Preservation Of The Quran
I have read the referred article which contains insufficient material as regard of variant readings. First and foremost, it is historically evident now that the Sana manuscripts and mushaf e usmani are different. Another thing is two main versions are being published by Shah Fahad Quran Complex Hafs and Warsh considering the both authentic. There are 52 variant words in Hafs viz a viz Warsh. No. Of total verses are still disputed among the Muslims. So it is not easy to escape from the factual position just saying Imam Shafi said this and Imam Malik said that. This is the World of Science and technology where physical and unequivocally evidence and proof are required. Last but not the least, how it is possible that through tawatar and ijma Quran reached us but the interpretation of some verses of surah qayamat only unveil to Hamid ud Din Farahi? Rest of the earlier were ignorant from the exact meaning. And there is a narration of the holy prophet SAW for the authenticity of seven recitations.
