    1885 so followed means of
    1886 until when reached maghriba/west (direction of sunset) the sun found it set in spring dark mud and found near it folk of said we O owner the horned two either that thou punish and/or that thou take amongst them good of

          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

          2211 and from/among the humankind who devoted the god on edge so if struck him good reassured with it and if hits him fit'natun/trial turns on countenance his lost the world and the afterlife such it the loss the clear 2212 calls he of from besides the god what not harms him and what not shall profit him such it the straying the far 2213 calls he of to whom harm his nearer from profit his surely wretched the patron and surely wretched the friend 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 (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
          2216 and like such have descended we it signs clear and that the god guides whom intends

              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...

                http//idb.ub.uni-tuebingen.de/diglit/MaVI165

                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
                            Amenuel

                                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

                                    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.

                                    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

                                        Peace, a forum user noticed Tanzil web site, 9127, the word "yarakum" is spelled with 'ya' in the Uthmanic script spelling, and with an 'alif' in the simplified Imlaei script spelling and wanted to confirm with older manuscripts.

                                        There should be no alif in 9127 yarkum/seeth you (plural) same as in examples below...

                                        2440 yarh/seeth it
                                        26218 yarka/seeth you (singular)
