He was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to confine the Qur’an to just one qira’at (reading) because the arabic text at the time did not have dots. When Uthman compiled the Qur’an, what he essentially did was to limit the number of the possible readings of the Qur’an. The Uthmanic text and the current variant readings. This is because the allowance of multiple readings is a concession, not a requirement for knowing the whole Qur’an itself. It has also been held by Muslims that any one reading of the Qur’an is sufficient to know the contents of the whole Qur’an. The significance of the multiple readings. Nobody was allowed to simply replace any word they liked because it was difficult to pronounce or they did not like it: The change in wording had to be approved by the Prophet himself. The variation between the dialects at most encompass the replacing words for their synonyms. I have previously given an example of a Quranic variant in another article of mine, for the sake of demonstration here is that same example: This point cannot be stressed enough: The Qur’an was allowed to have certain selected variants in them by the permission of the author. Islamic tradition records that during the time of the Prophet, there was an authoritative allowance for variance in the possible readings of the Qur’an in order to facilitate easier recital and memorization by the arabs.This is because the arab tribes did not all speak the same dialect as the Qurayshi arabs, the tribe of the Prophet himself. The Qur’an during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (ص) Before we look at an analysis of the manuscripts, it’s important to understand *what* the Qur’an actually is and is not with regards to its text. In other words, this valuable find is currently the only manuscript we have that survived the destruction of the non-Uthmanic variants by the 3rd caliph and his committee.

This is because they represent a Qur’an that is uniquely non-Uthmanic, that is, one of the manuscripts that does not descend from the text that the third Caliph Uthman (ر) had compiled. بسم الله Perhaps the most intriguing discovery in the field of Qur’anic studies in the last several decades is the Sana’a manuscript finding.
