I don't know about others, but in Indonesia, all those memorized Qur'an spend 2 hours reciting 2 out of 30 juz(partition of the quran) everyday as to preserve their memorization. That's excluding recitation in main and supplicant prayer.
In Mecca and Madinah you could see hundreds of 6-10 years old memorize the Quran everyday and get tested on it inside the mosques. I’m from Kuwait but when I was at that age I used to go there every summer and memorize the Quran with them. I ended up memorizing almost all of it, 27 out of 30

Quran comes to us unchanged by memorization not necessarily a book copy. Allah preserves in the hearts of believers, that’s why there is only one copy of the Quran.
@Benjamin Iota 1) The Ahruf you refer to are the seven dialects of the tribes of Mecca and Medina, Rasoolallah SAW said that the Quran has been revealed in 7 tongues, so recite which is easiest ( see Bukhari 4992) 2) Hafs and Warsh are two types of Qiraat or recitation which stem from the 7 Ahruf, if you watch a quran recitation competition they tell you which qiraat they will be reading from- Hafs is the more commonly used one. 3) Uthman ibn Affan AS burned those copies circulating around Persia because they were written by non Arabs, thus they had mistakes and errors, so he gathered all the copies, burned the pages that had errors or would burn the entire thing and rewrite it from scratch.
@Benjamin Iota all these qurans you’re talking about, have MINIMAL differences that wouldn’t even change the context. Further, what 99% of Muslims around the world are using Quran, this is the one, leave the other as even Muslims to look at them.
@Benjamin Iota I do believe there have been tries to reword some of the Quran to change it, but again, they never succeeded and never will, cuz again million do memorize it, it is UNCHANGEABLE.
@@muntekald7419 These Minimal differences you are talking about are the for example German or Swedish translations thats why we have to recite the holy Quran in Arabic
@Benjamin Iota those are merely dialectical differences lol. They don't even alter or distort the contextuality of even a single verse in the Quran. As for Uthman, he burned some copies cause some of the scribes wrote their commentary so it could be easier for them to memorize since they had to learn the Quran in its entirety. Also he did it with their agreement. Not a single community in charge of organizing the Quran were against him on such matters
We have the concept Hafiz in Islam. Abu Bakr RA, Omer RA, Uthman RA and Ali RA, the four rightly guided calipha knew and memorised Quran by heart. Abu Bakr RA and Omer RA were Prophet Muhammad father in laws and Ali RA and Uthman RA were cousins of Prophet Muhammads. Prophet Muhammad saw wife Ayesha RA who whole memorised the Quran by heart lived up to Ali RA reign as Calipha, so witnessed the compilation of Quran into a book. Abdullah bin Masood RA was the actual person doing and managing compilation into a book of Quran while Uthman RA watched over it. Abdullah ibn Masood was a famous student of Prophet Muhammad saw, who learnt Quran directly from Prophet (saw).
Ali RA was cousin and son in law of the Prophet SAW and Usman RA was also son in law. Ali RA died in 40 hijri and Aisha RA died in 57 hijri. Ibn Masood RA was not in the comity who compiled Quran, it was Zaid bin Sabit RA accompanied by Umar RA in Abu Bakr RA time and Zaid bin Sabit RA accompanied by Saeed bin Al Aas RA and Abdullah bin Zubair RA etc in Usman RA time.
@Edison Manafi I don't get where you get the idea that Uthman burned the Qur'an because they were horrible? What happened was during Uthman,s reign there begin to appear many companion copies. These copies included exegetical notes, different chapter divisions, etc. So what Uthman did is standardized the text, then sent these texts to the major cities of that time like Makkah and others and instead of going and checking all other copies whether which one is correct and which one is wrong they should use the copy that almost every companion agreed was correct.
If they all memorized the book by heart, why it took them 20 years to combine one, they could have crossed checked with each other and finalised a book in Ramadan. Why did Osman burn all the original texts!
I read an article regarding the Sana'a manuscript a couple of weeks ago. I was quite sure that the article said that it was the oldest Quran manuscript.
@@whysoreligious2657 Sana'a manuscripts are more likely a student's note rather than codified Mushaf. We used to do that a lot in Egypt where we learn Quran by writing the text of the Quran on paper from memory, checking on it and erase it and rewrite on it once more.
Always remember that the Quran is an oral book that is primarily transmitted between generations from mouth to ear and memorized in the heart, manuscripts are just an additional layer of protection for saving the holy book.
As a muslim Arab, I was expecting to be able to read most of these manuscripts. Shockingly, I couldn’t even read a single word except for the oldest manuscript. This just shows how difficult it was for non-Arabs to learn Arabic back then.
It's the style of writing. If you try to read Medieval English you'll have a hard time as well. I have some Latin manuscripts and the older the are the harder they are to read!
I deeply appreciate the insight into the oldest Quran manuscripts. It's incredible to see how these ancient texts have been preserved through the centuries, offering us a glimpse into the early days of Islam. The dedication to maintaining the Quran's heritage is truly inspiring. Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
Uthman didn't change anything nor there were spelling errors what Uthman did was compile the whole Quran together as it was revealed to the Prophet partially over his lifetime and the companions had different single verses written with them Uthman made the whole Quran available to all
????? Uthaman picked what he wanted , he burnt what he did not like. How is that not changing the original???? How did he know what to burn or keep if he was not a prophet
Great video! love the quality of your work and research. As for 11:15 , why assume it would be different if it was written before Uthman's standardized quran? if it was written while prophet Muhammad was alive then the logical thing is that it would match Uthman's version, because he was a contemporary of the prophet, he lived besides him for years and he likely memorized the Quran directly from him, as did a lot of his companions. It's Uthman's Quran that should match the Birmingham manuscript and not the other way around
No we christians dont care about it because we know the bible is way older than the quran and the quran doesnt align with bible, the quran denies that isaac was the one chosen to be sacrificed, the quran says it was ishmael when in reality was isaac the bible was first, jesus was the fullfilment of all the holy scriptures

I know a bit about this, since I studied Arabic at school and Arabic calligraphy afterwards, and I'd love to see that video made. They're better thought of as different fonts rather than different scripts. There are only minor differences that depend on origin, time period, use, whatever it was written on, and preference for either aesthetic or legibility.

