The Quran [القرآن‎] romanized: al-Qurʼān, lit. 'the recitation', also romanized Qur'an or Koran.
Quran has 144 chapters, 6236 verses that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad [saw] through Angel Jibril around 7th century. incrementally over a period of some 23 years, beginning in the month of Ramadan, when Prophet Muhammad [saw] was 40 He was in Cave of Hira in Makkah. when Angel Jibril appeared to Prophet Muhammad [saw] in form of a man. He recited Surah Al-Alaq first verse.

Read with the name of your Lord who created (everything) - Surah No. 96 verse No. 1

and that was the first revelation of the Qur'an, it was began in 610 AD, over a period of 23 years. Meaning the first revelation of Qur'an last until the death of Prophet Muhammad [saw].
Although all surahs are revealed in Makkah and Medina only.

Proving that the Prophet PBUH did split the moon

Salam,
I have been wanting to make this post for a long time.
I saw a muslim sibling on reddit discussing with a non-muslim regarding the splitting of the moon. The non-muslim said that we muslims have no evidence nor historical records of the moon splitting and our muslim sibling replied with saying that we muslims don't truly believe that the moon was split, we believe that it is metaphorical and not literal.
I do not blame them, as they may not have come across substantial proof in order to refute the non-muslim.
For this reason, I wanted to show fellow muslims the top 4 (of what I call) evidence that the moon was split by the Prophet. But before that, context:
How did the Miracle of the Splitting of the Moon occur?
The miracle of the splitting of the moon occurred before the migration to Medina (2) upon the demands of the polytheists with the permission of God and it was shown by the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as narrated by many companions like Anas b. Malik (3), Hz. Ali, Huzayfa b. Yaman (4), Abdullah b. Mas’ud (5), Abdullah b. Abbas (6), Abdullah b. Umar (7), Abdullah b. Amr b. As (8), Jubayr b. Mut’im (9) (May Allah be pleased with all of them). (10)
Among Quraish polytheists, Walid b. Mughira, Abu Jahl. As b. Wail, As b. Hisham, Aswad b. Abdi Yaghus, Aswad b. Muttalib, Zama b. Aswad, Nadr b. Harith and others (11) said to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
“If you truly are a Prophet that has been appointed by Allah, then split the moon in half. Let it be in such a way that one half will appear over the Mount Abu Qubais and the other half will be seen over Mount Quayqian.”
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked: “If I do it, will you become Muslims?”
The polytheists answered: “Yes, we will.”
On the 14th night, when it was full moon, the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wanted Almighty Allah to give him the miracle which the polytheists demanded from him. (12)
When the Gabriel (AS) informed the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that God had accepted his prayer, he announced it to the Meccans. The polytheists witnessed the splitting of the moon on the 14th night. (13)
When Almighty God let the moon split in half, one half standing over Mount Abu Qubais and the other half over Mount Quayqian, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) shouted at Muslims:
“O Abu Salama b. Abdulasad! Arqam b. Abi’l Erqam! Bear witness! (14)
And to the polytheists, he said, “Bear witness! So and so! (15)
However, the polytheists said “This is one of the spells of Abu Kabsha’s Son.” (16) “The son of Abu Kabsha cast a spell on you!” (17) They said “Muhammad cast a spell on us!” (18)
Some of them also said:
“If Muhammad had cast a spell on us then (19), He couldn’t have cast a spell on everyone! (20) Let us ask the wayfarers who came from the surrounding areas (21) if they saw what we saw.” (21)
They asked the people who came from every everywhere. (22-23)
“Yes! We also did see the moon in that state! We saw the moon as split! They informed that the moon was split. Among the people who came from everywhere and seen the moon split, there was no one who had not informed them about it. (24)
However, the polytheists rejected to be Muslims and to believe by saying: “This is a prevalent magic!” (25), they said “Abu Talib’s orphan affected the sky with his spell!” (26).

Now onto the proofs
Proof no.4: NASA
This is one of my evidence but it does have its criticisms hence it is my no.4 evidence. Brothers and sisters I highly recommend you see through this sideshow as the evidence by NASA has a lot of information that I cannot do it justice by writing it in this post: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/huseinmhanna/did-prophet-muhammad-split-the-moon
https://youtu.be/fuoqAQM-WDE
https://youtu.be/xzsNyBbVfqY
According to muslim researchers, there are proofs of the splitting of the moon in pictures of the moon taken by NASA's missions.
After Apollo mission photographs were published of Rima Ariadaeus, the 300 km-long rift line on the surface of the Moon,[16] it was suggested by Muslims on some internet sites that this was result of the splitting mentioned in the Quran.
The surface of the moon is replete with long channels or grooves that continue to create unsolved puzzles and contradictions for geologists. Every traditional theory, when tested against photographic evidence, has failed. Planetary scientists often say that it was formed by molten lava and they draw comparisons to lava channels in Hawaii. But the differences between the two are so profound as to render such comparisons meaningless.
Rima Ariadaeus is the rille that is usually referred to as the scar of the split that happened as a miracle of the Prophet PBUH, show clearly that it's a relatively small scar on the face of the moon and doesn't extend across the length of the moon as one would expect.

In 2010, NASA scientist Brad Bailey was asked about this and replied "My recommendation is to not believe everything you read on the internet. Peer-reviewed papers are the only scientifically valid sources of information out there. No current scientific evidence reports that the Moon was split into two (or more) parts and then reassembled at any point in the past."

Does this mean the split never happen? Does that disprove the miracle?
Even though the pictures can not be used as a strong evidence of the miracle that happened in the 7th century A.D. yet there's still no conclusive explanation to the origins of the structures in question.
Proof no.3: Authenticated Hadiths

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The moon split when we were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it became two separate pieces. The Prophet said to us, “Bear witness. Bear witness.”
In another narration, Ibn Mas’ud said, “A piece was behind the mountain and another piece was below it.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4584, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2800 Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ انْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَارَ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَنَا اشْهَدُوا اشْهَدُوا وفي رواية أخرى قال ابن مسعود فَكَانَتْ فِلْقَةٌ وَرَاءَ الْجَبَلِ وَفِلْقَةٌ دُونَهُ 4584 صحيح البخاري كتاب تفسير القرآن سورة اقتربت الساعة باب وانشق القمر وإن يروا آية يعرضوا 2800 صحيح مسلم كتاب صفة القيامة والجنة والنار باب انشقاق القمر

https://abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2019/07/14/bear-witness-moon-split/

Muttafaqun Alayi: When the Hadith Masters use this term, it means that the Hadith in question is found in both books; Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim, on the authority of the same Sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu) even if there exists variation in the wording.

Authenticated hadiths are a good historical record as Al-Bukhari used rigorous means to verify and authenticate the hadiths. To us muslims, these are substantial pieces of record that prove the event of the moon splitting.
Proof no.2: Other historical records
The Mayans may have recorded the miracle!
https://web.archive.org/web/20111028081146/http://www.mayalords.org/restfldpersia.html

At the top of page 139 in the 1997 Maya Hieroglyphic Forum, the dot and bar numbers have been inserted as corrections for the tops of the other columns (missing in V and K's works). On the basis of the number sequences, the date of the first (and, what I am surmising, was the original change) is 9.9.9.16.0 or the Gregorian date of 9 February 623 (the Julian date calculated the 6th of February, that same year).
But, if one reads the Rabbit and the Mirror, one will see, that not only was the rabbit a new addition to the home of the moon goddess, but also the cosmic tree (probably the Milky Way) was new. Being held up to the mirror, the rabbit is shown where it was then (now) located, not how it was born. In agreement with that statement is vase K2772. It shows the same three women as in the so-called birth scene, but instead of a pregnant woman with two midwives, it shows that the palace of the moon is being shaken by a quake, indicated by the same "question mark" curls found in the ears of the split-faced moon rabbit and identified by Eric Thompson as a symbol of the Moon Goddess glyphs. This "quake" or catastrophe is well recorded world-wide, even in Peru as the Rebellion of the Artifacts.The rabbit arrives later to view, in the mirror, the new star arrangement of the skies
The rabbit replaced the monkey (possibly the old north star?) As the records of time and became a very important figure with the same split face of the moon, with a the same question mark curl in each ear. And later (K1491) where the rabbit waits for the monkey to finish his final work.

Edit: A brother has pointed out that the picture in the mayalords website doesn't resemble typical mayan hieroglyphs.

Upon further research, K1208 comes up in this appendix and this document shows other similar images. With K1208, I would recommend looking up K5166, K1398 and K1491.
K1208 also shows up here as a picture on a vase. At page 282, you can see the exact image as the one on the website.

Indians may have also seen the miracle too!

