Quranic Corrections Ep. 6 - Changes to Quran Manuscripts Around the World


CIRA International
Published on Aug 3, 2019

We continue in this episode by highlighting four more examples of the 20
Corrections he has offered in his book.

Example 6: Here, we have an example of multiple Post-Production Insertions, found in a manuscript from the Museum of
Islamic Art, Doha (MS.67.2007.1).

These insertions are located in Surah 5:93. The phrase “wa-ʿamilū
al-ṣāliḥāt thumma attaqū wa āmilū” has been inserted between the lines.
Except for the first wa āmilū the rest could be a copyist error, which
then had to be re-written into the text, and above the line, at a later
date.

Al fadi also notes that the wa-ʿamilū al-ṣāliḥāt is also inserted to
reflect a common repetitive phrase which is found throughout the Qur’an,
which means “believed and did good deeds”. Yet, by adding it the whole
phrase now supports today’s ‘Hafs’ text.

In the next line down, the initial ʿalif of احسنوا ʿ aḥsanū “do good”
(imperative, 3rd pl.), written in red, was omitted when it was first
written, and was then added later, but in red ink. The reason? ‘Ahsanu’
can be written without the Alif, but it then means “improve”. With the
alif added it now becomes “do good”.

This same red ink was used for the diacritical dots added at a later
date, proving that this ‘alif was added at this later date. Both of
these insertions now correspond with the current ‘Hafs’ text, proving
human intervention.

Example 7: In this example, taken from the Petropolitanus
Manuscript in Paris, France (BnF arabe 327, fol.ir.), we have an
insertion of the words “The Seven” above the line in Surah 23:86-87.

The words السبع alsabʿi “the seven” were added by a later scribe in
Surah 23:86. Formerly it used to say, “Say: ‘Who is the Lord, the Lord
of the Great Throne?’” which is a perfectly good phrase. Now it reads,
“Say: ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Great
Throne?’”

As such it now agrees with the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text. But more importantly,
there is a theological difference as well. By adding ‘the seven’, the
text now matches what Muhammad said when he went up to the 7 heavens
during the night of the ‘Mi’raj’, which some Muslims try to attribute to
Surah 17:1, referring to Muhammad going up from the ‘Great Mosque’ (i.e.
Mecca), to the ‘Farthest Mosque’ (i.e. Jerusalem). The problem with this
view is that there were no Muslims in Jerusalem at all in 621 AD when
this would have taken place, and thus no mosque could have existed there
that early.

Nonetheless, if the 7 heavens is to be attributed to the Mi’raj, than
this poses a further historical problem, because that story is first
introduced in the Hadith and the Tafsir, which aren’t created until
after 870 AD, or the late 9th century, suggesting that this correction
would have to be post 9th century, since this manuscript is from the 8th
century.

In Surah 23:87 we find another insertion, this time of the letter ʾalif
which has been inserted in front of the word lillāhi “Allah’s”. Note
that it has been written with a narrower nib, proving it was added later
by another scribe. Yet, this ‘alif is not found in the modern 1924
‘Hafs’ text, suggesting that the correction goes against that text, and
was created only by that later scribe.

Example 8: In this example, again taken from the
Petropolitanus Manuscript in Paris, France (BnF arabe 330, fol. 55r.),
we find an erasure has subsequently been overwritten in Surah 4:149.

Originally it used to say fa-inna illāha ʿafurān qadiran, which means,
“so surely Allah Forgiving, Powerful”, which doesn’t make sense.
Currently, the word allāh (“Allah”) of Q4:149 has been replaced by
allāhu kāna, which means “Allah is”, employing an erasure, and then
overwriting it. By adding “is” the sentence now agrees with the 1924
‘Hafs’ text, and also makes sense.

Example 9: Another example taken from the Petropolitanus
Manuscript (BnF arabe 327, fol. 12v.), this time from Surah 42:5, we
find an insertion above the line, with the words ‘The Merciful’.
Interestingly, these words الرحيم al-raḥīm “the Merciful” were omitted
in the original, and have now been added at a later time.

Originally, it said “And Allah is the Forgiving”. With the insertion it
now says “And Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful”. This, not only
smooths out the reading of the text, it also now corresponds to the 1924
‘Hafs’ text.

But, intriguingly, this is part of the ‘Bismillah’ which is found in the
‘Fatiha’, the very first verse of the first chapter of the Qur’an, a
chapter which often doesn’t exist in many of the earliest Qur’anic
manuscripts. Could this be an example of introducing the Bismillah and
redacting it into an earlier manuscript? We don’t know, but it certainly
could be.

In conclusion, the question needs to be asked why these corrections
haven’t been noticed or published before by Muslim scholars, and why has
it taken an American scholar to be the first to uncover these thousands
of later corrections, and then subsequently publish them?

