23 years for a book?!?

Ok, I suppose he had more things on his mind then just letting someone write down what ever revelations he had.

If you check the number of pages... I can assure you most writers only take a year or 2 to write a book as large without contradicitng them selves....And more easy to read as well...

BTW? Jezus wasn't a prophet, he was a son of GOD... so please, to not offend Christians, refer to him as such.

Also to add, how do you know he never changed his mind? Certainly He would not let it be written when He changed his mind about something. But ok... For the sake of argument I'll not go deeper into that, yet.

I consider that Islam followers see Mohammed as a perfect man (who was illiterate). Still, whatever was written was not written by the hands of your prophet. And him being Illiterate prevents him to correct his writer's possible mistakes. And a small mistake can happen... Now people discuss about the meaning of 1 letter or two as it would change the translated text.

So... If Mohammed's follower accidently made a 'spelling' mistake... It would be set for all generations as not a spelling mistake by one of his trusthworthy followers but as word of ALLAH past through Mohammed and the Koran to all the world...

Imagine the consequence if this might be known... It would damage the "perfection" of the Koran...

Don't you agree?