Of interest in relation to the moon splitting an Indian historical manuscript (India Office Library, London, manuscript #2807/152-173), which says that this incident was observed by the Indian king of Malibar, Chakrawati Farmas- was the starting point of Islam spreading to India. It was also mentioned in the book "Muhammad Rasulullah," by M. Hamidullah.
On a moon-lit night the Indian King Chakrawati, while walking on the rooftop of his palace along with the queen saw the moon suddenly splitting into two halves. Later he came to know through Arab traders that a prophet called Muhammad PBUH had wrought a miracle on that fateful night and sundered the moon before the crowd of dazed spectators.
Learning on inquiry that there was a prediction of the coming if a Messenger of God from Arabia, he appointed his son as regent and set out to meet him. He embraced Islam at the hand of the Prophet.
The king died on his way back to India but wrote letters to the local rulers of Malabar to "help construct mosques at Kodungallur and elsewhere". The rulers of Kerala honoured his wishes and built mosques in the early 7th century, one of them being Cheraman Malik Masjid at Kodungallur, said to be one of the oldest in the sub-continent.

Travellers from Syria and Yemen also witnessed the splitting of the moon that night!
Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (Al-Bukhari)

"The Makkan people requested Allah's messenger to show them a miracle, and so he showed them the splitting of the moon.
At this point, some of the wise men explained that magic could only affect the attendees whereas it cannot maintain influence on everybody in general. They waited for travellers who were coming back from their journeys. The pagans hurried up to the borders of Mecca in anticipation to meet the travellers.
When the first arrivals appeared, they asked them did you see anything extraordinary happened to the moon?
The travellers answered 'yes, on one night we saw the moon splitting into two parts which remained asunder for some time then reattached.'
Upon this statement, a number of the group believed while the rest remained pagans.

But I have heard people say, "this is hocus pocus, if Muhammad PBUH did split the moon, then why didnt the Europeans record it? After all, the Roman empire was still around. It's hard to believe that if the moon was split, why more people wouldn't record such phenomena"
This is easily explained with this case study:
At the beginning of the 20th century, people lived with the well-established idea of a static universe where the motion of stars never varies. This is probably due to Aristotle's teachings, stating that the sky is immutable, unlike Earth, which is perishable. This idea caused a historical anomaly:
in 1054, the Chinese noticed the appearance of new light in the sky, but no European document mentions it!
Yet it could be seen in full daylight and lasted for several weeks.
It was a supernova, that is, a dying star, the remnants of which can still be seen as the Crab Nebula. Predominant thought in Europe prevented people from accepting a phenomenon that so utterly contradicted the idea of an unchanging sky. A supernova is a very rare event, which can only be observed by the naked eye once a century. The most recent one dates back to 1987. So Aristotle was almost right in thinking that the sky was unchanging - on the scale of a human life at least.
This article can be found here: https://theconversation.com/einsteins-two-mistakes-139003
If the Europeans were unwilling to document a supernova in 1054, what makes you think they would be even more willing to document in the 7th century?
Subhan'Allah, we are now at our last proof of the splitting of the moon:
Proof no.1: The Qur'an
Almighty God mentions this miracle in the chapter of al-Qamar 1-5 as follows:
“The hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and The moon is cleft asunder.
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say "This is (but) transient magic."
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Mature wisdom― but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.” (27)
How does this show that the miracle occurred?
Well, the Quran is telling us that the moon was split, but the disbelievers said that it was magic.
Remember, this verse wasn't preached once, recorded and never preached again. The Prophet repeatedly preached this exact verse to his followers and the non-muslims for decades. The non-muslims never refuted this verse!
The people that aren't even muslims, the paganists, NEVER SAID THAT THE MOON WASN'T SPLIT!!!!!
Even Al-Tabari, the one who wrote down whatever rumour he heard, the one who wrote down about the rumours of the Satanic Verses, NEVER wrote down anywhere that the pagans did not see the moon split.
The pagans saw the moon split and said "oh, it's just MAGIC!"
Never did they say "huh? A split moon? Never occured. Fake news"
Subhan'Allah, the biggest proof of the moon splitting isn't even from the muslims, but the non-muslims. They are the ones who authenticated the verse by claiming Allah did not allow Muhammad PBUH to split the moon, Muhammad PBUH performed magic! They are the witnesses of the miracles!
Allahu Akbar! The Qur'an is the biggest miracle and historical record we have of the moon splitting!
The Holy Quran is a miracle by itself, and a book full of all sorts of miracles. We as muslims should wholeheartedly have faith in the Quran and not attempt to explain scientific miracles of the Quran in a way that does harm the credibility of the holy book.
There is no need to exaggerate certain evidences to make them fit some facts mentioned in the Quran.
Until recently, a lot of the scientific facts in the Quran were in contradiction with the scientific theories at the time. Yet this never meant that the science is right and the Quran was wrong.
In many cases, new discoveries proved the old theories wrong and the Quran right (like the expansion of the universe for example.)
In other cases, our interpretation of the Quranic verses was wrong.
Either way, as a Muslim, the Quran's credibility is above any doubt. So as Muslims, hold the Quran over your own beliefs as nothing is as perfect as the Holy Quran.
I hope you found this interesting. Insha'Allah these are enough proofs of the miracle.
Edit: I just want to clarify as people in the comments have rightfully brought up:

Thank you to all who have replied. I am grateful that you have taken the time to read this.
I just want to clarify, I intended to write this post mainly for my muslim brothers and sisters. This miracle is one of the miracles that is associated with the Prophet PBUH but I know that a lot of muslims may have a hard time believing in its authenticity.
If I could make non-muslims interested in the deen, that would be great Alhamdulillah. However, this post is not directed at non-muslims, hence I used a lot of islamic articles as my target audience was my fellow brothers and sisters.
Insha'Allah, what I call proofs may not be proofs for many, including muslims but for me, these are the reasons in why I believe that the moon splitting miracle is authentic and real.
Take care and have a great day, salam!

Not only that, but many people have asked and enquired about the historical records from other civilisations and its validity, as well as why I even included proof no.4 when NASA themselves have said that they don't believe the moon was split in the past. Here is a comment I made that will address these concerns:

“I, ah, gathered as much from the name of your company,” I responded.
“Yes”, he continued, totally unfazed, “We have been in operation for over 55 years. To deliver premium marble, we have our own quarries at Booshwah and Ikra, a state-of-the-art cutting and polishing facility at Blue Sail spread over 10.5 hectares with an excellent local and international distribution system. Driven by our core philosophy of quality and trust, we pride ourselves on delivering quality marble slabs, tiles, steps, raises, monuments a well as raw marble slabs and blocks using advanced technology in the capable hands of our expert engineers, experienced senior management, and a large workforce.”
“How nice”, I reply, “Nice copy you’re reading there. Any reason for the commercial?”
“Ah, yes, Doctor”, he continues, “As I said, we’ve been quarrying here for over 50 years. We like to think we have a good idea of both the geology and the geodynamics of or quarry’s rocks. We’ve had no problem extracting rectilinear blocks for decades, however recently, that situation has changed somewhat.”
“OK, I see.” I said, “Blocks not acting correctly, correct? They’re fracturing along planes never before encountered? Is that a fair assessment?”
“Correct, Doctor”, he ripostes, “It appears we have contacted the right person for this problem.”
“OK, so for years you’ve been able to extract nice, orthogonal blocks, but now…” I trailed off.
“Yes”, he notes, "In a quarry where you extract rocks for decorative stones you need to delicately extract these big rocks. We don't use explosives because that destroys the rock. [Ahem.] You need to remove a big block and take it to a factory for cutting and polishing. The blocks suddenly have taken to fracturing at unusual angles."
“I see”, I replied. “I think I’ve got this…”
It’s a common complaint from dimension stone quarries. The local geodynamic gradient has changed, there’s unloading in the quarry from the removal of the blocks or there’s some underlying, though subtle, tectonostructural shift that the quarry operators have neglected to note and take into account.
Just as a bit of an aside, these ‘marble’ quarries are unique. They’re formed of what is referred to as ‘exotic blocks’. The ‘exotic limestones of the Arabian Gulf’ (referred to as ‘exotics’) are Middle to Upper Permian and Upper Triassic age fossiliferous rubblized limestone.
The rocks do not extend far laterally but occur as isolated outcrops underlain by volcanic Early Permian to Lower Triassic rocks. They are mainly calcirudite made up of calcite-rich limestone debris accumulated on top of seamounts, i.e., on inactive volcanoes as atoll deposits. Detailed geological studies on the Hawasina group volcanic and metamorphic rocks and the Semail Ophiolite sequence denote the presence of these exotics in the Oman and Emirates Mountains.
The exotics are classified mainly as:

