Can you explain the concept of abrogation of verses in the Quran?
Haters of Islam today claim that peaceful verses that were revealed in Mecca were later abrogated by seemingly more militant verses in Medina. This claim is false and baseless. Let us shed light on abrogation: - Abrogation in the Quran occurred by the will of God and approval of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) while he was still alive. - Abrogation was part of revelation (or inspiration) from God to Prophet Mohammad. It is not up to any scholar to determine what should be abrogated. - Abrogation affected only few verses. - The verses that have been affected in each category of abrogation are known to Muslim scholars through the books of Hadith. The peaceful verses of Mecca have not been abrogated.
According to Egyptian Sheikh Abu Iss-haq Al-Huwaini, three categories of abrogation occurred: 1. Verses whose both mention in the Quran and injunctions were abrogated by God. This means such verses were revealed, but later excluded from Quran at the time of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) because new verses replaced them. Additionally, the injunctions of these verses were abrogated and became no longer valid or effective. 2. Verses whose mention in the Quran was abrogated, but their injunctions remain effective and effective. This means such verses were revealed, but later excluded from Quran at the time of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) because new verses replaced them. However, the injunctions of these verses remain valid and effective. 3. Verses whose mention in the Quran remains, but their injunctions were abrogated by God. This means such verses have remained included in the Quran by the will of God and approval of Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.), despite the fact that their injunctions were abrogated and became no longer valid or effective.