Note: the "versions" of the quran is the seven spellings of it, we muslims believe in all of them and the prophet peace be upon him told us about them, and that they all descended upon him, but the othmani one(or the qurashi) is the most famous, but if you go to countries like morocco you would see the other version, so they are not like different bibles of even errors or something like that

Good explanation. But you mentioned inaccurate information Caliph Othman did not make a new version during his reign Rather, he relied on the copy written by Zaid bin Thabet during the reign of the first Caliph Abu Bakr, and the copy was preserved with Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. there is another thing, Muslims do not pay much attention to manuscripts because the method of preserving the Qur’an was through memorization and repetition of the entire Qur’an Most of the Muslims memorized the Qur’an at the age of seven years, and the memorizer obtained a certificate from the Sheikh for that Qur’an was preserved by the large number of memorizers over the ages.

First off - no apology needed for pronunciation errors in other languages. Your accent alone is so rich and pleasant to listen to. Second - the early Muslims had a solid point when they claimed the original Arabic was sacred. The bulk of discrepancies that cause conflict in religions come from interpretation of a language and/or culture that is foreign to the present day reader. A good example I picked up the other day; Joseph’s coat was always referred to as having many colors. There’s even a rose named the Joseph’s Coat rose based on this translation. Well, the original wording in its original context was more likely referring to a long coat with sleeves, such as an individual would wear for special occasions, or if they were wealthy and didn’t have to work for a living. While this one’s simple and doesn’t hold a record for any dramatic schisms, it’s an example of where many of the controversies we have today likely originated. A lot of words just to say thank you for the fabulous work on this video. Matt only brings in the best! I
ever noticed that the 'orignal' korans were written in a North Arabic dialect and not in the Mecca or Medina dialect Quaraish (I don't know the right spelling) as Uthman demanded?
@@e-college-sait I do not think you understand what you are saying. What do you mean written in dialect and then ordered to be written in another dialect?
As a Jewish girl who has read the Tanach more times than I can count, the debate on Yosef's "coat" is more complex than that. First of all, it was a kutonet, a tunic, rather than a coat. Second, it's described as a kutonet pasim, which would generally be translated as a striped tunic. There's debate about what these stripes were- whether they were woven or embroidered, and there are some who claim that it meant that it had long sleeves. However, pasim does mean stripes, so there's a high chance that it just means a striped tunic.
Hello @usefulCharts. Im a literature and theology student and I am also religious.

the earlies version of the koran and hadith are from the 8 century by Utman, the older versions are pre-koranic texts ,for other sources.

All off them are at least 100 year after mohamed lived.
Problem is that no one seems to have an original Uthmanic Qur'an so cannot compare it. Also there are no vowels in the manuscripts as that was developed later in Arabic writing. Wonder how different these Qur'ans are to the Hafs or Warsh Qur'an that is used by most Muslims today?

@@jkmcgregor7797 Interesting so if you have the consonants B & D then you know what vowel goes in the middle? Guess the wrong one and that could change the meaning of the word, the whole sentence and the context of the whole phrase or leave the entire thing into an indecipherable mishmash of nonsense. The proto-Qur'an was written in Aramaic-Syriac which was the dominant language up unto the 8th century AD. They were writen in short hand as Christian Psalms that were later translated into Arabic and the Qur'an(s). Which is why there are so many ambigious (dark) passages in them. If you compare the Hafs Qur'an with the Warsh Qur'an you get about 5,000 different variances that do affect the meaning of the passages. I suggest that you look at the work done by Dr. Jay Smith and Hatun Tash in this field.

I have a theory about the Birmingham Copy of Quran, I think it is wrote in prophet Muhammad's life, even before going to Madina, as the carbon test said.. Yeah, yeah.. You may ask: "what about Uthman's Unification of Quran versions, when he destroyed all of the copies? And why it is as Uthman's version" I'll tell you, what I think. In Book of Bukhari sunnah, it's said that Uthman's kept Abu Bakr's copy, to be the main copy, to copy from it the other copies, and destroyed the other old copies. It said that Zayd bin Thabit and Omar bin Alkhattab didn't wrote all of the Quran over again, but gathered the old copies of each chapther, and compare it to the last version of Quran; then, re-order it. Ater that, they filled the gaps in the pages (by re-writing) that was made because of ordering the Quran. So, Most of the Quran in that copy was written in prophet Muhammad's life, and kept by Caliph Abu Bakr, Omar, and so, Caliph Uthman. And, since chapter of "Isra'" to "Taha" all of them are chapters that given to Muhammad in Makkah before Hijrah, which are that Birmingham copy about. Then, it'll be logical to think that it was already written, prepared and in a good order, before going to Madina.
That’s a nice theory. But it’s wrong. In the time of the prophet (peace be upon him), the Quran was not written on paper and assembled as a book. This procedure was only after the prophet’s life (peace be upon him) done. The manuscript though can be dated back to time of his blessed companions. Anyway, the Quran was primarily passed down through tongue and memorization. And we can date the Quran back to the prophet (peace be upon him) through a large amount of rich chains of narration. That’s the reason why we know how every word in the Quran is pronounced and how they’re vocalized.

already compiled and finished by the time of caliph Abu Bakar around 633, actually. Caliph Usman made copies from The one compiled by caliph Abu Bakar and stardardized the recitation.
He didn’t standardized the words of Allah SWT. Rather he standardized the way of recitation of The Holy Quran. Arabic is a luxuriant and versatile language. One word Which is Feminine in a Group, may be used as neuter / masculine in another group previously at the time of Prophet PBUH. And, For your kind consideration, At the time of Uthman (R.) there was about 7 reciting styles in Arabic. So he assembled it into a single style and copy. Even there was no punctuation marks then. Later, Hazzaz Bin Yousuf (died 714 AD) added punctuation to the Quran. So, please don’t beat about the bush without knowing abou the preservation of Quran. If Uthman (R.) hadn’t done that, you, you people would make multifarious meanings of Quran (as we are not native arabic speakers) and have nullified Quran as the book of god.

It should be noted that Uthman (rn) "destoryed" those Qur'an scripts which were written in various dialects so that tribes other than the Qur'aysh could understand the revelation. After the message was finally conveyed, Uthman had to make sure that only the Quraysh version of the Qur'an should be in circulation.