Permian and Triassic shallow-marine facies,

B. Deep-water facies: Permian-Triassic Jebel Qamar Facies and Triassic-Lower Jurassic megabreccias, and
iii. Upper Cretaceous oȫlitic limestone syntectonic-sediment facies.
The shallow-marine facies exotics of Middle-Upper Permian are massive gray composed exclusively of coral-algal boundstones with varying amounts of bryozoan, stromatoporoid, and skeletal fragments, including brachiopods, gastropods, and echinoderm plates. They are typically less than 100 m thick (rarely exceed 200 m). The exotics of Permian age are limited to a thickness of 200 m while the Upper Triassic exotics have a thickness of almost 1000 m.
By the strictest definition, they are not true ‘marble’, which is dynamothermally altered limestone or dolomite. However, the term is utilized commercially here for years and has come to be an accepted bit of nomenclature.
Anyways, in such bodies of carbonates, they respond outwardly to the stress regime of their emplacement as well as their deposition. Often, these two stress fields are widely different and leach leaves its own strain-resultant features on the rock.
Typically, there are three principal axes of stress, which give rise to three different principal joint, fracture, or failure modes and directions. These are denoted as sigma 1, sigma 2, and sigma 3 (σ^1, σ² & σ^3); with sigma one being the dominant failure axis, sigma two the second, and so on.
These axes generate a number of differing failure-related features: faults, fractures, joints, and fissures. Faults have relative motion, that is left-right, up-down or oblique-oblique (side to side). The rest are in situ breaks or zones of weakness that do not have much relative motion other than openings.
It is key to quarrying to exploit these features. The rocks will fracture indefinite and predictable patterns once the stress fields have been sussed out. That’s why they could get by without explosives previously. But with the now changed stress fields, they’re going to have to possibly up their game as it appears the stress fields are more randomly oriented. They will have to utilize more hydraulic horsepower, or chemical detonic horsepower, per ton to harvest unfractured and intact blocks.
Now, I think I’ve got the idea why he’s called.
“So”, I continue, “Your blocks have been fracturing and shattering in weird and unusual patterns, right?”
“That’s right”, he replies, “It’s a recent manifestation. We are at a loss as to the reasons why.”
“Have you had any geologists map the quarry as it now stands?” I ask
“Well”, he replies, “We don’t have any geologists on the payroll. We’ve had some university geologists and students out here doing some mapping, but they are typically looking at other parameters of the quarry other than its commerciality.”
“That makes sense”, I note, “Well, Mr. Usman, looks like you need to hire a really crackerjack sedimentologist and structural geologist to come out and help you determine what’s changed. Then you figure out a plan of attack to exploit these new features you’re seeing in your operations.”
“Ah, yes, precisely”, he replies, “That is the reason for my call today.”
“But I called you”, I replied, half in jest.
“Yes, indeed’, he notes, “So, Doctor, do you think you could help us out in this matter?”
“Oh, most assuredly.”, I reply, “But first, there is a small matter of my compensation. I must warn you, as of late, my contract must include certain benefits such as medical insurance and hospitalization.” I reply winching at my mending ribs as I reached for my latest liquoriferous libation.
“That will present no problem”, he says, “What must we do to have you come here to help us?”
“OK, First, I need to speak with my General Manager. After that, if all is still ‘go’, I will send you my custom-made contract. It will include transport, of course, as well as my compensation and, ah, other considerations.”
“Excellent”, he replies, “Please send your contract to [email protected] and we’ll proceed with all haste.”
“Sounds like a plan, Mr. Usman” I note, “Expect a reply here in the near term.”
We exchange pleasantries and disconnect.
“ES!” I shout, “Need to pack. Got me a new job!”
“Maybe you do, maybe you don’t”, Esme icily replies. “You’re not even healed up from that last go-round. Sit. Speak”.
“Oh, my dear”, I reply as unctuously as a melted Turtle Sundae running down the rear-speaker deck of that ’58 Chevy you’ve just restored, “It’s nothing like that. Simple quarry mapping job. Map some fractures, figure out stress fields, give them a new operational protocol, bank the proceeds.”
“Where this time? Mozambique? Outer Slobbovia? Northeastern Wherethefuckistan?” she asks icily.
“Nope.”, I reply triumphantly, “Here in the Emirates. About 90 clicks due north.”
“Really?”, her guard begins to lower slightly.
“Yep”, I reply, “Exotic block ‘marble’ quarry. Their blocks are suddenly acting all wonky and they can’t figure out why.”
“That’s elementary geology”, Esme states, “Real Geology 101 stuff.”
“I know, I know”, I reply, “But they’re desperate and have no geologist on-site. Easy money. Walk in the park. Piece of pie. Easy as cake…”
“Well…OK…I guess if it’s just a mapping job.” She says.
“Thank you, m’dear”, I reply and give her a tight hug, from which I wince.
Bloody ribs.
“I’ll be careful. It’ll be safe as houses. What could possibly go wrong on such a simple job?”
“Oh, knowing you”, Es remarks, “You’ll find ways to make it interesting and potentially life-threatening.”
“You know me too well”, I say, give her a quick kiss and head to the laptop to gin up a new, custom-built contract.
I decide it’ll take a couple of days, at best, to sort out this little problem. I send off my new contract, and within three hours, I have a signed copy sitting on my desk.
“They must really be desperate” I chuckle to Esme. “Look at this. Door-to-door, take-or-pay, triple-pay force majeure and they didn’t bat an eyelash at my per diem.”
“Very nice”, Esme says, visions of shopping sprees dancing in her head. “Now, how are you going to get there and back? Rental car?”
“Nope”, I replied, “That ball’s in their court. I figure they’ll either send a driver or have me hire one here on their nickel. I’m certainly not driving with these cranky ribs, especially in even this COVID-ly reduced Dubai traffic”
Three hours later, I’m standing on the helipad of the hospital that’s conveniently located just a few doors down from our hotel. The quarry owners must have some wasta as they wrangled their OK for landing a company helicopter on the hospital helipad.
It sometimes amazes me how things work out here in Sand Land…
The quarry time-shares a helicopter with other marble and copper operators in the region. I guess it saves time when mucking about the jagged and disorderly mountains out in their neck of the woods.
I have my vest, science kit, very cool Red Adair-style hardhat, Ray-Bans, and one luggage case. I have another case with my scientific devices: Brunton Compass, theodolite, tripod, cameras, lenses, sat phone, and the like.
I also have my flasks and cigars packed.
Of course. There’s work to be done. This might be a dry location.
Right on time, a Bell 206B Jet Ranger III flares out of the midafternoon murk and lands lightly on the helipad. I wait until the rotorcraft spools down before I make my way over. In fact, I’m waiting until someone comes out and grabs my Haliburton case. Remember, I’m still nursing a triplet of busted ribs from my last little adventure.
One of the more expendable quarry workers scurries over and grabs my luggage. He bids me to follow him to the helicopter.
Once seated, headphoned-in, and comfy, we spool up to 110% and are airborne.
I ask the pilot how long we’ll be flying and he replies that it should only be about a half-hour, 45 minutes max; three weeks at the outside...
A funny pilot. Just what I need right now.
Hell, if that’s the case, I’ll fly ‘home’ each night and have them pick me up in the mornings.
Just like if I had a real job…
Over coffee and sandwiches in the field office, I am thinking “Great, here we go again”, I am given the lowdown on the operation.
Just as surmised, they opened a new, structurally higher portion of the quarry. Things have changed dramatically: carbonate facies are changed, the depositional environment is different, adjunct mineralization has transformed, the structural regime is new and to them, intractable.
“OK, gents”, I said as I stood to stretch out a bit, “I need a tour of the quarry. I’m not keen on walking, I saw an open jeep outside. I need to commandeer that and a driver.”
“Not a problem, Doctor.”, Mr. Usman states, “We’re so glad you are here. Can-do American no-nonsense get-right-down-to-business attitude.”
In this part of the world, that can be classified as a superpower.
My driver is a local, one Bassil al-Momin. He’s worked at this quarry for over 25 years and if anyone has an idea of what’s going on, he’d be the one.
We pile into the jeep and I admonish him to take it easy. The floor of the quarry is flat as a pool table, but getting to the quarry requires some serious four-wheeling due to all the waste rock and rubbish piles of fractured marble discarded from operations.
Bassil is not only a good driver, he’s fairly knowledgeable on the local geology. He gives me a play-by-play as he notes how the lower quarry reaches produce nifty rectilinear blocks and the upper quarry branches produce more gravel than blocks.
The upper quarry is where we’re headed. It’s a general mess with busted exotic blocks littering the area higgledy-piggledy.
“What a mess.” I snort, “You’re telling me they don’t use explosives? I asked.
The place looks like an A-10 Warthog target-practice range.
“No, Doctor”, Bassil replies, “Ever since we’ve opened this new area of the quarry, the rocks have been acting most unsystematically. They are breaking in ways we’ve not seen here in over 5 decades of operations.
“Yeah”, I think, “He’s a company man.”
We wheel up close to the latest workings. There’s so much broken marble and cobbled calcium carbonate around, it’s obscuring the contacts. Hard to tell what’s going on when you’re unable to see the forest for the trees, as it were.
“Damn”, I say, “Can’t tell a thing with all this rubble lying around.”
I kick at some jumbled hunks of marbleized limestone, with just a hint of dolomite.
“Need to clear some of this stuff away…” I muse to no one in particular.
As we round the corner, there sits a rusty, beat up, obviously working D-6 caterpillar bulldozer.
“Hey, Bassil”, I say, “That Cat up and running?”
“Yes, sir”, he replies, “But our operators are all back at base…why are you smiling like that?”
“Oh, nothing”, I say. “Keys in the thing?”
Yes”, he replies, “No one hereabouts but company personnel.”
“I see”, I said, “You don’t have any objections to me firing it up to clear away some of this clutter, do you?”
“Are you licensed?” he asks.
“Most assuredly”, I reply, I’m an old Cat-skinner from way back. Usually D-9’s or D-10’s, but the principle is the same.”
“I have no objection”, he replies.
I’m up, painfully, into the driver’s seat. Give the keys a twist, pump the throttle a bit and the old machine belches a column of black smoke, coughs, sputters, and roars to life.
“Easy peasy”, I think. I check it over to see that the area’s clear, drop it into granny low, raise the blade, and back it up about 5 meters.
Thus clear, I shift to forward and ease the throttle ahead.
I hadn’t gone 10 meters when there’s this swarthy looking gentleman standing in my way, screaming something to me.
“What?” I yelled back as I slowed even further, waving him off.
“GET…OFF…MY…MACHINE!” He yells.
“Sorry, mate”, I yell back, “Can’t hear you. Get the fuck out of the way.”
He dances from one foot to the other and is most agitated.
I slow to a stop and turn to look, but he’s gone, running flat out towards the Cat.
He makes a gazelle-like leap and jumps up on the machine. He’s screaming about me driving “his” machine and that I need to shut it down and get off immediately.
“Sorry, mate.” I say, “I’m the new hookin’ bull here. I need to borrow ‘your’ Cat for about 10 minutes. Now get off before you fall off.”
He is going absolutely crimson. Once past that, he’s gone to violent violet. Then to plaid.
He’s that pissed.
He pulls a large Gurkha-style knife and brandishes it in my general direction; making all sorts of unintelligible, though obviously annoyed, noises.
He’s huffing and puffing as he swings that pig-sticker of his to and fro.
Then he goes almost catatonic. He seems terrified, but much more focused.
As he stares down the Holland Tunnel of the bore of a bespoke 10 millimeter Sig Sauer.
“Now, now”, I tut, “Let’s be all calm and gentlemanly, shall we?”
He slides the knife back into its home as I shut down the Cat.
“Now then”, I say, as I stand, “That’s much better. I think we need a quick talk. Now get off this machine and stand there by the blade whilst I dismount.”
Sig still in hand, but lowered, I walk to the blade of the contraption and ask the gentleman exactly what seems to be his problem.
“Look you goofy sumbitch”, I holler, “You always pull knives on Doctors of Geology your company hires to get you back into production?”
He looked a bit perplexed. Dumbfounded. Confused.
“I’m Dr. Rocknocker. You can call me ‘Rock’, “ I say, “I was hired by your bosses to come down here and fix your little problems. So you can get back to production. I’m the hookin’ bull here, Scooter. In fact, I’m the Motherfucking Pro from Dover, you savvy? And you have the temerity, the unmitigated gall to pull a knife on me?”
“You’re Doctor Rock?” he asks.
“I do believe I just alluded to that fact”, I reply, holstering the Sig.
“A thousand pardons”, Amir Reza Abedi says, as that was his name, “I didn’t know you knew how to drive a tractor. Bassil did not tell us.”
“So you took things into your own hands and jumped the Cat to gut the guy driving?” I said, “Not a terribly clever way of conducting business, is it?”
“Amir apologizes”, he says, “But that is my machine. I am its driver.”
“Not anymore.” I reply, “For just a half-hour, I need to borrow it so I can tell what’s going on around here. We green?”
Amir was green, but not in agreement. His limited capacity just told him he almost became room temperature due to an egregious mistake.
“OK, let’s forget all this, “ I said, “I’m taking the Cat and do a little dozing. I won’t hurt it, in fact, I’ve probably been driving one of these things longer than you’ve been breathing air. OK?”
“Oh, most certainly”, he agrees. He sees my open vest and both my new little Rack and Ruin supplied noisemakers.
”For snakes”, I chuckled. “No harm, no foul. Just ask me next time. No gutting necessary.”
Back on the Cat, it took about 15 minutes to doze piles of rubble out of the way and dipping the blade, I was able to expose the contact between this new piece of geodynamics and the underlying strata.
The problem became immediately obvious. This wasn’t going to be a place of extracting anything other than road metal and railroad ballast. The fractures and drainages I saw in the rocks noted that most clearly.
Back at home base, I told the quarry operators of my discoveries. I told them that I needed about 2-3 days of field mapping and I could give them more definitive answers.
I had an ace or two up my sleeve.
They agreed, and I flew back to the hospital next to the hotel. I told the pilot I wanted to be skids-up at 0600 the next day. The next few days in fact. I could grind this out in two good field days and one good write-up day.
Over dinner, Esme was pleased that the job was going to be short, and profitable. She was also pleased that I’d be home after work just like any other 9-5 schlub.
“Just don’t insist on flying, please”, Es exhorted me. “Let their pilots do all the stick and rudder work.”
Spoilsport.
However, I agreed.
So, for the next couple of days, I trooped around the quarry, measuring this and delimiting that. I asked if they had some Primacord and C-4 lying around. They said they did not, but since I was licensed, I could make a requisition, and it would be fulfilled.
I had determined that the new part of the quarry they opened was never going to amount to anything, dimension-stone wise. However, it wasn’t all a total loss.
We’ll see that in a few.
I figured out the stress directions and noted that if they opened the area to the northeast, they’d be wading in gravy once again. They had gone to the southwest and discovered something else, something unique, something wonderful.
Out in the field, I had wired the southeast portion of the new quarry to blast some of the standing and offending rock. I decided that being an inveterate showman, I had to get them all out there to witness the unveiling.
That was after I did a small amount of blasting in the northeast part of the new, new quarry. Blocks of nicely rectilinear marble, just like in the quarry proper.
I wasted some orange spray paint, laid out the fracture and joint patterns, along with the conjugate joint patterns. Then I set some small charges and demonstrated how explosives can and will yield nicely freed orthogonal blocks, just if you have someone who knows what he’s doing.
They were thrilled.
Then we went back down to the southwestern portion of the quarry. It was wired and ready to be fired. I gave them a real show, with three-part harmony in the language of my people…
CLEAR NORTH and so on.
FIRE IN THE HOLE!
“Gents, you might want to cover your ears,” I said.
“HIT IT!”
KA-BLAMM-OOO-WHAMO!
When the dust and debris settled, there was an open portal into the very heart of some of the prettiest exotic marble anyone’s ever seen.
It was the opening to a cavern, complete with all sorts of nifty speleothems like curtain rock, flowstones, cave pearls, cave bacon, stalagmites, stalactites, helictites…a veritable spelunking sinkhole smorgasbord.
My spelunking days are long over, so I had no idea how extensive this little cavern was. I do know of its genesis and it’s one of the few found in the Exotic blocks here or afield.
“Gents’, “I said with a flourish, “Here you go. Another money-maker. Your very own cave system. Get with the universities, they’ll go nuts to map it for you, free of charge. Then turn it into a tourist attraction. You’re not so far from Dubai to siphon off some of that tourist dough.”
They were enthralled.
Back at the base office, there were cigars, toasts, and even a few EtOH-laden libations.
I mean, money is money, right?
I received a nice primary check for 5 days of work. I received an even nicer bonus for finding and opening the cave for them. Already, there were several local university geology departments clamoring to be first in to map the thing.
I almost talked the pilot into letting me fly back to the hospital helipad. Damn, but I had a bit of the wet stuff, and by law, I couldn’t. Would have been nice, though.
Which I find to be a fitting conclusion to the Rocknocker and Esme saga in the Middle East. I sent Es on ahead as I wrangled a ride back to the Sultanate. I’ve already had the movers in to give a preliminary idea of the cost to ship our stuff back to the states.
If all goes to plan, and when the hell does that ever happen around here? We should be out of the Middle East, for good, within a week. I need to oversee the packing and shipping and somehow wrangle a flight out of here to London, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt.
After that, I’m USA bound.
So that, my friends, is that. The end of an era and the next time we meet, it’ll be with me and Esme back in the US at our new northern digs. So, I’ll be out of pocket for a while.
I’ll drop by on occasion but there’s going to be a hiatus in Rocknocker stories for a while.
However, fear not.
There are still many tales for Demolition Days and I’m certain the shift 13,500 kilometers west will engender its own Obligatory Filler Material sagas.
Until then: Shiny side up, greasy side down.
Catch you all on the flip-flop.
Dr. Rocknocker signing out for now. Back in a bit with some new stories, new gripes, and new tales from the bar side.