Under what circumstance is it permitable for a bunch of unethical warmongers to be claiming to know anything about virtousness.

Instead of the Arabians to concentrate on apologising to Africans for all the looting, stealing, so-called 'holy war', that are infact part of the evil Arabian crusades of their recent past; they're there peddling falsity and fakery.



The Arab-muslims won't apologize because they are following the sunnah of their prophet, and his companions, who enslaved blacks and pillage other people's land and property all in the name of religion. If the arab-muslims apologize, they technically make their profit Mohammed guilty of war crime hence they will not.

I guess the European Christians and the Arab Christians (among other Christian slave traders) really do not need to apologize for enslaving others in Jesus' name. Since the "Holy Bible" welcomes slavery.

grin


However, to avoid not adding something substantial to your knowledge base:

I like to inform you that the idea of an Arab Slave Trade has been demonstrated by the prominent historian and passionate Pan-Africanist Professor Walter Rodney to be a historical misnomer.

He argued that the "bilateral trade agreements between myriad ethnic groups across the proposed 'Zanj trade network' characterized much of the acquisition process of chattel, and more often than not indentured servants."

He alternatively referred to the trade, in his "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa", as the East African Slave Trade or the Indian Ocean Slave Trade.

Professor Walter Roodney's PhD dissertation focused on the slave trade on the Upper Guinea Coast.

And it was published by the Oxford University Press in 1970 under the title: "A History of the Upper Guinea Coast 1545-1800", and was widely acclaimed for its originality in challenging the conventional wisdom on the topic.

The 1st video noted that "human errors were inescable". So, that means there were human errors.

The 2nd does not show any debunking. The DCCI Team pointed out a number of differences between the versions. The video NEVER showed that there were no differences in the letters of the different versions.

The 3rd video commentary equally stated that there could be "scribal mistakes which are not uncommon ..." So, again ERROR is still claimed.

Your ignorance is very major, thick and knack. But I suspect that it is self-inflicted because of your foregoing misrepresentations which is obviously deliberate and strategic. I think you should apply to be one of Jay Smith's minions, you are well qualified. cheesy

Now to your misrepresentations and spinnings:

(1) The first video was a refutation of Brubaker's claim that he has found manuscript evidence which shows that the copies of the Qur'an available today contains an insertion (of the word "Allah" in a particular spot) and which thus makes today's copies of the Qur'an different from what the Qur'an was originally intended to be.

(a) They claimed that the manuscript evidence shows that a particular verse of the Qur'an does not contain the word "Allah" and that we find this word "Allah" in that verse in today's copies of the Qur'an.

(b) They then concluded that this manuscript evidence is an example of what the Qur'an was originally meant to be, and that the presence of the word "Allah" in that spot in today's copies of the Qur'an is a later insertion and thus an alteration/deviation from what the Qur'an should originally have been.

(c) This lie (of later 'insertion') was disproven and refuted in the video by one single fact namely:

The tons of manuscripts prior to that specific one, and around the same time as that specific one, which all contain the word "Allah" in that particular spot of that verse.

(d) The brother thus show clearly that that instance in that one lone manuscript is a clear example of a scribal discrepancy which obviously did not survive because the tons of manuscripts which followed from thence up until the copies of the Qur'an we have today all contain the word "Allah" in that spot just like the tons of manuscripts prior to and around the same time as that specific lone manuscript under consideration.

(e) This specific scribal discrepancy was spotted and hence did not survive that lone manuscript into subsequent manuscripts as well as into our present-day copies of the Qur'an. We, therefore, find this as an important example of the fulfilment of God's promise to preserve the Qur'an.

(f) In other words, Brubaker's claim; that the absence of the word "Allah" in that spot of that lone manuscript is not a case of a scribal slip but an actual example of what today's copies of the Qur'an was originally intended to be; thus gets demolished and crushed.



(2) You lied again on the content of the second video. The well-known liars (that is, Jay Smith and his minions) claimed that they have two copies of the Qur'an which at the same spot reads different words and have different meanings.

The refutation shows clearly (while citing numerous Western orientalists) that the two copies employ two different Arabic font styles for writing exactly the same thing.

It was shown clearly (while citing numerous Western orientalists) that an untrained reader of Arabic will always misunderstand the Arabic letter "Q" if it is written in the Moroccan Arabic font style known as Maghribi.

And this is because the Arabic letter "Q", if written using the Maghribi font style, appears as though it is the Arabic letter "F" of other popular Arabic font styles.

A trained reader knows better than to dive into the text of the Qur'an without first getting acquainted with the introductory page which details out the font style, etc.

Hence, the lame and ignorant argument --- by Jay Smith's minions --- of two different words and two different meanings in the two respective copies of the Quran viz. the supposed/alleged "SadaFa" in the copy written with the Morrocan font style, and the "SadaQa" in the popular font style.


