Some Muslims think of the actual Koran as existing in heaven in the Arabic language, which is why they don't put much stock in translations. The Protestant Reformers did not go this far. The Koran is a single book, like "Ezechiel" or" Matthew." . The Bible is a collection of books , and Luther among others did not hesitate to revisit the canon. But Devout Muslims and certain Christian Fundamentalists each treat their respective Scriptures as literally the oracles of God, speaking through the mouth of the prophet. A devout Muslim treats his copy of the Koran as reverently as a devout orthodox treats a sacred Icon and treasures every word. The Haditha are authoritative but secondary.
I'm pretty sure that's a belief that's part of Islam itself, not just something some of them believe. The cloest Western analogy is probably the Jewish belief that God dictated the Torah to Moses letter-by-letter while he was on Mt. Sinai for fourty days.

Not really. The Hebrew canon and the Septuagint canon of the Old Testament both predate Christianity. Luther simply preferred the Hebrew canon.

Well... don't you?
The Hadith's are the source of the Qu'ran, not the other way around.. The peoples around the Jews sacrificed their children (infants) to Moloch and Aserath(his wife) by boiling them in oil.. and still do(by other means).. Moloch had many names depending upon the dialect.. You do know that "icon" means "idol" don't you..
The people around the Jews have always been into human sacrifice.. As sanquine as the Incas and as "demonic" too.. Even the Amalekites by custom(killed) and buried the first born(probably sacrificed to Moloch) in the foundation of the new house(hut) built for newweds, as a "blessing"...
Little wonder God ordered Isreal's King to kill all Amalekites includeing their domestic animals and cut down any tree that remained(for good measure, to make the point).. To remove this custom/tradition/obscene gesture from the land.. They didn't(a mistake) and were replaced by Muslims.. a different death cult..
Because if anything is true, Muslims are Amalekites, reborn expanded and morphed into worshippers of the Moon God.. Moloch and his wife(consort).. One name for this MoonGod (of old) was Aliallah.. World History would have taken a far more moral turn if Isreals Kings had wiped out the Moloch worshippers completely, not only the Amalekites but several other tribes as well.. Yes, including their farm animals and trees too.. all traces of their cultures..
Islam is a pox(a social disease) not only on the Jews but on mankind in general.. The Amalekites had several incestual "customs" which will not mentioned here.. too.. No doubt common among the Muslims of today.. Strange that child abuse is not only not reported but not even recorded in muslim countrys.. Why is that?.. Even Turkey the most westernized of Muslim countrys.. The Hadiths even reports the proper way to have sex with animals.. so that the meat from those animals can be Halal..
