[Quranic Reflection]: moon absorbed by the sun in the Quran: far future.

[GUBU]

You provided nothing in the post. Another important anecdote, more than 70 huffaz - Muslims who memorized the Qur'an - were martyred at the Battle of Yamama, Abu Bakr feared the Qur'an may be lost and ordered its collection.

THEREFORE, they clearly were relying on these Huffaz. This battle is the irrefutable proof that there was no written Qur'an before Uthman took over the mission of collecting it.

Sunni and Shia scholars generally believe that the Quran was written down in its entirety at the time of Muhammad's death.[citation needed] Muhammad's cousin Ibn Abbas describes the way in which the final version of the Quran was fixed: "the prophet recited the book before Gabriel every year in the month of Ramadan, and in the month in which he died he recited it before him twice."[18] It is believed that the term "reciting the Quran twice" means compiling all the Quranic revelations into a complete and final version. It is understood[citation needed] that toward the end of Muhammad's life a special act of revelation occurred in which a final and complete version of the Quran was created. The term 'recite', which is used here, is referring to the custom where a Quranic scholar recites the entire Quran from beginning to end a number of times before a senior scholar. According to this tradition the act of recital is being performed by Muhammad, with the angel Gabriel playing the role of superior authority.[19]

I enlarged the text for you.

What a bunch of fanatical religious apologists believe and what is true are two different things. Did you know that the islamic hierarchy supresses the fact that the quran in its current form didn't appear until the 9th century CE and that it's about as heavily edited as the bible is.

Their being astute military leaders also goes a long way to explaining the content of the text.  Anywho, magic book plugged along for awhile as a limited act in a mostly illiterate culture until those astute warlords managed to conquer their neighbors, capturing and enslaving the means of literary production.  It was then that magic book as an item really took off.

Primary islamic sources...150-300 years after the events described.

And to add to this, the contemporary sources which describe those who invaded out of Arabia to create what was later called the caliphate described them as being jewish. At least some of these sources are from jewish writers living in Jerusalem when it was captured.