The simple reality is that both read as "Sadaqa". I didn't expect ignoramus like Jay Smith, Hatun, or the other guy to know this. But I do expect the several Western experts whom Mansur cited to know it.

And as has been shown, they did demonstrate their expertise because they all prove to be very knowledgeable and adept at the different Arabic font styles including the Morrocan Maghribi.


Just to illustrate further --- in case you have absolutely no idea of Arabic --- something similar to this is found in English font styles, where for instance:

The English upper-case letter "K" in certain font styles, may appear to an untrained reader (e.g. a Chinese who only cursorily knows English) as though it is the upper-case letter "R" of other popular font styles.

Or where the English lower-case letter "L" in certain font styles, may appear to an untrained reader as though it is the lower-case letter "E" of other popular font styles.

Or even where the English lower-case letter "V" in certain font styles may appear to an untrained reader as though it is the lower-case letter "U" of other popular font styles.

Be guided!



(3) The third video shows the demolition of Jay Smith's and his minion's claim that the word "his brother" in a specific spot in the Qur'an was not present in that spot in prior copies of the Qur'an until in the copies of the Quran from the year 1924 onwards.

All that Mansur Ahmed needed to do to demolish the false claim was to provide just one extant manuscript of the Qur'an dating to at least 1923 and containing the words "his brother" in that particular spot.

Guess what, he not only provided a 1923 copy but actually provided several ancient manuscripts of the Qur'an some which dated to the earliest centuries of Islam, and all of which actually contains the words "his brother" in that spot. cheesy


Watch all the videos again, but this time with your eyes, your ears, and your mind open; perhaps you will kill your thick ignorance.

May God bless your willfully ignorant soul.

You should read up on the logical fallacy known as contextomy

In fact, the fact that you had to desperately resort to commiting the fallacy of contextomy is itself sufficient proof that you got the point.

Responses I've heard on this channel:
1. That's an inauthentic source!
2. Weak hadith!
3. The Quran is perfectly preserved from memory through the generations (ignore the evidence otherwise)
4. Yes there are manuscript variants but that doesn't matter because...memory.

If the Quran is not perfectly preserved why then the quran is ONLY book in the face of the earth people memorized from cover to cover ? Most people who memorize it whom native language is not Arabic have you thought of this ? you will find 7 years old memorize the entire Quran and also 80 years old man memorize it from cover to cover without single mistake. Well I haven't seen any book in the world that people memorize from cover to cover ever. This why the believe Quran is miracle and must be from God. Allah in the Quran made a promise this book will be preserved and the promise is fulfilled. (Quran 15:9)

Perfect Preservation of the Quran is a Modern Invention

SOME MORE COMMENTS ON THE YOUTUBE SITE:
Ali Hassan:
They forget surah 100 ? what you mean ? The ayah eaten by sheep is fabrication and lie because anything clearly contradict the quarn Muslim don't take it even if it was from Sahia Albukary. Just like the story of the prophet did try to commit suicide which was fabrication.
Generally when a verse was revealed it was written down not by one or two companions but at least seven or more then that. If a goat had eaten a verse of Quran there might had been other copies of similar verses at that time...

Islam Critiqued:
It's a fabrication because it contradicts the Quran, which has been perfectly preserved. Ok, so you assume it's been perfectly preserved, and that assumption allows you to reject anything that conflicts with it....because it was perfectly preserved. That is a logical fallacy called "begging the question." I recommend not using that argument.
Also, Aisha didn't think it was contradicting the Quran, neither did any of the rest of the narrators. Neither did Imam Bukhari. So why should I take your word for it, over her's and Bukhari's? That's absurd!

This is a question about PROVING the Quran has been preserved. Which means, you don't get to operate on your own assumptions. Prove it. This video proves using very high authorities in Islam that the beliefs among early Muslims were not that the Quran was perfectly preserved, as they are today. The average Muslim would never say today the things that Bukhari, just to name one, recorded and his scholarly peers rated as "Sahih". Average Muslims today don't even know what their early sources say on this issue! Further, you have to deal with modern text critical work which shows a massive amount of textual variants among extant Quranic manuscripts: Kenneth Small, Dan Brubaker, Arthur Jeffrey, Dr. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and Dr. Tayyar Altıkulaç's to name a few.

