Attention Prashant: Different Qur'ans? The Warsh and the Hafs versions

You might be interested in checking this easy to understand page about the most common read/recited Qur'ans (and yes there are many Qur'ans!) and that is the Hafs version (canonized in 1923-1924) and the Warsh version (canonized in 1969) and the authors explain very significant differences between both versions of the Qur'an

And remember the fraud we hear/heard from the likes of Zakir Naik and Maududi and Ahmad Deedat and their bogus claim that there is only one Qur'an.

There is a Quranic word: Sakina and it puzzled the Persian Mufasereen. They did not seem to understand the context of the word in the Qur'an but they got the meaning (tranquility) correct. This is a loan word from Hebrew and Aramaic and it really means: A dwelling or setting of the divine presence and this is what writing of a holy book is really all about. Compare with Muslims where they got themselves stuck with a book that is clearly written by human beings mistakes and variants and all, but they are unable to admit it.