You are correct, but you're looking from a close-up angle. Take a step back. Look at it from the bird's-eye view. I literally said it's not like the canonisation of the Bible.
@@ChangedNames no, it's a literal language back then. The Quraysh language, the Hudhayl language, etc. It goes to individual tribes. Dialects goes to individual countries/cities, like Basra, Kufa, Mecca, Medina. Each language has its different dialects. There is *a difference between لهجات (dialects) and أحرف (language systems).* Grammar can totally change because of the difference of Arabic languages, but not dialects. And some of those other languages can be found in the Quran, though mainly being the Quraysh language. For example, Malaysian and Indonesian are counted as *two totally different languages,* even though they are technically the same. But within Malaysia, the people of Kedah might have *a different dialect* than the people of Kelantan, the people of Perak etc. So yeah, you are right. Languages and dialects are different things. *And I'm not referring to dialects,* I am referring to languages.
I was taught that the prophet Muhammad, (ʿalayhi s-salām), first wife, Khadīja bint Khuwaylid wrote down the words as he, the prophet Muhammad (ʿalayhi s-salām), told her what the angel said to him. Is that now considered not to be true, or was I just misunderstanding?
Awesome , very enlightening - where is oldest manuscript which is complete and standardised one ( Uthman ) . What we get today for Urdu speaking world , which script is it ?
If the Quran is true, then Islam is false. by CARM If the Quran is true, then Islam is false. Why? Because the Quran says to trust the Gospels and the four Gospels contradict the Quran. This means the Quran can't be true if it says the gospel message is also true. In order to show this, I will quote several verses from the Quran. The more important ones are bolded for easy reference later. None can change Allah's words 6:34, "Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers." 6:115, "The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all." 18:27, "And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him." Moses was given the Torah 2:87, "We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay! 3:3, "It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong)." David was given the Psalms 4:163, "We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms." Jesus was given the gospel 57:27, "Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors. Christians should judge by what is in the Gospel 5:47, "Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel." The Quran confirms the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospels and guards them Quran 2:136 Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." 5:48 To thee [the people of the gospel] We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute; Ask Christians about spiritual things. 10:94 And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. Curse on those who say God has a son 9:30, "The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! Jesus not crucified 4:157, "That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not." Alright, so we see that... None can change Allah's words (6:34; 6:115; 18:27). Jesus was given the gospel by Allah (57:27). The Quran confirms the Gospels (5:48) The Gospels contradict the Quran So, if the Quran confirms the Gospels which says that Jesus was crucified (Matthew 27:26-31; Mark 15:15-20; Luke 23:32-34; John 19:17-18) and the Quran says Jesus was not crucified (Surah 4:157), then the Quran is false. But if it says the Gospels are false, then the Quran denies its own teaching and Islam is false.
I was under the impression that strictly speaking the Qur'an *can't* be translated, because translation necessitates interpretation. Since something is lost or distorted in the interpretive process, what comes out of a translation is no longer properly the Qur'an. Am I mistaken?
well in sufism side of islam,it is a valid question...and there is a concept in sufism that muhammad's(P.B.U.H) knowledge is preserved in the heart of a sufi...as the quran was originally revealed to prophet muhammad's heart so the real protection of quran was actually preservation of that heart(that knowledge)which reached the pinnacle of humanity to be able to receive such a heavy burden as quran...that's why these are the sufi's who have played a major role in the spread is islam and created a long lasting impact(take indian subcontinent as an example)...holy prophet(P.B.U.H) said that i am a city of knowledge and Ali(A.S) is its door,one has to pass through Ali to reach muhammad(PBUH)...in this hadees lies the basic concept of sufism...so the interpretation of quran in the right manner is also preserved but it is a very hard concept for even many muslims to digest too😅🤣but anyone can read the life story of a mystic like bulleh shah and many others to understand the idea and it really hits home
When ever Quran is written in a different language we call it “translation of the interpretation of the Quran”. Because interpretation of the Quran is called Tafseer and it’s also in Arabic.
Kuran is only one IT is Atabic. You go to every part of world your take a sura and match them, they will the same. Translation is not the quran, it willbe allow to be translated because every people in the world is not mother tongue arabic. But you take one bible of the World and One part of side of other bible you will not find similiraty. Othodox bible is differ than Chatolic bibel.
*Where is the oldest Hindu books claimed to be oldest* ? Oldest Vedas composed and written by Ved Vyasa about 50,000 years back 4 Vedas today consist of 12,000 pages written by tiny computer fonts Ved Vyasa never saw never met God but fabricated it with meditation and dream work *Think of 12.000 pages of dream work???* *Mahabharata written by a Sanskrit writing An elephant Ganesh with its Tooth as Pen and trunk as Hand* Who never saw and never met Krishan the hero of the book. Mahabharata /Gita is about 6000 pages in tiny Computer fonts some 40,000 years back. Ramayana written by Dakoo/Dacoit Walt Mickey / Valmiki like saint Paul, who never met and never saw Ram the main character of book. *All those Hindu book were written in Cave mans age or Primitive age, when still gods was cloth less or leaves wrapped like Shiva Vishnu Brahma Ram and Krishna.*
This piece is just an indication that the Quran dates back to the era of prophecy. The preservation is something else. If we had a whole copy it wouldn’t have been that impressive. I mean we could’ve gone back to it from time to time. The Quran was preserved in a more impressive way. The style of narration has been carried on mostly by reciting from one another over hundreds of centuries or oral tradition. that’s why we still have one version of the Quran over these centuries when Muslims were spread all over the map. it’s near impossible to preserve a whole book in such circumstances by just oral tradition. and the same content can also be found in all kinds of Islamic sharia law books especially the books of interpretation with no contradictions between them. and there are manuscripts of those books that date back to hundreds of years ago which is a refutation for those who want to use the stupid 1924 argument. which also goes against them, because how can you bring muslims together to follow one book and they couldn’t do it with their bible? and those who want to use Qira’ats as an argument, we have 10 authentic Qira’ats and 4 non authentic Qira’ats and we all agree on what’s authentic and what’s not and all of this has been preserved just by recitation generation after generation and the prophet used them all. This is how it’s actually being preserved. Not to mention that Muslims have gone through so many different hardships throughout the history. The mongols destroyed the library of Baghdad which was the capital of the caliphate. the Muslims were defeated in Spain and the Christians destroyed almost everything. In the 19th century the majority of Muslim countries were colonized by non-Muslim countries. Muslims were divided in so many time and yet the book is still the same, The content is still the same. Not like the Christians and the Jews who lost the preservation of their books after the Babylonians and the Roman Catholics took over Jerusalem one after another. at the end of the day language itself is a miracle, i mean we speak arabic as a native language but none of us could come up with something eloquent like the Quran, not even close to that.
@@Mgbizkut they really do, now we have an army of millions of muslims memorize the entire book and ready to die for what it says. live with it! by the way you need to focus on your crappy issues don’t mind us, focus on your genders, your pronouns, child trafficking and and.. i mean you got a lot to focus on. the holy Quran i beyond you. glory to Allah glory to Islam , ☝️.