So first, you need to dig through the Sahih (200 years after Muhammad I might add) and find evidence to support your theory of perfect preservation. You can't do it. Won't happen. I've been through every single hadith. Second, you need to refute all of the evidence among scholars for the thousands of textual variants in extant Quranic manuscripts. Or, you can simply give up the modern theory of perfect preservation, redefining it to something that fits the historical and manuscript evidence. (I recommend that option)

Perfect Preservation of the Quran is a Modern Invention

Ali Hassan:
Quran perfectly preserved this not my claim this is the Quranic clam itself. I just told you show me any book in the face of the earth that people can memorize like the Quran ? Quran has 114 surah with over 6000 verses with over 600 pages and memorized entirely by some kids and by some people with memory lost and dementia. This is perfect example of the preservation and this is convincing me since there is no book in the world memorized like the quran why should I dug deeper into the history since I have this live example in front of me.
Anything goes against and contradict the Quran even if from Imam imam al bukhari it will be rejected that how Islam works !!! this not my opinion and not my assumption this the top Muslim scholars opinion and early Muslims scholars opinion and also this what the quran say. Aisha didn't think it was contradicting the Quran? this is story which putting words in her mouth and the story developed by liars just like the story we have today about that she committed adultery so we don't take this story as true story because it contradict the Quran since the Quran said she is the righteous women. (Same as the story of Mary we have) Still Jewish today see her as adulterous woman but Quran said NO this lie.
You need to understand Quran was reveled in polytheism environment which was major threat for Idol worshipers so Prophet Muahmmed was preaching monotheism to polytheists leaders. So to stop him from advancing they had to come with so many lies to discredit him and protect their business (Idols). That is why you find many stories in Hadith and the only way to verify the authenticity of them we have to compare them to the Quran

Islam Critiqued:
The Quran claims to be perfectly preserved? How do you know the verses that claim it has been perfectly preserved were themselves perfectly preserved? Maybe they said something else?
If the Quran is so easy to remember, why did Muhammad forget?
114 Surat? Are you sure? Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn Ka'b had different numbers of Surat in their mushafs. This was a big argument in the early generations.
Also, your own academics don't even believe this. Even Shabir Ally has said that Muslims can't claim perfect preservation anymore. He's only been forced to do this by the manuscript evidence, and he'll be forced to concede a lot more.
So where are your early manuscripts of the Quran? Show me it's been preserved? Which Arabic Quran do you prefer? 51. Scholars have noted 31 different Qurans containing different arabic texts. These Qurans are attributed to students who lived in the 9th century who made their own texts. They total 56,667 differences in the standardized text. Out of these, the Hafs (died in 805) Quran was chosen in Al-Ahzar university and standardized in 1924. We do not currently have the Hafs manuscript, and none of the extant manuscripts agree entirely with the standardized text. In October of 2017, 7 different Hafs Qurans were discovered. And even these do not match.

Islam Critiqued:
So please sir, show me your perfectly preserved Quran from the time of Uthman, complete, with no textual variants. You can't.

Ali Hassan:
Read Surah 15:9 you will see (Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian) Ibn Mas'ud mushafs didn't have the first Surah of the Quran and the last 2 surah because since he recited them everyday in his daily prayers he thought those easy Surah just by memory not should be written down. But this matter has been address.
Muslims claim Quran perfect preservation and Muslim know there are variation of the reading this is not new to us Shabir Ally never said we have different in meaning or missing parts of it just the differentiates in the pronunciation that because of different Arab nations. The memorization of the entire Quran is something sacred in Islam. It helped the Quran remain error free from man's false documentation. I never come a cross any single Imam or any Muslim disagree about the meaning of the text of the Quran.
Do you know of the Fragments of what is to be the world's oldest Quran have been found in the University of Birmingham ? with experts saying the manuscripts date back to Prophet Muhammad era some 1370 years ago and which is identical to the Quran we have today. This should destroy all the arguments about and I never seen any Christian apologists criticize this except James white which he said ( I will not believe in this because I hear it from BBC news lol )

Islam Critiqued:
Ali Hassan you fail to address a single piece of evidence in this video or in my comments. You need to do this before I continue responding. Good luck.
Using the Quran to show the Quran has been perfectly preserved is a circular argument. The early Muslims’ beliefs and modern text criticism demonstrates the opposite. The Birmingham folio is a joke as I noted previously in my responses to you.
Again, you need to address the evidence I’ve presented, both ancient and modern, before I respond further. Good luck.

Ali Hassan:
You asked me to show you where quran claim preservation and I show you the verse right ? I already told you that there are no variances or missing parts in Quran. These are all false and baseless assumptions by some anti-Islamics No Muslim today believe in those argument you use in this video. All muslim with different sects have same quran.
You need to show me we have different Arabic quran today can you show me any variances in the original texts ? You need to challenge what we have today in the Quran not missing Quran eaten by Goat and turned to be lie. I don't critiqued gospels that were rejected by the church because it denying deity of Jesus.

