    This is not a conspiracy theory, its the truth, Quran was written before the inauguration of christianity. QURANIC AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCES PROVES IT ALL. In fact there are no evidences whatsoever of jesus existences before the 4th Century CE as there are no evidences of an Arab Prophet born in the 6th Century CE. The truth was Esa / Esaias, who was born between the 7th and 6th century BCE. But off course you are going to refute! You are not the believer of the Quran. You believe in the Book created by your Pagan emperor!

    I dont find you intelligible about the Quran, Nothing that you wrote, did you ever quote any Quranic verses to back up your so call theories. Its from you own brain thinking that you are right, smart and you knew everything. In fact what you know about the Quran and Islam is ZERO. You evil intention is to change the Quran, nothing new from what the sectarians had done! Call yourself Quranist but still believe in all those sectarian craps.

    You wrote beautifully, written in the best of English, nothing more but to deceive. The Quran 06112

    And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.

    So much of your hippocracy.

    MOF bro,

    My apologies hail

    peace

              Peace everyone -- verse 2215 came up in another thread and the issue in translation is mostly inconsistency, lack of cross-reference, context, and inserting words not present in the text especially this case concerning those who are on the edge of faith?

              1975 say who be in the error falyamdud/so surely extends for him the almighty extension of until when see they of what promised being either the punishment and either the hour so will understand they of who worst place/position of and weaker host of

              2215 who be that think that never supports him (i.e. who/said person) the god in the world and the afterlife falyamdud/so surely extends bisababin/by means/rope? to the firmament/sky/heaven furthermore l'yaqa/let him cutoff so let sees shall remove disposition his what raged

                  Did you reach a conclusion about 2215 when you checked the photo's of the old manuscript ? What is your conclusion on it ? I can't help you with this because I have no Arabic knowledge, sadly.

                    Peace imrankhawaja,

                    The manuscript 155 pages or ~1/4 of Qur'an (ch17v36 - ch36v55) download best result 132Mb link below...

                    It takes a bit getting used to although after translating numerous pages it gets easier.

                    Peace Dakhan,

                    No, script is fairly consistent with modern text except for verse numbering e.g. initialed chapters are single verse, etc.

                    One simply needs to read context it's obvious not telling those on the edge of faith to extend a rope hang themselves?

                    Likewise ask in context of the verses prior and following who exactly does "him" refer to other than back to who?

                    2215 who be that think that never supports him the god

                    Likewise ask how/why this word is translated as rope? by/with ?
                    1884 surely we established we for him in the land and gave him from each thing means/course of
                    2644 so threw they of ropes theirs and staffs theirs and say they of by might Firaun/Pharaoh surely we surely we the dominating
                    1115 on neck hers cord/rope from palm fiber

                    Therefore ...

                    2214 surely the god enter the ones believes they of and do they of the righteous works gardens flow from underneath it the springs surely the god does what intends
                    2215 who be that think that never supports him the god in the world and the afterlife so surely/let extends by means/course to the sky/heaven furthermore let him cutoff so let sees shall remove plan/disposition his what raged
                    2216 and like such have descended we it signs clear and that the god guides whom intends

                                Virtually no diacritical markers in the original manuscript.

                                And all the claimed variations of Alef is just one and the same letter.

                                Be well

                                    Peace, another member messaged me to confirm if "alif" in old manuscripts i.e. b-s-m spelling was specific to bismillah or does it also occur in other instances...

                                    So, the Quran from Birmingham is the same as today? Now we have evidence that Quran never changed.

                                      Peace, yes MA VI 165 as well (Birmingham is only two pages) which are same as today's except for verse numbering i.e. initials were not counted as separate verses and usage of alif mostly.

                                      e.g. the other day thought there was consistency error with missing alif in 1942 said?

                                      If we look carefully scribes had system to differentiate and applied consistently throughout manuscript...

                                      no alif if address to one person
                                      1942 when said to father his O father mine

                                      alif if referring to many people
                                      2152 when said to father his and folk his

                                        No numbering, but we can still see the divisions on the pages

                                          Peace, there was numbering i.e. dashes at end of verses and larger markings start/end of 10 verses which scribes used as reference and to keep count/checksum; although earliest manuscripts initials had no end verse marks thus not counted/combined into single verse, e.g.

                                          191 kaaf ha ya ain saad (no end verse marks counted as one with next verse)
                                          192 remembrance mercy lord your devotee his Zakariyya

                                          Here is another early 1st century AH Sana manuscript example end 9128-129 to 107