Listening and watching to this video may we safely conclude that there are different versions of the Qur'an? Kaliph Uhtman standardized the Qur'an, but he destroyed other versions. How can we be so sure he had the wisdom to preserve the right version and why did he destroy other versions? Now we cannot check his judgement. Maybe he destroyed the right version and preserved the false one?
The reason "why", the method "how", and the names of the team who did it "who", and the differences were all documented by Muslims in their books. The different versions of Quran " called Qira'at" are also kept by heart and still being used by Muslims until now. The internal evidences of the integrity Quran and the standard criterion which was set by Allah in the Quran on how to know whether it came from Allah is also there, studied in details by both Muslim Scholars and anti-Islam orientalists. It only takes you few hours of reading in Islamic sources to know the answer to your question
uthman didnt do it all by himself, he himself was one of the closest companions of the prophet pbuh, and he discussed it very thoroughly with other senior companions. the master copy which the scribes copied from was of the wife of the prophet pbuh. The scribes themselves were also companions, some of whom being the original scribes whilst the prophet pbuh was alive. Also, the quran, even today, is widely preserved through the oral tradition, with millions having memorised it, and could recite the quran in its entirety without looking at the text, this was also the case throughout the entirety of the religion, especially how the prophet pbuh himself was illiterate
@@TruthPrevails101 there is one picture in Wikipedia that compare the manuscript (1 page) and today's Qur'an (End of Surah Maryam and beginning of Surah Taahaa) And they have identical word by word.

@@kaekaeoshi69 So one page may be similar, but the other three may not be??? So again, unless you have the full word by word translation, you cannot say that hey are the same.
@@TruthPrevails101 Before claiming find proofs , that's how it works. Qur'an means ' recitation ' Not just a 'book'. It claimed that it will be preserved 1400 years ago, Till this day Millions still memorize it , even non-arab kids at 6 can memorize it fully, we recite it every single day 5 times, it's not an easy mission for someone to come up with his own version and ask us to follow.
The explanations about the differences between old Qurans around 9:00 are portraying the differences as small and insignificant, but the existence of these differencese still 100% disproves the Muslim narrative and Muhammad's claim as a whole. The words were not holy nor were they from God, they were not free from errors and they were indeed corrupted and miswritten Great video
I don't like how you suggest there's no way the oldest Quran came before Uthmans just because they're so similar. Didn't you think maybe that's because the Uthmani one is collecting all the part of the previously written and memorized parts and they were taken care of in both ways so profoundly?
Because the Qur’an was not revealed to the Prophet once, but rather it was revealed over a period of 20 years. And it was common for a verse to be abrogated (meaning it is replaced by another verse or simply does not become part of the Qur’an), but it was written by the Companions. That is why when Uthman collected the Qur’an, he compiled it according to the Prophet's last reading of the entire Qur'an, may Allah bless him (and he used to read the entire Qur’an every Ramadan and recite it to Gabriel) and for this reason He burned all other copies that might contain abrogated verses in order for Muslims to unite on one Qur'an (the last update of the Qur'an before the death of the Prophet, may Allah bless him). I hope you get the idea.
Just imagine if the oldest copies of the Bible was in Saudi Arabia museum or Pakistani museum?? yeah exactly, so UK and France must return the copies to Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
You should do one abt other holy books, or just religious texts, too, as the Vedas, the Dao de jing, the Lun yu.

The Islamic prophet had a number of prominent scribes (kātib), including Abd Allah ibn Masud, Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Zayd ibn Thabit According to Islamic sources before Caliph Uthman's standardization, after which variants were burned, the Quran may have contained either 116 chapters (Ubayy Ibn Ka'ab's codex) or 111 chapters (Ibn Ma'sud's codex).
What you say is factually wrong. You are half heartedly referring to the 7 mutawatir Qiraat of the Quran. The 7 Qiraat of the Quran were all taught by the prophet and are accurate as the Quran was revealed in all of them. The most wide spread Qiraah is the Asim Qiraah which people mistakenly call "Uthamic" which is just simply false. This is the "standard" because it is the most spread. "Ibn Masuds Codex" is merely the Qiraah that was taugh by Ibn masud AMONG OTHERS and people have this misconception that uthman eradictad them because they would somehow constitute a Tahreef (distortion) of the Quran. This is false. They are still used today. I know someone who has memorized the "Ibn Masud Codex" by heart completely. They arent some secrets muslims try to hide or something. It is merely a legitimate Qiraat which dates back the prophet sav himself. The different Qiraat are literally the same, only very few synonmous words are different (Ya'lemun -> Yafqahun for example, both having the same Zahir meaning) and Harakat difference which do not constitute a distortion ('Alima -> 'Alama). This boils down to the 7 dialects of the Arabian peninsula having these differences in Harakat which do not change the thing and again the prophet sav is the source of these (and through him the ultimate source is God himself) You call yourself Haqq. You are merely Kizb and a Kezzab. May Allah darken your face or enlighten it with the light of islam

@Benjamin Iota 1) The Ahruf you refer to are the seven dialects of the tribes of Mecca and Medina, Rasoolallah SAW said that the Quran has been revealed in 7 tongues, so recite which is easiest ( see Bukhari 4992) 2) Hafs and Warsh are two types of Qiraat or recitation which stem from the 7 Ahruf, if you watch a quran recitation competition they tell you which qiraat they will be reading from- Hafs is the more commonly used one. 3) Uthman ibn Affan AS burned those copies circulating around Persia because they were written by non Arabs, thus they had mistakes and errors, so he gathered all the copies, burned the pages that had errors or would burn the entire thing and rewrite it from scratch.