A detailed explainer “Why Quran and not Hadith?” Part II

... Continued from part I
Allow me to add my FB friend Hussam Abdelrahman's arguments negating this false claim:
"IF THE QURAN HAD BEEN TRANSMITTED AND COMPILED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE AHADITH

There would be an alleged ‘sanad’ (support) or an 'isnad' (supporting) with every Quranic verse.
The Quranic verses would have been arguably collected by fallible compilers representing a completely different sectarian, socio-political milieu, centuries after the death of the prophet.
The compilers would have allegedly traveled many miles to other individuals who had never met the prophet but claimed they possessed isolated Quranic verses based on hearsay, allegedly passed on to them through numerous generations through primarily oral tradition.
The majority, if not all the Quranic verses would be based on what one companion had heard and not corroborated by any other.
Different students of the later compilers would have captured different variants of the Quranic verses and argued over its veracity.
The Quranic verses would have been canonized much later into a recognized corpus arguably after the death of the initial fallible compilers.
There would arguably been a classification of Quranic verses such as 'Sahih' (sound) verses, 'Hasan' (good) verses, 'Da'if' (weak) verses and 'Maudu' (fabricated / forged) verses.
There would have arguably been disagreements of the links of isnad of the Quranic verses and terms such as 'Musnad' (supported), 'Muttasil' (continuous), 'Munqati' (broken), 'Mu'allaq' (hanging), 'Mu'dal' (perplexing) and 'mursal' (hurried) would have been applied to them.
There would have been vociferous exchanges and disagreements regarding the reliability and trustworthiness of the reporters of the Quranic verses.
There would arguably be ‘sectarian’ Quranic Books with different compilations and verses.
There would have been raging debates of the authenticity of the Quranic verses and the corpus throughout Muslim history.

