Our dear Amin who owns a Brand Agency what ever that is wrote

The word Sifr is a rare word even in Syriac language

Hello: the word sifr is a perfect Syriac word and it is a common loan word in Christian Arabic from Syriac to this day

You need to stick to Urdu our dear Amin who lives among kuffar

Stop you big time nonsense

Oh and for the readers here are the two words in question

القبطية النبطية

So you tell us which is which? but we kuffar do not BS like tablighees do

What a disaster foreign words in the Qur'an a book that claims to be Qur'ana 3arabiyya

For the readers: the knowledge of the Muslim masorites the likes of al-Tabari about Syriac, Hebrew, Coptic, Greek or Ethiopian was mediocre at best and you can see it in the case of al-Tabari telling us that the word sifr is a nabataen word when it is a Syriac word