We have the concept Hafiz in Islam. Abu Bakr RA, Omer RA, Uthman RA and Ali RA, the four rightly guided calipha knew and memorised Quran by heart. Abu Bakr RA and Omer RA were Prophet Muhammad father in laws and Ali RA and Uthman RA were cousins of Prophet Muhammads. Prophet Muhammad saw wife Ayesha RA who whole memorised the Quran by heart lived up to Ali RA reign as Calipha, so witnessed the compilation of Quran into a book. Abdullah bin Masood RA was the actual person doing and managing compilation into a book of Quran while Uthman RA watched over it. Abdullah ibn Masood was a famous student of Prophet Muhammad saw, who learnt Quran directly from Prophet (saw).
Ali RA was cousin and son in law of the Prophet SAW and Usman RA was also son in law. Ali RA died in 40 hijri and Aisha RA died in 57 hijri. Ibn Masood RA was not in the comity who compiled Quran, it was Zaid bin Sabit RA accompanied by Umar RA in Abu Bakr RA time and Zaid bin Sabit RA accompanied by Saeed bin Al Aas RA and Abdullah bin Zubair RA etc in Usman RA time.
memorised by Blind belief not by heart
Then how come Othman burn all of them what was the reason I can only thing that he could not understand any of it because it was horrible!
@Edison Manafi I don't get where you get the idea that Uthman burned the Qur'an because they were horrible? What happened was during Uthman,s reign there begin to appear many companion copies. These copies included exegetical notes, different chapter divisions, etc. So what Uthman did is standardized the text, then sent these texts to the major cities of that time like Makkah and others and instead of going and checking all other copies whether which one is correct and which one is wrong they should use the copy that almost every companion agreed was correct.
If they all memorized the book by heart, why it took them 20 years to combine one, they could have crossed checked with each other and finalised a book in Ramadan.
Why did Osman burn all the original texts!

Uthman didn't change anything nor there were spelling errors what Uthman did was compile the whole Quran together as it was revealed to the Prophet partially over his lifetime and the companions had different single verses written with them Uthman made the whole Quran available to all
No he did not, the real Quran has the verses of stoning and 10 times adult breastfeeding.
Uthman's book is a corruption

Great video! love the quality of your work and research.
As for 11:15 , why assume it would be different if it was written before Uthman's standardized quran? if it was written while prophet Muhammad was alive then the logical thing is that it would match Uthman's version, because he was a contemporary of the prophet, he lived besides him for years and he likely memorized the Quran directly from him, as did a lot of his companions. It's Uthman's Quran that should match the Birmingham manuscript and not the other way around
I guess he only meant different in terms of the type of script in which it was written
Thank you for this enlightening presentation. Amazing as always

No we christians dont care about it because we know the bible is way older than the quran and the quran doesnt align with bible, the quran denies that isaac was the one chosen to be sacrificed, the quran says it was ishmael when in reality was isaac the bible was first, jesus was the fullfilment of all the holy scriptures

I would like to see an overview of the Arabic scripts. Might also be a opportunity for a graph imho.
I second this. I want to know the chart of Arabic script, the hijazi, the kufic, the naskh, etc..
I know a bit about this, since I studied Arabic at school and Arabic calligraphy afterwards, and I'd love to see that video made. They're better thought of as different fonts rather than different scripts. There are only minor differences that depend on origin, time period, use, whatever it was written on, and preference for either aesthetic or legibility.
As usual, you have presented a Fascinating Subject in a well done format. Thank You for this. I am always interested In learning more about how humanity 's various documents, books, religious texts, et cetera came to us.
The very first picture he's got up with the Arabic in different colours, that's TURKISH translations for the Arabic underneath it looool.
I wonder if he thought it was just how to pronounce that Arabic writing in English. Lol that's definitely NOT how to pronounce it.

Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.

everyone is talking about how informational this is but why is no one talking about how accurate the pronunciation is ( of course i also appreciate the information)
Note: the "versions" of the quran is the seven spellings of it, we muslims believe in all of them and the prophet peace be upon him told us about them, and that they all descended upon him, but the othmani one(or the qurashi) is the most famous, but if you go to countries like morocco you would see the other version, so they are not like different bibles of even errors or something like that

Good explanation. But you mentioned inaccurate information
Caliph Othman did not make a new version during his reign
Rather, he relied on the copy written by Zaid bin Thabet during the reign of the first Caliph Abu Bakr, and the copy was preserved with Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace.
there is another thing, Muslims do not pay much attention to manuscripts because the method of preserving the Qur’an was through memorization and repetition of the entire Qur’an
Most of the Muslims memorized the Qur’an at the age of seven years, and the memorizer obtained a certificate from the Sheikh for that Qur’an was preserved by the large number of memorizers over the ages.
You are not an Arab, most likely from the subcontinent. Because people like you, a new Quran cannot be written.
The mind-boggling point is, even if all the written Qurans vanished from the world today, the Muslims via Quran Hafiz who are in the millions throughout the world on all continents can recreate Allah's words in the written form. Takbir ☝️

First off - no apology needed for pronunciation errors in other languages. Your accent alone is so rich and pleasant to listen to. Second - the early Muslims had a solid point when they claimed the original Arabic was sacred. The bulk of discrepancies that cause conflict in religions come from interpretation of a language and/or culture that is foreign to the present day reader. A good example I picked up the other day; Joseph’s coat was always referred to as having many colors. There’s even a rose named the Joseph’s Coat rose based on this translation. Well, the original wording in its original context was more likely referring to a long coat with sleeves, such as an individual would wear for special occasions, or if they were wealthy and didn’t have to work for a living. While this one’s simple and doesn’t hold a record for any dramatic schisms, it’s an example of where many of the controversies we have today likely originated.
A lot of words just to say thank you for the fabulous work on this video. Matt only brings in the best! I
ever noticed that the 'orignal' korans were written in a North Arabic dialect and not in the Mecca or Medina dialect Quaraish (I don't know the right spelling) as Uthman demanded?
@@e-college-sait I do not think you understand what you are saying.
What do you mean written in dialect and then ordered to be written in another dialect?
As a Jewish girl who has read the Tanach more times than I can count, the debate on Yosef's "coat" is more complex than that. First of all, it was a kutonet, a tunic, rather than a coat. Second, it's described as a kutonet pasim, which would generally be translated as a striped tunic. There's debate about what these stripes were- whether they were woven or embroidered, and there are some who claim that it meant that it had long sleeves. However, pasim does mean stripes, so there's a high chance that it just means a striped tunic.
Everything was just fine.

Hello @usefulCharts. Im a literature and theology student and I am also religious.

Problem is that no one seems to have an original Uthmanic Qur'an so cannot compare it. Also there are no vowels in the manuscripts as that was developed later in Arabic writing. Wonder how different these Qur'ans are to the Hafs or Warsh Qur'an that is used by most Muslims today?

@@jkmcgregor7797 Interesting so if you have the consonants B & D then you know what vowel goes in the middle? Guess the wrong one and that could change the meaning of the word, the whole sentence and the context of the whole phrase or leave the entire thing into an indecipherable mishmash of nonsense. The proto-Qur'an was written in Aramaic-Syriac which was the dominant language up unto the 8th century AD. They were writen in short hand as Christian Psalms that were later translated into Arabic and the Qur'an(s). Which is why there are so many ambigious (dark) passages in them. If you compare the Hafs Qur'an with the Warsh Qur'an you get about 5,000 different variances that do affect the meaning of the passages. I suggest that you look at the work done by Dr. Jay Smith and Hatun Tash in this field.