The question is there any ambiguity allows each and every Muslim to have his own personal “divine Quran like the Jewish and Christian have tody ? The answer is NO
Two of the copies of the Qur'an in Istanbul and Uzbekistan which were originally prepared in the time of Caliph Uthman, are still available to us today and their text and arrangement can be compared, by anyone who cares to do, with any other copy of the Quran, be it in print or handwritten, from any place or period of time. They will be found identical. Do you know that ?
In short if you can find me two different version of Quran with different meaning in any chapter or any verse missing verse of one of them or contradict each other even in one single word then, I have no other option beside to be baptized and join your religion

Islam Critiqued:
Ali Hassan I listed several scholars, including two Islamic Turkish scholars who disagree with everything you say. You think these Islamic scholars are making up that fact that there are well in excess of 1500 variants between the Hafs and Topkopi manuscript alone?
And yeah, you show me a verse from the Quran saying the Quran hasn’t been corrupted, how convenient. What if that verse itself was corrupted? You can’t prove a text isn’t corrupted by referring to the text itself.
This conversation is over since you don’t want to actually engage with the evidence. My guess is that when the thousands of variants are formally presented at the completion of the corpus coranicum is complete and a text critical edition of the Quran is finally released, people like you will continue to close their eyes and cover their ears. Ignorance is not bliss.

The Arab-muslims won't apologize because they are following the sunnah of their prophet, and his companions, who enslaved blacks and pillage other people's land and property all in the name of religion. If the arab-muslims apologize, they technically make their profit Mohammed guilty of war crime hence they will not.

Normally, Africans and virtuosness fit hand in glove.

Historically, Arabians and Eurocentrics are absolute warmongers.

Yet, they attempt to hide these truth from you by peddling fake history by means of their Abrahamic text.

In order to be presented with the real Arabian history, one must have to disregard all Abrahamic or Islamic related text.

Then, it becomes clearer that Arabia has two types of history running concurrently in the public domain.

(a) The true Arabian history i.e looting, stealing, warmongery and desecrating sacred sites all around the globe.

(b) Fakery, Manufactured history. i.e Abrahamic text.

According to history, Arabians are the first foreigners to exploit Ancient Egypt. The first ever exploration and escavation of KM.T was by Arabian personnel. The names of Arabian persons that exploited Ancient Egypt before any Eurocentric knew what or where KM.T was, number in their hundreds and thousands.

There was once a Sultan that invade Ancient Egypt back in antiquity; his name was Saladin.

Thats right, Sultan Saladin ruled over Ancient Egypt by ways of unbelievable violence.

Desecrated many sacred sites of the KM.T. and stole African intellectual properties at the time. Significantly, Ancient Egypt is where some of the content of Abrahamic text came about.

Furthermore, its from the African continent that Arabs stole their knowledge of Algebra.

Ep6: Oh My! They've added entire lines to the Quran!
PfanderFilms
Published on Aug 19, 2019

We continue in this episode by highlighting Dan’s 6th example of the 20 Corrections offered in his book.

Correction Example 6: Here, we have multiple Post-Production Insertions, found in a manuscript from the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (MS.67.2007.1).

These insertions are located in Surah 5:93. The phrase “wa-ʿamilū al-ṣāliḥāt thumma attaqū wa āmilū” has been inserted between the lines. Except for the first wa āmilū the rest could be a copyist error, which then had to be re-written into the text, and above the line, at a later date.

Al fadi also notes that the wa-ʿamilū al-ṣāliḥāt is also inserted to reflect a common repetitive phrase which is found throughout the Qur’an, which means “believed and did good deeds”. Yet, by adding it the whole phrase now supports today’s ‘Hafs’ text.

In the next line down, the initial ʿalif of احسنوا ʿ aḥsanū “do good” (imperative, 3rd pl.), written in red, was omitted when it was first written, and was then added later, but in red ink. The reason? ‘Ahsanu’ can be written without the Alif, but it then means “improve”. With the alif added it now becomes “do good”.

This same red ink was used for the diacritical dots added at a later date, proving that this ‘alif was added at this later date. Both of these insertions now correspond with the current ‘Hafs’ text, proving human intervention.

Correction Example 7: In this example, taken from the Petropolitanus Manuscript in Paris, France (BnF arabe 327, fol.ir.), we have an insertion of the words “The Seven” above the line in Surah 23:86-87.

The words السبع alsabʿi “the seven” were added by a later scribe in Surah 23:86. Formerly it used to say, “Say: ‘Who is the Lord, the Lord of the Great Throne?’” which is a perfectly good phrase. Now it reads, “Say: ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne?’”

As such it now agrees with the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text. But more importantly, this creates a theological difference as well. By adding ‘the seven’, the text now matches what Muhammad said when he went up to the 7 heavens during the night of the ‘Mi’raj’, which some Muslims try to attribute to Surah 17:1, referring to Muhammad going up from the ‘Great Mosque’ (i.e. Mecca), to the ‘Farthest Mosque’ (i.e. Jerusalem). The problem with this view is that there were no Muslims in Jerusalem in 621 AD when this would have taken place, and thus no mosque could have existed there that early.

