A Quite Variant Quran Page

[@variantquran4505]

Hello friends. Please note the following corrections to the above video: 1) Around 11:40, the slide reads حوضهم rather than خوضهم as it should. 2) From 8:31, an incorrect portion of text exists in the slide before being rectified at 8:41. These will be minor distractions to most viewers, if noticed at all, but since I know there are some who are looking for anything to criticize, I wanted to acknowledge these upfront. I see no need to take down and re-post the video; so I just acknowledge them here. Thank you for understanding. DB

[@Md.Kamarussalihin]

Hello Dr.. have you also taken account that the main preservation of the Quran is via memorization throught 7 dialects. So the manuscripts is more or less like memorization note rather than a final product. Just want to know what your opinion on this. Scribers error do occurs sometimes and you even mentioned without having another copy of the manuscript it is difficult to assess the errors.

Md Kamarussalihin Hj Shahrol Azman Then that manuscript should not be named a ‘manuscript’ in the museum, but just a note paper to help memorisation.

[@variantquran4505]

@@Md.Kamarussalihin Thank you for honoring me with this question. The answer is that I am open to considering all possibilities here, and always. I do not at the moment find the prospect of a text such as this, written on parchment, and clearly having been bound into a muṣḥaf, as being merely a memorization note with carelessness about the details such as alternate words, tenses, or other issues, to be intellectually satisfying. We might imagine such a thing, but this looks to me like something that was prepared for circulation, not as memorization notes. And further, if one wished to have a memorization note, then we might expect that what is written on the page would be very precise, so as to aide in precise and correct memorization. It does not, therefore, make sense to me that this would be a good explanation for what we see on this page. I do, however, remain ready to consider new information and happy for thoughtful discussion. Best to you, and I am thankful you are here. DB

For better discussion, here is a list of the details from Daniel Brubaker's video. Slide 1: MS.474.2003 (8r):"signs for you (plural) if you (plural) believe" versus Hafs Q6:99: "signs for a people who believe" Slide 2 - inserted word: MS.474.2003 (8r): bihi follows first occurrence of "fa-akhrajna," but inserted after second "fa-akhrajna." [unclear whether 3:43 slide of Hafs is pointing to the first or second occurrence of "from it" as we can see another occurrence to the left of the green boxed Arabic text. Brubaker or someone needs to explain this better.] Slide 3 -missing script: MS.474.2003 (8r): does not contain third person singular [translation and significance needed] Hafs: contains third person singular "their fruit, when they bear" Slide 4 - erasure: MS.474.2003 (8r): 'alif erased changing "allah" to "lillahi" conforms to Hafs reading "to Allah." Allah as object (accusative form) not found anywhere in Quran. Slide 5 different word: MS.474.2003 (8r): yashrikun is written first. Then second scribe changes text but does not erase the extra letters. Hafs: yashrifun?? [unclear what word is spoken by Brubaker. Writing all Arabic terms used would have been better.] Slide 6 : Hafs has one more tooth (short upwards stroke) than MS.474.2003 (8r) [discussion requested] Slide 7 - Q6:106: MS.474.2003 (8r): present continuous active voice - "that which he is revealing" Hafs: present perfect passive voice - "that which has been revealed to you" Slide 8 - Q6:107: MS.474.2003 (8r): ashrakna - "Had Allah willed they would not have ascribed partners to Us" Hafs: "Had Allah willed they would not have been polytheists." Slide 9 - q6:107: MS.474.2003 (8r): "a watcher over him/it ['alayhi]" Hafs: "We have not appointed you a watcher over them ['alayhim]." Slide 10 - q6:108: MS.474.2003 (8r): 'alif Hafs: no 'alif Slide 11 - changes: MS.474.2003 (8r): Q6:105 - 'alif inserted; Q6:106 - erasure, possibly a "waw" Slide 12 - alternative word: MS.474.2003 (8r): q6:110 - "plunged" as in Q6:91 Hafs: Q6:110 - "insolence"

When i was a child.. My Father, Mother, Teacher, basically everyone always told me "the Qur'an is preserved by Allah himself, it never changed even by a single letter and this is a miracle." I'm an adult now, have access to the internet, and it is not so much of a miracle.

[@SuperRphp]

@Adam Musthafa At least in your video, some Muslim aknowlegde that there are many difference Quran variants/manuscripts... Conclusion: the miracle of preservation that was used to be claim is nothing. It was proven that the Quran manuscripts are human made.

[@robertdegroot8302]

​@Adam Musthafa So you think there are just 7 different Qurans, and that the skeletal text is always the same. This is proven not to be true, and Muslims scholars have now openly acknowledged it. There are 37(!) Qurans and they differ in consonants (razm). Just watch these videos (and others on this channel) to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f36WgWWfmZiHqNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6eUhIudrLmrnZY And here is a video and channel that will introduce you to all of the problems with the traditional history of Islam from the Hadith and Sirat. Did you know the terms Muhammad, Mecca, Islam and Muslim are nowhere to be found before the year 685AD (Mecca not even before 740!)? This, along with lots of other evidence, makes the idea that the Arab conquerors were Muslims simply impossible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqrgmWAmqqdbLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2VZqioj7mKj6M The problems with the Quranic page in this video should definitely concern you as well. According to Islamic tradition, the Quran was compiled by Uthman in the 650's while burning all others, so all Qurans after that should be perfect copies. What we see is that all Quranic manuscripts from the 8th century are different from today's Quran, and each other!

