 ๐Ÿ“œ Islam: The Mutation Timeline (700 AD → 2025)

CenturyOriginal Islam ("Before")Modern Mutation ("After")
7th Century (600s)Islam is a military-political movement under Muhammad. Forced conversions, assassinations (e.g., Ka'b bin al-Ashraf), raids, and state-sanctioned violence are normal. Qur'an is orally transmitted, incomplete.Islam is born in war. There is no compiled Qur'an. No one calls it a "religion of peace." It's a tribal conquest ideology.
8th–9th CenturyHadith collections explode. Bukhari and Muslim compile oral traditions. Sharia law codified. Death for apostasy. Slavery, wife-beating, and child marriage all sanctioned.Islamic law hardens. Quranic variants suppressed. Islam becomes more legalistic and authoritarian.
10th–11th CenturyTheologians like Ibn Hazm invent the "Bible is corrupted" theory to explain contradictions between Qur’an and existing Bible texts.First major doctrinal shift. The corruption narrative is introduced to protect Islam’s originality.
12th–13th CenturyIbn Taymiyyah doubles down on ultra-conservative Islam. Jihad re-emphasized. Hatred of philosophy, rationalism, and Christian theology increases.Islam hardens again to resist external critiques. The groundwork for modern Salafism is laid.
14th–15th CenturyIslamic empires rise (Ottomans, Mughals). Forced conversions, jizya tax on non-Muslims, and dhimmitude become normalized.Islam is still a dominant military force, enforcing Qur’anic supremacy by law. No reinterpretation yet.
16th–17th CenturyIslam faces European colonization. Internal weakness, division, and intellectual stagnation. Reform movements begin.Qur’anic literalism starts to break down. First cracks in the armor.
18th CenturyWahhabism emerges: a purist, hyper-literalist Islam aiming to revive 7th-century Islam. Allies with House of Saud.Attempt to restore Islam 1.0 — by force. No compromise, no reform.
19th CenturyIslam confronts the modern world: printing press, science, secularism, and Christianity’s global rise. Desperate attempts to prove Islam is scientific or tolerant begin.Islam adopts PR tactics: claiming harmony with science, democracy, women's rights, etc. Contradictions pile up.
20th Century (1900s)Collapse of Ottoman Caliphate (1924). Rise of modernist Islam and Islamism. Muslim Brotherhood pushes for global Islamic rule. Simultaneously, liberal Muslims try to reinterpret everything.Islam fractures: radical vs. progressiveliteral vs. metaphoricalcaliphate vs. coexistence.
21st Century (2000–2025)Internet exposes Hadith, Qur'an contradictions, Muhammad’s actions. Ex-Muslim movement rises. "Islam is peace" narrative pushed harder than ever.Islam is completely split: One side clings to Muhammad’s brutal original; the other side rebrands him as a peace activist. The original version is unrecognizable to modern audiences.

๐Ÿงจ Summary: The Death of Original Islam

Islam began as a political religion of conquest.
But as the centuries passed, it bent under pressure — from philosophy, colonization, science, and now the internet.

❗ A “perfect, final religion” does not require 1,400 years of editing, excuses, reinterpretation, PR campaigns, or scholarly rewrites.


⚖️ Final Judgment: Immutable God or Evolving Myth?

If Allah is unchanging,
Why has Islam mutated in every generation?

If Muhammad brought the final, perfect message,
Why do Muslims keep reinventing it to survive?

✅ Immutable truth does not evolve.
❌ Only man-made ideologies mutate like this under pressure.
