              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

                      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

                          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
