Things not said in the video:
Ahmadsquran3 says in his article(see above) that the first Surah 1 is patterned after the Lord's Prayer found in the NT. Once again Ahmadsquran3 needs to read the NT again. There are 7 verses in Surah 1, yet in Matthew chapter 6:9-13 we find that it is not 7 verses but actually 5. Also in Luke we have a SHORTER version of this prayer(only 3 verses.) So where does Ahmadsquran3 get this information from? HE IS JUST COUNTING LINES IN THE TEXT. He is ignoring the concept of VERSES and counting lines. So hence if he ONLY uses the Lord's prayer in Luke's gospel it is "7" lines, yet in Matthew's it is "11/12", depending the version. So this is how Ahmadsquran3 gets this insane concept that Muhammad was patterning Sura 1 after the Lord's Prayer. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Muhammad Asad on Surah 1:
"'The Opening' was one of earliest revelations bestowed upon the Prophet. Some authorities(for instance, 'Ali ibn ibi Talib' were even of the opinion that it was the first revelation; but this view is contradicted by authentic Traditions quoted by both Bukhari and Muslim, which unmisitakably, show that the first five verses of Surah 96 ("the Germ-Cell") constituted the beginning of revelation. It is probable, however, that where as the earlier revelations consisted of only a few verses each, "the opening" was the first Surah revealed to the Prophet in its entirety at one time; and this would explain the view held by Ali."
