    Yet you use Ali as an argument for someone who started the alleged Classic Arabic grammar tradition, which accoding to observable sources started as late as the end of the 8th century at best and not with the alleged Ali's (because his identity is questioned) alleged rule period (because his reign is questioned), which according to traditional sources (i.e. lack of confirmed sources) was around in the late first half and early second half of 7 AD.

    Hence, my reality based argument. We we two things on our disposal Quran in its current written text and the archives of its language rules. No way of determining the authorship of either. Historical and traditional accounts are all suspect. Therefore, use these language rules to understand the meanings of text. Evaluate resulting translation based upon scale of given innate ability of rationale, then decide.

        It does not explain the language dialect of your choice, not at all. Why not use any of the OSA dialects or or ANA? What makes it be the Classic Arabic for you, which did not even exist before the end of the 8th c?

          OSA is Old South Arabic but what is ANA?

            Ancient North Arabian, you know, some theories believe the Quranic script originated from the North, in the Persian or Jordan region, which makes sense given the state of technological advancement in the North and stagnation of the South in the pre-Islamic period.

            Copies like the Yemeni Saana Manuscript could be left there to make it look like it originated from Yemen though. Just like they did when they left the copies of Mo's "diolomatic letters" in the countries that they counquered, it seems to be their historical deception tactics, but they barely could identify the leaders of those days.

              Salam Makaveli i recommend reading these then

              Salam/Peace, the only evidence i can't think of right now is Sanaa Manuscript that was found in Yemen, yes i know it's whole but hear me out.

              There is a 4-part E-Books named Arabia The Untold Story and you wonder what does it involve in this topic? Well the books involve Quran heavily and exposing the Zionist & Orientalist corruption involving the geography in the Quran. And i recommend checking them out

              Book 1 Search for Pharaoh
              https//www.quranite.com/wp-content/uploads/1st-E-Book_Search-for-Pharaoh.pdf

              Book 2 Road of the Patriarch
              https//www.quranite.com/wp-content/uploads/2nd-E-Book_Road-of-the-Patriarch.pdf

              Book 3 Israel and Sheba
              https//www.quranite.com/wp-content/uploads/3rd-E-Book_Israel-and-Sheba.pdf

              Book 4 The Assyrian Storm
              https//www.quranite.com/wp-content/uploads/4th-E-Book_The-Assyrian-Storm.pdf

              Also there is these verses

              8521
              Bal huwa qur'?nun maj?dun
              No,it is a glorious Qur'an.
              8522
              F? lawHin maHf?Zin
              In a tablet, preserved.

              Once you read all of the books and the 2 verses i have shown, you may get a conclusion the Original Quran may be in Yemen. I can help but notice that the Sanaa Manuscript was found in Yemen.

              Salamun Aleykum/Peace be upon you. group

              P.S Just letting you know i am not a skilled debater '(

                It looks like it is the Yemeni theory, but does the author explains how did a wild unlettered Arabic/Yemeni tribe acquired the most powerful world's religion now called Judaism?

                This is the only thing which is interesting to me in the anti-Egypt thesis, so if he explains it please, if you can, provide pages where he outlines his thesis regarding this.

                    He does in Book 1 Search for Pharoah

                    But I am not browsing 170 pages long of the Muslim traditional propaganda, so if he does, please point at specific pages. As for now I only see one traditional deception attack the other traditional deception. An example is on pp. 51-52

                    There is very solid and eye-opening evidence that Farawn was indeed the personal
                    name of the tyrannical figure who persecuted Msa (P) and the Israelites. Had the term
                    been a title, it would have been mentioned in the form of al-Farawn, (meaning the
                    Pharaoh&#8221. The fact is, nowhere in the Qurn does it appear with the prefix al-. Lets
                    look at the following examples
                    {And the wife of Farawn said A pleasure to my eye and yours, so do not
                    kill him, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son while they
                    did not perceive}
                    52
                    The phrase wife of Farawn is no different than wife of N (Noah), or wife of L
                    (Lot), as can be seen in the following passage
                    {Allah puts forth as examples of those who have covered the truth, the wife
                    of Nh and the wife of Lt. They were married to two of Our righteous
                    servants, but they betrayed them and, consequently, they could not help
                    them at all against Allah. And it was said Enter the Fire, both of you, with
                    those who will enter it * And Allah puts forth as an example of those who
                    believed the wife of Farawn. She said My Rabb, build a home for me near
                    You in the Paradise, and save me from Farawn and his works; and save me
                    from the transgressing people}

                    No, it is not at all a "very solid and eye-opening evidence", unless of course Al-Lah is a title or a personal name, not an ancient root depicting something, but then he would have to prove it.

