Spelling Inconsistencies in the Quran: Difference between revisions

In the most widespread version of the Arabic Quran ([[Corruption of the Quran#The Qira.27at .28Variant Oral Readings of the Qur.27an.29|qira'a]] ''Hafs'' in the ''Uthmani'' script) there are inconsistencies and apparent errors in the spelling of many words. It would not be possible to include all the errors in a wiki article, as there are a large number of these errors and numerous other errors in other "[[Corruption of the Quran#The Qira.27at .28Variant Oral Readings of the Qur.27an.29|qira'at]]" or readings of the Qur'an. More grammatical errors can be found in a book الأخطاء اللغوية في القرآن ("Linguistic errors in the Koran") by Sami Aldeeb (in Arabic). The errors listed here, it should be noted, are not differences between different qira'aat, but rather are spelling inconsistencies within the Hafs qira'a. Some of these differences occur in the Uthmani script, which is older than the more modern imla'i script. Furthermore, the differences are in the spelling, and not in the pronunciation (recitation). In some cases Islamic scholars have added diacritics and super scripted notations to indicate the missing letters and sounds that are to be pronounced.
