Hello Folks, Fawzia here! I was a Quranist for 10 months.

explain, not everyone here studies the Quran in Arabic, and translations often do not include multiple meanings of the Arabic words. Make things easier for everyone, ok?
Fair enough
We have, without doubt, sent down Adh-dhikr ; and We will assuredly guard it (15/9)
Those who reject Adh-dhikr when it comes to them while indeed it is an honoured book. No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise (41/41-42)
80/11-16
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance. It is) in pages held (greatly) in honour, Raised high and purified, by the capacities of travellers-Honourable and Pious and Just.

huh? those two statements don't seem to connect with each other. since when has one overtaking another been a point? it's just opinion
Warsh remains a minority and can never overtake Hafs as the dominant edition. Of course its opinion but its based on my reading of Quran and what IT wants its reader to do. You instead took the 'which quran' guy as your evidence. So you stick with that and have fun...

it's not a question of dominance, but authenticity. I am not saying that Hafs is fake, I am saying that both may be acceptable. You have rejected the Warsh variant based on your opinion only.

you base your rejection on other people's opinion?

I don't see how small transcription errors indicate falsehood. Regardless of whether I wrote
I m going out
OR
I am goin out
They both mean "I am going out"

That's why the Quran says adh-DHIKR in singular and not dhukoor or adhkaar in plural. There can only ONE eminent one, not two, not seven. Again, sure its my opinion but my opinion is based on the Quran, not on some fake orientalist assumptions and hadith, unlike some people.

I haven't rejected anything, other than the hadiths, but that is based on the Quran
False, you accepted Warsh because SUNNIS accept Warsh and sunnis accept Warsh because of 7 ahruuf hadith. Do the math...
-
You're comparing your language use with God's use? God uses VERY precise language to describe the ideology. One word out of place and the whole system breaks down. It's cool tho, you study what you like.

Where did the Warsh variant come from?
When did it appear?
How old is the oldest Quran, and why does it have differences that match neither the present Hafs nor the present Warsh variants?
Has there been some variation over time?
-
did you have to include this sentence? you don't think you are being rude here?
No , I don't. I am giving you my whole-hearted approval to do whatever you like since it's your God-given right.

For Warsh and its history, read the book I quoted for you above by Yasir Qadhi. For oldest Quran, I don?t buy any of it since dhikr isn?t mushaf (which is the sunni term for oldest codices) . Dhikr is whatever is eminent. Masahif aren?t eminent and god knows who wrote them.

how did they know what parts were correct and what werent' to get the present day Hafs variant then?

Who said they were interested in them? You met these people? How you know they were interested in authenticity?
From the time of the Prophet, the Quran was already written and vouchsafed. The Quran calls itself 'kitaab' (15/1, 27/1) which always implies something written and arranged and this dissemination already took place then. That is why, if you compare it with these 'textual variations', none of them ever gained any popularity because they were simply invented by volition of hadith. The best was Warsh and even then, only a small section of Muslims accepted it.

How old is the oldest surviving Quran? Was it written by Muhammad himself (or his compatriots)? Have you seen it? A scan or the original manuscript in the museum maybe? Is it just like the Hafs? or does it have differences from both?

Kindly refer to reply #89. You two need to reconsider your 'old=gold' mindsets. Quran doesn't agree with it at all. That's my last reply on the matter.

That's fine, but you haven't answered my question. You just made an unsupported statement that the Quran doesn't agree with 'it', when there is nothing in the Quran that refers specifically to choosing one variant over other, after the elapse of some 1400 years.
Rather than refer me to a book that may not be easily accessible to me, why don't you summarise how the Hafs was established as dhikr/eminent for the benefits of myself and other readers on this forum?
You haven't given me or Qstudent any logical reason to reconsider our mindsets.
I am assuming that you have studied the Quran fairly thoroughly, in Arabic, and have studied something of its historical origins. Is there any reason why you are choosing not to answer my questions. I believe they have been quite reasonable.