Thank God the Quran was NEITHER transmitted NOR compiled in the same manner as Ahadith"
The myth of the Consensus of the scholars
When everything else fails, out comes the so-called consensus of the "scholars". Reality check again, the scholars have not even agreed upon what constitutes consensus let alone formed one about anything for that matter.
A quick reminder to how the five schools view consensus.

Hanafi: Through public agreement of Islamic jurists
Shafi: Through agreement of the entire community and public at large,
Maliki: Through agreement amongst the residents of Medina only
Hanbali: Through agreement and practice of Muhammad's Companions only (there is still no consensus on what constitutes a sahaba)
Usuli: Only the consensus of the ulama while the messenger of God was alive or Shia Imams

Don't you think they should first sort this core issue before claiming consensus? No less than the death for blasphemy, is based not on the Quran and not even on the Hadith but on this mythical consensus. In essence, they have illegally awarded themselves the right to kill another human being. Imagine that!
The Abrogation falsehood
The last trick up their sleeve is a late addition, abrogation. A notion so thoroughly refuted that it is not worth wasting time on. Let us just say that straightforward verses of the Quran are stripped of context and twisted to mean that some verse and in extreme cases some Hadith actually abrogates some other verse of the Quran. In typical fashion, the estimates of abrogated verse range from seven to several hundred. This one fact is enough to put this mischievous notion to one side.
The nonsense of abrogation was exposed by upright scholars throughout history and one of the earliest oppositions can be traced back to Abu Muslim Al-Asfahani, followed by Ibn Rushd and the Ibn Khaldun and many more. Among the modern scholars Mohammad Asad, Ahmed Subhy Mansour, Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq and Shabbir Ahmed are often cited.
Shahada (شَهِدَ ) of the Hypocrites
Before moving to the positive, allow me to touch on something that will surely disturb a lot of you but it is necessary because it is a perfect illustration of how far we have deviated from the message of God.
The question is: How did the non-Quranic but popular Shahada find its way into Islam?
Below are the verses where the word (شَهِدَ) is used in the context of testifying. In twelve out of thirteen it had nothing to do with the Shahada of the sectarians, and in the thirteenth, this is what God has to say about it:
When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars. Quran 63:01
Here are the verses where it is used in context:
(4:15:11) shahidū they testify فَإِنْ شَهِدُوا فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّىٰ يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ
(6:19:20) latashhadūna testify أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَىٰ قُلْ لَا أَشْهَدُ
(6:19:28) ashhadu (do) I testify أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَىٰ قُلْ لَا أَشْهَدُ
(6:150:5) yashhadūna testify قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَٰذَا
(6:150:11) shahidū they testify فَإِنْ شَهِدُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ
(6:150:13) tashhad testify فَإِنْ شَهِدُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ
(7:37:32) washahidū and they (will) testify قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ
(7:172:10) wa-ashhadahum and made them testify وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ
(12:81:10) shahid'nā we testify فَقُولُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَا إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا
(41:20:5) shahida (will) testify حَتَّىٰ إِذَا مَا جَاءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَأَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُمْ
(41:21:4) shahidttum you testify وَقَالُوا لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَا
(41:22:5) yashhada testify وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ
(63:1:5) nashhadu We testify إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ
Quran 7:158 is sometimes used by the sectarians to justify the Shahada of the hypocrites. The only problem is that the word (شَهِدَ ) is missing from the entire verse. In fact, the word "say" (قُلْ) is used by God in order to make the issue even more clear to us. Furthermore, the actual Shahada is also present in the same verse and is once again distinctly repeated without the phrase "and Mohammad is his messenger" to remove all doubts.
Note: The total number of times the word from the root "shīn hā dāl" is used in different contexts is 160, mostly in terms of a witness(s)
Besides, there are numerous Ahadith where the true Shahada is detailed.
How to interpret the Quran?
Let us move towards the positive. Just a quick mention of how to interpret the Quran.
When we interpret Islam wrong it is not Islam anymore, it is as simple as that. Similarly, when we succeed in interpreting some verses correctly and others incorrectly then it is just that, partly right and partly wrong. There are no blends, it is all black or white as one would expect from a Divine guide.
God is not in the business of maybes.
It is reasonable to assume that before wanting to discuss Islam, unless we can agree on the methodology of interpreting Islam, we won't be able to agree on anything. So let us keep the questions on hold for a bit and talk methodologies, because whoever is able to convince the other side on the best methodology can just apply it and get all the answers .just like that.
In my humble opinion, this is how I see it and millions have come to more or less the same conclusions.
Trust your God-given faculties of observation, logic and rational thought as reminded by scores of verses of the Quran. Yes, the thing to note and emphasize is that the methodology of how to interpret the Quranic verses is embedded in the Quran itself.
In contrast, a reference to those who may know more than an average person is mentioned only a few times and that too not in the popular "ask those who know" manner. Those who keep harping on "Ask a Shaikh" need to be told that the number of times "use your brain" is emphasized runs into hundreds but “ask others “not once. There is no "ask those who know" in the Arabic version of the Quran. Please use your brain and observe, research, and draw valid logical conclusions. Remember God is the teacher of the Quran. (Quran 55:02) The actual guidelines of the Quran are not about "asking", but some in the community should be entrusted with researching and making their findings public and open to debate.
For the record and with all due respect to those who have a different opinion, the thing about the Quran is, as one would expect from a Divine message, that it is fully Self-Referenced and the Checksums are also all embedded in the body of the message. The core message needed for salvation is easily understood by even a twelve-year-old. The Quran, of course, is much much more and is there for all of humanity, and for all times to come. The message is designed once again to be relevant to people with varying degrees of access to knowledge bases and brain power and who happen to be living at different times and in different space.
When one decides to leverage the full potential of the book, the Quran once again comes to the rescue to address the issues associated with serious research and truly demonstrates its timelessness so to speak. For starters, the use of particular words is demonstrated by their use in a priori manner within the Quran and hence protected from the natural evolution of the language. One must research this aspect first. Similarly, the methodology of non-contradiction (there are none in the Quran) not only protects the content and its interpretation but does it in a manner where by and large the domain knowledge constraints are taken out of the equation. In simple terms, if your interpretation of a verse contradicts another verse then there are only three possibilities.

Your interpretation of the first verse is wrong
Or your interpretation of the second verse is wrong
Or your interpretation of both the verses is wrong, hence, seek another interpretation

God is not in the business of maybes as I said. Let's put it this way, every verse in the Quran has a potential veto over a wrongly interpreted verse. We cannot thank God enough for this particular aspect of understanding the message of God. God in His infinite mercy has gifted us a touchstone and if people still insist on "different interpretations" then there is extraordinarily little one can add to the argument.
Quran's framework is based on a self-correcting mechanism that needs no outside input. The answer to the question,” Is it even possible to interpret the verses of the Quran in such a manner that it eliminates verses contradicting each other?” is not only an emphatic yes, but yes on several levels. The non-contradiction claim of the Quran serves two purposes; the first , to point out that for mere humans to put together over 77,000 words, covering a full spectrum of domains, is not easy without some elements contradicting others, and the second, is to facilitate our understanding as mentioned above.
Mustansir Mir, Professor of Islamic Studies at Youngstown State University, eloquently argues for a multi-layered approach. He writes,
“From a linguistic standpoint, it is quite possible for a word, phrase or statement to have more than one layer of meaning, such that one layer would make sense to one audience in one age and another layer of meaning would, without negating the first, be meaningful to another audience in a subsequent age.”
So yes, one is free to use different meanings associated with certain words but must do so only in a manner that it does not contradict a chosen meaning in another verse.
Add to it a simple rule of restricting the meaning of words to the Arabic language even when they appear to be resembling words of a different language and be alive to the obvious allegorical references and you are done.
To seek the best of meanings is an additional and general guideline in order to understand the truth within the verses and hence take out hiding the truth from the equation.
Who in their right mind would refuse to follow the instructions of how to understand the intended message of a guide, found in the guide itself, that is if the intention is to understand the message?
Indeed, there is no doubt.
A word of caution. Some in the Quran focused approach have taken a reactionary stance to the traditional Islam and even legitimate practices of the traditionalists are challenged for the sake of challenging them. One stark example is the issue of Salah. The notion that standing, bowing, and prostration don’t mean what they say they do, because their use in some verses points to a different context, is strange. If we were to reverse this logic and make those different contexts the baseline, then standing should not mean standing anywhere in the Quran. Similarly, if we were to change the definition of a Mosque to mean something other than a physical structure, we would have to do the same with monasteries and churches and synagogues. Quran 22:40. Here once again the non-contradiction aspect of the Quran guides us in the right direction.
The impossibility of different interpretations
Why is it that there is only one correct way to interpret the Quran?
First of all, let me qualify that. It is possible to extract more than one meaning from a given verse (s) of the Quran, as long as each subsequent interpretation (s) does not negate the previous one.
Regardless of the number of extracted interpretations, each interpretation will have to pass the test of non-contradiction independently.
Let us layout the two elements of non-contradiction. It is hoped that the issue of the language of understanding can also be easily settled through it.
Assuming one has already verified the Quran to be the very word of God, the logic is pretty straightforward.

