      My concern with that comparison of the bible is a small detail.
      Abram and Abraham according to the bible was the before and after submission names.
      In Surah 2 it seems the name is addressing Abraham after the change. So I am not sure the comparison with the bible makes sense?
      As for the difference in spelling,you are right,there is a difference.
      GOD bless.
      Peace.

        In chapter 2 the word Ibrahim is written IBRHM in 12 verses ( 15 times ) and in the rest of the quran it is written IBRHIM in 51 verses (54 times ) in 24 chapters, in the Quran we have today ( 114 chapters and 6236 verses ).

        There must be a motivation, source to write the word " IBRHM " in chapter 2,
        and " IBRHIM " the rest of the Qur'an.

        In this manuscript in chapter 2 the word Ibrahim is also spelled IBRHM

            Somebody asked you to give the ayas where the abrahaam appears. Could you do that?

                  DO YOU PEOPLE HONESTLY READ THE QURAN OR JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH ONLINE FOR EVERYTHING WHEN YOUVE GOT THE BOOK IN YOUR OWN HOME AND AT THE MOSQUE. MAYBE ITS EASIER FOR ME TO REALISE SINCE ARABIC IS MY NATIVE LANGUAGE. BUT ANYBODY WHO LOOKS AT THE QURAN WORD FOR WORD WILL NOTICE DIFFERENCES. THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGES OF THE QURAN. ITS NOT A COINSIDENCE THAT ONLY IN CHAPTER 2 SPECIFICALLY THERE IS NO 'Y'. IF THERE WAS ANY PROOF OF CHANGES THEN I WOULD EXPECT HOW IBRAHEEM AND ABRAHM IS SPELLED TO BE IN AT LEAST 1 AYA TOGETHER IN ANY OF THE MENTIONED SURAH. THE INTERNET SEEMS TO BE THIS UMMAHS QURAN WHILE THE SCRIPTURE SITS HOME UNREAD.

                    It doesn't make sense to change the spelling only in chapter 2 (15 occurrences ) and not in the rest of the Quran ( 54 occurrences ).

                      IN THE HOLY QURAN I HAD NOTICED AND LATER RESEARCHED THAT ONLY IN SURAH AL-BAQARAH IBRAHEEM IS SPELLED AS (ABRAHAAM) WHILST IN THE OTHER SURAH'S HE IS ONLY MENTIONED AS IBRAHEEM. THERE IS A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH STAGES I FIND THIS INTEREESTING.

                      Peace tulipred-muslima,

                      What is your point?

                          Here is copy paste from quranexplorer.com

                          In 2124-140 it appears 10 times as . There is a "Y" on top of the word which shows there used to be a "Y" and for some unknown reasons to me they stopped using "Y" in the word in Sura Baqra but continued in other suras. Why they chose to do that is a mystery to me.

                            Thank you, I mayhave missed that. Already everything seems too small when I look, if I did not expect to see that sweet little fantom Y no onder I mssed it. I'll check. Thank you. This is a bit like amputation, they say, that you still feel the member you lost even if it is not there.

                              It doesn't make sense to change the spelling only in chapter 2 (15 occurrences ) and not in the rest of the Quran ( 54 occurrences ).

                              They did it 100+ years later; how many examples old manuscripts do you need -- one should suffice?

                              Sana manuscript 2nd century!

                              DO YOU PEOPLE HONESTLY READ THE QURAN OR JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH ONLINE FOR EVERYTHING WHEN YOUVE GOT THE BOOK IN YOUR OWN HOME AND AT THE MOSQUE. MAYBE ITS EASIER FOR ME TO REALISE SINCE ARABIC IS MY NATIVE LANGUAGE. BUT ANYBODY WHO LOOKS AT THE QURAN WORD FOR WORD WILL NOTICE DIFFERENCES. THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGES OF THE QURAN. ITS NOT A COINSIDENCE THAT ONLY IN CHAPTER 2 SPECIFICALLY THERE IS NO 'Y'. IF THERE WAS ANY PROOF OF CHANGES THEN I WOULD EXPECT HOW IBRAHEEM AND ABRAHM IS SPELLED TO BE IN AT LEAST 1 AYA TOGETHER IN ANY OF THE MENTIONED SURAH. THE INTERNET SEEMS TO BE THIS UMMAHS QURAN WHILE THE SCRIPTURE SITS HOME UNREAD.

                              peace!

                                  Thanks brother Noon for confirming that "Y" was used in the oldest mushaf. No confusion there. They are still writing 'Y' on top of "Ibrahm. Mystery is why they changed spelling only in Sura Baqra.

                                    I think we have to remember that in aciente times there as no printing press, so all copies ere done by hand. If someone made a mistake somwhere along the copy, and if the material was expensive and realised she or he missed the "Y", rather thna throw away the whole copy, to insert the Y somehow was a solution. May be someone was in a hurry to have the copy...

                                    Many manuscripts, even legal, were so corrected in older times and provided they observed all the means of asserting the authenticity were valid.

                                    Of course, by now, I think that there being no doubt as to the real content e could in printing, have reverted to the Y in its proper place.

                                      I think you are correct. There had been people who memorized Quran. I have checked few current recitations and as I expected, they are reciting Ibraheema which proves brother Noon's point that oldest Quran used "Y" in sura baqra. Written copies have mistake which was corrected by placing "Y" on top of the word but reciters have been reciting correctly as "Ibraheem".

                                        In itself, I think, bearing in mind all that, that the transmission and conservation of Qur'an through the centuries given the means and the extension and the upheavals and accidnets that there always are, I consider it a formidable achievement, and as much as we may sometimes criticise decadence and deviations of muslims, this one feat is really a miracle if we are goig to believe in miracles. I don't, that is, I believe so much in miracles that I am convinced that everything, absolutely everything is a miracle, but the conservation of Qur'an is an outstanding miracle. Subhanallah.

                                          you say that there is a Y on top of ibrahm or abrahm in Chapter 2,these marks and diacritics are not considered added letters they are just to guide people into pronunciations of words and how they sound. in chapter 2 there is no 'ya" with 2 dots on bottom which is why its spelt as ibrahm abrahm. while it's spelt with two dots in the other chapters that he is mentioned in which makes it IBRAHEEM. READ THE TWO DIFFERENT NAMES WITHOUT THE ADDED MARKS AND DIACRITICS thats how i noticed the difference to begin with.

                                          Abraham without the is only found in SURAH AL BAQARAH and Ibraheem with a is in every other surah i stated.
