The Satanic Verses is a term used in academic literature to refer to purported verses of the Quran which, according to some narratives, were once recited by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and taken to be a part of the Quran, but soon after denounced by the Prophet as having a Satanic origin and removed, leaving behind a strict monotheistic text. It became infamous because from a non-Muslim point of view, it would seem that the Prophet could not distinguish between what is Satanic and what is from God. Dr. Shabir Ally explains that the story doesn't arise from the most authentic narratives of the Prophet's life, and he shares John Burton's theory about how the story was concocted and why Muslims embraced it.
