Nasakh and Quran

As discussed in previous articles, one of Satan’s most effective tricks was convincing the Muslim masses that some of the verses of the Quran have been abrogated. This utterly wrong understanding stems from twisting the meaning of the word ayah ( آيَة) in Sura 2 verse 106, thus causing Muslims to feel justified in discarding some verses of the Quran in favor of other verses or, more often than not, in favor of the Hadith literature over the Quran.

2:106 When we abrogate (naskh) any miracle (ayah), or cause it to be forgotten, we bring one better, or one equal to it. Do you not recognize the fact that GOD is Omnipotent?