Not mentioned by the uploader but quite relevant: these manuscripts can only be dated using the parchment it was written on and are as a consequence very inaccurate for dating the text.

I have a theory about the Birmingham Copy of Quran, I think it is wrote in prophet Muhammad's life, even before going to Madina, as the carbon test said..
Yeah, yeah.. You may ask: "what about Uthman's Unification of Quran versions, when he destroyed all of the copies? And why it is as Uthman's version" I'll tell you, what I think.
In Book of Bukhari sunnah, it's said that Uthman's kept Abu Bakr's copy, to be the main copy, to copy from it the other copies, and destroyed the other old copies. It said that Zayd bin Thabit and Omar bin Alkhattab didn't wrote all of the Quran over again, but gathered the old copies of each chapther, and compare it to the last version of Quran; then, re-order it. Ater that, they filled the gaps in the pages (by re-writing) that was made because of ordering the Quran.
So, Most of the Quran in that copy was written in prophet Muhammad's life, and kept by Caliph Abu Bakr, Omar, and so, Caliph Uthman.
And, since chapter of "Isra'" to "Taha" all of them are chapters that given to Muhammad in Makkah before Hijrah, which are that Birmingham copy about. Then, it'll be logical to think that it was already written, prepared and in a good order, before going to Madina.

That’s a nice theory. But it’s wrong. In the time of the prophet (peace be upon him), the Quran was not written on paper and assembled as a book. This procedure was only after the prophet’s life (peace be upon him) done. The manuscript though can be dated back to time of his blessed companions. Anyway, the Quran was primarily passed down through tongue and memorization. And we can date the Quran back to the prophet (peace be upon him) through a large amount of rich chains of narration. That’s the reason why we know how every word in the Quran is pronounced and how they’re vocalized.

He didn’t standardize the recitation but the text.
@@yassine073t wouldn’t that suggest there is an inconsistency between text and recitation?
He didn’t standardized the words of Allah SWT. Rather he standardized the way of recitation of The Holy Quran. Arabic is a luxuriant and versatile language. One word Which is Feminine in a Group, may be used as neuter / masculine in another group previously at the time of Prophet PBUH. And, For your kind consideration, At the time of Uthman (R.) there was about 7 reciting styles in Arabic. So he assembled it into a single style and copy. Even there was no punctuation marks then. Later, Hazzaz Bin Yousuf (died 714 AD) added punctuation to the Quran. So, please don’t beat about the bush without knowing abou the preservation of Quran. If Uthman (R.) hadn’t done that, you, you people would make multifarious meanings of Quran (as we are not native arabic speakers) and have nullified Quran as the book of god.
@@uniformityofnature1488 Yes there is. There are many letters in the Quran you don’t speak out “silent letters” there are many rules while reading the Quran correctly. Also there are slightly different recitations coupled with slightly different texts.
Standardization of the Quran means correcting even the slightest mistakes, dividing the chapters correctly, and filling in the gaps if there were any.
It is amazing that we have Quran pieces from the time of the Prophet and a nearly complete Quran from the time of Sahaba (companions of the Prophet). It proves that the modern Quran that we are reading has not changed over time. Thanks for the info.
What?
@supism This is not true. The Prophet in his presence completed the Quran in written Book form, which "completed the Deen".
It should be noted that Uthman (rn) "destoryed" those Qur'an scripts which were written in various dialects so that tribes other than the Qur'aysh could understand the revelation. After the message was finally conveyed, Uthman had to make sure that only the Quraysh version of the Qur'an should be in circulation.
you'll need to research first old Quraysh's arabic, cause their dialect are even not match with today or during rome's time, the trouble of linguistic are some of them are vanished from popularity.

Correction, *it was completed at the time of the First Caliph,* Abu Bakr. It was preserved by him firstly, then his successor Umar, then the latter’s daughter Hafsa.
At the time of Uthman, it was "standardised" into one mode out of the 7 Arabic modes (not the same as the standardisation or *canonisation* of the Bible). The other 6 were burnt.
*All were inspired,* but the Arabic Quraysh mode was the first, it was also the mode of Muhammad's tribe.

The problem is human one, as always!

