Oldest Qur?an manuscript MA VI 165
-
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

No, you did not provide a verse in Qur'an in Musnad script.
For benefit of others below is an example of Musnad script.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.

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.

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 Hizbullah -- not sure why man leaves something to four women has to do with Qur'an/context of chapter four?

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.

Peace -- an update on this manuscript is as today slight difference in that the scribe kept a different verse count/checksum every ten verses "heavy red dots" so there is an extra verse count in chapter 27 and one less in other chapters like chapter 20 (see earlier posts) and chapter 36 where initials are not counted as separate verses.

Now back to topic Qur?an manuscript MA VI 165 it is a wonder how it matches today's script only difference how the scribe kept a different checksum i.e. every 10 verses and numbering system to keep count which varies slightly.
Here is another difference which contains an extra verse count in chapter 35 hence total 46 verses.

Noon,
I am showing you proves of ancient Quranic evidence and has something to do with this thread.
You deliberately denied solid evidence of Quranic legislation implemented in the 3rd Century. Quran 0403-04, tells us the legislation of providing charity to orphan / single women.
http//arabetics.com/public/html/more/History%20of%20the%20Arabic%20Script_article_files/image008.gif
Quran 6304 - And when you see them, you wonder their personality, AND WHEN THEY SPEAK, YOU LISTEN TO THEIR SPEECH. INDEED THEIR WERE MUSNAD WOODEN ......
Feel free to follow the sectarian lies!

Peace Hizbullah -- no evidence, off topic, did not show which word is "charity" or "orphan" or its context?
Keep quoting Qur'an in use now like one in this thread dated to 6th century and no evidence 3rd century.
Perhaps produce something like Perf 558 which contains date also...

Is this how you gather information to prove your point? Without using critical thinking concept? It is not right!
Quranic evidence does not means only Quranic verses or pages but it involves the concept of evaluating information gathered from observation and reasoning which are similar to what the Quranic possession of a set of information.
You cannot outright refute. For example, the writings on the wooden stick - what are the information pertaining to the writings? Were they Quranic information / legislation? Yes, No, Very similar to a certain extent? In what script the information was written in order to identify when it was written? So on and so forth.
Fyi, with the evidences, you provided - shows clearly that the Quran was written in the Jazm Script in the 6th Century CE, when the so called Prophet was not even born yet. So how could you justify that the Arab was the Prophet when evidences shows the Quran was already present even before he was born? If you follow the traditional Islamic history, the Quran was sent down when the Prophet was in his 40th birthday, sometime in the early 7th Century CE. This was the time he was selected to be a prophet and the Quran was sent down from this point onwards! How do you justify this?
