    @ brother noon send me a link of these pages i mean where i can find whole quran.. in the same sequence.. thanx in advance,,

    Peace imrankhawaja,

    The manuscript 155 pages or ~1/4 of Qur'an (ch17v36 - ch36v55) download best result 132Mb link below...

    http//idb.ub.uni-tuebingen.de/diglit/MaVI165

    It takes a bit getting used to although after translating numerous pages it gets easier.

    Did you reach a conclusion about 2215 when you checked the photo's of the old manuscript ? What is your conclusion on it ? I can't help you with this because I have no Arabic knowledge, sadly.

    Peace Dakhan,

    No, script is fairly consistent with modern text except for verse numbering e.g. initialed chapters are single verse, etc.

    One simply needs to read context it's obvious not telling those on the edge of faith to extend a rope hang themselves?

    Likewise ask in context of the verses prior and following who exactly does "him" refer to other than back to who?

    2215 who be that think that never supports him the god

    Likewise ask how/why this word is translated as rope? by/with ?
    1884 surely we established we for him in the land and gave him from each thing means/course of
    2644 so threw they of ropes theirs and staffs theirs and say they of by might Firaun/Pharaoh surely we surely we the dominating
    1115 on neck hers cord/rope from palm fiber

    Therefore ...

    2214 surely the god enter the ones believes they of and do they of the righteous works gardens flow from underneath it the springs surely the god does what intends
    2215 who be that think that never supports him the god in the world and the afterlife so surely/let extends by means/course to the sky/heaven furthermore let him cutoff so let sees shall remove plan/disposition his what raged
    2216 and like such have descended we it signs clear and that the god guides whom intends

                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

                                    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 ىركم yarākum/seeth you (plural) same as in examples below...

                                    2440 ىرها yarāhā/seeth it
                                    26218 ىرك yarāka/seeth you (singular)

                                    The images are gone. You might wanna find it again.