@Adam Musthafa That's a strawman argument. It's very old an has been refuted many times. Christians dont claim 1+1+1=1. You obviously don't understand what christians believe. In order for your logic or your equation to equivocate, there would have to be a time in which God existed as 3 separate Gods and then fused himself into 1 God. Christians don't believe God was ever separated, nor do christians worship Jesus, The holy spirit, and the Father as 3 separate Gods. Rather, Christians believe God has always existed as ONE triune being. Therefore the more accurate equation would be , 1P+1P+1P= 1G Or in its simplest form, 3P= 1G Where P represents Personhood, and G represents Deity or Godliness

I have a serious question. If the Quran is supposed to be the only miracle that Mohamed ever did. How is this possible if he never wrote anything down and it was only compiled after by others? So how could it be a miracle? I’ve heard Muslims claim it was because of how beautifully it was written but Mohamed never even wrote it. So how is this a “miracle” that proves that Mohamed was right? There have been many classic works of literature that far surpass the jumbled nonsensical way that the Quran was mashed together. I’ve seen children who can write more coherent stories. So my question is genuine and not meant to sound mean but how is this book, that he never even wrote, a miracle that proves him to be a prophet?

[@Scalpaxos]

Actually it was mocked by many well known scholars in the Muslim world like ar-Razzi or ar-Rawandi but since criticizing the Quran can get you killed, this idea of literary excellency has been enforced with threats and violence over the ages, after a while it became like an automated response, a reflex Muslims acquire at a very young age.

[@Md.Kamarussalihin]

Firstly, The prophet PBUH is illiterate. Secondly, it did got written down by his fellow companion. The revelation came within 23 years of his prophethood so not many of the same companion was always there while some were there halfway. Thats why during the Time of Uthman RA every known memorizer, reciter and those who hold a copy were gathered to compiled the textual Quran and after the finish product, the other copies were burned to avoid confusion.

I think Muslims say M received and recited it. Others memorized and eventually write it down and burned all the deviant copies (except this one it now seems) and that the resulting book was so awesome it head to be a miracle.

Hey Daniel, do you know of any good resources for learning the basics of ancient arabic writing compared to modern arabic writing? Is this something that varies from manuscript to manuscript?

Thanks for you videos, they are very interesting so far :-)

[@variantquran4505]

The standard work on the paleography of the Quran is "The Abbasid Tradition" by François Déroche. It is a fairly big and expensive book and may be limited in availability. I got mine many years ago now and have not checked lately. Déroche is the one who described and classified the various scripts in the system that is commonly used today. Even with that book, it takes some time to learn to recognize the often fine differences. Maybe I will do a series of videos at some point talking about early script styles. DB

I don't understand. When Muslims say that the Quran has been perfectly preserved, do they mean that the first Quran ever written (by Zayd ibn Thabit at the request of the first Rashidun Caliph Abu Bakr) exists somewhere in a museum or some such place, intact with no damage to its pages? Or do they mean that Qurans that came after it are perfectly identical to the original? If that's so, how would they respond to the fact there are different Qurans today? How would they know which one reflects the original Quran by Zayd?

"8r" refers to the "recto" side or the front side of page 8. "8v" would refers to the "verso" side of back side of the leaf of paper.

[@Basaljet]

I may be mistaken but I thing recto is the revers side. Not so good for writing being parchment ie animal skin the reverse side is like suede. Best parchment is vellum which is an unborn calf drawn from the womb if it’s mother. This is why biblical manuscripts were so unbelievably precious. One text like Isaiah 49ft would require a whole herd of young animals

[@restnxist]

@@Basaljet I double-checked. The recto is the right hand side of an open English book; the first side read before reading the back side, the verso (which is the left hand side of an English open book). I would be interested to know if this is different for Arabic script that is read from right to left. Indeed quite precious, you image of requiring the death of a whole herd of young animals in order to bring "life" to a text does make communication costly.

[@Basaljet]

restnxist it is why the Catholic Church was accused of withholding the scriptures from the people. The value and price of a hand written bible was a small fortune. Only the aristocracy could read until the invention of the printing press. The internet is having the same effect on Islam. it is in the birth pangs of a new dynamic of interpretation and may not stay the course because there is very little if anything in a verifiable historical deposit from the 7th century unlike Catholicism.

Dr. Brubaker, Generally, I find that all the examples including the last one show that the scribe probably memorized the Quran and was writing from his memory. His mistakes are with very similar phrases elsewhere in the Quran. I cited some replies in my other comments before. For example, the phrase إن في ذلك لآيات لكم إن كنتم مؤمنين is already found in 2 other chapters in the Quran namely Q2:248 and Q3:49 so the scribe could have very well by mistake used one of them one instead of إن في ذلكم لآيات لقوم يؤمنون which is the standard reading.

Also, the Holy Qur’an is memorized by memorization and not by writing. Now I can obtain a license, Permissibility is that I have a chain of transmission that reaches the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. For example, I memorized it from a sheikh, and this sheikh memorized it from a sheikh. And so on, all the way to the Tabi’i, all the way to the Companion, and all the way to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3bXk4eVg9empZosi=54kZc_icHcmHpRU9 Watch this video and activate the translation and you will understand more

So the best approximation is the most ancient copies we can find which is what Dr. Brubaker is studying. I think what studies will show (they already have actually) is that the Quran is "fairly well preserved" (from some original), but not perfectly preserved, just like all other ancient literature that has been preserved at all.

Most of these can be explained as scribal errors but the most intriguing ones are those that do not match up with the current dominant hafs text, such as the last one. One could also say that the scribes unwillingness to correct these errors but correct other errors on the same fragment could indicate that this is how they recited the Quran, of course that’s just speculation but there is reasonable doubt. My question for you is this, do we have other Quran fragments that existed around the same time as this one that have the same variants at the exact same spots like this fragment?
