marwan (685-705 CE) ke daur tak koi saboot nahi, jo ke Rasool Allah (SAW) ke wafat ke 50 saal baad ka hai. Yeh aitraaz shak paida karta hai ke kya un ka wujood tareekhi tor par sabit hai ya nahi.
Yeh aitraaz aksar is ghalat fahmi par mabni hai ke written records hi tareekh ka ainay hote hain. Haqeeqat yeh hai ke us zamane mein oral traditions zyada ahmiyat rakhti thin, aur written records bhi mojood the, jo baad mein preserve hue. Hum aage dekheinge ke kaise yeh aitraaz ghalat hai aur saboot kya kehte hain.
Oral Traditions: Islam Mein Riwayat Ki Ahmiyat
Islam mein zubani riwayat (oral traditions) tareekh ka ek aham hissa hain. Rasool Allah (SAW) ne khud apni baaton aur Quran ko yaad karne ki talqeen ki. Sahaba karam ne un ki baaton ko yaad kiya aur Tabaeen tak pohanchaya. Is ke liye, chains of narration ya isnad ka system banaya gaya, jo har riwayat ki authenticity check karta hai.
Maslan, ek Hadith ke liye yeh dekha jata hai ke us ka narrator kaun tha, us ka character kaisa tha, aur us ne kis se suna. Yeh system itna mazboot tha ke aaj bhi Sahih Bukhari aur Sahih Muslim jaisi kitabein reliable maani jati hain. Yeh logical rigor dikhata hai ke Islam ne apni tareekh ko kitni ahmiyat di.
Misaal ke tor par, agar aap apne dada se koi kahani sunte hain aur woh kehte hain ke unhon ne apne baap se suni, to aap us par bharosa karte hain. Islam mein yeh process hazaron logon ke zariye hua, jo ek dosre se muttasil the. Is se oral traditions ki reliability sabit hoti hai.
Written Records: Birmingham Quran Manuscript
Birmingham Quran Manuscript: Yeh ek aham tareekhi dastavez hai jo University of Birmingham ke Mingana Collection ka hissa hai. 2015 mein is ki radiocarbon dating se pata chala ke yeh 568-645 CE ke darmiyan ka hai, jo Rasool Allah (SAW) ke daur (570-632 CE) se overlap karta hai. Is manuscript mein Surah Al-Kahf (18), Maryam (19), aur Taha (20) ke hisse hain, aur yeh Hijazi script mein likha gaya hai, jo us zamane ka common script tha.
Yeh manuscript dikhata hai ke Quran Rasool Allah (SAW) ke zamane mein hi likha ja raha tha. Is ki discovery ne duniya bhar ke scholars mein excitement paida ki, kyun ke yeh Islam ki shuruat ke qareeb ka saboot hai.
Sana’a Manuscript: 1972 mein Yemen ki Great Mosque of Sana’a ke restoration ke dauran yeh manuscript mila. Yeh ek palimpsest hai, yaani is par do bar likha gaya. Upper text standard Uthmanic Quran hai, jab ke lower text mein kuch variations hain, jo ultraviolet light se padhe gaye. Yeh bhi 7th century ka hai, jo Rasool Allah (SAW) ke daur ke qareeb hai.
Yeh variations minor hain, jaise wording ya order mein farq, lekin overall message wahi hai. Yeh dikhata hai ke shuru mein different readings thin, lekin standard version jaldi hi qaim ho gaya.

Quran Ki Compilation
Caliph Uthman bin Affan (RA) ne 644-656 CE mein Quran ko standardize kiya taake different dialects ki wajah se confusion na ho. Unhon ne ek committee banayi jo Sahaba ke hafiz-e-Quran se consult karke ek standard version tayyar kiya. Is version ko Uthmanic codex kaha jata hai, aur aaj ka Quran usi par mabni hai.
Sana’a manuscript ka upper text is Uthmanic version se match karta hai, jo is baat ki tasdeeq karta hai ke yeh standard jaldi hi qaim ho gaya tha. Rasool Allah (SAW) ne khud Quran ko likhwane aur yaad karne ke liye steps liye the, jaise hafiz banwana.
Yeh process dikhata hai ke Islam ne apne muqaddas text ko preserve karne ke liye kitni mehnat ki, jo ke tareekhi records ka ek aham hissa hai.
Non-Islamic Sources: Gair Muslim Mua’rikheen Ka Zikr
7th century ke non-Islamic sources bhi Rasool Allah (SAW) ka zikr karte hain, jo un ke wujood ki tasdeeq karte hain. Maslan:
- Syriac Chronicle (634 CE): Thomas the Presbyter ne likha: “On Friday, 4 February, 634 CE, at the ninth hour, there was a battle between the Romans and the Arabs of Maḥmet in Palestine twelve miles east of Gaza.” Yeh Rasool Allah (SAW) ke wafat ke do saal baad ka saboot hai.
- Armenian History (660 CE): Sebeos, ek Armenian bishop, ne Muhammad ko ek merchant ke tor par describe kiya jo Arabs ko monotheism sikhata tha aur Islamic conquests ko inspire kiya.
Yeh sources, bhale hi un mein details mukhtalif hon, Rasool Allah (SAW) ke wujood aur un ke asar ki tasdeeq karte hain. Yeh dikhata hai ke un ka naam aur teachings un ke zamane ke qareeb hi gair Muslim qomon tak pohanch gaye the.
Carbon Dating: Scientific Saboot
Carbon dating ek scientific method hai jo organic materials, jaise parchment, ki umar maloom karne ke liye istemal hoti hai. Is mein carbon-14 isotope ki decay rate measure ki jati hai. Birmingham manuscript ke liye, carbon dating ne 568-645 CE ki range di, jo Rasool Allah (SAW) ke daur se match karti hai.
Sana’a manuscript ke lower text ko bhi radiocarbon analysis se 671 CE se pehle ka bataya gaya hai, jo 7th century ke shuruat se talluq rakhta hai.
Limitations: Carbon dating exact date nahi deti, balki ek range deti hai. Lekin is case mein, yeh range itni qareeb hai ke yeh reliable hai. Yeh scientific saboot historical records ki tasdeeq karta hai.
Nateeja
Hum ne is article mein dekha ke Prophet Muhammad (SAW) ke tareekhi records bohot wazeh aur mazboot hain. Oral traditions ne Hadith aur Quran ko preserve kiya, jab ke Birmingham aur Sana’a manuscripts written saboot dete hain. Non-Islamic sources, jaise Syriac aur Armenian texts, un ke wujood ki tasdeeq karte hain. Carbon dating ne in manuscripts ki tareekh confirm ki, jo 7th century se talluq rakhte hain.
Tareekhdaan generally is baat par mutafiq hain ke Rasool Allah (SAW) ek haqeeqi shakhsiyat the, aur un ki zindagi ka basic framework tareekhi sabooton se sabit hai. Yeh article aap ke shukook door karta hai aur Islam ki tareekh par yaqeen dilata hai. Is maloomat ko doosron tak pohanchane ke liye is article ko share karein.