Nonetheless, if the 7 heavens is to be attributed to the Mi’raj, than this poses a further historical problem, because that story is first introduced in the Hadith and the Tafsir, which aren’t written until after 870 AD, or the late 9th century, suggesting that this correction would have to be post 9th century, since this manuscript is from the 8th century.

In Surah 23:87 we find another insertion, this time of the letter ʾalif which has been inserted in front of the word lillāhi “Allah’s”. It has been written with a narrower nib, proving it was added later by another scribe. Yet, this ‘alif is not found in the modern 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, suggesting that the correction goes against that text, and was created only by that later scribe.

Correction Example 8: In this example, again taken from the Petropolitanus Manuscript in Paris, France (BnF arabe 330, fol. 55r.), we find an erasure has subsequently been overwritten in Surah 4:149.

Originally it used to say fa-inna illāha ʿafurān qadiran, which means, “so surely Allah Forgiving, Powerful”, which doesn’t make sense. Currently, the word allāh (“Allah”) of Q4:149 has been replaced by allāhu kāna, which means “Allah is”, employing an erasure, and then overwriting it. By adding “is” the sentence now agrees with the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, and also makes sense.

Correction Example 9: Another example taken from the Petropolitanus Manuscript (BnF arabe 327, fol. 12v.), this time from Surah 42:5, where we find an insertion above the line, with the words ‘The Merciful’. Interestingly, these words الرحيم al-raḥīm “the Merciful” were omitted in the original, and have now been added at a later time.

It used to say “And Allah is the Forgiving”. With the insertion it now says “And Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful”. This, not only smooths out the reading of the text, it also now corresponds to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

But, intriguingly, this is part of the ‘Bismillah’ which is found in the ‘Fatiha’, the very first verse of the first chapter of the Qur’an, a chapter which often doesn’t exist in many of the earliest Qur’anic manuscripts. Could this be an example of introducing the Bismillah and redacting it into an earlier manuscript? We don’t know, but it could be a possibility.

In conclusion, the question must be asked why these corrections haven’t been noticed or published before by Muslim scholars, and why an American scholar is the first to uncover these thousands of later corrections, and then subsequently publish them?

Is Islamic Claim About the Koran True?
The very fact that different words are used in the different Arabic Korans prove there is no ONE single version of the Koran as alleged by Moslems.

Different words also mean different meanings and different recitations.

Reviewing one of the examples:
Sura 2:125 in Hafs and the Warsh.

Hafs says : وَاتَّخِذوْا “WatakhIzu” (You shall take)
BUT in Warsh it is وَاتَّخَذوْا “WatakhAzu” (They have taken/made).

Different words. Different meanings. Different recitations.

Islam prides itself on the precise recitations of its scriptures.
Moslems say that, word-for-word, the Koran is the exact speech of Allah.
So what EXACTLY did Allah speak?

Moslems cannot deny that markings like dots are new additions to the original writings. So, who gave the authority to add or remove dots? Allah or Mohamed? Who is the person who edited the Koran by adding dots.
Moslems claim not even one dot has changed from the time of Mohamed. That is obviously a false claim.

A question Moslems should answer: Which version/reading/qiraat is on Allah’s preserved tablets in heaven?

PfanderFilms
Published on Aug 26, 2019

We continue unpacking the corrections Dr Dan Brubaker has found in the Qur’an, and we come to correction number 10.

Correction Example 10: This example is taken from the Petropolitanus Manuscript (BnF arabe 331, fol. iv.), from Surah 2:137, where we find an insertion of the words “bi mithli” (‘like as’, or ‘similar to’).

The word مثل mithli “as” was omitted when first written, and then was added at a later time, along with the preceding bi, using a completely different hand writing, and a much narrower nib, suggesting a later addition. Note that it has vowels and diacritical marks, which again supports the notion that it was corrected at a later time because when this manuscript was first written, vowels had yet to be invented.

There is a further problem. The bi which was first written was linked along with the letter mā, and has not been erased. So, as it now stands, the portion reads امنوا بمثل بما amanū bi-mithli bi-mā, which is an incorrect and non-viable reading, as it has one too many ‘bi’s.

What’s more, it originally said “If they believe in that which you have believed”, but it now says “If they believe similarly to that which you have believed”, which changes the meaning and the emphasis of the statement as well. Nonetheless, the reason they had to add ‘bi mithli’ was so that it corresponded with our present ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 11: In this example, taken from the Topkapi Manuscript (Topkapi codex, fol. 374v.), we have an insertion of the word for god, ‘Allah’ in Surah 66:8.

This insertion of lām-lām-he (‘Allah’) occurs near the beginning of the verse, since originally, the first allāh of this verse was not present. Yet, it has obviously been added at a later date, and in the margin, outside of the verse itself, and with a completely different nib and ink color, proving it was added at a later time.

