    And when, on their visiting you saw them, their apparent worldly position/wealth and status seemed to you exotic/astounding,
    And if they speak, you should carefully listen for their statement -
    To find that it is loose and week/they are like cankered, empty from within wood pieces made to stand with support of some structure.
    They apprehend/think that every sound blast will effect them.
    They are the enemy, therefore, you remain cautious of them
    Allah the Exalted has condemned them. How are they deluded by conjectural falsification

      No, you did not explain and took a verse out of context implied that the phrase ka-annahum khushubun musannadatun that it refers to running into some group of people speaking a non-existent Arabic language and confused it with an ancient script. Never mentioned hadith showed 634 in full context of whole chapter that it is about hypocrites in general and showed for benefit of others examples for ka-annahum/like they; not some non-existed Arabic musnad language-speaking group of people as you claimed.

      Peace Noon...

      I m not going to force you to believe. It shows clearly you have no interest in reading what i have written. Btw, its you who read the Quran out of context by following those moronic sectarian clergy and i dont blame you for not comprehending this garbage language. If this Arabic version Quran were in Musnad, it will be easier to comprehend!

      6304 explicitly shows who the hypocrites were, the people, their speech and their writings.

      And when you see them, YOU WONDER THEIR PERSONALITY AND WHEN THEY SPEAK, YOU LISTEN TO THEIR SPEECH. Indeed they were MUSNAD WOOD. They reckon all vociferate is on them...

      compare with these ridiculous sectarian translation

      634 and when sees thou them impressed you ajsmuhum/corporeal theirs and if speak they of hear/listen to speech theirs ka-annahum/like they khushubun/wood beams musannadatun/propped up calculating/thinking each shout against them themselves the enemy so beware them fight/perish them the god surely how deluding

      Why on earth should those munafiqs impressed the Prophet? Than the Prophet listen to their speech and their speech is like wood and propped up rotfl

      peace

            Peace Hizbullah,

            Hypocrites appear 32 times in Qur'an and can be anyone. It does not say they "were" rather ka-annahum "they are like" which is a comparison hence your translation makes no sense in or out of context.

              Look whos talking......The scenerio of the Quran is Arabia. Hypocrites appear 32 times in Qur'an refer to the hypocrites among the Arabs. ka-annahum is in perfect tense.

              it is not for you to decide what language the Quran was written or when it was sent down or how old it was! Let the Quran speak for itself. Its all in the Quran. You need to do through research and not be a blind follower!

              You can carry on with your ridiculous translation which is out of context and makes no sense at all.

              Conclusion

              THE OLDEST ORIGINAL ARABIC QURAN WAS WRITTEN IN SOUTH ARABIAN MUSNAD----PERIOD

                    No, you did not provide a verse in Qur'an in Musnad script.

                      Quran 6304 it the proof. But offcourse, sectarian would always refute. Fyi what u show was old musnad. By the 3rd Century, the Musnad script evolved into cursive Musnad.

                            Sorry, my brother, but i see not how msndh in 63411 underpins your conclusion !

                            In my book, when the post-qurnic diacritization are taken out the textus receptus, you get a North-Arabian, Nabatean/Aramean lingua ? starting with the very first qurnic prep. phrase b-sm (&#1600.

                              Salam my brother hicham9...

                              In my book, when the post-qurnic diacritization are taken out the textus receptus, you get a North-Arabian, Nabatean/Aramean lingua ? starting with the very first qurnic prep. phrase b-sm (&#1600.

                              U r a knowledgeable and true Quranist. Please read below...

                              Peace Brother Wakas

                              Thank you for your reply

                              Below are the evidences....

                              http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9606373.0

                              http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9607488.0

                              First off, Nabatean was never an Arabic language. In fact even up till today, the people of the Levant never consider themselves as Arabs. There are thousands of stele found in the Levant, from Syria to down south Jordan, with Nabatean inscription compare to Syriac which actually derives from Nabatean and not the other way round. Parthian, Middle Persian, Khawarimian, Soghdian - all contains Huzwaresh, which means words that were Nabatean in origin. Anyone within that area would be able to comprehend these languages.

                              The Arabic of the Quran was tailored by the Arabs of AlHira by combining these two languages, Musnad and Nabatean, into one which is known today as Arabic using its first script, Jazm. So that is why you can find many so called Syriac words which is actually Nabatean in the Quran!

                              These occurred during the Arabization of the Middle East by the Arabs under Queen Maviya in the late 4th century / early 5th Century. Queen Maviya was the predecessor of Bani Ummayah or better known as Bani Umm Maviya - Children of Mother Maviya.

                                Peace -- another early text was kind of shorthand and every 10 verses scribe kept checksum.

                                  According to Professor Peter Stein - University of Jena, Germany, who is the world expert on ASA; this script was made sometime in the end of 3rd Century CE and the correct rendering of the ancient text is that it is a legal document which states that a certain amount (the actual number has been left open) of Sorghum has been granted by A MAN TO FOUR WOMEN.

                                  Quranic verse 0403 - 04 sound VERY SIMILAR. Now, if this is the case, how come in the 3rd Century, such Quranic law was initiated in South Arabia?

                                  What say you?

                                      Peace Noon,

                                      So base on Professor Peter Stein interpretation, the text seems to show alms / charity towards the women. It also seems to be very similar to the Quran 0403....If suppose the word NIKAH is not part of Q0403 - ? the Quranic verse sound like??

                                      And if you fear that you cannot distribute in the orphans, what seems suitable you all of the women, two or three or four, so that you fear you cannot be just, then one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline.

                                      If you read further verse 0404, there is no word "dowry" but instead it mentions "charity".

                                      Q0404 - And give the women their alms / charity graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.

                                      Now, if this is the case, 0403 ? 0404, did not render the marriage of orphans among the women but instead to give charity to the women, affordable to the donor, 2, 3 or 4 women, but if he / she cannot afford than 1 is enough.

                                      The reason why i believe the word "NIKAH" was indoctrinated is that if someone fear because he could not provide or distribute some things than that means he is lack of financial or other means of support. Than how can he marries 2 or 3 or 4 women? This will put more burden on him considering if he already has a wife to support.

                                      Furthermore, the 1st sentence of this Chapter starting with the word "Oh Mankind" referring to both men and women who are / were the audience.

                                      I believe the verses 0403-04 have something to do with charity. If you read further verses 05 and 06, it tells us to take care of the orphans / singles property until their marriageable age. The ancient cursive Musnad text does provide prove of Quranic Law used, pertaining to distribution of charity to 4 single women in the 3rd / 4th Century CE.

                                      Note Whatever i have written is base only on the results of my own research.

                                        201 ta ha -- clearly not counted in two earliest known manuscripts and suspect numbering system was for scribes to keep a checksum.

                                          Peace -- an update on this manuscript is as today slight difference in that the scribe kept a different verse count/checksum every ten verses "heavy red dots" so there is an extra verse count in chapter 27 and one less in other chapters like chapter 20 (see earlier posts) and chapter 36 where initials are not counted as separate verses.
