1 The Arabic title of the book (An-Nsikh -wal- Manskh, ) is a common title for a book that deals with abrogation in the Qur'an. 1. An-Nsikh -wal- Manskh (i.e. Abrogating & Abrogated), AbuJa'afar An-Nah'has, Beirut, 2003. 2. An-Nsikh -wal- Manskh (i.e. Abrogating & Abrogated), Ibn Al-'Araby Al-Ma'afiry, Beirut 2003. 3.Nawsikh Al-Qur'an (i.e. The Abrogating of the Qur'an), Ibn Al-Jauzy,Beirut 2002.

The historical background of the Qura'nic verses, which is called by Muslim theologians Asbb An-Nuzool (i.e Reasons & Occasions of Revelation), provides a basis to understand the rationale for thevarious views concerning abrogation. It answers the question why a verse is abrogated.

PREFACE.

Knowledge of abrogating and abrogated verses is essential and oneof the helps to the study of the Koran, and as it is a sealed subject to Indian Maulavies ingeneral with the exception of few great Arabic Scholars (Maulanas,) I have ventured towrite this book for the general information of my friends (Mohammadans as well asChristians.) I shall be highly obliged for constructive criticisms addressed to me.

In preparing this little work I have consulted.

1. Tafsir Jalalain with its marginal note by Abi Abdullah Mohammad binHazam, published by Al-Babi Al-Halabi and Brothers, Cairo.

2. Annasikh-wal-Mansukh by Abul Qasim, published by Hindia Press, Cairo.3. For English translation and names of suras, Rodwell's Koran. [The English

translation and names of the suras are from Yusuf Alitranslation]14. For the number of verses, Flgels' Arabic Koran. [The verse number in

brackets correspond to the verse number of the Cairo edition of the Quran.]2

My special thanks are due to Rev. W. H. T. Gairdner and Sheikh Iskandar AbdulMasihmy teachers, who have helped me by their suggestions, and corrections. But for

their help this work would never have come into existence.

Three kinds of Abrogation )( are to be found in connection with the Koran.

1. The words and orders both cancelled.2. Words were abrogated but orders remain.

3. Orders were cancelled but words remain.

Example of 1.

(a)Anas ibn Malik said "we used to read in time of Muhammad (peace upon him) inSura Tauba (IMMUNITY)."

(b)

. .Even if the man had two valleys full of gold he would have desired for the third

besides, and if he had the third he would have desired for the fourth, and nothing butearth can fill the stomach of man. And God forgiveth him who repents.

(b)

" : . .

. : .Abdullah bin Masud said "Muhammad taught me a verse and I got it by heart and

wrote it in my book. When I returned to my place I could not remember anything of it.Next morning when I opened my book, I found the page, on which it was written, white. Ireported the matter to Muhammad. He said to me.

"O Ibn Masud that verse has been taken up (back to God) yesterday."Example of 2.

" : . .

".Umar said "were I not afraid lest people should say that I have added to the KoranI would have recorded it (i.e. the verse of stoning.)" see Atqan vol. II p. 29.

Examples of 3.Are to be found in 63 suras, such as " Prayer towards Jerusalem" &c., &c. For its

detail the reader is referred to the body of this book.Suras may be divided into four classes:

ABROGATION IN THE KORAN

A. TABLE SHOWING

(1) Table of the abrogated verses, in their koranic order .

(2) The verses by which they are abrogated .

The first column throughout shows the Abrogated Verses, in the order in whichthey occur in the Koran. Opposite each verse is given the Abrogating verse, in the SecondColumn.

The Sword Verse (S 9 V. 5) occurs so frequently as an Abrogating Verse that it isquoted in full the first time only, afterwards giving the reference to it, without text.1

: ""

.[Since the Sword Verse, which is mentioned in Sura 9:5, abrogates many of the Qur'anicverses, we will cite this verse the first time, then we put the words "Sword Verse"

instead, to avoid redundancy. To facilitate the readers, we set forth the differences below.The exact verse (Muhkam, ) and abrogated verse (Manskh, ), and abrogatingverse (Nsikh, ) are given for every passage.]

1An-Nsikh -wal- Manskh, by Ibn Khuzyamh states 113 verses are abrogated by the Sword verse (9: 5),and 9 verses are abrogated by the Fighting verse (9: 29): "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last

Day."

1 The verse (2:219) answers to two questions:1. "about strong drink and games of chance." This is abrogated by (5:90).2. "And they ask thee what they ought to spend." This portion of the verse has no connection with intoxicants, but itanswers the question of early Muslims about how much they had to spend on charity. Muhammad ordered: "Say: thatwhich is superfluous" (Pickthal) or What is beyond your needs. (Yusuf Ali) After a while the "alms" were enjoined ormade obligatory. This is why some Muslim theologians say that this verse is abrogated regarding "alms." So, according tothis view, the verse (9:103) abrogating one.

A. (23: 5, 6): "Who abstain from sex, Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whomtheir right hands possess."

B. Others suppose, it is abrogated by (65:1): "O Prophet! When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribedperiods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods."

C. Some see, it abrogated by (4: 12): "In what your wives leave, your share is a half"