The first rule is that there are no contradictions in the Quran
The second rule is that if the Quran was produced by someone other than God one would find contradictions in that version of the Quran.

When we apply these two rules simultaneously to any interpretation of the Quran, either in its original Arabic or a translated version, we can make the following conclusion.
If one were to interpret the Quran in a way that was not intended by God then we are likely to introduce contradictions in the Quran because man is not capable of producing a different version of the Quran without any contradictions. Hence there can only be one correct way to interpret the Quran irrespective of the language of understanding.
One is free to claim that their interpreted version is the correct one, but it is not possible to claim that there is more than one correct version of the Quran. Of course, when they make such a claim, they also take on the burden to defend it to be free of contradictions.
The choice dilemma
By the way, which of the following must one follow and why?
Just to help the readers out, of course you always have the option to throw a dart in the direction of the following collections and see where it lands and take that as the one "true" Sunnah and be prepared to be declared a "Kafir" by the followers of all the rest. Mind you, all of them are claimed to have been vetted through the same magical "Science" of Hadith. Needless to say, each and every one of them ignores the all-important, essential, condition of the public delivery of the official message and hopes nobody will notice that 99.9% of them are single third-party narrations, the opposite of public.

The Ibadi one Jami Sahih Tartib Al-Musnad
The Mu'tazila collection Comments on the Peak of Eloquence

Now comes the fun part, with the possible exception of the Ibadi collection, each and every collection has an interesting thread running through it. All the collectors were Persians and almost all of them appeared out of nowhere right after the defeat of the Persians. You just need two functioning brain cells to figure out the rest.
Now throw in the following to highlight the difficulty of choosing the correct version; Muwatta Imam Malik Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal Sunan Al-Darimi Shama'il Muhammadiyah is often referred to as Shamaail Tirmidhi Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān Al-Mustadrak Alaa Al-Ṣaḥīḥaīn Al-Mawdū'āt Al-Kubrā Rīaḍ As-Ṣāliḥīn Mishkat Al-Masabih Talkhis Al-Mustadrak Majma Al-Zawa'id Bulugh Al-Maram Kanz al-Ummal Zujajat al-Masabih Minhaj us Sawi Muntakhab Ahadith The Book of Sulaym Ibn Qays Al-Sahifa Al-Sajjadiyya Uyun al Akhbar ar Reda Sharh Usul al-Kafi Nahj Al-Balagha Wasā'il Al-Shīʿa Bihar Al-Anwar Haqq al-Yaqeen Ain Al-Hayat (17th century) Qalam-e-Mowla Daim al-Islam ETC
I wish it was as simple as choosing a version or two and you were done. Not so fast, as the saying goes, even after settling for a particular version you are still totally dependent on the "scholars" associated with that particular version. In essence, they have the final say in what you ought to believe and often their explanations are not only at odds with the word of God but the wordings in a given Hadith as well.
No matter where the dart lands, in essence, it will still be no more than a game of "my scholars are better than yours".
I for one refuse to assign my eternity to this crapshoot.
Narrated Anas:
The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ إِنَّهُ لَيَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ تَعَمَّدَ عَلَىَّ كَذِبًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ".

Some important verses
Perhaps these verses may help
80:11 Nay! Indeed, it (is) a reminder,
80:12 So whosoever wills may remember it.
80:13 In sheets honored,
80:14 Exalted, purified,
80:15 In (the) hands (of) scribes.
80:16 Noble, dutiful.
Surah Al-Qamar :

We made the Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?
We made the Quran easy to remember. Is there anyone who would remember?
We made the Quran easy to understand. Is there anyone who would understand?
We made the Quran easy to memorize. Is there anyone who would memorize?

If you really are interested in the truth, please read the following verses very carefully;
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment. (11) Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of one another and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"? (12) Why did they not produce for it, four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allah, who are the liars. (13) And if it had not been for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment (14) When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous. (15) And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this. Exalted are You, [O Allah]; this is a great slander"? (16) Allah warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct], ever, if you should be believers. (17) And Allah makes clear to you the verses, and Allah is Knowing and Wise. (18) Quran 24:11-18
The true level of our deviation from the straight path can be illustrated by naming the stuff we follow without taking the time to verify it. Just to help some of you out, besides the lies about Aisha’s chronologically impossible age, the false justification of slavery and killing of non-Muslims and the un-Islamic notion of ruling the world under the disguise of Khalafat, Shahid Khan, a Facebook user, has compiled the following list;

The myth of the Muslim majority
What "vast Majority"? The reality is a sea of fragmented competing sects constantly at each other's throats. The only thing that unites them is defending their illegal relevance and attacking those who point out the illegality of their position. They are in it for the money. They are masters at duping the unsuspecting to part with their hard-earned wages. When pushed, the majority of their own members reject their sect's nonsense. People are not fools in general, they can tell when they have been taken for a ride. It is one thing to go along with the "majority" under duress and another to take all this nonsense to heart.
Here is what God has to say about the majority:
2:100 the majority do not believe (in The One God)
2:243. Majority are ungrateful.
3:110 the majority are wicked.
4:114 the majority whispers lies.
5:32 the majority are transgressors
5:49 majority are wicked
5:59 majority are wicked
5:62 the majority hasten to sin and transgression and consuming money illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they were doing.
5:64 the majority are rebels and rejecturers
Here are some other verses with similar warnings

Absurdities of scientific miracles in scriptures (including Quran)

Proof that the Prophet PBUH did split the moon

In 2010, NASA scientist Brad Bailey was asked about this and replied "My recommendation is to not believe everything you read on the internet. Peer-reviewed papers are the only scientifically valid sources of information out there. No current scientific evidence reports that the Moon was split into two (or more) parts and then reassembled at any point in the past."

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The moon split when we were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it became two separate pieces. The Prophet said to us, “Bear witness. Bear witness.”
In another narration, Ibn Mas’ud said, “A piece was behind the mountain and another piece was below it.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4584, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2800 Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ انْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَارَ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَنَا اشْهَدُوا اشْهَدُوا وفي رواية أخرى قال ابن مسعود فَكَانَتْ فِلْقَةٌ وَرَاءَ الْجَبَلِ وَفِلْقَةٌ دُونَهُ 4584 صحيح البخاري كتاب تفسير القرآن سورة اقتربت الساعة باب وانشق القمر وإن يروا آية يعرضوا 2800 صحيح مسلم كتاب صفة القيامة والجنة والنار باب انشقاق القمر

https://abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2019/07/14/bear-witness-moon-split/

Muttafaqun Alayi: When the Hadith Masters use this term, it means that the Hadith in question is found in both books; Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim, on the authority of the same Sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu) even if there exists variation in the wording.

Authenticated hadiths are a good historical record as Al-Bukhari used rigorous means to verify and authenticate the hadiths. To us muslims, these are substantial pieces of record that prove the event of the moon splitting.
Proof no.2: Other historical records
The Mayans recorded the miracle!
https://web.archive.org/web/20111028081146/http://www.mayalords.org/restfldpersia.html

At the top of page 139 in the 1997 Maya Hieroglyphic Forum, the dot and bar numbers have been inserted as corrections for the tops of the other columns (missing in V and K's works). On the basis of the number sequences, the date of the first (and, what I am surmising, was the original change) is 9.9.9.16.0 or the Gregorian date of 9 February 623 (the Julian date calculated the 6th of February, that same year).
But, if one reads the Rabbit and the Mirror, one will see, that not only was the rabbit a new addition to the home of the moon goddess, but also the cosmic tree (probably the Milky Way) was new. Being held up to the mirror, the rabbit is shown where it was then (now) located, not how it was born. In agreement with that statement is vase K2772. It shows the same three women as in the so-called birth scene, but instead of a pregnant woman with two midwives, it shows that the palace of the moon is being shaken by a quake, indicated by the same "question mark" curls found in the ears of the split-faced moon rabbit and identified by Eric Thompson as a symbol of the Moon Goddess glyphs. This "quake" or catastrophe is well recorded world-wide, even in Peru as the Rebellion of the Artifacts.The rabbit arrives later to view, in the mirror, the new star arrangement of the skies
The rabbit replaced the monkey (possibly the old north star?) As the records of time and became a very important figure with the same split face of the moon, with a the same question mark curl in each ear. And later (K1491) where the rabbit waits for the monkey to finish his final work.