                    I can also see an overall poor study with little to no references

                    Furthermore, the builders of the pyramids were not slaves. They lived in good housing
                    conditions at the foot of the pyramids, and when they died, they received honored burials
                    in stone tombs near royal cemeteries, as a reward for their contribution. This information
                    is relatively new, as the first of these worker tombs was discovered only in 1990. They
                    ate well, received the best medical care, and were exempt from taxes. Unlike slaves, they
                    were also well paid. The pyramid builders were recruited from poor communities and
                    worked shifts of three months (including farmers, who worked during the months when
                    the Nile flooded their farms), distributing the kings wealth out to where it was needed
                    most. Virtually every fact about the workers that archaeology has revealed rules out the
                    use of slave labor in the construction of the pyramids. Furthermore, there is zero mention
                    of Israelites or Jews taking part in the project. Try convincing the Zionists of this
                    fact.

                    Reference?

                    This puts the date of their completion some nine hundred years before the
                    time of Ysuf (P)! This information can be found quite easily on the internet, or in books
                    dealing with Egyptology.

                    Why not properly cite it?

                    Finally, we find the terms Qrn and Hmn, both of which are obviously personal
                    names mentioned alongside Farawn {And We had sent Moses with Our signs,
                    and a clear authority * To Farawn, Hmn, and Qrn. But they said A
                    lying deceiver} Mentioning two proper nouns in the same sentence,
                    53
                    and in the same context, alongside a title, is both logically and linguistically unsound. For
                    example, if we say Joe, Mack, and King are walking in the castle garden, it would
                    seem that King is a proper noun. If it was a title, the sentence would have to be stated
                    as such Joe, Mack and the king are walking in the castle garden. By the same logic, if
                    Farawn was a title, it would not appear in the same sentence with two proper nouns
                    (Hmn and Qrn) without the prefix al- (the).

                    And who are Human and Qar'un? Why the Qur'an mentions them? Keep in mind that the Sura 40 starts with letters Ha-Miim, maybe it wants to point at something?

                    4024 may as well speak of That which is to/to Uncover/Loose (Firawn, root Fa-Ra-Ayn) Concealed/Taken (Haman, root ha-Miim-Nun) Glory/Power (Qarun, root Qaf-Ra-Nun) indicate to the journey/travel/caravan /lasting deception.

                    The authors of this diatribe are agressively focused at particular subject of their narrow interest, yet do not even bother uncovering the deception of their personal object of worship. How can this be regarded as objective? Needless to say only conspirological flat earth freaks like Sam Gerrans will spread stuff like that.

                      But he is against "Muslim" tradition, didn't you check the preface? Also check for references in page 121.

                        I do not make a wide distinction between the Quran alone and traditional Muslims as of late. For me the term means something unrelated to one's ideology. Given the fact that he adds (P) after the traditional names like Yusuf or Mo is enough for me to conclude on his stance.

                        He is against traditional History, yet he adhers to the traditional research background, whih makes him accept some portion of the history in order to mock the other, which is hypocrisy.

                          Also check for references in page 121.

                          It is a bs list of reference

                          1. Books
                            The Qur?n
                            The Old Testament

                            La Cite D?Isis - Histoire Vraie des Arabes - Pierre Rossi (1976)
                            Palestine is not the Promised Land - Jameel Effarah (2002)
                            The Invention of the Jewish People - Shlomo Sand (2009)

                          The Old Testament is an abstract definition. Which books of the OT is he speaking of? Just Exodus or some other? What is the exact timeframe of Musa, Ibrahim and the Exodus timeline?

                          The rest of the books could be cited for specific pages in them. Futher he gives a long list of websites of dubious information and research.

                            Wait hold on, just because the author added (P) on the names of Yusuf & Muhammad, you assumed that he has traditional background? Sorry if i made a mistake but that is bit odd to do that.

                              If you read the entire 122 pages of the book, you may have your answer.

                                Well, yes, and it is quite objective, but I also made an error while typing fast. What I meant, and I've already edited my post, is "he adhers to the traditional research background", what I mean is that in order to refute the Egypt-Palestinian thesis, he has to adher to another even more dubious one, which I suppose is Yemeni theory.

                                  If you read the entire 122 pages of the book, you may have your answer.

                                  I am sure I won't simply judging from the brief 30-minute analysis of the content I made above. If you have read the entire 122 pages of the book, then please cite me speicific pages where he proves what I requested, i.e. how a wild Arabic tribe (later titled as bani Yisraeli) acquired such a powerful religion. He might also want to speculate on how the wild South Arabians acquired Islam..

                                    Well, yes, and it is quite objective, but I also made an error while typing fast. What I meant, and I've already edited my post, is "he adhers to the traditional research background", what I mean is that in order to refute the Egypt-Palestinian thesis, he has to adher to another even mroe dubious one, which I suppose is Yemeni.

                                    But how is it dubious if you have not read the entire e-books? Heck i haven't yet done because i am on page 26 on the "hebrew" deception.

                                      Because I am familiar with primary outlines of this thesis, without reading the book. I know a person who introduced me some of the concepts of this theory before. Again, question "when?" and "where?" are of lesser imporance, what is of primary imporance to me is "how?"

                                        Primary outlines? What do you mean by that exactly? And about "when", "where" & "how, well they are important to me.

                                          But if you are not interested in reading the e-books then that is fine by me. Salam/Peace group
