ABSTRACT
Support for the concept of abrogation has also been sought from verses that do not contain any variant of the term “naskh” but that it seemed possible to link to the concept. These are verses 16.101 and 13.39 specifically. In this chapter, I will examine the merits of understanding these verses as proofs on the Qur'anic origin of the concept of abrogation. I will show that linking these verses to abrogation is not derived from an objective reading of these verses but is forced on them. It is the result of an already established belief in abrogation.
