Another question raised is whether abrogating rulings ("al-hukm") but not Quranic wording ("al-tilawa") contradicts the verse of abrogation Q.2:106 which states "any "ayah" We cause to be superseded or forgotten, We replace with something better or similar", and not "any "hukm" We cause to be superseded or forgotten ..." The Arabic word "Ayah", is the word used in the Quran for verses in that book, although it is also used for other of God's "signs". If God intended for sharia rulings and not wording to be abrogated why wouldn't verse Q.2:106 say so?
