[edit] Discrepancy

"Additionally, all but 3 of these suras are Makkan suras (the exceptions are suras 2, 3, 13.)"

but according to the artcile for sura 13, it is a Makkan sura.

[edit] Bias

I removed the biased paragraph;

It is said that the letter A.L.M. are borrowed from Hinduism's A.U.M. Both are pronounced the same. Furthermore, the Hindus also begin their prayers with this chant and the mohamadhans at the time had borrowed this highly religious chat to validate and give legitimacy to their newly formed imperialist dogma.

As well as being completely unverified it's totally POV.

[edit] Hebrew

[edit] Muhammad-Baqir

I have read that the fifth Imam composed a commentary on the disconnected letters, and that he performed arithmetic on their numerical values; can anyone add to this? J S Ayer (talk) 14:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