Indians saw the miracle too!

Of interest in relation to the moon splitting an Indian historical manuscript (India Office Library, London, manuscript #2807/152-173), which says that this incident was observed by the Indian king of Malibar, Chakrawati Farmas- was the starting point of Islam spreading to India. It was also mentioned in the book "Muhammad Rasulullah," by M. Hamidullah.
On a moon-lit night the Indian King Chakrawati, while walking on the rooftop of his palace along with the queen saw the moon suddenly splitting into two halves. Later he came to know through Arab traders that a prophet called Muhammad PBUH had wrought a miracle on that fateful night and sundered the moon before the crowd of dazed spectators.
Learning on inquiry that there was a prediction of the coming if a Messenger of God from Arabia, he appointed his son as regent and set out to meet him. He embraced Islam at the hand of the Prophet.
The king died on his way back to India but wrote letters to the local rulers of Malabar to "help construct mosques at Kodungallur and elsewhere". The rulers of Kerala honoured his wishes and built mosques in the early 7th century, one of them being Cheraman Malik Masjid at Kodungallur, said to be one of the oldest in the sub-continent.

Travellers from Syria and Yemen also witnessed the splitting of the moon that night!
Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (Al-Bukhari)

"The Makkan people requested Allah's messenger to show them a miracle, and so he showed them the splitting of the moon.
At this point, some of the wise men explained that magic could only affect the attendees whereas it cannot maintain influence on everybody in general. They waited for travellers who were coming back from their journeys. The pagans hurried up to the borders of Mecca in anticipation to meet the travellers.
When the first arrivals appeared, they asked them did you see anything extraordinary happened to the moon?
The travellers answered 'yes, on one night we saw the moon splitting into two parts which remained asunder for some time then reattached.'
Upon this statement, a number of the group believed while the rest remained pagans.

But I have heard people say, especially ex-muslims, "this is hocus pocus, if Muhammad PBUH did split the moon, then why didnt the Europeans record it? After all, the Roman empire was still around. It's hard to believe that if the moon was split, why more people wouldn't record such phenomena"
This is easily explained with this case study:
At the beginning of the 20th century, people lived with the well-established idea of a static universe where the motion of stars never varies. This is probably due to Aristotle's teachings, stating that the sky is immutable, unlike Earth, which is perishable. This idea caused a historical anomaly:
in 1054, the Chinese noticed the appearance of new light in the sky, but no European document mentions it!
Yet it could be seen in full daylight and lasted for several weeks.
It was a supernova, that is, a dying star, the remnants of which can still be seen as the Crab Nebula. Predominant thought in Europe prevented people from accepting a phenomenon that so utterly contradicted the idea of an unchanging sky. A supernova is a very rare event, which can only be observed by the naked eye once a century. The most recent one dates back to 1987. So Aristotle was almost right in thinking that the sky was unchanging - on the scale of a human life at least.
This article can be found here: https://theconversation.com/einsteins-two-mistakes-139003
If the Europeans were unwilling to document a supernova in 1054, what makes you think they would be even more willing to document in the 7th century?
Subhan'Allah, we are now at our last proof of the splitting of the moon:
Proof no.1: The Qur'an
Almighty God mentions this miracle in the chapter of al-Qamar 1-5 as follows:
“The hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and The moon is cleft asunder.
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say "This is (but) transient magic."
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Mature wisdom― but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.” (27)
How does this show that the miracle occurred?
Well, the Quran is telling us the the Prophet split the moon, but the disbelievers said that it was magic.
Remember, this verse wasn't preached once, recorded and never preached again. The Prophet repeatedly preached this exact verse to his followers and the non-muslims for decades. The non-muslims never refuted this verse!
The people that aren't even muslims, the paganists, NEVER SAID THAT THE MOON WASN'T SPLIT!!!!!
Even Al-Tabari, the one who wrote down whatever rumour he heard, the one who wrote down about the rumours of the Satanic Verses, NEVER wrote down anywhere that the pagans did not see the moon split.
The pagans saw the moon split and said "oh, it's just MAGIC!"
Never did they say "huh? A split moon? Never occured. Fake news"
Subhan'Allah, the biggest proof of the moon splitting isn't even from the muslims, but the non-muslims. They are the ones who authenticated the verse by claiming Allah did not allow Muhammad PBUH to split the moon, Muhammad PBUH performed magic! They are the witnesses of the miracles!
Allahu Akbar! The Qur'an is the biggest miracle and historical record we have of the moon splitting!
The Holy Quran is a miracle by itself, and a book full of all sorts of miracles. We as muslims should wholeheartedly have faith in the Quran and not attempt to explain scientific miracles of the Quran in a way that does harm the credibility of the holy book.
There is no need to exaggerate certain evidences to make them fit some facts mentioned in the Quran.
Until recently, a lot of the scientific facts in the Quran were in contradiction with the scientific theories at the time. Yet this never meant that the science is right and the Quran was wrong.
In many cases, new discoveries proved the old theories wrong and the Quran right (like the expansion of the universe for example.)
In other cases, our interpretation of the Quranic verses was wrong.
Either way, as a Muslim, the Quran's credibility is above any doubt. So as Muslims, hold the Quran over your own beliefs as nothing is as perfect as the Holy Quran.
I hope you found this interesting. Insha'Allah these are enough proofs of the miracle.
Salam

