S 2:106 What we abrogate from a verse or cause it to be forgotten we bring better than it or the like of it. Have you not known that Allah is almighty?


Nowhere in this verse does it say that Allah's verses are abrogated or caused to be forgotten. If they're not Allah's verses, then whose might they be?


We read in S 22:52 And we did not send before you any messenger or prophet but when he desired the Devil threw into his desire, and Allah abrogates what the Devil throws then Allah establishes his verses. And Allah is learned, wise.


Allah abrogates the Devil's verses? So in S 2:106, does Allah abrogate some of Satan's words in verses and cause others to be forgotten, leaving some of the Satanic words there? Does Allah approve of some of the content, bringing better than they or similar? If Allah abrogates Satan's words, do they have the weight of Allah's?


The verb nasakha:


نَسَخَ (nasaḵa) I, non-past يَنْسَخُ‎‎ (yansaḵu)

  1. to abolish

  2. to delete

  3. to abrogate, to invalidate

  4. to repeal, to revoke, to withdraw

  5. to cancel

  6. to substitute, to replace

  7. to transcribe, to copy

One further thought: We bring?


Further reading: Regarding Abrogation
