http//www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/cadbury/quran-manuscript/index.aspxLink does not work, but i know this manuscript; no chapter 2 in this manuscript.
Takes one earliest manuscript to show spelling was consistent/same.
Not all manuscripts are published online.
Hence proof that spelling in chap 2 was "changed" 100+ years later.
Therefore, it is a pointless argument only shows evolution of script.
peace!
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.

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

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.

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.

Whats your understanding of implications of these two different spellings of Ibrahim in Quran.
Sura 2, can be considered as earlier pages of Quran in which the spelling is different than later Suras. The earlier pages of Ibrahim are referred as 'Suhuf ul Oola' in 8618-19. However, not sure what the implication could be. Will appreciate if you have done some work on it, which you can share. -

This is my understanding so far, i could be wrong.
The most important is what God says about the preservation of the Qur'an
LiteralWord by Word
159 Indeed, We We have sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We of it (are) surely Guardians.
4141 Indeed, those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it comes to them. And indeed, it (is) surely a Book mighty.
4142 Not comes to it the falsehood from before it and not from behind it. A Revelation from (the) All-Wise, (the) Praiseworthy.8521 Nay! It (is) a Quran Glorious,
8522 In a Tablet, Guarded.Muhammad Asad
159 Behold, it is We Ourselves who have bestowed from on high, step by step, this reminder? and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it .
4141 Verily, they who are bent on denying the truth of this reminder as soon as it comes to them - for, behold, it is a sublime divine writ
4142 no falsehood can ever attain to it openly, and neither in a stealthy manner, bestowed from on high by One who is truly wise, ever to be praised.8521 Nay, but this is a discourse sublime,
8522 upon an imperishable tablet .M. M. Pickthall
159 Lo! We, even We, reveal the Reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian.
4141 Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto them (are guilty), for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture.
4142 Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise8521 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.
8522 On a guarded tablet.Yusuf Ali
159 We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
4141 Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us). And indeed it is a Book of exalted power.
4142 No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.8521 Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an,