There is *a difference between لهجات (dialects) and أحرف (language systems).* Grammar can totally change because of the difference of Arabic languages, but not dialects.
And some of those other languages can be found in the Quran, though mainly being the Quraysh language.
For example, Malaysian and Indonesian are counted as *two totally different languages,* even though they are technically the same.
But within Malaysia, the people of Kedah might have *a different dialect* than the people of Kelantan, the people of Perak etc.
So yeah, you are right. Languages and dialects are different things. *And I'm not referring to dialects,* I am referring to languages.
The text was standardized. There is only one Arabic language which is the Arabic from the Quran.
I was taught that the prophet Muhammad, (ʿalayhi s-salām), first wife, Khadīja bint Khuwaylid wrote down the words as he, the prophet Muhammad (ʿalayhi s-salām), told her what the angel said to him. Is that now considered not to be true, or was I just misunderstanding?
I never heard this before
Excellent video. Do you know the origin copy of Ustman Mushaf, since historian said that original mushaf Ustman is not found until today.
Awesome , very enlightening - where is oldest manuscript which is complete and standardised one ( Uthman ) . What we get today for Urdu speaking world , which script is it ?
lucknow script
It is also known as urdu musaf
If the Quran is true, then Islam is false.
by CARM
If the Quran is true, then Islam is false. Why? Because the Quran says to trust the Gospels and the four Gospels contradict the Quran. This means the Quran can't be true if it says the gospel message is also true. In order to show this, I will quote several verses from the Quran. The more important ones are bolded for easy reference later.
None can change Allah's words
6:34, "Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers."
6:115, "The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all."
18:27, "And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him."
Moses was given the Torah
2:87, "We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
3:3, "It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong)."
David was given the Psalms
4:163, "We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms."
Jesus was given the gospel
57:27, "Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.
Christians should judge by what is in the Gospel
5:47, "Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel."
The Quran confirms the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospels and guards them
Quran 2:136 Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
5:48 To thee [the people of the gospel] We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
Ask Christians about spiritual things.
10:94 And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers.
Curse on those who say God has a son
9:30, "The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
Jesus not crucified
4:157, "That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not."
Alright, so we see that...
None can change Allah's words (6:34; 6:115; 18:27).
Jesus was given the gospel by Allah (57:27).
The Quran confirms the Gospels (5:48)
The Gospels contradict the Quran
So, if the Quran confirms the Gospels which says that Jesus was crucified (Matthew 27:26-31; Mark 15:15-20; Luke 23:32-34; John 19:17-18) and the Quran says Jesus was not crucified (Surah 4:157), then the Quran is false. But if it says the Gospels are false, then the Quran denies its own teaching and Islam is false.
I was under the impression that strictly speaking the Qur'an *can't* be translated, because translation necessitates interpretation. Since something is lost or distorted in the interpretive process, what comes out of a translation is no longer properly the Qur'an. Am I mistaken?
well in sufism side of islam,it is a valid question...and there is a concept in sufism that muhammad's(P.B.U.H) knowledge is preserved in the heart of a sufi...as the quran was originally revealed to prophet muhammad's heart so the real protection of quran was actually preservation of that heart(that knowledge)which reached the pinnacle of humanity to be able to receive such a heavy burden as quran...that's why these are the sufi's who have played a major role in the spread is islam and created a long lasting impact(take indian subcontinent as an example)...holy prophet(P.B.U.H) said that i am a city of knowledge and Ali(A.S) is its door,one has to pass through Ali to reach muhammad(PBUH)...in this hadees lies the basic concept of sufism...so the interpretation of quran in the right manner is also preserved
but it is a very hard concept for even many muslims to digest too😅🤣but anyone can read the life story of a mystic like bulleh shah and many others to understand the idea and it really hits home
When ever Quran is written in a different language we call it “translation of the interpretation of the Quran”.
Because interpretation of the Quran is called Tafseer and it’s also in Arabic.
@@yassine073t That's more or less what I thought, thanks for confirming!
Kuran is only one IT is Atabic.
You go to every part of world your take a sura and match them, they will the same.
Translation is not the quran, it willbe allow to be translated because every people in the world is not mother tongue arabic.
But you take one bible of the World and One part of side of other bible you will not find similiraty.
Othodox bible is differ than Chatolic bibel.
*Where is the oldest Hindu books claimed to be oldest* ?
Oldest Vedas composed and written by Ved Vyasa about 50,000 years back
4 Vedas today consist of 12,000 pages written by tiny computer fonts
Ved Vyasa never saw never met God but fabricated it with meditation and dream work
*Think of 12.000 pages of dream work???*
*Mahabharata written by a Sanskrit writing An elephant Ganesh with its Tooth as Pen and trunk as Hand*
Who never saw and never met Krishan the hero of the book.
Mahabharata /Gita is about 6000 pages in tiny Computer fonts some 40,000 years back.
Ramayana written by Dakoo/Dacoit Walt Mickey / Valmiki like saint Paul, who never met and never saw Ram the main character of book.
*All those Hindu book were written in Cave mans age or Primitive age, when still gods was cloth less or leaves wrapped like Shiva Vishnu Brahma Ram and Krishna.*
This piece is just an indication that the Quran dates back to the era of prophecy. The preservation is something else. If we had a whole copy it wouldn’t have been that impressive. I mean we could’ve gone back to it from time to time. The Quran was preserved in a more impressive way. The style of narration has been carried on mostly by reciting from one another over hundreds of centuries or oral tradition. that’s why we still have one version of the Quran over these centuries when Muslims were spread all over the map. it’s near impossible to preserve a whole book in such circumstances by just oral tradition. and the same content can also be found in all kinds of Islamic sharia law books especially the books of interpretation with no contradictions between them. and there are manuscripts of those books that date back to hundreds of years ago which is a refutation for those who want to use the stupid 1924 argument. which also goes against them, because how can you bring muslims together to follow one book and they couldn’t do it with their bible? and those who want to use Qira’ats as an argument, we have 10 authentic Qira’ats and 4 non authentic Qira’ats and we all agree on what’s authentic and what’s not and all of this has been preserved just by recitation generation after generation and the prophet used them all. This is how it’s actually being preserved. Not to mention that Muslims have gone through so many different hardships throughout the history. The mongols destroyed the library of Baghdad which was the capital of the caliphate. the Muslims were defeated in Spain and the Christians destroyed almost everything. In the 19th century the majority of Muslim countries were colonized by non-Muslim countries. Muslims were divided in so many time and yet the book is still the same, The content is still the same. Not like the Christians and the Jews who lost the preservation of their books after the Babylonians and the Roman Catholics took over Jerusalem one after another. at the end of the day language itself is a miracle, i mean we speak arabic as a native language but none of us could come up with something eloquent like the Quran, not even close to that.
Although im glad u admit these manuscripts are nothing close to proving perfect preservation
@@Mgbizkut they really do, now we have an army of millions of muslims memorize the entire book and ready to die for what it says. live with it! by the way you need to focus on your crappy issues don’t mind us, focus on your genders, your pronouns, child trafficking and and.. i mean you got a lot to focus on. the holy Quran i beyond you. glory to Allah glory to Islam , ☝️.
I'd be interested in reading the oldest version. How does it align with current versions?
Really interesting, and informative!
I am so proud of my self, as an Asian Muslim from Turkistan i easily read the 2nd and the 1st manuscripts which were the oldest. The remaining 6 i had diffifculty and tried so hard but couldnt! Its so amazing that i was able to read the scripts that were closer to the Prophets time than being able to read newer scripts found 😇😂 Miracle or what!
Wow! How are you able to read it? 😮
@@isatubarrie9145 So, i memorized the whole Quran in Arabic, that made it easier for me to read. But im still upset i couldnt read the remaining 6 scripts though 🤷🥲
@對不起，謝謝。 With all due respect, are you referring to the Virgin Mary mother of Jesus? Because i do believe she existed as a holy and noble woman. I love her and respect her so much for her devotion to GOD ALMIGHTY. So, i'm kind of confused about what you're talking about Mary.
@@isatubarrie9145 This brother is non Arab and he can read it. I can read them all no problem, we still write like this today in book titles, certificates, wedding invitations and other special productions
@@isatubarrie9145 Well i am an indian muslim
And i can also read it
Listening and watching to this video may we safely conclude that there are different versions of the Qur'an? Kaliph Uhtman standardized the Qur'an, but he destroyed other versions. How can we be so sure he had the wisdom to preserve the right version and why did he destroy other versions? Now we cannot check his judgement. Maybe he destroyed the right version and preserved the false one?
The reason "why", the method "how", and the names of the team who did it "who", and the differences were all documented by Muslims in their books. The different versions of Quran " called Qira'at" are also kept by heart and still being used by Muslims until now. The internal evidences of the integrity Quran and the standard criterion which was set by Allah in the Quran on how to know whether it came from Allah is also there, studied in details by both Muslim Scholars and anti-Islam orientalists. It only takes you few hours of reading in Islamic sources to know the answer to your question
uthman didnt do it all by himself, he himself was one of the closest companions of the prophet pbuh, and he discussed it very thoroughly with other senior companions. the master copy which the scribes copied from was of the wife of the prophet pbuh. The scribes themselves were also companions, some of whom being the original scribes whilst the prophet pbuh was alive. Also, the quran, even today, is widely preserved through the oral tradition, with millions having memorised it, and could recite the quran in its entirety without looking at the text, this was also the case throughout the entirety of the religion, especially how the prophet pbuh himself was illiterate
Exactly why they claim it’s the perfect word of god when there were to many versions !?
@@ashyasinwe don't need manuscripts we have it on our hearts
Has anybody got the full translation of the Birmingham Folio?
No, but you can check Wikipedia for some photos and you can compare it with today's Qur'an (it's identical)
@@kaekaeoshi69 NO!!!! you can not say it is identical is you do not have a full translation!!!
Please do not behave like the best of the deceivers.
@@TruthPrevails101 there is one picture in Wikipedia that compare the manuscript (1 page) and today's Qur'an
(End of Surah Maryam and beginning of Surah Taahaa) And they have identical word by word. The difference is just letter font and adding vowel sign
For Qur'an readers who learn Arabic, they'll read the manuscript easily even without vowel sign
@@kaekaeoshi69 So one page may be similar, but the other three may not be???
So again, unless you have the full word by word translation, you cannot say that hey are the same.
@@TruthPrevails101 Before claiming find proofs , that's how it works.
Qur'an means ' recitation '
Not just a 'book'.
It claimed that it will be preserved 1400 years ago,
Till this day Millions still memorize it , even non-arab kids at 6 can memorize it fully, we recite it every single day 5 times, it's not an easy mission for someone to come up with his own version and ask us to follow.
The explanations about the differences between old Qurans around 9:00 are portraying the differences as small and insignificant, but the existence of these differencese still 100% disproves the Muslim narrative and Muhammad's claim as a whole. The words were not holy nor were they from God, they were not free from errors and they were indeed corrupted and miswritten
Great video
I don't like how you suggest there's no way the oldest Quran came before Uthmans just because they're so similar. Didn't you think maybe that's because the Uthmani one is collecting all the part of the previously written and memorized parts and they were taken care of in both ways so profoundly?
perhaps, it means, as a bundle of scriptures. before that, mostly oral and written to another media. 🤔🤔🤔
YOU'VE DONE JUSTICE, THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING PEOPLE.
same as your Name Adil which means Just.
@@cherb6261 thank you :)
Why did Uthman burn qurans?
Coz those alternate manuscripts had minor incorrect grammar and spellings. Its minor, but minor mistakes are not susceptible to God's word.
no one knows if he did or he didn't, it's just stories written years after his reign! the early islamic history is full of black holes!
Because the Qur’an was not revealed to the Prophet once, but rather it was revealed over a period of 20 years. And it was common for a verse to be abrogated (meaning it is replaced by another verse or simply does not become part of the Qur’an), but it was written by the Companions. That is why when Uthman collected the Qur’an, he compiled it according to the Prophet's last reading of the entire Qur'an, may Allah bless him (and he used to read the entire Qur’an every Ramadan and recite it to Gabriel) and for this reason He burned all other copies that might contain abrogated verses in order for Muslims to unite on one Qur'an (the last update of the Qur'an before the death of the Prophet, may Allah bless him). I hope you get the idea.
@@zakaria_ nah we know for sure that he burnt them, and good thing he did.
@@ahmedsalek976
for sure???? you know it like you assisted them in the operation!
Just imagine if the oldest copies of the Bible was in Saudi Arabia museum or Pakistani museum??
yeah exactly, so UK and France must return the copies to Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
You should do one abt other holy books, or just religious texts, too, as the Vedas, the Dao de jing, the Lun yu. Also smth cool would be to explore when certain religion's doctrines were written down at the first time, thinking mostly abt afro American religions like voudou, candomblé, santería, but also shinto and dao luong

