    Peace Noon,

    it is important to stay focused one verse and point at a time not be all over the place.

    You have to let the Quranic verses explain the Quran. That means you have to cross reference. Thats how you will be able to comprehend the Quran. The audience of the Quran was the Arabs considering the facts that the scenerio, the people and even their speech were all of South Arabian.

    In context of chapter 63 (11 verses) it is about hypocrites and likewise we know about different scripts.

    Tell me something that i dont know! Did i not explain?

    http//arabetics.com/public/html/more/History%20of%20the%20Arabic%20Script_article_files/image001.jpg

    631 when came you the hypocrites said they of we witness surely you surely messenger the god and the god knows surely you surely messenger his and the god he witness surely the hypocrites surely lying 632 have taken they of aymnahum/commitments theirs cover so to hinder about way the god surely they evil what be they of working 633 such since they believe they of furthermore disregard they of so sealed upon hearts theirs so they not understanding 634 and when sees thou them impressed you ajsmuhum/corporeal theirs and if speak they of hear/listen to speech theirs ka-annahum/like they khushubun/wood beams musannadatun/propped up calculating/thinking each shout against them themselves the enemy so beware them fight/perish them the god surely how deluding 635 and when said to them come ye of shall ask forgiveness for you messenger the god turn they of heads theirs and see thou them away turning and they arrogant being 636 equally on them whether ask forgiveness thou for them or not thou ask forgiveness for them never forgives the god for them surely the god not guides the folk the disobedient 637 themselves the ones saying not spend they upon from near/with messenger the god until dispersed they and to god treasuries the heavens and the earth and however the hypocrites not understanding 638 saying while return we to the town surely go out the noble from it the humble and to god the pride and for messenger his and to the believers and however the hypocrites not knowing 639 O you the ones believe ye of not distract you wealth yours and not offspring yours about remembrance the god and who does such so surely those are the losing 6310 and spends ye of from what provided we you from before that comes one of you the death so says lord why not delay thou me to term near so I give charity and I be from the righteous 6311 and never delayed the god soul of when came term its and the god aware in what thou working

    It is not only their speech rather them being like wooden manikins i.e. all show no action.

    5420 plucked the humankind ka-annahum/like they trunks date-palms uprooted

    613 greatly hateful near/with the god that thou say ye of what not thou doing 614 surely the god loves the ones fighting in way his row of ka-annahum/like they structure joined firmly

    7450 ka-annahum/like they donkeys/zebras frightened

    This is the hadithers way of explaining the Quran. What does all those verses have to do with 6304? Cant you see, the Quran is showing us things that those clerics trying to cover up!

    Peace

      No, you did not explain and took a verse out of context implied that the phrase ka-annahum khushubun musannadatun that it refers to running into some group of people speaking a non-existent Arabic language and confused it with an ancient script.

      This is the hadithers way of explaining the Quran. What does all those verses have to do with 6304? Cant you see, the Quran is showing us things that those clerics trying to cover up!

      Never mentioned hadith showed 634 in full context of whole chapter that it is about hypocrites in general and showed for benefit of others examples for ka-annahum/like they; not some non-existed Arabic musnad language-speaking group of people as you claimed.

      Let's not confuse ancient scripts with languages e.g. Amarna letters written in ancient Akkadian script which was standard for communication at the time for peoples who spoke different languages as English script/fonts most use today like to write these posts.

          Peace Noon...

          I m not going to force you to believe. It shows clearly you have no interest in reading what i have written. Btw, its you who read the Quran out of context by following those moronic sectarian clergy and i dont blame you for not comprehending this garbage language. If this Arabic version Quran were in Musnad, it will be easier to comprehend!

          6304 explicitly shows who the hypocrites were, the people, their speech and their writings.

          And when you see them, YOU WONDER THEIR PERSONALITY AND WHEN THEY SPEAK, YOU LISTEN TO THEIR SPEECH. Indeed they were MUSNAD WOOD. They reckon all vociferate is on them...

          compare with these ridiculous sectarian translation

          634 and when sees thou them impressed you ajsmuhum/corporeal theirs and if speak they of hear/listen to speech theirs ka-annahum/like they khushubun/wood beams musannadatun/propped up calculating/thinking each shout against them themselves the enemy so beware them fight/perish them the god surely how deluding

          Why on earth should those munafiqs impressed the Prophet? Than the Prophet listen to their speech and their speech is like wood and propped up rotfl

          peace

                Peace Hizbullah,

                Hypocrites appear 32 times in Qur'an and can be anyone. It does not say they "were" rather ka-annahum "they are like" which is a comparison hence your translation makes no sense in or out of context.

