Friends: To be clear, I am not suggesting that all of these were meaningful variants as first written. Some or all might have been mere scribal error. What I try to do as a matter of course is think whether would have been a viable reading as it appears to have first been written. This is just a part of the process, and that was what you saw me doing in this video. However, it is only a thought process, not a conclusion. There is much more that would go into a serious consideration of these things, including looking at other places in the same manuscript where the same words or phrases occur, or other manuscripts, including earlier ones, and so forth. So, please understand that I am just showing the page and pointing out that 1) corrections are relatively frequent, and 2) corrections sometimes have possibilities other than mere scribal errors. Thanks again for watching.

[@ArroEL922]

Whether the meaning changed nor not is not the issue. Muslims have claimed that NOTHING (not a word, not a letter, not a mark) in the Qur'an has changed throughout the centuries. As long as there is ONE such change, their argument fails. Besides, what about those embarrassing verses that Aisha's tame sheep ate just after the death of Muhammad? That would be omissions in the Qur'an, so again, the Qur'an was NOT perfectly preserved.

[@leftyfromtheleft3764]

@Paco Newwave An Ahruf and A Qirrat Clearly you don't even know either! And yes there are different Corans out there, or One Coran with many readings, which one is the true one? None! Because it was not perfectly preserved. You lost an entire Sourah to a sheep 🤣

[@variantquran4505]

@XCS8000 There are many instances of erasures leaving gaps in the manuscripts. Some are best explained by simple error (e.g. dittography resulting from parablepsis, followed by subsequent erasure ... I can tell later what this means), but others are not. When I publish my big book, it will have many examples of all these different types. As to photographs, I have my personal photos of all pages of all early Quran manuscripts from the Museum of Islamic Art (as of five years ago; they have likely added to the collection since), yes, and will be showing and discussing in due course. Good question, thanks, DB

**Let me present you with the academic perspective for the preservation and the transmission of the quran:** By academic standards, the author of the quran is anonymous. The modern quran that many muslims read today was compiled by the Cairo government in the year 1924. There is no evidence to prove that this is the same quran that came from muhamad. The oldest manuscript of the quran is the Birmingham manuscript which contains only 2 pages and the contents of these manuscripts contain pre islamic texts. A complete quran can be only found several centuries after the death of muhamad. Also, there have been discoveries of several different qurans with thousands of variants among them including variations in words, letters, meanings and sentence structure. Academic scholars also state the quran plagiarizes from several ancient fairy tales and mythology before it. Obviously the quran is an evolved text and many parts were added to it later on. **Now let me explain to you about the preservation and the transmission of the quran from the perspective of islamic traditions:** According to islamic traditions, muhamad was an illiterate. He never wrote down the quran but it was his scribes who wrote it down. The funny thing is that all these islamic traditions which are called **hadiths** were compiled 250 years after muhamad. So we don't have any contemporary evidence from the time of muhamad that proves that it was muhamad who recited the quran. There is also no eyewitness testimony from the time of muhamad that he received revelations from allah through angel gibril. The muslims claim that they have chains of narrators starting from muhamad himself that prove the quran came from him. But academic scholars reject these chains of narrators on the grounds that many of these chains of narrators were invented or fabricated by later generation of muslims. Even muslim scholars themselves reject the authenticity of the hadiths and are constantly in dispute over them. Even different sects of islam such as shias and sunnis have different set of hadiths. Let me also quote to you the testimonies of several academic scholars and scholars of textual criticism upon whom I have based my opinions: “…the standard Egyptian edition of the Qur’an, first published on July 10, 1924…in Cairo [is] now widely seen as the official text of the Qur’an.” -**Gabriel Said Reynolds** “In the early twentieth century…the shape of the Qur’an would have seemed anything but clear. In fact, the Egyptian government was motivated to begin the project that would lead to the Cairo Qur’an edition due to the variations (or “errors,” as an appendix to the Cairo edition describes them) found in the Qur’anic texts that they had been importing for state schools.” -**Gabriel Said Reynolds** However, the Cairo [standardized] text is often at odds with manuscript evidence.” -**Gabriel Said Reynolds** The common belief that the Qur’an has a single, unambiguous reading is due in part to the bravado of translators, who rarely express doubt about their choices.” -**Gabriel Said Reynolds** “In response [to the variant Quranic texts], the [Egyptian] government destroyed a large number of such [variant] texts by sinking them in the Nile River and issued its own text.” -**Gabriel Said Reynolds** **Fred donner** Qur'anic studies, as a field of academic research, appears today to be in a state of disarray. Those of us who study Islam's origins have to admit collectively that we simply do not know some very basic things about the Qur'an - things so basic that the knowledge of them is usually taken for granted by scholars dealing with other texts. They include such questions as: How did the Qur'an originate? Where did it come from, and when did it first appear? How was it first written? In what kind of language was - is - it written? What form did it first take? Who constituted its first audience? How was it transmitted from one generation to another, especially in its early years? When, how, and by whom was it codified? Those familiar with the Qur'an and the scholarship on it will know that to ask even one of these questions immediately plunges us into realms of grave uncertainty and has the potential to spark intense debate. To put it another way, on these basic issues there is little consensus even among the well-trained scholars who work on them.* Islamic tradition argues that the Qur’an’s transmission was firmly controlled by the practice of oral recitation; the revelations received by Muhammad were learned from him as recitations by his followers, and were sometime later written down to form the Qur’an text we have today… Doubts have been shed, however, on this traditional view…Moreover, there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an text, or parts of it at least, must at some stage in its history have been transmitted in purely written form, without the benefit of a controlling tradition of active recitation.” -****Fred M. Donner, THE QUR’AN IN RECENT SCHOLARSHIP, p. 40.*** **James Bellamy states:** “They [variant readings] are important to us here because they prove that there was no oral tradition stemming directly from the prophet strong enough to overcome all the uncertainties inherent in the writing system.” -James A. Bellamy, “Some Proposed Emendations to the Text of the Koran,” Journal of the American Oriental Society, 113(4), 563.* **Devin Stewart** notes this as well: “The tradition of Qur’anic recitation can be shown to ignore or run roughshod over many discernible or retrievable features of the text, particularly with regard to rhyme, that must represent the oldest stage of its performance. In addition, while many of the variants recognized as legitimate within Islamic tradition may plausibly have arisen through oral transmission, many others cannot, being based on graphic and not phonic, resemblance.”* **Devin J. Stewart**, Notes on medieval and modern emendations of the Qur’an. In Gabriel Said Reynolds, The Qur’an in Its Historical Context. London, Routledge: 2007, 229.* **CONCLUSION:** We can clearly see from the testimony of academic scholars that the perfect preservation and transmission of the quran from muhamad is nothing but a myth and fantasy based on religious and emotional claims.

