Anyone with 2 brain cells can fake writing styles dear :-) - Anyhow - its the same attitude and those honorifics ..... ha ha ha ha

A) That is hardly a mistake - you should have given reference for sake of accuracy - partial quote like that is unhelpful. It take you mean - Verse (20:63) - if not give me the reference - not your own ... transliteration - which does not follow a standard that I could have converted to Arabic. Its very easy to write arabic anyhow. Plus use copy paste.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ

This is taught in second year Classical Arabic - try Shrah Jami for better explanation or a commentary on Ibn Hisham Insari Shuzur Az-Zahab (Commentary: Kanuz al Arab). Even the absolute begginer book in persian that is or was commonly taught Nahw Mir - its commentaries give multiple uses of ان . These mind you are know as darsi books. So hardly breaking a sweat.

Some grammarian took ان as affirmative particle - but that never had much support with major grammarians.

قالوا - verb and subject ان nafiah liljins negation (of genus) particle هذان demonstrative pronoun ل exceptive particle - the negative and exceptive particles imply restriction - this is very in common classical arabic to use particles like that - heaache to translate in english - especially formaing positive sentences and meaning with double negation.

They said these two are not but sorcerers.

Also there are standard books of I'rab ul Quran - one commonly found on the net is محيّ الدين درويش - these books give complete break down of syntactial analysis of quran. And are commonly taught in madrassah.

B) Muslims took Quran as grammar - and developed Arabic rules from it. I take it you are going to name me Arabic Grammar book - pre Islam. From around Makkah?

Forgert grammar books - any work of literature that is not poetry - as pre islamic peotry has several distinct and differeng grammar rules. Plus it is diffcult to judge grammar from poetry.

Even then you would have to come up with the reason - why such a work is correct grammatically - etc.

Also try laying off insults ..... - why pretend and give your self such honorifics in the Nur el Masih comments.