I researched the origins of the first name (M–Y) of every contestant

Following up on my post two weeks ago, here is the second half!
Magdalena: From Ancient Greek, referring to a person from the ancient village of Magdala, the name of which derived from Aramaic magdala, “tower”
Maggie: From Ancient Greek margarítēs, “pearl”
Mamé: I got nothing! I really tried—I promise. At first I thought it was from French mamé, a less popular but still attested pet name that translates best as “grandma” or “nana,” and because Mamé was born in Switzerland (Geneva, specifically, which is a mostly francophone city) to West African parents—and because her sister, Coralie, has a French name herself—I thought that French could be relevant. It turns out, though, that things are less cut and dry. While Geneva and its environs have a French-speaking majority, Mamé’s parents are from Ghana, which has far, far less French penetration than many other West African nations have, with adolescent and adult French speakers constituting around only one percent of Ghanaians. Neighboring countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Togo all have French as at least one of their official languages, but Ghana only recognizes English as well as a bouquet of indigenous languages. I did find in this article (page 903) an individual named Mamé who came to Ghana from a village near Bamako in southern Mali, and Bamako itself has a population of which a bit less than half can speak French. So…I don’t know exactly what Mamé’s origin is, but it’s most likely either from a French or an indigenous West African source. I did not find any Arabic names that bore much similarity to Mamé, so I’ve ruled out that language for now.
Maria, Mariah, Marissa: see Anamaria in previous post
Marjorie: see Maggie above
Marvin: From Welsh Merfyn, perhaps related to mêr, “marrow”
Marvita: I’m guessing that it’s a feminine diminutive of Marvin (see above).
Matthew: From Hebrew Mattityahu, from matan, “gift,” and –yahu, “Yahweh” (compare Atalya in previous post)
McKey: Real name is Brittany (see Bre in previous post)
Megan, Megg: see Maggie above
Melrose: Real name is Melissa Rose. Melissa comes from Ancient Greek mélissa, “bee,” while Rose, interestingly enough, comes via Norman French from a Germanic name, *Hrothohaidis (from *hrōthiz, “fame,” and *haiduz, “character”; for the latter element, compare Alisha in previous post), but it was heavily influenced by the word rose, via Latin and Ancient Greek likely from Old Iranian. Melrose is in fact the name of a town in Scotland, and the name derives from an ancient Celtic source akin to Scottish Gaelic maol, “bald,” and ros, “peninsula.”
Mercedes: From Spanish, meaning “mercies”
Michelle, Mikaela, Mike, Mikey: From Hebrew Miykha’el, “who is like god?” (compare Annaliese in previous post)
Mila: Real name is Lyudmila, from a Slavic source akin to Russian ljúdi, “people,” and mílyj, “dear”
Mirjana, Mollie Sue, Molly: See Anamaria in previous post. Sue derives via Latin and Ancient Greek from Hebrew shoshanná, “lily” or “rose,” perhaps from Egyptian sšn or zšn, “lotus.”
Monique: Via Latin of uncertain origin—perhaps Phoenician
Naduah: An Anglo-American woman named Cynthia Ann Parker was given this name when she was adopted by the Comanche people. The name is an anglicized version of Comanche na-uhru, “was found.”
Naima: She mentioned that she was named for the John Coltrane song of the same name, which Coltrane named in honor of his wife, Juanita Grubbs, whose nickname was Naima. The name appears to be of Arabic origin, from na‘im, “bliss” or “delight.”
Nastasia: She even said on camera what her name meant, which was helpful! Nastasia is a variant of Anastasia, from Ancient Greek anástasis, “resurrection.” Remember how, in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, all the characters said “khristos anesti” during Easter celebrations? Same root.
Natalie, Natasha: From Latin diēs nātālis, “birthday” (or, in Church Latin, “Christmas Day”)
Nicole: From Ancient Greek Nikólaos, from níkē, “victory,” and laós, “people”
Nijah: I don’t know for certain because there is a lot of misinformation about this name online—it is in no way derived from a Spanish word for “water queen,” for starters (reina de agua?!)—but my best guess is that it is derived from Arabic najāḥ, “success”
Nik: Real name is Erika, which derives from Old Norse Eiríkr, from Germanic *Aiwarīks, “eternal ruler”
Nikeysha: Pretty sure this is an invented name based on Nicole (see above) and Keisha, which may be a variant of Keziah (see Kesse in previous post) influenced by various names ending in –isha (such as Arabic Aisha, Germanic Alicia, Latin Felicia, etc.)
Nina: A pet form of names ending in –nina, such as Giannina (see Giah in previous post), among many others
Nnenna: From Igbo, “paternal grandmother,” from nne, “mother,” and nna, “father”
Noelle: From French Noël, “Christmas,” from Latin nātālis (see Natalie above)
Norelle: I’m guessing that it’s an elaborative form of Nora, a nickname for Eleanor or Honora. The former comes from Occitan Aliénor, a name borne by Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was given the same name, Aénor, as her mother and was thus referred to as alia Aénor, “the other Aénor.” I’m unsure what Aénor means, but Wikipedia (so sorry) cites a German source that connects the name to a Germanic name, Adenordis, which may be a corruption of an earlier name akin to *Audamērijaz, “famous riches,” though I would need a better source to confirm this. (Compare the names Edith, Edmund, Edwin, and Edward, all of which derive from the root *audaz, “riches.” Also compare obsolete English mere, “famous”; the names Elmer and Wilmer; and the adjective Merovingian.) Honora derives from Latin honor, which means exactly what it looks like.
Nyle: Respelling of Niall, from Irish Gaelic, perhaps related to néal, “cloud,” or nia/niadh, “champion.” Interestingly, the name Nigel has the same origin.
Ondrei: A phonetic spelling of Andrée, from Ancient Greek anēr, “man,” with a feminine ending
Paige: Referring to a page, a young servant, from either Ancient Greek paîs, “child” (compare pediatrician) or Latin pagus, “(boy from the) countryside” (compare pagan)
Phil: From Ancient Greek Phílippos, from phílos, “friend,” and híppos, “horse”
Rachel: From Hebrew rakhél, “ewe”
Rae: Real name is Ashley (see previous post)
Raelia: Most likely an invented name, perhaps based on Rae (as in Rachel above) and Leah (see previous post)
Raina: A Bulgarian name—who would have seen that coming?—that is either derived from Latin rēgīna, “queen,” or the masculine name Radko, from the common Slavic word rad, “glad”
Rebecca: Via Hebrew from a Semitic root, *rbq, “tie” or “connection”
Ren: Not sure about this one. Ren said that her parents named her after Kevin Bacon’s character in Footloose, but I don’t believe the movie says what Ren is short for. My guess is that it’s short for René, a French name from Latin Renatus, “born again” (compare Natalie above).
Renee: From Latin Renatus (see Ren above)
Rhianna: Probably a variant of Rhiannon, via Welsh perhaps from a Brythonic name reconstructed as *Rīgantonā, “queen” (compare Raina above), plus an augmentative suffix
Rhiyan: An elaborative respelling of Ryan, from the Irish surname Ó Riain, perhaps from rí, “king” (compare Raina above), plus a diminutive suffix
Rio: From Spanish río, “river”
Robin: A diminutive of Robert, from the Germanic name *Hrōthiberhtaz, from *hrōthiz, “fame” (compare Melrose above), and *berhtaz, “bright”
Romeo: Via Italian from Greek Rōmaios, “Roman,” from Latin Rōma, “Rome,” a name of uncertain origin
Saleisha: My best guess is that it’s an invented name based on Sally (see Sara below) with the popular suffix –isha (compare Nikeysha above), but I did find that salisha is an imperative verb meaning “cause to pray” in Swahili, so…perhaps that’s something.
Samantha: Most likely either from Samuel (with an elaborative suffix) or from the same Semitic root as Samuel: *šm‘, “to hear”
Sandra: see Alexandra in previous post
Sara, Sarah: From Biblical Hebrew śaráh, “lady” or “princess,” which means “female (government) minister” in modern Hebrew, from the Semitic root *śrr, “to rule”
Seymone: Elaborative respelling of Simone, from Hebrew Šim‘on, from the verb šama‘/lišmo‘a, “to hear” (compare Samantha above)
Shandi: Shandar is an Urdu name that means “fabulous,” and Sháńdíín means “sunshine” in Navajo, but that’s not terribly relevant here. Various websites (that do not cite legitimate sources, if any) connect the name to Shannon, Shoshana, or Welsh Shan (see Shannon below, the etymology of Sue under Mirjana above, and Giah in previous post), but this is neither here nor there. The name seems to come from the Kiss song “Shandi,” which was featured on the album Unmasked, and the song was inspired by the Bruce Springsteen song “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” from the album The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. I thought for a hot second that Shandi was just an inventive version of Sandy, but then I found this book, which implies that the song was named after a singer named Shandi Sinnamon (not Cinnamon, as the book says), who was born Shandra. It’s not clear what Shandra means, but it may indeed be an inventive version of Sandy (see Alexandra in previous post). Whew!
Shanice: An invented name based on the elements Shan– and –ice that was popularized by the singer of the same name
Shannon: From the name of the river, from Irish Gaelic Sionna, perhaps related to sean, “old” or “ancestor,” a word with some derivatives in Irish that contain “wise” among their definitions (such as seanchríonna)
Sharaun: Real name is Brittney; see Bre in previous post
Sheena: see Giah in previous post
Shei: Real name is Andrea; see Ondrei above
Simone: see Seymone above
Sophie: From Ancient Greek sophíā, "wisdom"
Stacy-Ann: see Analeigh (for Ann) in previous post and Nastasia (for Stacy) above
Stefano: From Ancient Greek stéphanos, “crown” or “wreath”
Sundai: From Old English sunnandæġ, “day of the sun,” a translation of Latin diēs sōlis and Ancient Greek hēmérā hēlíou
Tahlia: Likely a phonetic respelling of Talia, from Hebrew tal, “dew,” and –yah, “Yahweh” (compare Atalya in previous post)
Tash: Likely a pet form for Natasha (see Natalie above)
Tatiana, Tatianna: From Latin Tatius, a Roman name apparently of Sabine origin
Terra: Variant of Tara (influenced by Latin terra, “land”), from Irish Gaelic teamhair, “hill,” though other authors associate Teamhair with Latin templum and Ancient Greek temenos, suggesting an Indo-European origin
Tessa: A nickname for Theresa, perhaps from Ancient Greek Thērasía, an island in the Aegean Sea that was once attached to Thera (aka Santorini), or perhaps from théros, meaning “harvest,” “heat,” or “summer”
Teyona: I’m guessing that it’s a phonetic respelling of Tiana, which can be short for Christiana (see Chris in previous post) or Tatiana (see above)
Tiffany: A variant of Theophania (yes, really), from Ancient Greek theós, “god,” and the suffix –phanēs, “appearing”
Toccara: Most likely from the Avon perfume Toccara, the name of which is apparently derived from Italian toccare, “to touch” (compare French toucher and Spanish tocar)
Victoria: From Latin, meaning “victory”
Xiomara: Possibly a variant of Guiomar, which itself is possibly derived from a Germanic name akin to *Wīgamērijaz, from *wīga, “battle” (compare Louise in previous post), and *mērijaz, “famous” (compare Norelle above)
Wendy: J. M. Barrie seems to have invented this name for the book Peter Pan, basing it on fwendy, a childish way of saying “friend,” but the name occasionally predates the book, and in these cases, it may derive from the Welsh word gwen, “white” (compare Jennifer in previous post)
Whitney: From Old English hwītan īeġe, “(by the) white island”
Will: From the Germanic name *Wiljahelmaz, from *wiljô, “will,” and *helmaz, “helmet”
Yaya: Real name is Camara, which has been a little tough to research. There is a Portuguese surname Câmara, derived from Latin camera, “chamber” or “room,” from Ancient Greek ultimately, but I can’t tell if Yaya’s parents—her mother has Brazilian heritage, by the way—pulled a Beyoncé (whose mother’s surname was Beyincé) and gave their daughter a variation of a family surname as her first name (it’s worth noting that her father’s surname is Johnson, and her mother’s surname is DaCosta, so…maybe scratch that theory). A few websites—without citing sources—claim that Camara means “teacher” in Igbo, but it very much does not; the Igbo word for “(male?) teacher” is onye nkuzi. However, Camara is an attested surname throughout French-speaking West Africa—where the Portuguese had some historical presence—so there may be a partial African origin here. I should also note that Islam is popular in West Africa, and Qamar is an Arabic name (meaning “moon”) that bears a passing similarity to Camara. That’s all I have for now.
Yoanna: see Giah in previous post
Yvonne: A French-ass name, indeed. It is derived from the masculine name Yves, potentially from the Germanic root *īhwaz, “yew”
Let me know if I've missed anything!