Which Quran was Utmans??????
“Acquired” just say stolen or plundered.
The Islamic prophet had a number of prominent scribes (kātib), including Abd Allah ibn Masud, Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Zayd ibn Thabit
According to Islamic sources before Caliph Uthman's standardization, after which variants were burned, the Quran may have contained either 116 chapters (Ubayy Ibn Ka'ab's codex) or 111 chapters (Ibn Ma'sud's codex).
What I thought it was persevered? I keep hearing that it’s been preserved but at the same time I’ve heard that many hadiths dispute this narrative.
How you divide the Chapters is also what we call standardization.
@@uniformityofnature1488 Quran Text is created by human. Not god.
@@ZawawiYangTerakhir dude what you on about 🤦🏻♂️
What you say is factually wrong. You are half heartedly referring to the 7 mutawatir Qiraat of the Quran. The 7 Qiraat of the Quran were all taught by the prophet and are accurate as the Quran was revealed in all of them. The most wide spread Qiraah is the Asim Qiraah which people mistakenly call "Uthamic" which is just simply false. This is the "standard" because it is the most spread. "Ibn Masuds Codex" is merely the Qiraah that was taugh by Ibn masud AMONG OTHERS and people have this misconception that uthman eradictad them because they would somehow constitute a Tahreef (distortion) of the Quran. This is false. They are still used today. I know someone who has memorized the "Ibn Masud Codex" by heart completely. They arent some secrets muslims try to hide or something. It is merely a legitimate Qiraat which dates back the prophet sav himself. The different Qiraat are literally the same, only very few synonmous words are different (Ya'lemun -> Yafqahun for example, both having the same Zahir meaning) and Harakat difference which do not constitute a distortion ('Alima -> 'Alama). This boils down to the 7 dialects of the Arabian peninsula having these differences in Harakat which do not change the thing and again the prophet sav is the source of these (and through him the ultimate source is God himself)
You call yourself Haqq. You are merely Kizb and a Kezzab. May Allah darken your face or enlighten it with the light of islam
It just made eyes opened.
