Al Fadi and Jay Smith continue their discussion of the ground breaking new work by Dr. Daniel Brubaker proving that Quran has not been passed down unchanged through the ages. The early Quran manuscripts contained only the skeleton of the text, the rasm, with no vowel marks. Those were added later. In fact, researchers have found 30 different versions of the Quran from all over the world.
Al Fadi and Jay Smith continue their conversation about the claim that the Quran the Muslims use today is the same as the Quran of Mohammad's day. They discuss Dr. Daniel Brubaker's book, Corrections in Early Qurʾān Manuscripts: Twenty Examples (Quran Manuscript Change Studies) and Dr. Brubaker's qualifications as a scholar and textual analyst.
These talks are intended to help Christians who are working with Muslims, and to help Muslims deal with some of the problems with their foundations.
Daniel Brubaker, PhD, is a scholar of Qurʾan manuscripts of the 7th-10th centuries AD, the earliest period of the book’s existence. He defended his doctoral dissertation titled “Intentional Changes in Qurʾan Manuscripts” and was awarded his PhD at Rice University in Houston in 2014. Since then he has continued his work researching corrections in early Qurʾans. To date, Brubaker has analyzed approximately 10,000 early Qurʾan manuscript folios, most in person, in institutions and libraries in Paris, St. Petersburg, Oxford, Cambridge, London, Dublin, Doha, Manama, Kuwait, Tashkent, and elsewhere.