One version gives a command/order, while the other states a historical fact/observation. 3:146 in Hafs is قاتل “Qatal” (Fought) / In Warsh it is ُقتل “Qutil” (Were Killed).

They include such questions as: How did the Qur'an originate? Where did it come from, and when did it first appear? How was it first written? In what kind of language was - is - it written? What form did it first take? Who constituted its first audience? How was it transmitted from one generation to another, especially in its early years? When, how, and by whom was it codified? Those familiar with the Qur'an and the scholarship on it will know that to ask even one of these questions immediately plunges us into realms of grave uncertainty and has the potential to spark intense debate. To put it another way, on these basic issues there is little consensus even among the well-trained scholars who work on them.* Islamic tradition argues that the Qur’an’s transmission was firmly controlled by the practice of oral recitation; the revelations received by Muhammad were learned from him as recitations by his followers, and were sometime later written down to form the Qur’an text we have today… Doubts have been shed, however, on this traditional view…Moreover, there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an text, or parts of it at least, must at some stage in its history have been transmitted in purely written form, without the benefit of a controlling tradition of active recitation.” -****Fred M. Donner, THE QUR’AN IN RECENT SCHOLARSHIP, p. 40.*** **James Bellamy states:** “They [variant readings] are important to us here because they prove that there was no oral tradition stemming directly from the prophet strong enough to overcome all the uncertainties inherent in the writing system.” -James A. Bellamy, “Some Proposed Emendations to the Text of the Koran,” Journal of the American Oriental Society, 113(4), 563.* **Devin Stewart** notes this as well: “The tradition of Qur’anic recitation can be shown to ignore or run roughshod over many discernible or retrievable features of the text, particularly with regard to rhyme, that must represent the oldest stage of its performance. In addition, while many of the variants recognized as legitimate within Islamic tradition may plausibly have arisen through oral transmission, many others cannot, being based on graphic and not phonic, resemblance.”* **Devin J. Stewart**, Notes on medieval and modern emendations of the Qur’an. In Gabriel Said Reynolds, The Qur’an in Its Historical Context. London, Routledge: 2007, 229.* **CONCLUSION:** We can clearly see from the testimony of academic scholars that the perfect preservation and transmission of the quran from muhamad is nothing but a myth and fantasy based on religious and emotional claims.

