    I strongly believe that the book was sent down as-is which is in current form.
    Without aayat numbers and without any diacritics no one exist in the world who can understand it.

    Peace mmKhan,

    This is reported to be the oldest Qur'an...

    The investigated Qur?an manuscript with the signature MA VI 165
    http//www.commdiginews.com/world-news/middle-east/worlds-oldest-quran-discovered-and-may-be-linked-to-imam-ali-30011/

    WASHINGTON, November 19, 2014 ? Researchers from the Project Coranica at the University Library in T?bingen, Germany have discovered a copy of the Quran that may be the oldest in the world, dating to within 20-40 years of the death of Islam?s Prophet Muhammad. The copy of the Quran, dubbed Ma VI 165 by scientists, appears in the famous ?Kufic script?, popularized by Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib who moved the center of the Islamic government to Kufa in the after being elected as ?Caliph? in 656 AD. The manuscript ?with a 95.4% statistical probability can be dated to the period between Ad 649 -675,? according to Medieval Histories Magazine.

      How people are sure that quran was dated about year 649, while I saw the book looks not old enoug. I saw older manuscript and its color was brown, that is animal skin paper would be when it was old enough, and if it was paper, it absolutely impossible to be preserved for 1400 years, it gonna be destroyed, esp. when met with water.

      And also, what about the quran passed down time to time holded by the sunni? It could be from the original quran while the quran found above posibly quran which is not completed. Dont you know caligraphy was popular on the quran copy years ago? Why youre so sure if that quran is not a personal journal which was accidentaly preserved?

      Anyone can convince me why that picture was called the oldest quran?

        Please do some search about presevation of Quran and its text developement. It took place over almost three centuries and earlier Muslims had no problem with it and discussed openly. I personally have no problem with it. Once I am able to discern that Allah does not mean "One and only deity for worship" rather the opposite "One who is not at all a deity for worship". This is how it should been preserved, when later is the true meanings of Allah.

        However, preservation process still does not bar one from understanding Quran. Because the available archieves of its language are with all Haarkat and Saknaat as well Araabs. In fact it would be impossible to understand Quran based upon language using the old manuscripts.

          Kindly start reading about morphology in Arabic. Your foundation is based on wrong understanding.

          Third person masculine singular verb is derived from a Verbal Noun. Thereat, most of remaining tenses are made from this tense,

          Similarly the third person acive voice singular masculine primary imperfect verb is derived from active voice past tense.

          Dear Mazhar, I am still waiting to learn more and I am ready to ditch all books. Please share examples where verb is derived from Verbal noun. Please share your precious referance book of Classic Arabic knowledge.

          Regards,

              Thanks Dear Mazhar for the link. I will take an indepth look. But at a causual look it appears to me this guy has no idea what he is talking about. There is no known literature or published books (besides this on-line PDF form) available where authors indicate that Musdar or verbal nouns are not derived from three letter verb roots. Furthermore, all lexicons are arranged as three letter verb roots.

              So how do you know this guy is talking from authentic resources?

              Regards

                Lexicons are not morphology books.
                You mix up things. Root does not mean "verb roots". Verbs are the subject of morphology. Root is sort of a semantic frame.
                Take little time reading the book. Then google you might get more books on Arabic morphology.

                  Thanks Mazhar, I took a look at your obscure and unique claiming PDF book from an unknown guy without any know references for his claim. Please take look at this Morphology book which agrees with what I know about the subject and you disagree based upon the reference you provided.

                    Both the books I have thoroughly studied, they say the same thing. Verbs are made from verbal noun.

                      Dear Mazhar, just re-read pages 18 and 19 in this book. Ones does not need more in order to find that, the claim "Verbs are made from Verbal noun" , itself is an Oxymoron.

                        Dear, your problem is that you let not enter your brains the statement of others. You take it inside polluting it with your preconceived understanding. These pages told you about three types of nouns. Again read about "Masdar"-verbal noun.

                          Dear Mazhar, What is preconceived notion/understanding? It is an opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence.

                          My preconceived notion was that Allah means "One and only deity for worship"

                          Based upon understanding and evidence of the language. I understand Allah now to mean "One who is not at all a deity for worship".

                          http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9599853.msg237622#msg237622

                          This understanding is on this very site as well on the net for almost 5 years now. All believers of Allah, as "one and only deity for worship" need to do is to just prove one step based upon correct reference as wrong. In order, to prove all of it, to be wrong. However, they are unable to do, due being stuck on their preconceived notions.

                            We were talking about verbal noun-Masdar.

                              Dear, we were but instead of giving concrete examples of how a verbal noun can exists without having a verb first and also be called as a verbal noun. Which by its name suggest that which word should be deriven from which word. You as usual started to bring pre-concieved notions.

                              Care refuting the linguistic break down of Allah? Come on it has been on this site for 5 years now. You know all the language.

                                You insisted that verbal nouns are made from verbs.

                                I said verbs are made from verbal noun.

                                You called it obscure and unique claim and refuted a book.

                                You referred a book claiming it is authentic which supports your opinion.

                                I said read that book again, it also says verbal nouns are made from verbs.

                                Now you go back to so called morphology analysis by you about Allah.

                                  Peace brother,

                                  We are able to read this because we already have a copy of alQuraan to relate to. A person who don't know what alQuraan is and he never saw this book cannot read or understand. And my Lord cannot send such book specially as a guidance?

                                  As I said earlier those who made up hadith to keep future people away from alQuraan, the same people played tricks with alQuraan and made some copies without diacritics. So that future generations will have a doubt in the Book of Allah. And this is what is happening now, unfortunately.

                                  Finding that copy of alQuraan may confirm its carbon dating but you should understand why Allah send such book? And I strongly believe that no one on earth is so perfect to add diacritics so precisely and perfectly into the Book. Allah book for guidance means it should be same for all older generations and future generations.

                                  May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr
                                  mmKhan
