Present day islam is not true islam,because the very basis of islam is koran & present day of koran is only one of the several versions available at the time of Abu Bakr & his goons chose the present version assuming the the role of mohammed to perpetuate the mythical version of koran.Abu Bakr was caliph from 632-634. There are several incompatible traditions describing a collation during his reign.

1. 'Umar was worried that bits of the Koran would be lost after many Muslims were killed at the Battle of Yamama. Therefore he commissioned Zaid ibn Thabit to collect the Koran and write it down?
2. Or was it Abu Bakr's idea? Or maybe 'Ali's?
3. There are several other difficulties: Could this have been accomplished in only two years? The Muslims were fighting the Battle of Yamama (in Central Asia), why had these new converts memorised the Koran but the Arab converts had not? Why was this collation not an official codex but rather the private property of Hafsa?

It sounds like these traditions were invented to credit the popular Abu Bakr and (more significantly) to debit the much maligned 'Uthman.

The Collection of the Koran (pp. 12-13)

'Uthman was caliph from 644-656. He was asked for an official codex by one of his generals because the troops were fighting over which reading of the Koran was correct. Zaid was once again commissioned, with the help of three others. But%u2026

1. The Arabic of the Koran was not a dialect.
2. There are variations between the numbe