Dr Van Putten's conclusions: This paper has shown that idiosyncratic spellings of certain words are not due to the whims of the scribe, but are reproduced with the same spelling in all early Quranic manuscripts. The only way that such a consistent reproduction can be explained is by assuming that all the documents that belong to the Uthmanic text type go back to a single written archetype whose spelling was strictly copied from one copy to the next, showing that these copies were based on a written exemplar.

So you have to agree with the bible, including those parts that say Jesus is God, or you are disagreeing with Muhammad. You can't have that both ways.

What's that word he keeps using -- the standard "rasome?" At 8:34 and other places.

[@_John_P]

Standard Rasm scripture, which means early Arabic that has no vowels, only consonants. Vowels are represented with diacritical marks in modern Arabic (the little dots) and came much later than Rasm. They were introduced to solve the issue of the Rasm text being impossible to read, unless you already knew what's written. For instance, imagine written English with no vowels, that would be "Rams English": Smpl txt wtht vwls. Notice that it's impossible to tell if the first word is "Simple" or "Sample"? In Arabic it is even worse, each Rams word might have 20 or so completely different reading possibilities, making it impossible to perfectly preserve every word of a book, rather along the meaning.

[@variantquran4505]

Dear Nawaf, thank you for the comments. I understand that popular the assertion is the Quran was perfectly transmitted orally as a memorized text from the very beginning. Of course, it sounds nice, but none of us can time travel back to the 7th century to confirm this. The only tangible evidence we have is the physical objects that have survived from that time, and among these are the manuscripts. A scientist does not take a point of dogma as a starting assumption - a scientist asks questions. I do not have any personal objection to the idea of the Quran having been transmitted orally in its earliest years, but I think it is reasonable to see if the physical evidence supports this assertion. There are two parts to the popular assertion: 1) It was transmitted orally and 2) Its oral transmission was perfectly uniform (this idea finds common expression in the term "preserved.") I think that the first point is reasonable as a general conclusion and the manuscripts bear marks of both orality and textual transmission. With respect to the second claim, it is not unreasonable to put it forward as a hypothesis, but one must ask the question: If the Quran was perfectly memorized without disagreement (and again, I have no objection to the possibility that it was), then why would a Quran manuscript (which is the only tangible evidence we have of what the text looked like at the time) leave out words that are in the standard text ... and even the manuscript was corrected in other spots on the same page, but it still left out three words?

@@zaiemibrahim3025 👍👍👍 We should not remain silent. Such person with no integrity couldn't even handle the errors found in the Bible. He forgot that Jesus had admonshed :- Matthew 7 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

@XCS8000 Muslims look errors in your Bible (the inspired words of God) while Christians can only afford to look for erros in the Hadiths (collection of hearsays). See the difference .. 🤣

[@letmetalk2240]

@XCS8000 LOL .. actually your Bible is from hearsays!

This is very interesting, thank you for sharing this with us, as someone who believes the Qur'an to be the word of God but does not subscribe to what we know today as the religion of Islam, I find this work quite intriguing, and I will be going through your other videos as well. However, I see a lot of comments that are somewhat motivated at disproving the authenticity of the Qur'an or that the Qur'an was not preserved. Personally I wouldn't incline myself to this view, I looked at the current text as a complete text in Arabic and I assess it based on the arguments and the evidence it puts forth. I find, when you consider the Arabic of the text with reference to root words, a very consistent and coherent narrative. Whether variants, with regards to different markings in different manuscripts, change the meaning of the text to the extent that it is no longer preserved, I'm not too sure. What is likely is that the different tribes spoke different dialects of Arabic and the different tribes then had slightly different manuscripts. Peace

Thank you for watching, Mohamed. I hope you find the material to be helpful. Best wishes, DB

Oh God. What does that even mean "what is known as the religion of Islam"? If you think this orientalist work is interesting even though his knowledge of Classical Arabic is terrible , you need review your understanding of the Quran and Islam. Shoddy work.