Originally it said, “Oh you who believe! Turn to a sincere repentance”. Now it says, “Oh you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance”. Notice the original ‘alif after the ila uses a larger nib, suggesting an error to the original text. The change has been made with a very small nib and is probably a modern intervention. But as it now stands, it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 12: We find here and erasure which was subsequently overwritten in the Petropolitanus manuscript (BnF Arabe 328, fol. 8r), in Surah 3:171.

The ḍad-lām of فضل faḍlin “bounty” has been written over an erasure. What’s curious is that the corrector has used a different nib and a much darker ink than that which was used in the original, and the two letters ‘dad’ and ‘lam’ are elongated so much to accommodate the letters underneath which they are replacing that they look distorted. One can see that angle of the script is different from the rest of the page.

If you look closer you will note that erasure marks are clearly seen underneath, in an attempt to erase between 5-11 original letters. These include four upward-extending letters, the first of which is preceded by a short tooth letter. These crude corrections clearly point to a much later human intervention, and now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 13: In this example we find two erasures overwritten, with the word ‘Qala’ erased and written over with the word ‘Qalu’ in Surah 34:35. The first example is found in the St Petersburg Marcel Codex (NLR Marcel 6), and the second is found in the Paris based Petropolitanus manuscript (BnF Arabe 340, fol. 26r.).

In the first example, from the NLR Marcel manuscript, the final lām of قال qāla “he said” has been erased, and in its place lām-wāw-alif has been inserted. The result is the word قالوا qālū “they said” (m. pl.). In the original it read, “And he said, ‘We are more [than you] in wealth and in children’”. Currently, it now reads, “And they said, ‘We are more [than you] in wealth and in children’”. By changing the phrase from singular to plural it now conform to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

In the second example, from the BNF Petropolitanus manuscript, we find the exact same change, erasing قال qāla “he said”, and replacing it with قالوا qālū “they said” (m. pl.), which then also conforms the text to the current 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

So, we find the exact same correction in the same verse; yet, from two distinct manuscripts, written by completely different hands, suggesting that these could not be simple scribal errors, but were intentional corrections by people at a later date.

Ep8: Erasures & Insertions prove massive censorship!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrCR0kG2Cb4

PfanderFilms
Published on Sep 2, 2019

While Dr Brubaker only refers to 22 corrections in his book, he and others have found over 4,000 of these corrections in the earliest Qur’anic manuscripts, proving massive censorship.

Correction Example 14: Here we have erasures, which leave gaps in Surah 4:167 in the Topkapi manuscript (Topkapi Codex, fol. 65r).

In the first example we find an erasure of the first letter of Allah. In the line directly above it, we see another erasure, but Dan hasn’t yet had time to look into it.

Further down, on the next line, we can see the shadow of what was first written, which was allāhi qad “Allah has already”; so, it used to say, “Surely those who disbelieve and hinder from the way of Allah have already strayed far into error”. With the correction it now says, “Surely those who disbelieve and hinder from the way have strayed far into error”. This correction goes away from the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 15: In this example we have an erasure leaving a gap in Surah 24:33, found in the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (MIA, Doha, 2013.19.2, verso).

We find an erasure at the end of one line, which continues into the beginning of the next line. It occurs after the word فضله faḍlihi “his grace”, and before والذين wa-alladhīna “and those who”. There is no way to know what was first written in the spaces erased; but it now corresponds to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, proving intentional censorship.

Correction Example 16: We now come to an insertion in Surah 4:33, in the Hussayni manuscript, found in the Cairo Mosque (Cairo Mosque, mushaf al-sharif, fol.109r.).

The word kāna, “is,” was omitted when this manuscript was first written, and then added later on above the line. Only the first two letters are visible in the photograph though the full word kāna was presumably originally inserted here, written with a very fine nib. It now says, “And Allah has power over all things”, so that it finally conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, and corresponds to the same formula found many times throughout the Qur’an.

Correction Example 17: Here we see an erasure which is then written over with the name ‘Allah’ in Surah 33:9, found in the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 11, fol. 7r.).

Interestingly, all but the first two letters of “ni ‘mat Allah” ‘The favor of Allah’ has been written over an erasure. Notice that a different nib and ink has been used, proving that a different hand of another scribe was employed. It’s also bunched together. It used to say, “ni ‘matihi” which means, ‘his favor’. It now says, “ni ‘mat Allah”, meaning ‘the favor of Allah’, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 18: In this example we find an insertion above the line of the word ‘the hour’ in Surah 6:40, again from the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 7, fol. 7r.).

An insertion of the word ‘the hour’ has been written above the line. Notice that it uses a much narrower nib, suggesting once again a different scribe, and a much later date. It used to say, “Say, tell me if Allah’s torment comes upon you, or comes upon you…”. It now says, “Say, tell me if Allah’s torment comes upon you, or the hour comes upon you…”, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 19: We now find an example of an erasure, written over with the name of ‘Allah’, in Surah 34:27, also found in the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 5, fol. 11r.)