                  Look whos talking......The scenerio of the Quran is Arabia. Hypocrites appear 32 times in Qur'an refer to the hypocrites among the Arabs. ka-annahum is in perfect tense.

                  it is not for you to decide what language the Quran was written or when it was sent down or how old it was! Let the Quran speak for itself. Its all in the Quran. You need to do through research and not be a blind follower!

                  You can carry on with your ridiculous translation which is out of context and makes no sense at all.

                  Conclusion

                  THE OLDEST ORIGINAL ARABIC QURAN WAS WRITTEN IN SOUTH ARABIAN MUSNAD----PERIOD

                          Quran 6304 it the proof. But offcourse, sectarian would always refute. Fyi what u show was old musnad. By the 3rd Century, the Musnad script evolved into cursive Musnad.

                                Sorry, my brother, but i see not how msndh in 63411 underpins your conclusion !

                                In my book, when the post-qurnic diacritization are taken out the textus receptus, you get a North-Arabian, Nabatean/Aramean lingua ? starting with the very first qurnic prep. phrase b-sm (&#1600.

                                  Peace Brother Wakas

                                  Thank you for your reply

                                  Below are the evidences....

                                  http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9606373.0

                                  http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9607488.0

                                  First off, Nabatean was never an Arabic language. In fact even up till today, the people of the Levant never consider themselves as Arabs. There are thousands of stele found in the Levant, from Syria to down south Jordan, with Nabatean inscription compare to Syriac which actually derives from Nabatean and not the other way round. Parthian, Middle Persian, Khawarimian, Soghdian - all contains Huzwaresh, which means words that were Nabatean in origin. Anyone within that area would be able to comprehend these languages.

                                  The Arabic of the Quran was tailored by the Arabs of AlHira by combining these two languages, Musnad and Nabatean, into one which is known today as Arabic using its first script, Jazm. So that is why you can find many so called Syriac words which is actually Nabatean in the Quran!

                                  These occurred during the Arabization of the Middle East by the Arabs under Queen Maviya in the late 4th century / early 5th Century. Queen Maviya was the predecessor of Bani Ummayah or better known as Bani Umm Maviya - Children of Mother Maviya.

                                  Salam

                                    Peace -- another early text was kind of shorthand and every 10 verses scribe kept checksum.

                                    Birmingham Quran manuscript radiocarbon dated 568 - 645 CE ~95% probability.

                                      According to Professor Peter Stein - University of Jena, Germany, who is the world expert on ASA; this script was made sometime in the end of 3rd Century CE and the correct rendering of the ancient text is that it is a legal document which states that a certain amount (the actual number has been left open) of Sorghum has been granted by A MAN TO FOUR WOMEN.

                                      Quranic verse 0403 - 04 sound VERY SIMILAR. Now, if this is the case, how come in the 3rd Century, such Quranic law was initiated in South Arabia?

                                      What say you?

                                      peace

                                          Peace Noon,

                                          So base on Professor Peter Stein interpretation, the text seems to show alms / charity towards the women. It also seems to be very similar to the Quran 0403....If suppose the word NIKAH is not part of Q0403 - ? the Quranic verse sound like??

                                          And if you fear that you cannot distribute in the orphans, what seems suitable you all of the women, two or three or four, so that you fear you cannot be just, then one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline.

                                          If you read further verse 0404, there is no word "dowry" but instead it mentions "charity".

                                          Q0404 - And give the women their alms / charity graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.

                                          Now, if this is the case, 0403 ? 0404, did not render the marriage of orphans among the women but instead to give charity to the women, affordable to the donor, 2, 3 or 4 women, but if he / she cannot afford than 1 is enough.

                                          The reason why i believe the word "NIKAH" was indoctrinated is that if someone fear because he could not provide or distribute some things than that means he is lack of financial or other means of support. Than how can he marries 2 or 3 or 4 women? This will put more burden on him considering if he already has a wife to support.

                                          Furthermore, the 1st sentence of this Chapter starting with the word "Oh Mankind" referring to both men and women who are / were the audience.

                                          I believe the verses 0403-04 have something to do with charity. If you read further verses 05 and 06, it tells us to take care of the orphans / singles property until their marriageable age. The ancient cursive Musnad text does provide prove of Quranic Law used, pertaining to distribution of charity to 4 single women in the 3rd / 4th Century CE.

                                          Note Whatever i have written is base only on the results of my own research.
