Misreading the Quran - 3 Minute Quran Study: Episode 4

After learning about the now lost writing convention in early Quranic manuscripts where an elongated letter a was indicated by a little tick which nowadays is interpreted as an "ee" sound, it is time to look for it elsewhere.

What we find is that the Quran we know of today contains misreadings of some words, stemming from this forgotten writing convention, proving that there could not have been a strong oral tradition at the beginning of Islam.

The "3 Minute Quran Study" series is intended to slice the complex historical critical analysis of the Quran into bite-sized chunks that are easy to understand. In my upcoming book, I will explore all these topics in more detail. Followers on Patreon will get regular updates on my progress with this enormous endeavour.