The word “Huwa Allah” (‘he is Allah’) has been written in front of and over top of another word which has been erased. We cannot know what the original word would have been, but we see that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 20: This example is an erasure of nearly a full line, which is overwritten with only a few words, in Surah 8:3 from the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (MIA, Doha, 2014.491, fol.7v.).

One can see clearly that almost an entire line of text has been erased and then overwritten with the word “rizq” (‘provision’). We cannot know what the original phrase that was erased may have been. It now says, “wa-mimma razaqnahum yunfiqun”, meaning, “And out of what we have provided them (m.) they (m.) spend”. Notice that the initial ‘alif’ of the following verse is also added, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

We have found that most of these corrections bring the existing text into conformity with a standard. But how can you correspond these texts unless a standard exists? And no standard existed prior to 1924. So, when were all these corrections carried out? We leave that for you to decide.

What all these corrections prove is that there has been a good amount of correcting, changing, deleting, adding and conforming the early Qur'anic manuscripts so that they correspond with the final canonized text which we use today, proving that the Qur'an could not have come from Allah, nor from Muhammad, nor from Uthman, but from mere men

Correction Example 15: In this example we have an erasure leaving a gap in Surah 24:33, found in the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (MIA, Doha, 2013.19.2, verso).

We find an erasure at the end of one line, which continues into the beginning of the next line. It occurs after the word فضله faḍlihi “his grace”, and before والذين wa-alladhīna “and those who”. There is no way to know what was first written in the spaces erased; but it now corresponds to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, proving intentional censorship.

Correction Example 16: We now come to an insertion in Surah 4:33, in the Hussayni manuscript, found in the Cairo Mosque (Cairo Mosque, mushaf al-sharif, fol.109r.).

The word kāna, “is,” was omitted when this manuscript was first written, and then added later on above the line. Only the first two letters are visible in the photograph though the full word kāna was presumably originally inserted here, written with a very fine nib. It now says, “And Allah has power over all things”, so that it finally conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text, and corresponds to the same formula found many times throughout the Qur’an.

Correction Example 17: Here we see an erasure which is then written over with the name ‘Allah’ in Surah 33:9, found in the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 11, fol. 7r.).

Interestingly, all but the first two letters of “ni ‘mat Allah” ‘The favor of Allah’ has been written over an erasure. Notice that a different nib and ink has been used, proving that a different hand of another scribe was employed. It’s also bunched together. It used to say, “ni ‘matihi” which means, ‘his favor’. It now says, “ni ‘mat Allah”, meaning ‘the favor of Allah’, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 18: In this example we find an insertion above the line of the word ‘the hour’ in Surah 6:40, again from the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 7, fol. 7r.).

An insertion of the word ‘the hour’ has been written above the line. Notice that it uses a much narrower nib, suggesting once again a different scribe, and a much later date. It used to say, “Say, tell me if Allah’s torment comes upon you, or comes upon you…”. It now says, “Say, tell me if Allah’s torment comes upon you, or the hour comes upon you…”, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 19: We now find an example of an erasure, written over with the name of ‘Allah’, in Surah 34:27, also found in the National Library of Russia’s manuscript (NLR, Marcel, 5, fol. 11r.)

The word “Huwa Allah” (‘he is Allah’) has been written in front of and over top of another word which has been erased. We cannot know what the original word would have been, but we see that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

Correction Example 20: This example is an erasure of nearly a full line, which is overwritten with only a few words, in Surah 8:3 from the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (MIA, Doha, 2014.491, fol.7v.).

One can see clearly that almost an entire line of text has been erased and then overwritten with the word “rizq” (‘provision’). We cannot know what the original phrase that was erased may have been. It now says, “wa-mimma razaqnahum yunfiqun”, meaning, “And out of what we have provided them (m.) they (m.) spend”. Notice that the initial ‘alif’ of the following verse is also added, so that it now conforms to the 1924 ‘Hafs’ text.

We have found that most of these corrections bring the existing text into conformity with a standard. But how can you correspond these texts unless a standard exists? And no standard existed prior to 1924. So, when were all these corrections carried out? We leave that for you to decide.

What all these corrections prove is that there has been a good amount of correcting, changing, deleting, adding and conforming the early Qur'anic manuscripts so that they correspond with the final canonized text which we use today, proving that the Qur'an could not have come from Allah, nor from Muhammad, nor from Uthman, but from mere men

Yes, thank you for the educative contributions, i totally agree with you in your determinations.

Why so many versions of the Quran?

There are so many versions of the Quran due to the fact that it isnt a real history document; its a propagandist device manufactured, developed and maintained to favour people of the Arabian Penisular.
